[O] Push a dependent TODO item on top of a depending one
It just occurred to me to try to implement a method of pushing a TODO item on top of another, in the manner of a Stack. The item on top of the stack is a task upon which performance of some other task depends. I need to call someone, so I have a task that appears on my agenda, to call him. However, I have just discovered that the phone number I have for this person is not working. I new need to find his phone number, so I can write a new TODO task. It would be fantastic to be able to push a TODO on top of the dependant TODO, the task that is held up until one finds the phone number. Once I have found the number, and "pop" the number finding task off the agenda, the dependant task would appear as a high priority, active task. rendering the TODO to CALL invisible, perhaps as a subtask, I think there are many ways to do this. Is it a nightmare to implement in the fashion I have suggested? Is it already easy to do? The crux of the matter is a dependent TODO is rendered invisible until some subtask TODO is completed. Thank you for all the ideas, Alan Davis

I don't think it's a regression - at least I could only find two commits
that touched the relevant code (lines 1397-1405 in org-latex.el) and
they are from 2008 and 2009.
Also the latex syntax is
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
and an example in the beamer section of the manual
(info "(org) Beamer class export")
makes me believe that the expectation is that you'll enter
#+LATEX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [a4paper]
including the square brackets.

Historically, I believe the latex exporter was the first one and in those days, each exporter blazed its own trail, so inevitably we have a divergence of behavior. The new exporters based on Nicolas's org-element parser will presumably behave a lot more consistently. In the meantime, you can always override the latex behavior with something like #+ATTR_LaTeX: align=|r|r|l|r|l|r| to set the alignment of each column explicitly without affecting the HTML output.

[O] Percent justification in Beamer tables
Hi, Org people. When, in an Org table, a column is made up of numbers, each of which is immediately followed by a percent sign, table formatting within Emacs right adjusts such numbers in their column, which is nice. Moreover, if I publish such tables as HTML, numbers are right adjusted as well. However, the same table inserted in a Beamer presentation shows the number /left/ justified in their column, which is a formatting discrepancy, or at least not what I expected. Could the justification of percentages be made more uniform Org-wide? François

Can't you just do something like this on the top-level headline for the tree C-c C-k C-c C-f M-7 C-c C-p (where N=7 in this example) That puts the cursor on the 7th-last heading (hope that makes sense) It's not particularly short though... C-c C-k - show all siblings C-c C-f - go forward to next headline M-7 C-c C-p - go back to previous heading 7 times or maybe C-c C-f C-b C-c C-r You should be able to build a local interactive function that takes a prefix argument for N to get you where you want to be. You can also use M-3 S-TAB to open show level 3 tasks and then navigate the folded tree. HTH, Bernt

I know how to do this with tabs and cursor movement to walk down the tree opening headlines as needed. This requires more work and paying attention. I have not found a simple way to do this. Does one exist? R Horn

[O] Including Latex Files
Dear List, I have a question regarding the #+INCLUDE markup: Using babel, I ran into trouble with latex equations and I do not have the time to sort things out (unbalance #+begin_latex...). Therefore, I decided to use auctex and latex files to edit the calculation parts of my thesis. I know the "brute force" method of using \input etc. but I'd prefer to use the much better #+INCLUDE markup, because I can open the file using C-C '. Using #+INCLUDE: myfile.tex orgmode assumes the file is in org syntax. So I tried #+INCLUDE: myfile.tex latex and the files compiled fine but C-C ' does try to open a file called myfile.tex latex Is there any chance to include a tex file in orgmode in a way that it can be opened interactively by using #+INCLUDE: or -even better- defining a link?

Yes it is quite annoying.

[O] [bug] org-agenda-write does not handle date stamps without day of week
Hi! I verified the behavior below with the most current git version of Org-mode. Whenever I call my function to export the current agenda, it «converts» events that do have a beginning and end time to events that span the whole day (without begin and end times at all). ,[ my LISP command to export ] | (defun vk-export-agenda() | "Exports monthly Org-mode agenda to agenda.ics file" | (interactive) | (org-agenda-list nil nil 60) | (org-agenda-write "~/org/agenda.ics") | ) ` I traced down the problem to this: * <2012-03-05 Mon 08:00-09:00> works fine * <2012-03-05 Mon 8:00-9:00> works fine too * <2012-03-05 08:00-09:00> Wrong: ends up as full day event Unfortunately, I do have certain mechanisms that generate parts of my Org-mode files where I skip the day of the week. Org-mode in general is able to handle date stamps without day of week pretty well. But whenever I export it to ics (in order to send it to Google), I end up with a messed up online agenda. I guess that org-agenda-write is the one to blame. It would be very handy to me if somebody could fix that issue. Let me know, if you need any further information! Thank you very much! -- Karl Voit

