Re: [Orgmode] Lesson Learned: Day needed for iCalendar export
Without the day, the timestamp is not valid according to Org, so it
just treats it as normal text, or possibly something else entirely.
The real lesson is no to type timestamps manually. Use C-c .

[Orgmode] [PATCH] Always insert heading after current
This is my first endeavor at contributing to open source, so bear with me :-) I created a variable called 'org-insert-heading-always-after-current' If it's not nil, and you press M-Return, a new heading is created under the current heading, ***even if you're on the first character of a heading*** I added it to the org-custom list, also. Here's the git commit (on GitHub) that has my changes (against the latest org-mode as of today). http://github.com/NathanNeff/org-mode/commit/ee2b727139db6530e8f5b7e076cf27368c3d3182 I followed the directions from here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.php I would like to apply the same behavior when inserting new list items. If you're on the first character of a list item, a new list item is still inserted above the list item. If anyone has a fix for this, let me know. For example, if you have: * Foo - List Item 1 - I want the new list item to go here, not above - List Item 1 Thanks, --Nate ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

But I was going in no time. There will be the moments of 'oh, had I known this four weeks before', but that happens whatever art you learn! So, drop bibtex and choose one of the utf-ready alternatives and you have a very capable set of tools to write your dissertation (and beyond)! (Luckily mine was done a while ago, but org-mode would have made my self-organisation so much easier! And org-babel ...)

I have done some level of debugging (I should have probably done it before, but I was not sure of what was going on) and I had realized that the problem is in using brackets [ ] in the text. Please find enclosed a simple file that will depict the issue. Hi Mario, Thanks for posting your example Org file. Now I am able to reproduce the problem and know where the bug is. Just as you said, the problem is caused by the last line that contains strings "double[9]" and "double[3][3]". Here "[9]" and "[3]" are considered footnote references (and I don't think this is what you wanted), so some code is executed to find the footnote definitions. The problem happens when the *second* "[3]" is being processed. Strictly speaking, the second "[3]" is NOT considered as a footnote reference according to ``org-footnote-re'' (see org-footnote.el), but some code in org-docbook.el and org-html.el does not use ``org-footnote-re'' and still treats it as a footnote reference. This inconsistency caused the problem you saw, and it is only visible in DocBook exporter. Before I try to fix the problem, I'd like to get Carsten's confirmation on the footnote reference syntax: whether the second "[3]", which immediately follows a character "]", should be treated as a footnote reference. To get around this problem, you can try changing the last line to something like: - =double[9]= was less efficient that =double[3][3]=, Hi Baoqiu and Mario, clearly, writing =double[3][3]= is the correct solution to this problem. As for the behavior of [3][3], this is not clearly defined. Neither the LaTeX nor the HTML exporter handle this case gracefully, as in producing meaningful output. Maybe the right thing would be to have them both treated as a footnote reference, but that would also require changes to org-footnote.el. These changes are not entirely trivial, as far as I can see now. So uness you are willing to dig into org-footnote.el to changes this, the easy solution would be to simply catch the problem we have now in the docbook exporter, so that it does not crash. - Carsten Please let me know if you have further questions.

Dear Baoqui, thanks a lot for the solution to the problem, it works. I learned a little bit more about org-mode today and I keep learning everyday how to best use such a great emacs mode.
