[O] my capture template generates a literal %?

2012-08-09 Thread G

Hi,

I am using Emacs 24.1 in Win7 (64bit) and Org 7.8.11.
I would like to have a capture template that just puts me at the end of 
my journal in plain text (although date tree) after a custom time stamp 
(e.g. 09:13). I tried the following
(p Plain Journal plain (file+datetree 
C:/Users/Geralb/Documents/privat/org/MyAgenda.org)

 %%H:%M\n\n%?
 :unnarrowed t :empty-lines 1)

But in this template a literal %? is written and point is thereafter.

I tried another template
(e Entry Journal entry (file+datetree 
C:/Users/Geralb/Documents/privat/org/MyAgenda.org)

 * Um %U von %a\n\n%?\n
 :empty-lines 1 :unnarrowed t)

And this seems to work, but it's not what I would like to have.

Did I write the template wrong?

From the author of recutils but abandoned. Elisp, like lbdb but uses vcard3

I still use abook.el to manage my contacts.

But the emacs mode to edit recfiles (rec-mode) is being improved a lot
lately, and soon it will provide a much better user interface than
abook, only more general.  That is why I am not working on abook.el any
further.

[O] Perhaps BUG: Proper quotes around math in new exporter

2012-08-09 Thread Rasmus
Hi,

I can't seem to get the new exporter to export proper quotes around
single element math symbols.  Here's a test-string:

  'x' '\(x\)' '$x$' `$x$' `\(x\)'  \(x\) x

(first and last are always correct)

With the old exporter they all turn out correctly:
   http://ompldr.org/vZjFrcw/screenshot-20120809%40124834.png

With the new exporter none of the math-version turns out correctly:
   http://ompldr.org/vZjFrdA/screenshot-20120809%40124247.png

I can of course correct by brute force by putting it in a #+latex line.
But is there some way to get the org-export.el to treat the above
example correctly?

[O] [GSoC] Org-sync v0.2

2012-08-09 Thread Aurélien Aptel
Hi all,

I'm releasing a new version of Org-sync, the tool to sync Org
documents with external bugtrackers/TODO-list system.

There are functional (although not complete) backends for:
- Github
- Bitbucket
- Redmine

And I'm currently working on Remember the Milk.
I've updated the installation procedure in the tutorial. It should be
easier now if it was bothering you before.
I've also made a short (~4mn) demo video covering the Bitbucket
backend and conflicts. On a side note, making this video was a painful
experience and I now realize the lack of good stable and free(dom)
video editing software on Linux.

D'oh^2: everything else is interpreted, so why not %? ?

The problem seems to be in org-capture-place-plain-text: the insertion
of the text happens like this

,
| ...
| (setq beg (point))
| (insert txt)
| (org-capture-empty-lines-after 1)
| (org-capture-position-for-last-stored beg)
| (setq end (point))
| (org-capture-mark-kill-region beg (1- end))
| (org-capture-narrow beg (1- end))
| (if (re-search-forward %\\? end t) (replace-match 
`

but it seesm that just before the re-search-forward, point is at
end, not at beg, so the search is fruitless. We could search backwards
to beg instead (but what is the semantics of multiple %? markers in the
template?), or we could just (goto-char beg) before the search.

[O] Using org-mode as day planner

2012-08-09 Thread Jack Erwin
Hello,

I am in the process of trying out org-mode after a long stint with
planner.el.  The most obvious difference here is that planner.el uses
day pages that keep a running list of tasks versus the more dynamic
nature of org which collects them from a set of arbitrary .org files. 
While I like the org approach quite a bit, I still miss having a place
to record the events and notes of the a day, for use in a weekly/monthly
review.

For this reason, I started using org-daypage.el, which can be found
here: https://github.com/almost/org-daypage.  Like the author, I ran
into the slowdown caused by loading hundreds of day pages in order to
create the agenda view.  I started playing with this a bit, and have
done the following:

1) Create a single page for each year or month (e.g. 2012.org)
2) When a new day page is requested, I create an enclosure in the month
page that looks like this:
#+BEGIN: daypage :day 2012-08-01
* Here are the items...
#+END: daypage
3) Create commands that will find the right day in the file, and then
create an indirect, narrowed buffer to the contents of the day for editing.
4) Add an org-agenda-after-show-hook to load the proper day page view
when switching from the agenda.