[O] Beamer export - mille grazie!
You know, I had some hiccups when getting started with Beamer export (as could be expected when learning any substantial feature of pretty much any software), but now that I've got a halfway decent workflow going with it... I LOVE IT! This is saving me tons of time already, compared to: - Writing the slide content - Outline-formatting in open office impress - Re-outline-formatting in org (for my archive) - God-awful mouse-clicky formatting in impress - Failing to synchronize edits between the presentation and the org archive Mailing lists for software are full of complaints about things that aren't working or suggestions for improvement, so I wanted to take a minute to thank the people who worked on Beamer export for a spectacular tool (not to mention org in general -- my schedule is now complicated enough that I would be sunk without the calendar and to-do features).

Re: [O] babel, executing code in background process
Hello! The trick would be in setting up the post-execution code block handling > (namely results parsing and insertion) to run after external evaluation > has completed. I don't think this is a high priority necessarily. When executing e.g. gnuplot or octave source code blocks for the sake of plotting, I'm usually interested in runtime feedback more than collecting the text afterwards. When doing notebook-Style work, also something like : #+begin_src octave :session *foo* :results silent <> : <> : #+end_src : #+begin_src octave :session *foo* :results value <> :<> : #+end_src would be possible, though of course no convenient solution. My current solution for long-running octave scripts isn't any more convenient though: Define the task as functions and then switch to the session buffer manually and run those interactively. kind regards, Yu 2012/3/2 Eric Schulte > Erik Garrison writes: > > > Hi Eric, > > > > Thanks for the background.

[O] Lieterate Programming for configuration settings
Hello,
- 8< -
#+TITLE: Literate Programming for configuration settings
#+AUTHOR: Vladimir Lomov
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
* Literate Programming
I'm trying to use the Literate Programming to describe my set up of
Openbox and my workflow with Linux.
The main problem is with Openbox. I set up convenient (for me)
keybindings, like "W-x f k" to launch Krusader file manager, and now I
want to describe all my keybindings.
I see this as follow: from one source I get Org table (keybind and
description) and xml code (to be included into ~rc.xml~ using noweb).
At first, I thought about table in org file with three columns:
| Keybind | Code | Description |
|-+--+-|
but I don't know how to exclude second column in html export and how
to generate xml code excluding the third column.
So I decided to use plain txt files with the same information.
My question is: how to get table in html export and xml file with
code?
I wrote two shell scripts, first gives org table from txt file, the
second generates xml code from the same txt file, but can't figure out
how to use them with org.
(My next step would be to put both: plain txt file content and shell
script code into one org file, if my idea would work.)
** Example
Below is example of plain text file. I don't need ~example.txt~
except for shell script to generate org table and xml code, if it is
possible to get both without extracting text file it would be great.
#+name: example.txt
#+begin_src text :exports none :tangle example.txt
"Alt-F2"'gmrun'
"Run gmrun, very useful tool"
"Alt-F4"''"Close application window"
"Alt-F9"'' "Iconify to task bar"
"Alt-Tab" '' "Switch focus to next window"
"Alt-S-Tab" '' "Switch focus to
previous window"
"Alt-space" 'client-menu' "Show
application window menu"
#+end_src
This shell script used standalone gives correct org table. I also
don't need it except it generates org table.
#+name: txt2org-table
#+begin_src sh :exports none
#!/bin/bash
###
# Read a txt file and write to stdout it as Org table.
###
_data="$1"
###
# Each line has three fields: keystroke, xml code and description. For table
the 1 and 3 are needed.
###
echo "| Keybind | Description |"
echo "++--|"
while IFS=' ' read -r kb code descr
do
[[ ${kb} = \#* ]] && continue
echo "| ${kb//\"/~} | ${descr//\"} |"
done < "${_data}"
echo "++--|"
exit 0
#+end_src
** My real goal
Ideally I want to have a table (like <>) in org file, when
I export org file to html there must be table with "Keybind" and
"Description" and the same org file should generate ~rc.xml~ (I assume
it is possible to insert results of script run in place of <>).

Thanks in advance, Vladimir Lomov
P.S. Sorry if I description were to obscure.
P.P.S. Side note: why then 'tangled' example.txt the first line is empty one?
