  The right moment to call it would be when Org-mode has figured out 
everything

  about a change that is about to occur, but before actually doing it.
  We can be general what kind of change this could be, a TODO state 
change,
  adding a tag, setting a property, changing the priority, anything 
really.


  So we would have a property that contains a Lisp form, and that lisp 
form would

  be evaluated at that moment.
  TRIGGER would then mean to perform actions in other entries.
  BLOCKER would mean to query other entries for information, and, if 
necessary,
  abort the current action, for example by throwing to a specified 
catch form.
  Obviously, if you nee both triggers and blockers, the blockers need 
to run

  first, but we don't need separate properties/functions for this.

  The detailed implementation would then be a number of Lisp functions 
that
  take as arguments a *single* structure that contains all the info of 
the change,

  for example a property list like

  (list :type 'TODOSTATE :from nil %to "INPROGRESS" 


Due to the controversial nature of the discussion on this subject,
it seems to be better, for the time being, to keep this functionality
outside the core of org-mode.  Other reasons for this are that the
free-form nature of Org-mode files do make it non-trivial to implement
dependencies in a bullet-proof way.

I will actually take still another step back from the proposals we
discussed:  I'd like to not even fix the properties that should be
used for dependencies.

Instead, I am proposing and starting up the following route:

Org-mode version 5.13 contains two new hooks, `org-blocker-hook' and
`org-trigger-hook'.  These hooks are called before and after a state
change, respectively.  Currently only TODO state changes will do
this, but more could be added in the future.

The blocker hook is able to block a state change, the trigger
hook just happens after the change.  This is all that will go into
the core for now.

While this may seem little, it actually opens the dore wide for
a number of dependency extensions to be written, with free
choice of properties to be used and the "language" applied in
these properties to describe dependencies.  In this way
we can have different implementations working alongside without
conflicts.

As a proof of concept, I am providing a small file org-depend.el.
This is not meant as a definition of how things should be, but
as an inspiration to people who want to try their teeth at this.

Nevertheless, this small set of functions already does most of
what at least some of you have been asking for:  It introduces
the concept of chaining a sequence of TODO entries together by
insinuating only the first entry in the chain.
It also allows for entries to be identified by an :ID: property,
and this property to be used to trigger or be blocked by entries
in arbitrary places in the current file.  So I hope it will be a
good starting point, I have tried to comment it well enough
so that hacking should be easy.

Here is a copy of the documentation from that file.  The file

WARNING: This file is just a PROOF OF CONCEPT, not a supported part
 of Org-mode.

This is an example implementation of TODO dependencies in Org-mode.
It uses the new hooks in version 5.13 of Org-mode,
`org-trigger-hook' and `org-blocker-hook'.

It implements the following:

Triggering
--

1) If an entry contains a TRIGGER property that contains the word
   "chain-siblings", then switching that entry to DONE does the
   following:
   - The sibling following this entry is marked DONE.
   - The sibling also get the "chain-sibling" property, to make
 sure that, when *it* is DONE, the chain will continue.
2) If the TRIGGER property contains any other words, these are
   treated as entry id's.  That means, Org-mode will search for an
   entry with the ID property exactly equal to this word, and
   switch that entry to TODO as well.

Blocking

1) If an entry contains a BLOCKER property that contains the word
   "previous-sibling", the sibling above the current entry is
   checked.  If it is still in a TODO state, the current state
   change is blocked.
2) If the BLOCKER property contains any other words, these are
   treated as entry id's.  That means, Org-mode will search for an
   entry with the ID property exactly equal to this word, and make
   sure that this entry is done as well, before allowing the state
   change to occur.

Example:


When trying this example, make sure that the settings for TODO keywords

[Orgmode] Org-mode version 5.13

2007-10-18 Thread Carsten Dominik

Hi everyone,

I am releasing Org-mode version 5.13 at http://orgmode.org

This is a big release.  Except for severe bug fixes, the next
release will probably not be before the end of November.

Enjoy

- Carsten


Changes in Version 5.13


Overview


   - Bug fixes and improvements in column view
 + All known bugs fixed.
 + A Column view can be captured into a dynamic block.
 + The ITEM column is formatted core compactly.
 + Also ITEM can be edited with `e'

   - The agenda dispatcher
 + `<' cycles through restriction states.
 + Multi-character access codes to commands (= sub-keymaps).

