A very minor two cents… I think this springs much earlier typographical conventions: the grammatical dash is sometimes represented by an en-dash with spaces on either side, and sometimes by an em-dash with no spaces. Perhaps a US/UK thing? But I don't think that anyone uses an em-dash with spaces on either side, and I think the convention of two ASCII dashes standing for an en-dash (and three for em-) probably still makes the most sense…

Quite right. Of course, some conventions -- this one included (or--arguably uglier but many favor it--this one) -- began before Unicode.

Re: [O] emdash and endash
Interesting. However, unlike Org, Latex is not commonly exported to ASCII, commonly copied without exporting to ASCII, commonly used as an organizing system with ASCII pasted in, or multitargeted to ASCII (by copying and export) and other formats, is it? Or is it? (Asking, not rhetorical.)
Re: [O] emdash and endash
For what its worth, "--" is an endash in LaTeX as well.

[O] emdash and endash
1 dash: - 2 -- 3 --- 1 dash: - 2 – 3 — When I write in ASCII, I notate emdash like "--". I think this is standard. But in HTML export, that is an endash. I never use "---" in ASCII. Is there a way to make "--" export as emdash in order to be consistent with ASCII? I wonder if we could control this with a variable. Perhaps with the variable set, \-- can be an endash and -- can be an emdash, or something like that. Thanks.

Re: [O] Using orgmode to take "inline notes" for research

I agree on the cool not being cool. However, I do wonder why you would
want to use /ordinary/ footnotes rather than something easily removable
such as fixmenotes, e.g. \fxnote[footnote]. The great thing is they are
removed in the `final' print (i.e. when `draft' is not specified).

I use the following for empty lines. It is quite easy to adopt it
document wide and probably even inside certain environments.
\newcommand*{\tomlinje}[0]{\\[\baselineskip] \setlength{\parskip}{0pt}}
I didn't get whether you are asking for footnotes specifically, but if
this is the case you might be able to play around with
\setlength{\footparindent}{} and friends?

Re: [O] HTML export > Resizing an activated inline image
Just to say, I also am interested in how you would do this. There are probably more attributes that I would like to add to the image (like size and alignment for instance) than there are attributes I would like to add to the link.

[O] [OT] Pomodoro for emacs
Hi list, I use Pomodoro to help keeping me focused, and right now I use Focus Booster on OSX. However, I just found http://kanis.fr/hg/lisp/ivan/pomodoro.el, which might be a good addition to the emacs PIM arsenal, haven't tried it yet, but wanted to spread the word :) Cheers, Marcelo.

[O] possible table tutorial error
Hello I was looking at the table tutorial [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/tables.html][here]], and some information conflicted with my Org setup. It says "When columns are narrowed, it might be useful to temporary see the content of a cell with C-c ..." I couldn't get it to work with this combination, but C-u worked for me. I wasn't sure how else to report/fix this. Thanks Chris Beard ps- for the sake of strict grammar, it should also probably say "temporarily" instead of "temporary"

SSIA. I'm sure this is answered in an obvious place, but I couldn't find it. Quoting so I'd get correct export rendering would be sufficient. -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