So, a couple of questions:

1) Is this a sane approach?  My elisp is average at best, and the
org-mode devs could probably think of a more graceful way to do this.

2) Is there a reason that the org-agenda-after-show-hook is only called
when using org-agenda-goto and not org-agenda-switch-to, or is this a bug?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Jack

That's all right.

For the above example yes, but not with more than one %():
“- %(capitalize simple percent-escape)\n- %(capitalize one more)”

Also non-greedy regexp is not enough here:
“%(capitalize (some) text)”

 -- but you're right there

When I wrote the patch my conclusion was that regexp alone is not
sufficient. For real feed templates used by me, not only for
artificial examples. I must admit that my solution with `forward-sexp'
is complicated but it makes available the power of the Emacs Lisp Mode
parser. Maybe there are still some simplifications?

[O] [babel, ess] How can I make S-RET to be multi-session friendly?

Hello!

There is a wonderful post[1] on how to make S-RET to do handy things in

from different folders.

It is quite inconvenient to change a directory in =*R*= buffer each time
I work on different document.

Is there a neat way to somehow reuse Org mode property =session= that I
set buffer wide?

Also for some reason

#+PROPERTY: session *Rsomename*

does not override session name set in =org-babel-default-header-args:R=
even after =C-c C-c= on it when I re-evaluate babel code block with =C-c
C-c= on code block, while explicit block header =:session *Rsomename*=
makes difference.

,[ snippet from dot emacs ]
| (setq org-babel-default-header-args:R

Hi,
I'm relatively new to org-mode and a non-techie but grappling by and large with
the steep learning curve and enjoying it!

I had a simple question that I haven't been able to get an easy answer to. 
I've just compiled the latest build of emacs 24.1 from the gnu.org website which
currently has the latest build of org-mode (7.8.11 I believe).

I've also cloned the bleeding edge git repository onto my PC (as I'm interested
in getting the benefit of recent patches for exporting to Taskjuggler 3) and did
a make into my ~/elisp directory.

My question: how do I validate that I have the latest build version of org-mode
running as when I do a 'M-x org-version' I just get the answer '7.8.11'.

I've put a line in my .emacs file to add my ~/elisp directory to my load path
however it's not clear how I get emacs to load the newer files I've compiled to
my ~/elisp directory over the existing emacs 24.1 build.

I've gone through the FAQ section on the org-mode website and couldn't seem to
find any hints for my issue.

I fail to see the meaning of ([^,]*[ \t]*\\|) replacing ([^)]*)

The \\| is wrong, right?

Yep, you can remove the \\|.

I think I need an example with such a remote reference, the way
org-table-convert-refs-to-rc would have converted it, and the way
it does with your patch.

Real example from a formula in a table of mine:

  B3=(B2*remote(Factors,F10))/remote(Factors,G10)

The old org-table-convert-refs-to-rc would have converted it to:

@3$2=(@2$2*remote(Factors,F10))/remote(Factors,G10)
  
The new version to:

@3$2=(@2$2*remote(Factors,@10$6))/remote(Factors,@10$7)

i.e. the old version was not converting the A0 coordinates to rc
coordinates.

Hey Ciaran,

as far as I remember you need to call

(require 'org-install)

to make emacs load your installation instead of the default one.
Add it to your emacs config and check out org-version again

Also you might be interesting to use the emacs-package manager which
is a rather new feature of emacs.
Org-mode versions there might be a good compromise between stability
and  up-to-dateness. Check here for details

 running as when I do a 'M-x org-version' I just get the answer '7.8.11'.

 I've put a line in my .emacs file to add my ~/elisp directory to my load path
 however it's not clear how I get emacs to load the newer files I've compiled 
 to
 my ~/elisp directory over the existing emacs 24.1 build.

 I've gone through the FAQ section on the org-mode website and couldn't seem to
 find any hints for my issue.

[O] Org agenda and recent files list....

2012-08-09 Thread Robert Goldman
I was finding that the use of org-agenda made my recent files list less
than useful, by filling up the list with files that I rarely opened by
hand with find-file.

The following snippet, added to my org-config file, seems to have fixed
things.

;;;---
;;; Agenda files shouldn't get entries in the recentf-list
;;;---
(defun org-is-agenda-file (filename)
  (find (file-truename filename) org-agenda-files :key 'file-truename
:test 'equal))

(require 'recentf)
(pushnew 'org-is-agenda-file recentf-exclude)

I mention this on the off-chance it's useful to someone else...

cheers,

[O] [PATCH] Fixes org-rmail-follow-link

2012-08-09 Thread T.F. Torrey
With creating links working in Rmail, now I see that following links
fails with the error Message not found.

