Semi-off topic, related to this: brian powell writes: > So, again, seriously, this thread is misnamed. "What can't you do in > Emacs/OrgMode?" What can't it be used for?--this should be the thread! I had four main uses for emacs: - Programming in SuperCollider - Email (wanderlust) - Editing of Lilypond source files for music notation - Org Lilypond was the first to go. Lilypond-mode is basically unmaintained, and its code completion is rather poor compared to the dedicated, qt-based editor Frescobaldi. Then SuperCollider 3.6 came out, with a new, dedicated qt-based editor, again improving on the code completion available in sclang-mode. Then I got a tablet and started doing email on it, and lost interest in wanderlust. So now I'm down to using emacs just for org-mode and... that's [expletive] spectacular all by itself :) In the last year, using beamer export for my class presentations opened my eyes to org-mode as a writing tool. My next paper will be written entirely in org-mode, looking forward to that! hjh

[O] Adding a class to html export of a list
Hi, I would like to add a class to a list on html export. So, this: #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE - [[#][Home]] - [[#about][About]] - [[#contact][Contact]] #+END_EXAMPLE becomes this: #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE Home About Contact #+END_EXAMPLE I've been back and forth through the docs and I can't place a way to do it, other than to drop back to raw html (and I love my plain lists).

I'm not sure exactly how to do it purely in org, but
http://renard.github.com/o-blog/ has similar functionality - if you look
through the project you might find useful patterns. The project has a separate
lisp parser to org-mode but.
An example,
- [[#][/icon-file icon-white/ Tips]]
- [[file:{lisp}(format "%s/%s" (ob:path-to-root) (ob:post-htmlfile
(ob:get-last-post "Tips" 0))){/lisp}][{lisp}(ob:post-title (ob:get-last-post
"Tips" 0)){/lisp}]]
- [[file:{lisp}(format "%s/%s" (ob:path-to-root) (ob:post-htmlfile
(ob:get-last-post "Tips" 1))){/lisp}][{lisp}(ob:post-title (ob:get-last-post
"Tips" 1)){/lisp}]]
- [[file:{lisp}(format "%s/%s" (ob:path-to-root) (ob:post-htmlfile
(ob:get-last-post "Tips" 2))){/lisp}][{lisp}(ob:post-title (ob:get-last-post

[O] two questions about speedbar
Hi, I am trying to modify the way speedbar interacts with org files (for the purpose of the 'writers room' project I've discussed in other threads). I wonder if anyone can help me with these two issues: - when I browse an org file in speedbar (and, interestingly, some org files don't seem to work with speedbar, though most do) I can't navigate directly to a headline by clicking on in if it has subheadings. Is that everyone else's experience? Anyone know if it's possible to change this behaviour? - instead of navigating to the location of headline in an org buffer (when I click on a headline in speedbar), I would like to call org-tree-to-indirect-buffer on that headline. I'm not sure, but I think the behaviour of speedbar clicks for org-mode is set in org.el: (eval-after-load "speedbar" '(progn (speedbar-add-supported-extension ".org") (define-key speedbar-file-key-map "<" 'org-speedbar-set-agenda-restriction) (define-key speedbar-file-key-map "\C-c\C-x<" 'org-speedbar-set-agenda-restriction) (define-key speedbar-file-key-map ">" 'org-agenda-remove-restriction-lock) (define-key speedbar-file-key-map "\C-c\C-x>" 'org-agenda-remove-restriction-lock) (add-hook 'speedbar-visiting-tag-hook (lambda () (and (derived-mode-p 'org-mode) (org-show-context 'org-goto)) I'm not entirely sure what that last add-hook statement does, but can I maybe replace org-goto with org-tree-to-indirect-buffer (or better, my own custom function)? In fact I just tried that but it doesn't seem to have worked, so maybe I have the wrong function. Any suggestions? (and a bonus: if anyone happens to know how I can limit the view in speedbar to the headlines in a single file, I'd loveto hear about that too!)

