Mark,
Sorry about the yellow I hadn't noticed it. I am trying to fix it, but
it seems to be defeating my very limited css skills. The css generated

/pre
pre class=src src-emacs-shell
bzr add *.org
/pre
In my stylesheet I am trying things like:
pre.src {
font-style: bold;
color: black;
}
span.src-emacs-shell {color: black;}
However, I can't get the span (which should affect the quoted text) to
work. I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the righ
direction.
Once I have sorted this I will generate a PDF version.
The span has a hardcoded style element which specifies the colour
span style=color: rgb(255, 255, 85);Imported sources./span
I don't think you will be able to override that with CSS. You need to
somehow remove the embedded style from the exported source.
M-x customize-variable RET htmlize-output-type
and set it to `css' or `inline-css'.
Your setting is `font'
Thanks Sebastien - my setting was already inline-css. I tried switching
to css and that has fixed the problem.

Re: [Orgmode] My Python solution to generating unique Ids in headlines
I settled on using a small Python script, since I am not a Lisp programmer. 1. I created a text file todononum.txt which contains the next number to use. 2. I created the following script to read this file, return the next available number formatted in a unique, easy to find string, for example [#310]. # script next_todo.py import sys nextnum_file = C:/charles/gtd/todonum.txt try: f = open(nextnum_file, 'r') except IOError: print Unable to open %s. Program terminating. % nextnum_file sys.exit(1) val = int(f.readline()) + 1 f.close() of = open(nextnum_file, 'w') of.write(%d\n % val) of.close() print [#%s] % val Charles, If you don't need human readable numbers, you could try something like the following to generate a hash: import hashlib from time import strftime timestamp = strftime(%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S) s = myorg_item + timestamp myhash = hashlib.sha224(s).hexdigest() This combines your org text with the current timestamp to generate a hash. Since it's unlikely that you will try to create a hash from two identical org items at the same moment in time, this should be unique.

Re: [Orgmode] More interaction in column view
On Mar 4, 2009, at 10:45 AM, Daniel Clemente wrote: I'm starting to use column mode (C-c C-x C-c) and I'm surprised I can't do some tasks from within, like for instance: - move headings up/down with M-up M-down - clock in/out tasks (C-c C-x C-i and … C-o) - schedule tasks, etc. I always get: if: Text is read-only: Type `e' to edit property Technically, column view is a bitch to implement. It works by putting overlays over characters in the headline. Column 1 is an overlay over the first character, column 2 is an overlay over the second character etc. One could make the entire line a single overlay, but this would no longer allow navigation inside the table. If the headline has less characters than your number of columns, space characters will be appended to the line to make more space. These characters have to be removed when you exit column view. Anything that would change the headline, even adding a newline after it (to create space for a SCHEDULED time string) has the potential to disrupt things. To protect against this, the entire headline gets a read-only property, which then triggers an error for any operation that somehow touches the headline. With some thought, we probably could enable more commands, but that has to be done one by one, explicitly. If you and others compile a list of commands that would be nice and important to have in column view, I can have a look. If SCHEDULED is one of the columns, you can go there and press e to schedule the entry. The reason why this works is that Org does call this as a special command, disables the read-only, runs it, and then builds the column view for this headline again from scratch. To me, column view is like a *table* of *headings* (like a normal org-table, I mean). I am used to the usual org's flexibility in tables and in headings, and therefore it seems strange having to quit and reenter column mode to do these changes. Spoiled you are, I can tell ;-) - Carsten It would be an interesting experiment to have real Org tables which get/set their rows from the headings in the subtree and their columns from the properties of these headings. You would then have all the usual features of tables: formulas, edit fields (properties in this case) in a new buffer, … Mmm… maybe that table/heading/columns mix would be too complex. Anyway, do you also need to enter/quit column view many times? How do you use it comfortably? Daniel ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

For instance: 1. The cursor isn't visible sometimes when it is over a header which has the ellipsis (...) at the end. I have never seen this one. 2. When I press the up/down arrows, the cursor goes to the upper/ lower line, but 1 cell to the right. This happens just for the first up/down movement after a left/right one.