The error comes from the use of the function widen in
org-rmail-follow-link. In an RMAIL buffer, the widen function only
widens to the current message. The function to widen to the entire
buffer is rmail-widen.

The attached patch replaces widen with rmail-widen and also removes the
following two lines (added by Bastien as part of the previous patch re
Rmail), because rmail-widen already displays full headers, so testing
and toggling them on has no effect.

GNU Emacs 24.1.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.4.2) of
2012-07-29 on doubah, modified by Debian

Org-mode version 7.8.11 (release_7.8.11-392-g9dae6f-git @ mixed
installation! /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/ and
/home/tftorrey/.emacs.d/src/org-mode/lisp/)

Best to all,
Terry

 This is fixed now, thanks.

 I used a slightly different fix, taking `rmail-header-style' into
 account.  Thanks anyway for the patch!

It works for me. Thanks for the quick fix. Although ...

Nick Dokos nicholas.do...@hp.com writes:

 The attached patch remedies this by toggling on the full header display
 before getting the Message-ID.
 

 Shouldn't it be toggled off afterwards?

That would seem logical to me, too, but the internal workings of
org-rmail.el and the rmail functions (which I don't fully understand)
already always leave the headers toggled off.

In the long run, this should probably be changed to respect the state
prior to storing the link, but for now, Bastien's patch makes the
linking function work.

Re: [O] [PATCH 00/10] Takjuggler exporter improvements

2012-08-09 Thread Christian Egli
Hi Yann

Yann Hodique yann.hodi...@gmail.com writes:

 Here are a couple of patches for org-taskjuggler.el

 My main goals with these were to:

  - be able to leverage SCHEDULE/DEADLINE information, so as to be able
to leverage org timelines in complement to the reports

  - be able to #+BIND some of the exporter variables (such as the
preamble)

  - be able to define reports in the org file itself, without having to
mess with a custom variable

 Any feedback is highly welcome.

I have looked at your patches. I have not had time to try them but
reading the diffs it looks excellent. They implement some features which
make the exporter much more flexible.

I have one comment to patch make project umbrella task optional which
I'll adress separately.

Thanks

Re: [O] [OT] Current website not very attractive

2012-08-09 Thread Jambunathan K
 how would you improve it? 

I will probably make Worg Wikipedia-like 
  1. Quick navigation to one side.
  2. TOC on top and bounded.
  3. A header bar, maybe.
  4. A bigger font.

One can start with pedia.css provided by Emacswiki.  

I have followed this trail - Org as a Wiki and a personal information
portal - a bit for last few weeks.

If Wiki-like style is not agreeable one can go with a style like this:
http://mah.everybody.org/books/.  There is some simple understated
elegance to that page that is quite appealing.  It is the presence of
margins on either side that makes the page look solemn and respectable.

 +  Whether to keep the project headline as an umbrella task for

I'm trying to understand the use case here. If I understand correctly
the container headline will no longer unconditionally generate a root
task. So you could have multiple root tasks? Does this work in both
versions of tj?

 Russell Adams:
  Thus I pose the question: What is a valid contact manager for a

 Hallo Russell,

 I'm also searching for a contact manager since ages. What I want to try when
 I've time (tm):

 - GNU recutils - plain text database, avail. in Debian et al.
 http://www.gnu.org/software/recutils

 - http://www.nongnu.org/addressbook
 From the author of recutils but abandoned. Elisp, like lbdb but uses vcard3
 format. Would be wonderful if somebody would update to [vx]card4.

 - Postgresql on the Desktop
 After having worked with Hadoop and looked into other NoSQL systems I'd like
 to have a closer look at old SQL stuff again. MySQL vulgarized me.

 ...But wouldn't it be better to use something semantic for contact management?

I'd like to see semantic's for everything! I may have to give BBDB3 a
whirl, given I've started to pickup elisp. My initial experience was
hideous, but if I can get phone integration perhaps it'd be worth the
pain.

On the semantic note, I found a utility called tmsu recently
(http://tmsu.org/) which allows semantic tagging of files. There was a
cool looking filesystem called Tagsistant too, but it unfortunately
appears abandoned.

Thanks.