[O] BUG in org-mobile-create-index-file()
This is in org-mobile.el. I discovered this while learning to use MobileOrg. The section of the code that writes out the Priorities (line 462 in org version 7.9.2) totally ignores the variables org-highest-priority and org-lowest-priority, and simply sets the #+ALLPRIORITIES value to "A B C". In my case, I have org-highest-priority set to '1', and org-lowest-priority set to '5', so I would expect #+ALLPRIORITIES to be set to "1 2 3 4 5". My elisp-fu is non-existant, so could someone please fix this to enable MobileOrg to work more correctly? Thank you all for your efforts on this great product. I use Org all the time, for years now.

[O] Linking to Thunderbird
Today I discovered a really practical add-on for Thunderbird that solved my problem of how to linking to a mail in Thunderbird: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/addon/thunderlink/ (It requires some modification of the mimetypes on your system as described in the documentation.) Next, I set up a file org-thunderlink.el to register the link in orgmode. The code is not more than this: (require 'org) (org-add-link-type "thunderlink" 'org-thunderlink-open) (defun org-thunderlink-open (path) "Opens a specified email in Thunderbird with the help of the add-on ThunderLink." ;(message-box path) (start-process "myname" nil "xdg-open" (concat "thunderlink:" path))) (provide 'org-thunderlink) It works mostly except when Thunderbird is not running and for some emails whose id start with a number (but I have to check out). I would be interested in feedback if someone improves the code above to make it right: I'm aware that, as I am not an Elisp programmer, the code above is probably not the way to do it. :-)

[O] Custom Agenda (was: Exclude tag from custom agenda)
Hi!
Playing around with Agenda today, I developed a perspective what I
want to achieve. Unfortunately, I am not able to come up with a
working configuration :-(
I'd like to have an agenda like that:

`
I guess, I need to look at following things:
- [ ] org-agenda-custom-commands (see below)
- I got the agenda, but not with filtered out :extra: tags,
:extra: section below, and the «DONE today» section
- Bonus: «DONE today» matches the current agenda-day being
displayed (and not only the current day)
- [?] (setq org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done t)
- I am not sure, whether or not this is a contradiction to my
desire to list them only in the «DONE today» section above
- [X] org-agenda-sorting-strategy (see below) and [2]
- I could manage to get the overdue events (like «STARTED a started
thing...») on the top of the list yet by using a modified version
of «bh/agenda-sort» from [2]
- So this thing is solved for me
,[ current snippet of org-agenda-custom-commands ]

| (quote (
| ("o" "overview Agenda"

| (quote ((agenda habit-down time-up user-defined-up priority-down

Are you able to help here?
My current workaround is excluding tags using [3] and «/ RET» in
agenda. But I want to get rid of this separate step.

Re: [O] Problem with template expansion of previous prompts.
Yes, you're correct, Aaron, thanks. Apparently the secondary substitutions only get processed after all the questions are asked and the template is written out to the temp buffer.

need a special property; org-entry-get should give you the right one.
I am not good at this, but what about something like:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
(defun my-agenda-sort-by-inactive-timestamp (a b)
"Sort by interactive timestamp. Oldest first, items without any ts at the
bottom."
(let* ((ma (or (get-text-property 1 'org-marker a)
(get-text-property 1 'org-hd-marker a)))
(mb (or (get-text-property 1 'org-marker b)
(get-text-property 1 'org-hd-marker b)))
(tsa (org-entry-get ma "TIMESTAMP_IA"))
(tsb (org-entry-get mb "TIMESTAMP_IA"))
(ta (when tsa (date-to-time tsa)))
(tb (when tsb (date-to-time tsb
(cond ((eq tsa nil) +1)
((eq tsb nil) -1)
((time-less-p ta tb)
-1)
((time-less-p tb ta)
+1)
(t nil
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("x" "Tasks" todo ""
((org-agenda-overriding-header "Tasks sorted by
TIMESTAMP_IA")
(org-agenda-cmp-user-defined
'my-agenda-sort-by-inactive-timestamp)
(org-agenda-sorting-strategy
'(user-defined-up)))
)))
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
Does that work?
If you use :logbook:, entries within will 'override' your inactive
timestamp at the end of the entry. A special CREATED property would be
useful in this case.

