[O] Headline terminator with indentation on

It seems that org mode considers everything under a headline to be a subsection of that headline. So for example I have: -- EXAMPLE - * Great escape * Anyways * Help Blah blah blah Blah blah blah -- EXAMPLE - Which, when folded, is rendered as -- EXAMPLE - * Great escape * Anyways * Help... -- EXAMPLE - I would like it to look like this: -- EXAMPLE - * Great escape * Anyways * Help...

I am a graduate student in philosophy, and I am about to begin writing

Since others have added their bits, I'll just say I wrote my Master's
thesis in Physics last year with the then org-mode HEAD. I rather liked
the process and the end result[1]. Although I have to admit, I had to
hack around a bit because of buggy mandatory templates from my
university. Apart from that, everything was very smooth. If you are
interested, my org-mode setup is in a public repo[2]. However I haven't
had the time to make the org source for the thesis publicly available.
In case you are interested, I'm attaching some relevant bits. It has
examples on how to put in tables (with short and long captions),
figures, latex snippets and finally how I included a bibliography and
appendices.
Hope this will help.

* Introduction
** The Standard Model:SM:
\label{chap:SMintro}
The Standard Model is a quantum field theoretical approach to
describe interactions in nature. The theory is primarily built upon
symmetry arguments supported by experimental data. It describes the
interactions between all fermions mediated by vector gauge bosons.
These include the electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions.
The formulation of the SM does not include gravity. There are
various approaches to include gravity in BSM theories which are
discussed elsewhere \cite{ArkaniHamed:1998rs,Randall:1999ee}.
#+CAPTION: [Interactions and particles described by the SM.]{The
interactions and the participating particles described by the Standard Model
are tabulated below. Although the $Z^0$ is listed both as force carrier and a
particle interacting by the weak force, it should be noted it does not couple
with another $Z^0$.}
#+LABEL: tbl:interactions
|--+-++-|
| Charge | Force | Force carrier | Interacting particles

| Electric | Electromagnetic | \gamma | all charged fermions,

| Weak | Weak| \(W^\pm, Z^0\) | all fermions, \(W^\pm, Z^0\)
|
| Colour | Strong | \(g\) | all quarks, anti-quarks,
\(g\) |
|--+-++-|
In the SM all particles carry various charges which describe all
the interactions they undergo: the electric charge is responsible
for all electromagnetic interactions, the weak charge for all weak
interactions and the colour charge for all strong interactions.
Since any quantum fields have bosonic exchange particles, all the
interactions discussed earlier are associated with different spin-1
bosons as force carriers. This has been summarised in
\Tabref{tbl:interactions}.

So that is your goal. To exclude DONE items from the columnview I moved the Effort property out of the way to the Old_Effort property when the state changes to DONE: [function snipped] Unlike your example I made heavy use of inline tasks and also wanted heading numbers instead of asterisks, so that the final table looks like a table of contents with estimated times remaining. I had to do some more things to achieve this and can elaborate if you like. I finally spend some time to look at your answer, and give a feedback. First, I really thank you for your answer. It really is interesting to see how others tackle with the same (kind of) problem. You're welcome. It helps to justify the amount of time I spent on it if I can share it with someone else. Second, about your workaround. It does not satisfy me (renaming the property Effort to Old_Effort upon transition change to DONE)[1] because: - What happens if you reopen the task, clock some time on it, and close it? A new move of the property will occur, with a nil (hence, null?) value? Your Old_Effort will be overwritten? Yes something like that, the function I posted is not consistent or even reliable really. It was intended as a starting point. - My goal is to show, in a table, the progress made on all tasks (TODO, STRT, DONE), and moreover to compare spent time (CLOCK) vs estimated time (Effort). Hence, I need to have the effort property at all times[2]. Okay so your goal has changed and looks like it would be approximately double the work of what I needed. When you reopen a task presumably you would re-estimate the effort too which could lead to complications. You could may be consider never reopening a task and always starting a new one? Do you have, maybe, an alternative way for those? No, but if you look at the functions I sent originally and diff them against the org- functions mentioned in their descriptions then you will see what I had to change, which was not that much really, and maybe you can build on it. I would be interested to hear if you make something great with this. -- `--[ Myles ] -- `--[ Myles ]

Re: [O] Using Org for a dissertation
Hi Richard,
I recently have written my dissertation in orgmode.
I switched to latex for the final 4 weeks between the correction version
(completely written in orgmode) and the final version.
What I liked about org:
- Outlining functionality
- Synopsis drawers and view
- Markup
- Compiling subtrees
- noexport tag
- tagging
What I disliked/ preferred in auctex:
- missing footnote folding in stable version
- footnotes frequently lead to trouble with overlapping latex groups.
- missing/spare syntax highlighting
- reference handling in especial w.r.t headings (if you change the
heading you use the reference)
- debugging
- missing subfigure abilities
- compile time i.e. if you have much babel-snippets
- whitespace handling i.e. after e.g. \si{someunit} (you cannot place a
footnote at the place where it should be.
The main reasons to switch to auctex in the end for me has been the
much better debugging possibilities and the better reftex integration
(you have to fix quite a bit of wrong references in the final stage of
your work. Furthermore, I had to do some additional time consuming
debugging of the orgmode markup several times (most frequently related
to org-babel).
I would do it again but I'd switch to latex as soon as the basic
structure of the text is fixed.
Just my 2 cents.
Best Markus