   - Sorting improvements
 + User-defined sorting keys.
 + Sorting by properties.
 + Sorting of plain lists.

   - HTML  structure

   - Other stuff
 + New variables, several of them.
 + Drawers can be set on a per-file basis.
 + Better control over priority fontification in agenda.
 + M-up and M-down now move the current line up and down.
 + Abort remember template selection with C-g.

Details
===

Bug fixes and improvements in column view
-

- All the bugs described by Scott Jaderholm have been fixed
  (at least I hope so...).

- You can now capture a column view into a dynamic block, for
  exporting or printing it.  The column view can be

  + global, i.e. for the entire file
  + local, i.e. for the subtree where the dynamic block is
  + from an entry with a specific :ID: property.

  You can identify the entry whose column view you want to
  capture by assigning an :ID: property, and use that property
  in the dynamic block definition.  For example:

   * Planning
 :PROPERTIES:
   :ID: planning-overview
 :END:

   [...]

   * The column view
   #+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id "planning-overview"

   #+END:

  Use `C-c C-x r' to insert such a dynamic block, and you will
  be prompted for the ID.

- When the current column format displays the TODO keyword,
  priority or tags, these parts are stripped from the content
  of the ITEM column, making for more compact and readable
  entries.  When any of these "properties" are not listed in
  the current column format, they are instead retained in the
  ITEM column.

- You can now also edit the ITEM column with `e'.

The agenda dispatcher
-

- Instead of pressing `1' to restrict an agenda command to
  the current buffer, or `0' to restrict it to the current
  subtree or region, you can now also press `<' once or
  twice, respectively.  This frees up `1' and `0' for user
  commands, a request by Bastien.  In fact, "<" cycles
  through different restriction states.  "1" and "0" are
  still available for backward compatibility, until you bind
  them to custom commands.

- The access code to custom agenda commands can now contain
  several characters, effectively allowing to bundle several
  similar commands into a sub-keymap.  This follows an
  excellent proposal by Adam Spiers.  For example:

   (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
 '(("h" . "HOME + Name tag searches") ; describe prefix "h"
   ("hl" tags "+HOME+Lisa")
   ("hp" tags "+HOME+Peter")
   ("hk" tags "+HOME+Kim")))

- The user function option in org-agenda-custom-commands may
  now also be a lambda expression, following a request by
  Adam Spiers.

Sorting improvements


We are using a new routine for sorting entries, courtesy of
John Wiegley.  Many thanks to John.

- You can define your own function to extract a sorting key
  and in this way sort entries by anything you like.

- Entries can now be sorted according to the value of a
  property.

- Plain lists can be sorted.

HTML  structure


There is now a -based structure in exported HTML.

- The table of context is wrapped into a div with a class
  "table-of-contents".

- The outline structure is embedded in  elements with
  classes "outline-1", "outline-2" etc.

- The postamble, containing the author information and the
  date is wrapped into a div with class "postamble".

I am not sure if the class names are the best choice, let me
know if there are more "canonical" names we should use instead.

Thanks to Mike Newman and Cezar for input, and in particular
to Mike for his clearly formulated specification.

Other stuff
---

- New variable `org-agenda-window-frame-fractions' to
  customize the size limits of the agenda window in the case
  that you display the agenda window by reorganizing the
  frame.

- Drawers can be set on a per-file basis using

   #+DRAWERS: HIDDEN STATE PROPERTIES

  This will define the drawers :HIDDEN: and :STATE:.
  The :PROPERTY: dr

[Orgmode] BUG: HTML export of Tags containing underscore

2007-10-18 Thread Eric J Haywiser

I believe that tags containing the underscore character
are not correctly exported to HTML in v 5.12c.  For example
consider an org file containing:

* Test
** Test :NEW_TEST:

I would expect the HTML source to read:

1.1 Test    NEW_TEST

but instead I get

1.1 Test :NEWTEST:

I understand that _ is a valid tag character from:

6 Tags
**

headline.  Tags are normal words containing letters, numbers, `_', and
`@'.  Tags must be preceded and followed by a single colon; like
`:WORK:'.  Several tags can be specified like `:WORK:URGENT:'.