Until the symbolics lisp machine is resurrected and we return to a world of parens and turtles all the way down, I've resigned myself to living in a mixed lisp/unix environment. That said, I've been able to cobble together an interface which very closely approximates an Emacs operating system. 1. A tiling window manager (I personally use xmonad [1]). This lets you navigate all of your windows as if they were Emacs buffers, and allows one to go hours using multiple applications without having to use a mouse. 2. Conkeror [2], a web browser built on the same code base as Firefox, which makes web browsing as Emacs-like as possible (e.g., tabs are buffers, and most of the main key chords are the same). The major component my desktop is missing is a system-wide kill ring. I've used tools which purport to provide this, but have yet to find one that works the way I want it to.

I've pushed a fix (29117be) for this issue after checking the documentation again and running the tests manually to really see what happened.

Well this relates to me to: - Multi-threaded GNU/Emacs ... because I have multiple CPU cores but Emacs (and Org-mode obviously) is only able to use one single core :-( Usually I do not care.

[O] Exclude tag from custom agenda
Hi!
I very much like the agenda customization from [1] and I would like
to adopt it for my needs.
What I want to achieve: on top, there should be my normal agenda
(events, tasks, habits, ...) but minus elements tagged with
"reward".
Below, there should be a "section" with all reward-tasks (excluded
are future ones) and so forth.
,

| (quote (

| ("o" "overview Agenda"
|((agenda "" nil)
| (tags-todo "+reward"

`
Above snippet works but shows my usual agenda including items tagged
with "reward".
I think, that «(agenda "" nil)» has to be modified but I don't know
how.
Can you help me?

[O] unicode in org-mode
For notes (and other things) I tend to use non-ASCII characters fairly freely.
(Among them the most common are: ∃ -- there is, ∀ -- every, ∈ -- in, ∴ --
therefore, ≡, arrows, bullets, checks, subscripts, superscripts, etc.)
It would be nice to be able to configure org-mode to handle them nicely. (Where
"nicely" means in exactly the vague way that I want.)
(1) Bullets are for bullet lists. It would be nice if they could be interpreted
as such.
(2) The other symbols (∃, ∀, etc.) are natural for LaTeX, but they would have
to expand to things like \assuremath{\exists}.
Is there currently any way (short of hacking org-mode code) to accomplish this?
If not, what is the official venue for feature requests?
I'm willing to help, but I can't do so at this address.
Thanks.

It seems that it's nearly got what you're looking for, except at the moment it only allows for things with inactive time stamps that are todo state changes, clocked, or have been marked done. Perhaps log mode could have a "journal" mode in which all time stamped items are extracted? I'm thinking someone will have to add a tweak to current functionality. There's a bit I found when googling that org-mode can sort by timestamps -- I'm assuming this means to rearrange actual headlines in the file, which is probably not what you want. Perhaps the build in sorting combined with the above could get you the view you're looking for.

I currently don't make effective use of priorities. However, I do like letters because they're less ambiguous; the letter A appears to mean both "most important" and "do it first", while the numeral 1 could mean "do it first" or "most important" OR "least important". However, in the end, priority markers should be anything that works for the individual, and being able to change their display makes sense. -- David
[O] including the result of a block in several places?
Hello,
I tried including the result of evaluation a block in several slides,
but the second time it was not included. Here is the code I ran:
#+begin_src org
** Prototype-based objects
#+name: object_example
#+begin_src js :results code output :exports both
var f = function(a) {
this.x = a
}
f.prototype = {y : 1}
var o = new f (42)
console.log("o.x = " + o.x + ", o.y = " + o.y)
#+end_src
Results
#+results: object_example
** Prototype-based objects
#+begin_src js
var f = function(a) {
this.x = a
}
f.prototype = {y : 1}
var o = new f (42)
console.log("o.x = " + o.x + ", o.y = " + o.y)
#+end_src
Results
#+results: object_example
(Some additional images added)
#+end_src
I cannot do a "\pause" because a slide will be inserted in the middle.
Is it possible to have the results of the evaluation of a block in
several places?
Thanks,

the info manual. You can find relevant docs in the source files. I am
slowly working towards a tutorial type docs for org-e-beamer. When it
is in shape, I'll push to Worg.
That said, publishing is fully supported by the new exporter, just
change the publishing function names to the functions provided by the
new exporter.
Here is an improperly tested example from one of my tests:
(setq org-e-publish-project-alist
'(("thesis" :components ("thesis-tex" "thesis-html"))
("thesis-tex" :base-directory "/path/PhD-thesis"
:publishing-directory "/path/PhD-thesis/latex"
:publishing-function org-e-publish-org-to-latex
)))
Hope this helps.