In the best let's cure the symptom, not the disease manner, try changing the point-min to point-max in the definition of gtd. I meant to comment on the use of isearch-forward inside org-goto-local-search-headings. I'm not sure how it changes value (but it does), and I really don't understand why org-glsh uses it at all. The point is however that depending on the value of isearch-forward and where you start in the buffer (min or max), you will get the error if the variable is the wrong direction for your starting point. IOW, you probably don't want to use the org-glsh function: define your own that always goes in one direction (forward) and start at min. Usual disclaimers apply, Nick
[O] LaTeX templates?
Hey guys, Does anyone know where could I get beautiful LaTeX templates (i.e: beautiful layout + typography) I could use / modify to use with org? I'm not expecting anything free, I'm willing to pay. I'm about to publish an ebook, but the regular pdfs I managed to generate so far lack some life. What I could do is simplify my life and just use HTML+CSS to layout it (I could probably easily transform from org to markdown to HTML and then use CSS3 to style the hell out of it, and print to PDF, but I'm not sure how professional would it look in the PDF or if I ever print the book). Also I know @Avdi Grimm used org as a publishing system for his ebooks, Avdi, would you be willing to sell / share your org publishing infrastructure? Any insights appreciated! - Marcelo.

Thus, you should be able to take any of the above and redefine simple options since the meat remains the same (section titles are are section titles, indents are indents, etc.). Worg also discusses a bit how to tailor org-mode with custom class options: -- http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-latex-export.html Perhaps you're looking more for something like a custom class file you can just set via org-mode and use headers like chapters/sections and have it work. At the very least, looking around at some of the above might help give you ideas about the packages you would want to include in a custom export format. Hope that's slightly helpful? Best regards, John Any insights appreciated! - Marcelo.

Tom and Nicolas, Thanks! I will give the new exporter a shot when I have a chance and let you know how it goes. Best, Richard
Re: [O] Minimal overhead Org-mode blogging system
I like your indexing idea. I use a less-complex system involving symbolic links for my agenda files. Yours sounds better. This is what I use for my agendas: (setq org-agenda-files (list (expand-file-name ~/Documents/+OrgAgendas))) (defun org-add-agenda-file () (interactive) (make-symbolic-link (buffer-file-name) ~/Documents/+OrgAgendas)) It is just a quick-and-dirty solution. If I remove or move a file, I get errors. Also, if I stop using a file for agenda items I must manually unlink the symlink. Have you implemented your indexing system Jude or just designed it? I'd love to see it if you have something working. I imagine it could be used for todos, cross-referencing tags, properties, etc... And to prevent Carsten from yelling at me :-D, I would insist that, by default, Emacs would not create the cross-referencing database. You'd have to explicitly enable it.

If files to be modified get archived into org-mode's revision control system, the blog tag and associated done tag could be searched for within the save process and an org database could build with file name and then tripplets of date stamp, line number for blog tag, line number for done tag and each tripplet would hold another blog entry in that unique file which is the first field in the data base. So you want to find a blog entry? Search the org-generated data base for a date stamp and you come up with the file and the range of line numbers holding that blog entry. Search one file and go to specific location in second file. That if it's done or gets done will keep file searching to a nice minimum permanently.

I happen to really like the idea but I wonder about its performance. Unless I'm mistaken, and I very likely may be, won't you have to scan all of your .org files to look for the special tags/properties/todo states/whatever? If not, I'd love to have a pointer to how you can accomplish this without scanning every .org file. That would be cool. Jude jdashiel-at-shellworld-dot-net http://www.shellworld.net/~jdashiel/nj.html

Re: [O] Using Org for a dissertation
Hi Markus, Thanks for your advice. I figure that, like you, I may eventually need to switch to LaTeX, but will stick with Org for now, at least until my document structure is quite settled. Can you elaborate a bit on the following? Markus Grebenstein p...@mgrebenstein.de wrote: What I disliked/ preferred in auctex: - missing footnote folding in stable version Stable version of Org, or Auctex? What exactly is missing? - footnotes frequently lead to trouble with overlapping latex groups. What is a Latex group? How they could overlap? (I would especially like to be aware of potential footnote problems ahead of time.) - reference handling in especial w.r.t headings (if you change the heading you use the reference) Do you mean you prefer \label and \ref in Latex over Org's abstraction? Thanks! Best, Richard
