Re: [Orgmode] Re: extensible syntax
On Jan 5, 2009, at 5:19 PM, Samuel Wales wrote: Hello again :), Let me provide examples -- using footnotes. All footnote references and definitions would be inside $[...]. (As mentioned in my previous post.) There was a concern about keeping code executable. You can use a parameter to specify whether you want the footnote to: - disappear in the code (thus keeping the code executable without having to use comments, so that the reference is at the correct position in the line, yet keeping the link pointing to the correct position) - or show up as a numbered or labeled reference The reference can look like: (defun my-example-defun $[fn defun name :invisible t] () (interactive P) ;$[fn interactive] ... The second reference is visible, but the first is not. Note that this allows references with spaces (or anything else). No need to worry about syntax conflicts within org. There was also a concern about conflicting with code syntax. Your decision as a user is whether you want $[...] to be interpreted as code or footnote. You could want either one. To make it be interpreted as code, you simply prefix the $ with a \. That takes away org's special handling of the syntax. org's footnote code merely checks for a \ in front of the $ and then it knows not to do anything except remove the \. In fact, the footnote code doesn't even have to do that. The org extensible syntax code (the code for $[...]) is what does it. The footnote code simply calls the extensible syntax code. To make it be a footnote, you don't do anything. This will work for all code examples you can dream up. There is no need to worry about which languages have $[...] in them. The advantage is that for future features, the same solutions will work. And since the syntax is extensible, it will work for completely new features. Finally, the escaping scheme should be familiar to users, as it is a common method in programming languages. Is this idea possibly of interest? Hi Samuel, this is interesting and I will keep it in mind for the next syntax change we will need.

Re: [Orgmode] Org and financial data
Hi Memnon,
Memnon Anon gegendosenflei...@googlemail.com writes:
Hi!
A new year has started and I try to get even more organized.
So, I think it is time to keep track of my financial data, and
I think orgmode is the way to go.
If your needs are simple (i.e., just tracking discretionary spending)
you might consider using properties and column views to keep track of
where your money is going. I find that this creates a nice way to sum
up weekly, monthly, and yearly expenditures. I described my admittedly
simple setup in this post:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/9827
I create a tree for each year, a subtree for each month, and a subtree
for each week, such as:
---begin org file---
#+COLUMNS: %30ITEM(Item) %15spendtype(Category) %10amount(Amount){$}
%10goal(Goal){$}
#+PROPERTY: spendtype_all food office household entertainment
* 2008
** December
:PROPERTIES:
:END:
*** Week One (November 29-December 6)
:PROPERTIES:
:goal: #fill in your own goal here#
:END:
Post Office[2008-12-02 Tue]
:PROPERTIES:
:amount: 14.40
:spendtype: office
:END:
Grocery store[2008-12-04 Thu]
:PROPERTIES:
:amount: 18.86
:spendtype: food
:END:
# More entries can go here.
---end property---
With this setup, column views provides a nice summary of weekly and
monthly spending. If you like, you can also add weekly goals to the
headline for the week and compare yearly, monthly, weekly sums to your
goals.
To search for a type of spending you easily do a tag search (e.g, C-a
m +spendtype=food), optionally restricting the search to a
particular subtree. You could then use columns view in the agenda to
see the total.
Warning: property searches will be really slow if you don't restrict
them to your spending file. If you prefer, you could easily use tags
to keep track of types of spending.
Finally, Eric Schulte's org-collector.el is great for creating
filtered tables of results. See this thread for more information:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/9908
For more sophisticated financial tracking, I'd probably recommend a
tool devoted to that purpose.
Best,
Matt

[Orgmode] Function to get the title of a heading
Hi, I want to get the title of some entry in Elisp. That is, from this heading: *** TODO Do something! I want the Do something!. I know no function to do this; although there is probably one. What I found is: - (org-entry-properties) returns the TODO keyword, the tags, and the category, but not the title. - (org-get-entry) has no useful documentation but it seems to return the content, not the heading. - (org-get-header HEADER) does something else related to mail; it seems to be unused and not much documented. - (org-get-heading t) seems to return the full line (even with keyword), but with properties: #(TODO Do something! 0 4 (org-category test1 fontified t face org-todo) 4 18 (org-category test1 fontified t face org-level-3)) Based on this, I did a function to remove the TODO keyword and the properties. (defun org-get-heading-title () Returns the heading of the current entry as a string, without the leading stars, the TODO keyword or the tags. (let ( (title-with-props (org-get-heading t)) (keyword (org-get-todo-state)) ) (substring-no-properties title-with-props (if keyword (1+ (length keyword ) ) Suggestions: - This could also be implemented as a parameter to (org-get-heading). - Or the title returned in (org-entry-properties) - And (org-get-header HEADER) could be removed. - In any case, such a function can be included in Org-mode so that it is easy to find.

Why would it matter though? You're already opening and displaying it... Granted, you could stop doing that. The only benefit to using another buffer is if the person canceled the request (ctrl-g) in mid-selection then the original contents of the remember buffer would be unaltered. There are more reasons why it matters. It is possible to make setup that will pop up the remember buffer in a different/new frame, but you might still want to have the template selection in your current frame. Also, it is allowed to call org-remember again in an existing remember buffer, to apply a new template to the existing context. Also, the template selection interface needs to be usable when there is no remember buffer, as it is also used to select a template to jump to the last note stored using that template. Most of all, it is much cleaner this way. A dispatcher splash screen is by definition a one-off temporary buffer. Creating and displaying temporary buffer is very cheap and easily done, and it is the standard way to do this kind of stuff. I have reasonably strong feelings about this, because at the beginning of my career, I did work with legacy computer codes which where done in the old days when dynamic allocation was not possible and computer memory was small, so people would write programs where the same vector was used for different purposes, in different locations of the program... :-) Agreed. -- |-James TD Smith-email/ahktenz...@mohorovi.cc-| ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Re: Org and financial data
Hey! Matthew Lundin m...@imapmail.org writes: I think orgmode is the way to go. If your needs are simple (i.e., just tracking discretionary spending) you might consider using properties and column views to keep track of where your money is going. I find that this creates a nice way to sum up weekly, monthly, and yearly expenditures. I described my admittedly simple setup in this post: Well, for now, my needs are simple. This may change, but keeping a double-entry accounting system seems overkill for my very limited budget as a student. Your setup is great, I played with it a while, and I think I will test and adopt/extend it to my needs. For more sophisticated financial tracking, I'd probably recommend a tool devoted to that purpose. Well, ledger is still installed. Some day, I will have a closer look at this. But for now, I have other things to do ... Thank you *very* much for this basic setup! memnon P.S.: btw.: It seems that cc is widely used on this mailinglist. So I use it even if I know the person is subscribed. Is this the preferred way?