I have not seen that either, maybe you can create a reproducible test case? These problems seem difficult to debug, since I have many possible causes (color theme, changed colors, fonts, changed ellipsis, maybe wrong configuration, …).

Re: [Orgmode] Re: My Python solution to generating unique Ids in headlines
Hi Charles, if you want a pure Emacs solution for this, here is one (defvar charles-num-file C:/charles/gtd/todonum.txt) (defun charles-add-id () Add ID number to headline. (interactive) (save-excursion (org-back-to-heading t) (when (looking-at .*\\[#[0-9]+\\]) (error ID number already present)) (when (looking-at org-complex-heading-regexp) (goto-char (match-end 4)) (insert (format [#%s] (charles-next-num))) (org-set-tags nil 'align (defun charles-next-num () Get next number (let (num) (with-temp-buffer (if (file-exists-p charles-num-file) (insert-file-contents-literally charles-num-file)) (goto-char (point-min)) (setq num (1+ (or (ignore-errors (read (current-buffer))) 0 (with-temp-file charles-num-file (insert (number-to-string num))) num)) However: It really depends on how much you want to depend on these numbers. In fact, my first implementation of IDs in org did use numbers just like yours, but I moved away from them because they are simply not reliable. 1. If you ever sit on a different computer and would like to create a task, you will mess up the numbering. 2. If you forget to backup and restore the numbering file, you will run into trouble. 3. No good way to collaborate with others. But if you are convinced that you alone will use this, with a single computer, it might work OK. The one advantage of numbers as IDs is that they are better readable with the eye, and that you can even remember Oh yes, this was task 136. However, if it is a computer that is looking at the IDs, there are much better alternatives: 1. Of course, as Nick proposes, the IDs created by uuidgen. Globally unique, they will never ever give you any trouble. They are long, though, if you want to store them in the headline - that's why Org has them in a property. 2. Instead of (charles-next-num), you could use (org-id-time-to-b36) This will give you an encoding of the current time, to microsecond accuracy, in just 12 characters, good enough for multiple computers and even for large collaborations. Even if 2 people are trying to make an ID at exactly the same time, chances are still 1 in 10 or so that they would actually get the same ID. 3. If you are sure the you never make 2 IDs in the same second, you can nibble off the last digits, like (substring (org-id-time-to-b36) 0 -4) which is an 8 character encoding of the creation time, accurate to a second. Quite safe for yourself, unless you use a program like org-map-entries to create these IDs for many entries in very short time. You could even nibble away the first digit which will not become significant for another 100 years or so. (substring (org-id-time-to-b36) 1 -4) 7 characters, one second accuracy, hard to beat.

I see myself with two usage patterns. One is where I keep the file in org (or muse) format, and export to docbook and eventually pdf for external consumption. The other is where I use org (or muse) to start the docbook file, and then continue to edit the docbook. This is because docbook is so much richer than any wiki format, and I want to take advantage of what's there. -Dale -- Dale P.

[Orgmode] Auto-saving/loading files (without prompts)
Hey all, One thing I noticed about org mode I'm hoping to resolve. Basically with using git, and having something pull into the specific org file, the contents of the file change often. The problem I'm having is that what I'd like to do is to refresh the buffer, and reload this file on specific intervals. When changes are made to the file - say a state changes or something like that, I want to automatically save back to the file near immediately. I'm trying to reduce the amount of race conditions I have in if I run from the following type of workflow: - Load agenda - clock in, out, add notes - refresh file from ticket tracker - Try to save file - fail because file potentially changed. I'd like to try and get it to work as the following: - Load agenda - auto save file every 20 seconds or so: clock in, out, add notes - Refresh file from ticket tracker (this is done, already merges with current org file) - reloads buffers automatically (no prompt on this file has changed, automatically reload first then allow the edit to go through again. - auto save file and repeat the above 2 steps. I'm not totally sure if this would work, but right now what I do is: - Load agenda - Edit agenda as necessary - Save Manually - run python script to pull redmine stuff which will save it to the same file, merged. - hit refresh, confirm a few times that I want to reload the file and continue from step 2 on. The main thing I'd like to fix if the overal solution doesn't work is a way to reload the file without confirming. So if I try to refresh the agenda buffer that it would automatically reload the file too, without confirmation. I have an emacs lisp command I created that does this for me. Any ideas on how to handle this, or how to streamline this process at all? Thanks, David ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Quickly inputting next actions to specific lists.
Hello list, Let's say I have some next action that I know exactly where to put (what list), in other words, I don't need to process it (in the GTD terms), I just need to put it in the correct list. What I would like to do is some interactive function that would allow me to quickly input a new next action to a specific list. Maybe each main list in the project could have a shortcut (like tags do) and when you run this function you enter the string for the next action item, and quickly says where you want it to go, and it appends it there. I'm not deep enough in elisp to do that, so, if someone could help me I would be grateful! Thanks, Marcelo. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] Quickly inputting next actions to specific lists.
Yeah, maybe I could develop another function that uses refile (or refile's logic) to get the items where I want to. But the idea is different, I want to bind this func to a key combo, when it is called it would ask interactively for the item's string, then, after that, where I would like to put it (it might ask me to write or to choose from a list - like the add tag does).

