[Orgmode] Delimiting TeX-fragments
Hello, in a software documentation we want to refer to menu entries like this: [menu][arrow right][menu entry] no spaces between the text and the arrow. (usually, we would use a syntax like "menu:menu entry" but this is interpreted by org as an internal link?) We find that: (1) File\rarrOpen does not work: \rarr is not recognized (2) File\rarr Open leaves a blank space before the "Open" (3) Datei\rarrÖffnen works as expected - but only if \rarr is followed by a special character like an Umlaut This leads to the more general question on how to deliminate a Tex- like fragment without "side effects". It is also important for inserting non-breaking space as (4) Do\nbsp Not\nbsp Break will not work because of the additional spaces (is there a better way to insert "nbsp"?). (5) \alpha\nbsp\beta does work as expected Many thanks in advance, Stefan -- Dr. Stefan Vollmar, Dipl.-Phys.

[Orgmode] Updating repeating time stamps
Hi, First of all: Many thanks for org-mode! There is a minor issue though that keeps buggin' me. I use a lot of repeating time stamps à la * TODO Something SCHEDULED: <2009-06-23 Tue .+3d> When I reschedule them by moving the cursor over it and hitting C-. the repeat information is lost (the .+3d).

For me, it works great because it is so easy to use as an outliner. I have also been using it to write papers. When I do this, I use it like a glorified LaTeX. The real advantage there is the ability to show and hide sections. The only disadvantage that I have found with the LaTeX export is that it is best to use \( and \) rather than $ to enter and exit math mode because org has some trouble parsing the $ across line breaks. But that is minor, and your fingers will get used to it if you use a lot of math. However, I still keep all my references in a separate database (I use the Zotero plugin for Firefox, which I export to bibtex). Hope that helps.

[Orgmode] Re: Orgmode for research information management
Hi Graham, Graham Smith writes: > I would be interested in any insights into how people use orgmode for > information management eg. gathering information for scientific paper. Org-mode is very well suited to this purpose. I like to think of org-mode as an outliner with the functionality of a database. Each outline heading/subheading is a node to which all sorts of metadata can be attached. Thus, notes can be as free-form or as structured as the project requires. The structure can emerge as the project progresses. When beginning a research project, I dump a lot of material into a new org file, making heavy use of org-remember and org-protocol. I tag items as they come in, so I know that I'll be able to find them easily later. I also create links to relevant files (pdfs, images, etc.). And any time I need to follow up on something, I create a todo. Indeed, todo state changes are immensely helpful for keeping track of what I've done so far. My citations are located in a bibtex database; org-mode is able to create links to individual items via org-store-link or org-remember. I make sure to add a link to every outline heading, whether it be to a website, a bibtex item, a file, or to some other node in the outline (via <> or ID properties). The beauty of org-mode is that I can organize my outline only when the need arises. Thanks to tags, searches, and sparse trees, I can easily find individual notes. And thanks to hyperlinks I can travel quickly to the source of the information. Anytime I need a more structured database, I create one within the outline by using properties and column views. Let's say I need to keep track of sources I've looked at an archive. I can easily create a mini-database for the archive. --8<---cut here---start->8--- * Some Archive :PROPERTIES: :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %10TIMESTAMP_IA %17collection %6doc-number %18author %25title %10origdate %TAGS :END: ** An old letter :industrialization:letters: :PROPERTIES: :collection: Personal Letters :doc-number: 768b :author: Michael Smithson :origdate: 1868 :title:Letter to brother :END: Some notes about the letter here... [2009-06-23 Tue 09:37] --8<---cut here---end--->8--- So an individual org outline can contain numerous custom databases! The possibilities are endless. And, of course, at any point I can export any part of the outline to pdf, html, ascii, etc. Hope this helps. - Matt ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Even if you have the wrong structure at the beginning, it's really easy to fix later. Re-organisation (moving headlines, for instance) is trivial *and* as org-mode has the full power of emacs and is text based, making global changes are just as trivial. It's this flexibility that encourages one to simply jump in and use it and the benefits then quickly make you wonder how you got along without it! ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] [ANN] org-icons.el
Hi all, a while ago, David mentionned that at least two people from the #org-mode IRC channel would be interested in having pretty icons in org-mode buffers. I have to confess I'm the second one :-) After a little experimentation, I ended up with the results shown in these screenshots [1] [2]. The code can be found on github [3]. Currently, it is not based on overlays, like David's linkd.el, but on display properties. It is still unclear which of the approach is the best, but as David offered his help and is by far more skilled in elisp than I, hopefully these kind of implementation details will be solved quickly and the code will become actually useable. As for the icons, I make them from scratch using Inkscape and the Tango [4] colour palette. So, what do you think ? Is this a direction you'd want org-mode to go ? Please, share your feedback & suggestions ! Also, I was thinking that putting such kind of screenshots in org-mode's website could make us gain a little more votes...

I followed the worg instructions ( http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.php ) for FF and tried the verification links with no luck. Firefox just screams at me "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (org-protocol) isn't associated with any program." 2. Any clue why this isn't working?

[Orgmode] indent list item and change list type automatically
Hi all, using org-mode for quite some time now I always look at operations (key sequences) I repeat a lot of times. A lot of times I start a list with an item and immediately indent the next item as subitem. From - item 1 - subitem 11 I go to - item 1 - subitem 11 via "M-right". Then I always want to change the style of the subitem list to "*". I do this via "S-right-right". I wonder how others work. I would like to automatically have changed the subitem list type to "*" as soon as I indent via "Alt-right". Next indentation should go back to "-". etc. Maybe we could introduce a variable that sets the order of standard list item types, in my case: "- * - * - * - *" as in - item 1 * subitem 11 - subitem 111 * subitem 111 ... very special I know but I try to reduce the keypressings as much as possible.

