[O] git useage question
I wouldn't be writing this if the documentation were reasonable. Once org-mode gets cloned, how is git properly used to update the cloned instance on a machine?

Re: [O] git useage question
Compare that documentation with the documentation written for micro-emacs, that should give you an idea what I mean by reasonable documentation. Also, thanks for the faq pointers.

The following should be more than sufficient: - http://orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html#Installation - http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#Keeping-current In the *highly unlikely* case that it isn't: You're probably already aware of this (though this awareness may be temporarily impeded due to Saturday night related inebriation), but it's worth noting that Org-mode's documentation documents Org-mode. Org-mode != git, otherwise it would be called git instead of Org-mode, see? Kindly refer to some relevant (and extremely abundant) documentation: - http://git-scm.com/documentation Peace -- Pieter

1) so we understand each other.

[O] feature request: changing the way numeric priorities are calculated
As I understand org - at least as of v7.4, the numeric values of priorities as calculated in org-get-priority, are variable and based on multiplying things by 1000. I can understand why this is done this way, but it is a little restrictive. I would like to suggest that the numeric values of priorities be fixed between 0 and some value that can be user-defined, and that org-get-priority be tweaked to return a value between 0 and the max value, based on the range of priorities (i.e. from org-lowest-priority to org-highest-priority). So, for instance if you set the max numeric priority to 10, it wouldn't matter if you had 3 priority levels or 100, they'd all range between 0 and 10. In my case, I'm asking for this because I'm writing a user-defined comparator function that combines a number of features into a single measure of 'importance' (toodledo does something similar), and having the ability to essentially 'weight' the priority with respect to other values would be very useful. I'd try to do the changes myself, but I'm just not up to the task these days. Thoughts? Cheers. Fil Salustri -- \V/_ Filippo A. Salustri, Ph.D., P.Eng.

[O] [BUG] problem exporting example block to html
Exporting the following to html:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
* foo
#+begin_example
#+TITLE: foo
* One
One
* Two
Euler says:
#+begin_latex
\[
\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2} dx = {{\sqrt{\pi}} \over {2}}
\]
#+end_latex
#+end_example
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
deletes the latex section. The problem is that in
org-export-preprocess-string, by the time that we get to
org-export-select-backend-specific-text(), the example has been wrapped in
BEGIN_HTML/END_HTML and the begin_example/end_example have been translated
into /. org-export-select-backend-specific-text() then blindly
deletes the latex section since it does not "belong" to the html backend,
not realizing that it is part of a literal example.
There is also a bug in the latex backend: although the example, including
most of the latex section, is wrapped inside a verbatim environment,
the #+end_latex line has been eaten up - I haven't checked by whom.