[Orgmode] Release 6.24
Changes in version 6.24 === Incompatible changes ~ Tag searches are now case-sensitive From this release on, tag searches will be case sensitive. While I still think it would be nice to have them case-insensitive, this was both an inconsistency (TODO keyword searches have always been case-sensitive), and trouble for coding some efficient algorithms. So please make sure that you give the tags with correct casing when prompted for a match expression. New key for creating tags/property sparse trees The key to produce a sparse tree matching tags and properties is now `C-c / m' instead of `C-c a T'. This is also more consistent with the `C-c a m' key for the corresponding agenda view. `C-c / T' will still work for now, but it is no longer advertised in the documentation and may go away at any time in the future. IDs in HTML have ID- prefix when generated by uuidgen /uuidgen/ generates IDs that often start with a number, not a latter. However, IDs and names in XHTML must start with a letter. Therefore, IDs in HTML files will now get an ID- prefix if they have been generated by uuidgen. This means that id links from one file to another may stop working until all files have been exported again. In agenda, only priority cookies get the special face == So far, an entire task would get a special face when `org-agenda-fontify-priorities' was set. Now, the default value for this variable is the symbol `cookies', which means that on the cookie is fontified. Set it to `t' if you want the entire task headline to be fontified. Details PDF export of agenda views === Agenda views can now be exported to PDF files by writing them to a file with extension .pdf. Internally this works by first producing the postscript version and then converting that to PDF using the ghostview utility `ps2pdf'. Make sure that this utility is installed on your system. The postscript version will not be removed, it will stay around. Inline some entry text for Agenda View export == When exporting an agenda view to HTML or PDF for printing or remote access, one of the problems can be that information stored in entries below the headline is not accessible in that format. You can now copy some of that information to the agenda view before exporting it. For this you need to set the variable `org-agenda-add-entry-text-maxlines' to a number greater than 0. (setq org-agenda-add-entry-text-maxlines 20) Or you can do this with the settings in a custom agenda view, for example (A agenda ((org-agenda-ndays 1) (org-agenda-add-entry-text-maxlines 5)) (agenda-today.pdf)) Improved ASCII export of links === ASCII export of links works now much better. If a link has a link and a description part which are different, then the description will remain in the text while the link part will be moved to the end of the current section, before the next heading, as a footnote-like construct. Configure the variable `org-export-ascii-links-to-notes' if you prefer the links to be shown in the text. In this case, Org will make an attempt to wrap the line which may have become significantly longer by showing the link. Thanks to Samuel Wales for pointing out the bad state of ASCII link export. Custom agenda commands can specify a filter preset === If a custom agenda command specifies a value for `org-agenda-filter-preset' in its options, the initial view of the agenda will be filterd by the specified tags. Applying a filter with `/' will then always add to that preset filter, clearing the filter with `/ /' will set it back to the preset. Here is an example of a custom agenda view that will display the agenda, but hide all entries with tags `FLUFF' or `BLUFF': (A agenda ((org-agenda-filter-preset '(-FLUFF -BLUFF This is in response to a [thread on the mailing list], started by Daniel Clemente and with great contributions by Bernt Hansen and Matt Lundin. [thread on the mailing list]: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/11752 Exporting of citations to LaTeX and HTML, using BibTeX === Citations can now me made using BibTeX, and will be exported to LaTeX and HTML. This is implemented in a contributed package by Taru Karttunen, /org-exp-bibtex.el/. Kudos to Taru for this really nice addition. org-collector.el is now a contributed package == /org-collector.el/ provides functions to create tables by collecting and processing properties from entries in a specific scope like the current tree or file, or even from all agenda files.