Thanks

such that $h_3 is (11) which is a little awkward.  On the other hand,
maybe I can use that to store a list in a property.

I discovered that is easy to just copy the Time_Estimate value  to
Time_Spent for those tasks that are DONE.

Of course, I was completely wrong: M-left/right does already the job of

Just one concern : if Org someday implements promoting/demoting of list
items and sublists, I think we'd like to have these keybindings:

- S-left/right   :  demote/promote a list item
- S-M-left/right :  demote/promote a whole sublist

Therefore the keys we have for editing the headlines structure will
behave quite the same for the lists structure.  

I believe editing the list structure would be more frequently used than
switching from one list type to another. Just a thought, though.

it seems that this might be better on some kind of cycle (like the

I guess S-left/right would be quite natural for this.  OK.



When you are in a list, M-RET makes the next list item, C-u M-RET 
makes
the next section, and C-RET does the same - even if for different 
reasons.

In what sense does M-RET not DWYM?


Speaking for myself I think the issue is that M-RET is a common habit 
for creating a series of either list-items or outlines.  The problem 
arises when you are under an outline and press M-RET it creates a new 
outline, when you really wanted to start a list.  Hence having a 
convenient toggle here to turn an outline to a list/vice-versa might 
be handy.  Perhaps the C-c - binding (or perhaps a cyclical one) could 
be used to include the current outline level in the cycle.  This 
binding would then also obviously be applicable on outlines, allowing 
them to be converted from outline to list.


I like `C-c -' to convert from a heading to a list item.  Very nice. 
Thanks.

I don't really think we need the other way round though, you can use
C-u M-RET or C-RET to directly get a heading from within a list.

Do we need really a menu for that?

I think a quick help message in the minibuffer would be enough. 
`?' is free in org-agenda-mode-map, and could be used for that.

If you're okay with the help message, what command would you find

[Orgmode] Reftex C-c = like menu in agenda buffer?

2007-10-18 Thread Sivaram Neelakantan

In auctex, to see the toc, we hit C-C =; there we have
a menu which goes like (r)escan (q)uit

Does it make sense to have something similar in the agenda buffer when
C-c a a is hit?  of course, 1 line in the buffer at least will be lost
to this new menu.   I believe this would be useful for a beginner as I
distinctly remember trying to work out the single letter sequences to
do something. The only key I was sure was 'q' to quit.

And in a recent thread, Carsten told me about 'x' to bury/kill the
buffers. 

Yes, when you hit C-c a, there is already a sort of menu options but
I'm talking of the agenda buffer.  Once someone has mastered most of
the keys, they should be able turn off the menu if they want.

Many thanks. It is informative. There are quite a few tutorials that I
haven't read before.

Hello,

  Sorry I wasn't around, but I think the 's might be ok if we also
  had a class for them or id to be able to style each one differently.

Cheers,

Hi,

I have made a new page for links to tutorials

http://orgmode.org/tutorials.html

Unfortunately it is still mostly a list of areas where I
could imaging a tutorial would be very useful, so let
yourself be inspired!

This is just a temporary workaround, but it might be enough in most
cases. It performs a few checks on the LaTeX output so that links and
priorities are correctly displayed in the verbatim environment.

A straightforward verbatim dump of the agenda view is fine for me. In fact I was
just going to use the ps output in my Makefile.

Well :)

Thanks for these example, but what I really need is some suggestions
about the expected content of the LaTeX output itself. 

Should we use `cal-tex.el'-like output (very nice but very specific, and
not flexible)? Should we just use a straightforward verbatim display?
Should we use sections for agenda with multiple views?

I'd start with a simple verbatim output first.

Re: [Orgmode] FR: more flexible customization of org-agenda-custom-commands key bindings

Here is how I understood it, in the context of the discussion about the
sub-keymaps feature:

1. call `org-agenda'
2. use a sub-keymap C-c a s 1
3. do some stuff in the .org file
4. recall org-agenda but immediately use the same keymap (C-c a s) and
   wait only for the *last* keystroke.

Is this it, Adam?

If the idea is just to re-display the *Org agenda* buffer, C-x b RET is
enough most of the times.  But I think the idea was to process commands
of the same kind (i.e. belonging to the same sub-keymap) quickly.

Maybe `C-c a &' (see C-c &) would be a good binding for this feature, if
implemented.
