[O] Org-special-blogs does not make well-formed xhtml
Hi, XHTML produced with Org-special-blocks is not well-formed; div tags get wrapped in p tags. Example: Some text. #+begin_sidebar Some details left out of the main text. Some more details. #+end_sidebar Some more text. This results in the following html, which causes XML processors to fail. p div class=sidebar Some details left out of the main text. /p p Some more details. /div /p p Some more text. /p/div The problem seems to be fixed by un-commenting the fifth line in the below function in org-special-blocks.el: (defun org-special-blocks-convert-html-special-cookies () Converts the special cookies into div blocks. ;; Uses the dynamically-bound variable `line'. (when (string-match ^ORG-\\(.*\\)-\\(START\\|END\\)$ line) ;(org-close-par-maybe) (message %s (match-string 1)) (if (equal (match-string 2 line) START) (insert div class=\ (match-string 1 line) \\n) (insert /div\n)) (throw 'nextline nil))) Does anyone know if that was commented out for a reason?

There's a completely separate wad of code in org-list that handles checkbox statistics. So naturally, there's a hook, which I added my TODO-DONE function to: (add-hook 'org-checkbox-statistics-hook 'dwa/org-summary-todo) But `org-checkbox-statistics-hook' is a list of nullary functions, so of course this broke since my function expects N-DONE and N-NOT-DONE. I looked around for an easy way to determine N-DONE and N-NOT-DONE but it doesn't seem to exist; it's buried in the logic of org-update-checkbox-count... I think. What I need is a hook that acts like org-after-todo-statistics-hook, but for checkboxes. You just have to search for [ ] or [-] in the current section. If there is none, and there is at least one [X], you can mark your task as done. Silly me; I was looking for a programmatic interface that would handle things at a level of abstraction above pattern matching in text. But given the number of similar-looking regexps I see scattered through the Org code I'm guessing that's just not the way things are done. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

One comment on the last version of the patch: would it not be better for the variable to be a defcustom variable instead of defvar? I agree - being able to customize variables without resorting to lisp is generally preferable: it is friendlier to newcomers and it allows even experienced users to find the various knobs. If the patch is deemed acceptable, it might also be nice to be able to set the variable per-file through the OPTIONS line, but that can certainly wait. Otherwise, the patch looks fine to me although I'm unlikely to use the new functionality ;-) Unless you try to publish an article in a journal with a perverse layout policy :-) I applied the patch and took it for a short spin. git complained about trailing whitespace: , | /home/nick/Mail/inbox/1021:197: trailing whitespace. | (if (and floatp org-export-latex-table-caption-above) | /home/nick/Mail/inbox/1021:212: trailing whitespace. | (if (and floatp (not org-export-latex-table-caption-above)) | /home/nick/Mail/inbox/1021:225: trailing whitespace. | (if (not org-export-latex-table-caption-above) tbl) | /home/nick/Mail/inbox/1021:231: trailing whitespace. | (if org-export-latex-table-caption-above tbl) | warning: 4 lines add whitespace errors. ` but other than that the patch worked fine.

[O] Bug: Invalid refile target [7.7 (release_7.7.370.g8e44ba)]
Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See
http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback
Your bug report will be posted to the Org-mode mailing list.
Today I was trying to refile an agenda item. Ido gave me many completions
to work with including the following:
Boost Libraries
Boost Libraries (todo.txt)
I've seen lots of duplicates over the past couple of weeks, and always
wondered why I was getting them. I still don't know. These, though,
aren't exact duplicates. When I try to refile into the first one, I
get:
org-refile-get-location: Invalid target location
Now, interestingly, after refiling successfully into the second one, I
can't get the duplication to show up anymore, for any item I might
choose to refile. So, sorry, no backtrace.

Re: [O] Recursive org-agenda-files
Hi Neilen, I think you want these in your .emacs (from http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html, Can I add files recursively to my list of agenda files?): (load-library find-lisp) (setq org-agenda-files (find-lisp-find-files ~/org \.org$)) Or you can add each project directory to org-agenda-files yourself, however, this is not recursive, it only adds .org files under the project directories, not their sub-directories (see docstring of org-agenda-files: C-h v org-agenda-files): (setq org-agenda-files '(~/org/projA ~/org/projB ~/org/projC)) In my setup, I also use the following to exclude directory exc from the list: (eval-when-compile (require 'cl)) (setq org-agenda-files (remove-if '(lambda (x) (string-match (concat ^ (regexp-quote (expand-file-name ~/org/exc/))) x)) org-agenda-files)) Net On Mon, Oct 3, 2011 at 8:48 AM, Neilen Marais nmar...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I like to have a directory per project, with an .org file in each directory.

This makes them a poor tool to communicate with End-Users. But this might be acceptable, because there's no hood on the engine, and the bloody thing is steered with a rudder and laterals, instead of the nice sane wheel and pedals everyone else uses. :) - Allen S.

File structure and letting other people be you assistant I agree that Org-mode will not be easy for an assistant to open up in you absence, if that assistant is not trained in Emacs/Org-mode.

This made me think, although not exactly what James is expecting but it might be possible to package a minimal Emacs distribution with the latest stable org-mode included as an alternate download. It could supply some skeleton files which would be used as default customisations and extended as the user grows in lisp proficiency. Pretty much the same as `emacs -Q -l minimal-org.el'. This could be offered as a download on the home page for non-techie users. I would expect having a download only for Windows and OS X should suffice since Linux users already have Emacs (with some version of org-mode) from their respective repositories.