[Orgmode] Show tag or property in clock table?
Hi, I've looked throughout the documentation and can't find a way to print a property or tag in a clock table. What I'm looking for is something like this: Ticket # | Description | Time 400 | did something | 1:00| 401 | Total Time | 5:00 | 401 | did something else ||2:00 401 | did another thing||3:00 It seems like the default clock table report that you get in agenda-mode by pressing "R" is very close to what I'm looking for. The default clock table in the latest git version of org-mode looks like this: File | L | headline | Time | Sub-level time myfile.org | 1 | somethign | 1:00 | | If I can set some property on a sub-tree to perhaps replace "myfile.org" with some property or tag, I think that would work fine for what I'm trying to do. The report could still group/sum by top-level tree heading. Maybe I should just use "400" or "401" etc for my headlines, but they're not very informative, and really belong as meta-data. Any ideas?

i have just updated to a new machine, and i am having a new problem exporting to latex.. i am currently on: osx: 10.5.7 carbon emacs: GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.6.0, Carbon Version 1.6.0) org-mode: 6.27a this emacs came with a version 5.23a(i think that's what it was) installed. but i can't seem to find where it was.. when i try to export to latex, i get the following: Exporting to LaTeX... org-export-latex-first-lines: Symbol's function definition is void: org-cleaned-string-for-export Symbol's function definition is void: org-cleaned-string-for-export i saw a message from carsten earlier that said: this must mean that you are using an outdated version of org-export- latex.el with a new version of org-exp.el. You need to make sure that your complete installation is up to date. but i am not sure where else to check on this. any help would be appreciated.. thanks! ___ sergio t. ruiz network analyst red red design 419.281.8483 ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Graham Smith writes: > Strangely, when you are used to a more structured approach this makes > it difficult to start. I'd propose to start by partitioning _what_ you actually need to store on your disk. This is what I do: * The `org-directory' The default is ~/org/ and you could simply live with that default for a while. Changing that later on is easy, as long as most of the targets for your remember templates live there (the org-directory is search if just a filename is supplied for a certain template). Just `mv' the directory and adjust `org-directory'. So no need to worry here. The main purpose of the org-directory is to find files without hassle: * agenda files (I use an extra sub directory for those) * Remember targets I use pretty much the Org-modes defaults for fast note taking (remember) and agenda stuff. Also, it makes sense to store all agenda stuff and notes you want to keep below one directory for easy backup and restore, or synching with your notebook(s). *** Agenda files My org-directory has a subdirectory where I store all my agenda files, regardless of project. I have a file for each customer I work for over a longer period and a private `organizer.org'. Some of those files grew very big during the last two years, but that's absolutely no problem, neither for Org-mode, nor for me. But it makes it soo easy to find stuff again. I just press `C-c ,' repeatedly until the correct file is on screen. For each customer I created a remember template to record new tasks on the fly (e.g. phone calls). Some customers have a somewhat limited `lifetime' in my agenda (one project and that's it). Those agenda files are simply removed from the list of agenda files: `C-c ]' Short projects were the reason to leave all agenda files in the org-directory. I remove old projects from my file system from time to time (their all in my repo anyway). But I still can refer to the project plan if neccessary. *** General note taking As quick notes go to files in my org-directory, it's natural to have a file tree beneeth it, where I sort stuff away that is of more general nature - i.e. not related to special project or customer. Refiling is very easy, so it turns out that two or three files for such notes are sufficient in my case. After a while I file my quick notes away. For that purpos my org-directory has a sub-folder (a tree actually). That tree is for notes I want to keep locally. I publish those notes locally to HTML for browsing. The published content is awailable in our local network here. That's why I have that subtree. Particular private notes may still live in my org-directory. * Projects Here it comes: I use no special concept for Projects. That's the beauty of using emacs and Org-mode: They adjust to what you wanna do. Just keep the structure you're already working with. If you need to create a LaTeX file for your project, just start from an Org-file. Org-mode is with you if your an emacs user, so why worry? I found, that Org-mode does not really add any extras to my project directories. All that it changes is the way that stuff is added. No extra software that eats up my memory, makes me wait to start up, or drives my crazy. Links to source files I work on are sometimes stored next to the TODO entries in the agenda files. That way I can go the source file in question at a later date just by clicking a link. May the Emacs Org-mode be with you!

I've run into this twice too -- restarting Emacs made it magically go away for me.

Any clue why this isn't working? As for FF, the instructions should work. See also: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol#Linux_and_Mac As for Safari - I fear you use a MAC? You _must_ use a MAC. I know the windows version of Safari and you would change immediatly. I know it runs fine on MAC though.

[Orgmode] Refile error - Kill is not a (set of) trees
Hi all -- I am a noob - drawn to the alien world of Emacs (from my familiar Mac environment) by OrgMode. I am uncertain enough that I don't rightly know if this is best described as an OrgMode error or an Emacs error. Most likely a human error, I guess. I am using last night's Aquamacs build: GNU Emacs 23.0.94.1 (i386- apple-darwin9.7.0, NS apple-appkit-949.46) of 2009-06-23 on BRAEBURN.PSY.CMU.EDU - Aquamacs Distribution 2.0dev. Org-mode 6.21b. In OrgMode, I am trying to learn to refile tasks. I use C-c C-w on a TODO item in a notes file. It goes through the process of allowing me to select the destination for the item. But then it throws an error - "Kill is not a (set of) trees" etc - every time. Doesn't kill the TODO and obviously doesn't yank it to the new location.
