[O] org-list-indent-offset only works partially
Hello, from Debian bug #645214 (http://bugs.debian.org/645214): org-mode doesn't seems to honour correctly the org-list-indent-offset variable (a recent addition). See the following steps: 1- Run emacs -q 2- M-x org-mode 3- M-x set-variable org-list-indent-offset 8 4- open /tmp/t.org 5- Write the following - item 1 [TAB]- item 2 When you press [TAB], - item 2 is indented only two spaces right, not 8 as org-list-indent-offset describes, thats seems to be a bug. But now, if over the item 2 line you do 6- M-left 7- M-right The - item 2 will be correctly indented 8 spaces to the right. So org-list-indent-offset is correctly working in this case.

Re: [O] Wish: babel for python3
Hi, (sorry Arne for the eventual double post, I forogot to attt the mailing list) Is there a way to get python3 support for Babel into org-mode cleanly? Something like: -*- org-babel-python-command: python3 alternatively (a trick Eric is never tired to mention to me ) you could add a little lisp block which change all kind of language related aspects for you. This could include many more options and modify your emacs environment just to your personal needs for a certain language. Make one for python2 and one for python3 and execute them dependent on which system you are going to use. Without testing and without guarantee it should be something like the below code. To demonstrate some more functionality lets change the modebar background colour to make it more visible which python mode you are currently using. #+srcname: python2_env #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq org-babel-python-command python) (set-face-background 'modeline #4477aa) #+end_src #+srcname: python3_env #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq org-babel-python-command python3) (set-face-background 'modeline #771944) #+end_src Sure both could be done with file bounded variables too. But know you can switch between both environments within the same buffer, e.g., to check if the code runs on both python versions Regards Totti

Re: [O] org-odt: turning off section numbering does not work
Hello Christian Christian Moe m...@christianmoe.com writes: That probably explains it, then. But, uh, can I borrow this thread for a moment? I find custom styles in ODT export aren't working as per the manual, section 12.8.2. Here's what I've done (test files attached; Emacs 23.3.1; Org 7.7, freshly pulled): 1. Exported test-odt.org to ODT with default settings. 2. In OpenOffice: Changed the Heading 1 style in the exported ODT document to red, then saved it as styles.odt. When you are generating such a custom styles file for templating purposes, it is highly desirable that H:10 num:t be option used. This is because the Org's odt exporter expects that the default styles file has outline numbering turned on for all levels (Number 10 above being the max outline levels in styles.xml) If this assumption is violated - ie if the template file is generated with num:nil (which is the case with the styles file circulated by you) - then subsequently changing the #+OPTIONS: num:t will continue to produce the unnumbered headings contrary to the expectations. I believe the above restriction is not overly restrictive. 3. Pointed org-export-odt-styles-file to styles.odt. 4. Exported test-odt.org to test-odt.odt. Result: no headings at all -- everything's in the Default style. This is how I understand the manual, and the thread I referenced before, and I remember having tested it before at some point when it worked perfectly, so I'm rubbing my eyes and wondering if it's just me.

I believe the issue has something to do with how ESS sends inputs to R and waits for command prompts from R. When the lines are pasted into an ESS buffer one at a time the problem does not occur, however when the lines are pasted into ESS all at once (without pressing enter between lines) the ESS comint buffer hangs. One option could be to explicitly call `inferior-ess-send-input' between every line of R code, but I'm loath to touch the comint interface as small changes like this can sometimes have unpredictable effects.

Re: [O] [test] Mark tests with missing dependencies as expected to fail
David Maus dm...@ictsoc.de writes: Hi all, Currently tests with missing dependency are silently skipped -- it might be worth changing this behavior to not skip them, but mark them as expected to fail. You can do this in ERT by placing the keyword :expected-result followed by either :passed or :failed before the test's body. Benefit of this is that the tests w/ missing dependencies will show up in the ERT result page (with a small letter f) but (obviously) don't count as failures. The following macro is a first shot at a convenient way to define tests with dependencies: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defmacro org-test-deftest-with-dependency (dependency rest body) (let* ((docstring (if (stringp (third body)) (list (third body (deftest (nthcdr (if docstring 3 2) body)) (dependency-p (eval dependency))) `(ert-deftest ,@(append (list (first body) (second body)) docstring) ,@(if dependency-p '(:expected-result :passed) '(:expected-result :failed (error Missing dependency))) ,@deftest))) #+end_src Here DEPENDENCY is a simple form that evaluates to non-nil if the dependency is met. If marking the tests this way is the agreed way to go we can extend the syntax of a dependency to an alist with a human-readable description of the dependency as key and a list of forms that all must eval to non-nil as value. E.g. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defvar test-ob-R-dependencies '((R executable (org-test-for-executable R)) (Package ESS (featurep 'ess #+end_src And change the expander code to map through this alist and as soon one dependency evals to nil sets a variable `dependency-missing' to the respective dependency. Any comments on this? Hi David, I agree it would be preferable to note that not all tests are run when dependencies are missing, although I don't think it is extremely important. I think some version of the above would be worthwhile if it could be done in a file-wide manner (as are the current dependency checks) and wouldn't require duplicating the dependency check or changing every test form individually. Perhaps a file-local-variable could be used to expect failures for every form defined in the file? Cheers -- Eric -- Eric Schulte http://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte/