[Orgmode] Feature request: IDs on anything
Now seems like an ideal time to post this. I have been thinking that it would be useful to be able to slap org IDs on anything. This includes plain list items, table cells, and specific words in long sections of text.[1] Links to these markers will never be broken and will go to their exact locations. I am calling them =ID markers=. The syntax looks like this.[2] $[id B7423F4D-2E8A-471B-8810-C40F074717E9] Here is an example: - this is a plain list - example $[id B7423F4D-2E8A-471B-8810-C40F074717E9] - the above can safely be linked to You can label markers to make them prettier: $[id B7423F4D-2E8A-471B-8810-C40F074717E9 :label foo] this is a marker labeled foo (similarly to how links are labeled). $[id B7423F4D-2E8A-471B-8810-C40F074717E9 :label ] now the marker is invisible unless you set links to be visible or go to and edit the marker.[3] A key aspect of this feature is that it is extensible[2] in various[4] ways. I have more notes, including applications, but also want to gauge interest in the basic idea. Is this appealing? Footnotes: [1] This might also work for Charles Cave's thread, My Python solution [...], which seeks IDs or the equivalent in headlines. ID markers should work in non-org files (provided that org is told about their existence via a user variable). Thus, you can safely link to source code. [2] This syntax is motivated in a thread on the org mailing list ( [http://www.google.com/search?num=100hl=enie=UTF-8oe=UTF-8q=%22extensible+syntax%22+%22parsing+risk%22+%22samuel+wales%22btnG=Search] ) named extensible syntax. Some benefits: 1. You can add /new/ org features. - This is done by reserving a new first element. - For example, the keyword for the ID marker feature is id. - If you want to add a new org feature for, say, changing the color of a region of text, you would use the keyword color. - You can do this with no new lexing code or syntax debugging. 2. You can extend /existing/ features. - This is done with a keyword argument (plist key). - For example, ID markers accept a :label keyword. - To make the label be different in the exported text, the key would be :export-label. - To turn an ID marker into a link, the key would be :link and its argument would be the link itself. - I will motivate this and its applications in another thread. It enables the user to create arbitrary graph-theoretic structures, including bidirectional links and tours through a table, by pointing ID markers to one another. More later. - No new lexing code or syntax debugging is necessary. A bonus: in principle, the facility can be opened up to the users, who can then experiment with new features in their .emacs files (without modifying org code) then spring them on the rest of us. :) However, this is not essential to the idea. [3] I am not sure, but it is possible that running M-x visible-mode would also work. Or perhaps a standard org command could do it. [4] For example, to make the label be different in the exported text, it could look like this: $[id B7423F4D-2E8A-471B-8810-C40F074717E9 :label foo :export-label bar] the exported version is labeled bar, while your source is still nicely labeled foo. $[id B7423F4D-2E8A-471B-8810-C40F074717E9 :label foo :export-label ] now it is invisible when exported. but it can still be pointed to. Or to make it easy to remember ID markers with a short number: $[id B7423F4D-2E8A-471B-8810-C40F074717E9 :label :file-unique] this is a marker labeled with a small, automatically generated number that is only guaranteed to be unique for the current file. My point in this footnote isn't that these are needed subfeatures, but that with extensible syntax we can do this kind of thing. -- Myalgic encephalomyelitis denialism is causing death (decades early; Jason et al. 2006) and severe suffering (worse than nearly all other diseases studied; e.g. Schweitzer et al. 1995) and *grossly* corrupting science. http://www.meactionuk.org.uk/What_Is_ME_What_Is_CFS.htm ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