Re: [O] Emacs user conference
Hi Joakim, Good we got a place! So it will be Stockholm. Roughly how many people can you hold comfortably in a meeting room? It's important to know so that we don't get too many people. When we did a Org Mode conference in Paris in 2012 we were very surprised that 12 people turned up. The next question is when? I think like you that a week-end is best. I can't think talking about emacs for more than two days. I am thinking between April and June 2013. I am only saying this because warm weather puts me in a good mood. It could be done sooner. I don't think we should do it in July or August because most people takes their holiday then... [1] Take care, Ivan Kanis [1] Well in France at least ;)

Yeah, some of that's out of date.

THe trick is probably to make some improvements to the underlying org/speedbar integration. - when speedbar is running in the same frame as other windows, it isn't so good at determining where it should open new buffers. Binding the clicks to my writers-room-pop-buffer function should fix that. - the builtin speedbar browsers are awesome, but I think it would be better to have a stripped-down interfacd that only showed the project you're working on. I guess the way to do that would be to extend speedbr with a new major or minor mode. ( http://www.gnu.org/software/

Indeed. There is no support anymore for that feature. Macros are
a simple tool for simple tasks. Anything more complicated would overlap
with Babel functionalities. There's no point in providing that.
As a side note, the old exporter is wrong anyway, since only line breaks
should ensure to keep a real line break in the output.
Also, a macro can be replaced with a more complicated Babel call, if
needed.

Things you can't do in Emacs that feel as if they *should* be practical, even though they currently are not - Web browsing with ease, and with a full list of currently-expected features (i.e. features to make the general public say "Wow! This is much better than Firefox! I'm switching to this for banking, and for everything else as well!" - not "Umm, why does it look like this?"). This single (admittedly huge) feature, probably along with the next one, are IMO the "killer features" that Emacs does not have. - Ability to continue working in other buffers when one buffer is busy. Combine this feature and the one mentioned above, and I (perhaps along with a lot of other people) move from two primary every-day applications down to one. - WYSIWYG word processing with multiple fonts per page, adjustable margins, and named styles (not saying it should ever be implemented, just saying it's something Emacs can't currently be used for) And how about fantasy-but-would-be-really-useful features? Nearly unlimited. - Fully-functioning, practical Org-mode & Gnus & Emacs on a touch screen - Optical character recognition within Emacs - Text entry by voice (including programming languages) within Emacs - Hand-written text entry directly into Emacs, including filling in web forms And then comes the truly unlimited category of "What, are you crazy???" - Emacs Movie Editor - Emacs Music Recording Studio - Emacs Audio-To-Text Song Lyrics Transcriber - "SkypEmacs" simultaneous videoconferencing and collaborative text editing, where the participants all type into the same document at once, but also their entire voice conversation is automatically transcribed to plain text, and that transcription saved in the same directory as the document.

[O] Sort by Inactive Timestamp
Hey Org mailing list! So, I have been using org for years (2006?) now, absolutely adore it. The generic org-export in contrib really excites me as well, I want to try and write an org-e-mediawiki.el after I learn some more about org's implementation. However.. my current issue: I'd like to sort my todo's by when I entered them. So in my capture template I put an inactive timestamp at the bottom, so my headlines look something like: --8<---cut here---start->8--- * Todo ** TODO call mom - Ask about christmas - Talk about Dad - See if she bought a dog [2012-12-05 Wed 16:36] ** TODO Yet another thing [2012-12-05 Wed 16:37] --8<---cut here---end--->8--- I'd love to have a way to bring up the agenda and have it sorted by this ctime I'm manually inserting. Do people have suggestions on the best way to support this? Maybe add a property to my TODOs that is this creation time? Has anyone else done something similar to this using org-agenda-cmp-user-defined? ... is this the wrong place to ask this question? I appreciate any and all help! // jeff