Hi all, There is a major issue with org-indent-mode under org-mode 7.7 (downloaded today with Emacs PPM, dated 2011-10-18) and Emacs 23.2. When org-startup-indented is set to t, on opening any .org file the cursor immediately jumps to the end of file, and it is impossible to move it from there. Same happens if it is set to nil and I turn org-indent- mode on manually. It does seem to work under Emacs 23.3 though. A sample .emacs file (in its entirety) is below: (setq load-path (cons ~/elisp load-path)) (require 'package) (package-initialize) ; causes major trouble... Investigate!

Re: [O] Recurring events with exceptions
(and (your-sexp-here) (not (except-dates-here))) Pardon a slightly off-topic rant. I have yet to find calendar software (org included) that handles repeating appointments with the kind of flexibility that would make them really useful. First, typical real-world repeating appointments do not follow a rigid pattern such as visit the gym every monday from 7pm to 9pm. I know that I will not be following that pattern 50 years from now. But the default repeat pattern in most software does not include an end date. Infinitely repeating appointments are just stupid. Second, the whole concept of an exception to a repeating appointment is broken. It presumes that the pattern is the norm and the exception is, well, exceptional. None of my weekly meetings actually meets every week in a given year. The code above illustrates the problem. What if I just want to move one instance by a half-hour? The difference between deleting an instance and changing or adding an instance is hard to capture when basing everything off of a rigid pattern. In my opinion, a better framework for dealing with repeating appointments would be to view them as a list of individual instances that can be managed as a collection. When creating a repeating appointment, the user should be able to generate a list that follows some pattern (e.g. every monday at 7pm), with a mandatory end date. The user should also be able to easily add or subtract arbitrary instances to or from the list. Actions can be performed on all instances in a collection or on individual instances. The collection of instances could be defined by a shared UID or tag. But each instance should be flexible enough to have its own title, date, time, duration, invitee list, location, etc. It should also be possible to separate (or copy) individual instances from the repeat collection. Using arbitrarily complex sexp functions to achieve reasonably flexible repeating appointments seems like overkill when a properly structured and managed list can accomplish the desired effect. Of course the devil is in the implementation details.

And when you move (this week's meeting is 30 minutes later) or delete some occurence (no meeting on christmas), it will add that as an exception to the re-occuring event definition and clone that as a new once-only event in case of a move (probably keeping some connection with it). [But I think there's no concept of re-occuring exceptions, like there will never be any meetings at Christmas...] That said, this is pretty complex and the apps I've used before org-mode (KOrganizer, Evolution) managed to mess things up in certain cases without even being visible to me at first.

Re: [O] org-odt: specifying fonts
Hi, Mehul, cc: Jambunathan, I agree with Mehul it would be great to have an option to specify a styles file on a per-file basis. Something like: #+ODT_STYLE: ~/org/odt-templates/cv.odt Jambunathan, please consider this a feature request (if you haven't implemented it already, and I've missed it as usual...) Many users will want to use different styles files for different kinds of document (e.g. report.odt, cv.odt). Customizing org-export-odt-styles-file every time they've got a different kind of document to export does not seem the best way. There should be a way for each Org file to remember what ODT style it wants, parallel to the options that exist for html (#+STYLE) and latex (#+LATEX_HEADER). As for specifying fonts, etc., in ODT export, that's definitely something that should be done through the choice of an external style template. The org-odt exporter has done its job if everything you could reasonably want to style is exported in a named paragraph or character style that you can apply a template to. Yours, Christian PS. Mehul, I do have a stopgap solution for specifying the style template on a per-file basis.

[O] A more universal markup for exporters with italics/quotes?
In reading the recent request to specify fonts for ODT, I was reminded
of a recent problem I had. I'm writing a longer-ish document (ended up
at about 15 pages) and am primarily typesetting with LaTeX to PDF. In
sending it to others for feedback, however, they wanted something
editable for comments, so I used the ODT exporter for the first time.
Two things didn't work so well:
- italics: org doesn't handle multiple line italics in between / and
/. Thus, I use \emph{}. These didn't work with the odt exporter (nor
would they with other exporters).
- quotes: I like to indent and do interesting things with quotes. My
current preference is something like so:
#+begin_org
\begin{tabular}{p{0.5cm}p{0.85\textwidth}}
\emph{here is my long quote...} \\
\end{tabular}
#+end_org
That also doesn't work with export to other formats.
Could there be something like #+begin_quote or some other more
universal indicator of italics (or other text modifiers like bold or
underline) that would work more universally? I'm thinking:
-- LaTeX: be able to specify style for quote or just use
\begin{quote}, org italic markup - \emph{}
-- html: quote - blockquote/blockquote, italics - i/i
-- odt: quote - indented block?, italics - italics
-- others?
Just some thoughts.

