Re: [Orgmode] Question about tracking TODO state changes and M-S-ENTER
Fair enough. And you could further argue that M-S-Enter creates an initial state, so no "change" takes place. But then I'd say the fact that it records changing from nothing to TODO in the /first/ example is a bug. At the very least, it's inconsistent. The end result of those two operations really ought to be the same. The current behavior discourages me from using M-S-Enter because then I can't tell when I initially recorded the task, unlike in the first use case.

But trying to use Org relying on the Escape key as 'Meta', I discovered that Org's support in this regard is currently spotty. While for some key combinations both the [?\e (...)] and the [(meta ...)] variants are defined, it is only the [(meta ...)] definitions that are fully covered. For example, org-insert-todo-heading - one of the very first org-specific key-combinations introduced in the very useful Org tutorial - is mapped only to [(meta shift return)], the ESC-based equivalent [?\e (shift return)] is missing (org.el, line 13905). While I've tried to patch up org.el the best I could with the missing keymap definitions (and so far I have not run into problems), I am not proficient enough an elisp programmer to dare provide my fixes: e.g. I'm not at all sure to have made the correct additions to the section introduced with the comment ;; Special treatment needed for TAB and RET on line 6836 of org.el; the specification of disputed keys on line 331ff in org.el would be another example.

IT is how PHP is configured on your server. The easiest thing is to set the option short_open_tag to false (assuming you don't use the short ? ? tag syntax, and use the proper ?php ? syntax instead).

[Orgmode] Custom docbook stylesheets.
Greetings List, I was suprised an pleased to discover that the docbook exporter has the ability to apply the stylesheets to transform to fo and to also process that to pdf. Somehing I'd like to see is a document specific way to specify the stylesheet. I tried setting org-export-docbook-xslt-proc-command in a Local Variables: section, but it seems the variable is being used from a different buffer. So, what do you think about some kind of document property to overrride a global setting? The current org-export-docbook-xslt-proc-command is a format string, with a fixed order of arguments (the fo filename and then the input docbook filname). Thats probably good enough for most (all?) xslt processors, but things may be more limited when it comes to also specifying the stylesheet. Do we need to have some kind of special markers in the format string for where the different options go? Something like $i $o and $s (for in, out, and stysheet)? -Dale -- Dale P.