Re: [O] org-list-indent-offset only works partially
Hello, Sébastien Delafond sdelaf...@gmail.com writes: from Debian bug #645214 (http://bugs.debian.org/645214): org-mode doesn't seems to honour correctly the org-list-indent-offset variable (a recent addition). See the following steps: 1- Run emacs -q 2- M-x org-mode 3- M-x set-variable org-list-indent-offset 8 4- open /tmp/t.org 5- Write the following - item 1 [TAB]- item 2 When you press [TAB], - item 2 is indented only two spaces right, not 8 as org-list-indent-offset describes, thats seems to be a bug. But now, if over the item 2 line you do 6- M-left 7- M-right The - item 2 will be correctly indented 8 spaces to the right. So org-list-indent-offset is correctly working in this case. There is no bug here. The important thing to notice is that you are using TAB before inserting the second bullet. Org understands that you want to indent the current empty line into the current item (how could it tell you're going to add an item?). If you want to trigger `org-list-indent-offset' correctly, first insert the bullet, then tabulate. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
Re: [O] org-odt: specifying fonts
Christian, Thanks for the stopgap measure. As for fonts, like styles, it would be easier, simpler and more elegant to be able to do that without having to edit styles.odt every time. This is not specific to org-odt. It should be, at least I think so for now, to do this with any exporting backend. If you send me a styles.odt, and I do not like the fonts you are using, it becomes cumbersome to be editing the styles.odt for each font and making sure to change it in all possible places until I settle on a proper font I want to use. If I could instead specify the font in org file itself, it would be a matter of changing the header and re-generating the file. The ODT_STYLE is certainly a good enhancement. On Tue, Oct 18, 2011 at 16:04, Christian Moe m...@christianmoe.com wrote: Hi, Mehul, cc: Jambunathan, I agree with Mehul it would be great to have an option to specify a styles file on a per-file basis. Something like: #+ODT_STYLE: ~/org/odt-templates/cv.odt Jambunathan, please consider this a feature request (if you haven't implemented it already, and I've missed it as usual...) Many users will want to use different styles files for different kinds of document (e.g. report.odt, cv.odt). Customizing org-export-odt-styles-file every time they've got a different kind of document to export does not seem the best way. There should be a way for each Org file to remember what ODT style it wants, parallel to the options that exist for html (#+STYLE) and latex (#+LATEX_HEADER). As for specifying fonts, etc., in ODT export, that's definitely something that should be done through the choice of an external style template. The org-odt exporter has done its job if everything you could reasonably want to style is exported in a named paragraph or character style that you can apply a template to. Yours, Christian PS. Mehul, I do have a stopgap solution for specifying the style template on a per-file basis. Place this somewhere in your Org document (e.g. before the first heading), and replace /path/to/template.odt with the path to your styles file. #+begin_src emacs-lisp :results silent :exports results (setq org-export-odt-styles-file /path/to/template.odt) #+end_src On 10/18/11 6:32 PM, Mehul Sanghvi wrote: This may not be specific to org-odt, but maybe applies to Org itself.

Do I have to do that through styles.odt ? If so, is there a specific OPTION for specifying the style file to use ? That would be a nice enhancement if it is not already there. I may want to use different styles/fonts, etc. and probably do not want to play around with the styles.odt file each time I make changes to the styles.odt file. -- Mehul N.

Re: [O] Problem with org-startup-indented
Hello, Andrei Jirnyi a-jir...@northwestern.edu writes: There is a major issue with org-indent-mode under org-mode 7.7 (downloaded today with Emacs PPM, dated 2011-10-18) and Emacs 23.2. When org-startup-indented is set to t, on opening any .org file the cursor immediately jumps to the end of file, and it is impossible to move it from there. Same happens if it is set to nil and I turn org-indent- mode on manually. It does seem to work under Emacs 23.3 though. Unfortunately, I'm not running 23.2. A backtrace produced with toggle-debug-on-quit and C-g may be helpful though. Could you provide one? Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou

Re: [O] Recurring events with exceptions
,[ C-h f org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift RET ] I find that this exactly what you are describing: I define an entry, clone it (with weekly shift, for instance) and then delete the exceptions and maybe add a few extras. If any weekly instance has to change, I simply change it! Works pretty well and handles all the cases you mentioned. There is one important feature lacking in the use of time-shifted clones as a way to generate repeating events: there is nothing to bind individual instances into a collection. A common EVENTID property would allow for the development of tools for handling a whole series as a group to do things like deleting, shifting, and making other changes en masse. It seems like a simple thing to add. Flexibility like this is why I like working in org. I would move my calendar to org if I were not stuck with outlook/exchange at work. I'm still waiting for someone to create the ultimate org/exchange sync solution.
