"If the command is used at the beginning of a headline, the new headline is created

IMHO the definition of a headline is clear in the manual

2.2 Headlines

Headlines define the structure of an outline tree. The headlines in Org 
*start* with one or more stars, on the left margin

Fixed.

One problem which I am currently working on is session mode.
This is not yet working.
Therefore I have put an (error "..") in org-babel-lua-initiate-session.

I already received the confirmation from FSF (the signed PDF), and I have seen
that I have been added to the contributors of org-mode.

Didn't know that Calc has a histogram function. The histogram values
would fit perfectly to the ASCII plot within an Org table:

I have been following a VCard-like naming scheme for org-contacts
properties for a longer time. 

see
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-04/msg01224.html

Recently, because of the lack of support for properties in MobileOrg and
the lost support for links in properties, I finally decided to export my
contact data to Google Contacts and -- just in order to try it -- to
BBDB.  I accomplished this by creating a table with org-collector and
exporting it to CSV that can be imported by Google Contacts and BBDB.

Therefore I had to change the naming scheme.  It is now similar to that
of Google Contacts.

Here is the appropriate code:

#+BEGIN_SRC org
# -*- mode: org; org-cycle-hook: (org-cycle-hide-archived-subtrees 
org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks org-cycle-show-empty-lines 
org-optimize-window-after-visibility-change) -*-

I disagree. Let's try to keep the quality on Worg high.  Let's not put
broken code there, especially without explaining why.

I have attached a quick patch with a text that I think is more
accurate and that tries to explain the issue.  I think the tone may be
too "academic"/dry.

Since Suvayu put the initial effort into the answer I will wait for
his approval before submitting it.

Re: [O] Filtering org-clock-display

[Noah Slater]

Aha! Sorry, I hadn't updated my checkout to HEAD.

I see that when I run that command now, I get a prompt asking me for
"Range" with the following options:

lastmonth lastweek lastyear thismonth
thisweek thisyear today yesterday

And the new doc:

With one universal prefix argument, show the total time for
today.  With two universal prefix arguments, show the total time
for a custom range, entered at the prompt.  With three universal
prefix arguments, show the total time in the echo area.

That's pretty cool. Any reason it doesn't use the same syntax as the
:tstart param though?

This breaks a function I had written (and perhaps other people's functions).

To replicate this breakage, I wrote this function:

(defun clock-display-test ()
  (interactive)
  (org-clock-display))

Before this change, that would successfully call org-clock-display. Now it
displays this error in *Messages*:

clock-display-test: Wrong number of arguments: (lambda (arg) "Show subtree
times in the entire buffer.

With one universal prefix argument, show the total time for
today.  With two universal prefix arguments, show the total time
for a custom range, entered at the prompt.  With three universal
prefix arguments, show the total time in the echo area.

Use \\[org-clock-remove-overlays] to remove the subtree times."
(interactive "P") (org-clock-remove-overlays) (let* ((todayp (equal arg
(quote (4 (customp (equal arg (quote (16 (prop (cond (todayp
:org-clock-minutes-today) (customp :org-clock-minutes-custom) (t
:org-clock-minutes))) time h m p) (cond (todayp (org-clock-sum-today))
(customp (org-clock-sum-custom)) (t (org-clock-sum))) (if (eq arg (quote
(64))) nil (save-excursion (goto-char (point-min)) (while (or (and (equal
(setq p (point)) (point-min)) (get-text-property p prop)) (setq p
(next-single-property-change (point) prop))) (goto-char p) (if (setq time
(get-text-property p prop)) (progn (org-clock-put-overlay time (setq h
(/ org-clock-file-total-minutes 60) m (- org-clock-file-total-minutes (* 60
h))) (if org-remove-highlights-with-change (progn (org-add-hook (quote
before-change-functions) (quote org-clock-remove-overlays) nil (quote
local)) (message (concat (format "Total file time%s: " (cond (todayp "
for today") (customp " (custom)") (t ""))) (org-minutes-to-clocksum-string
org-clock-file-total-minutes) " (%d hours and %d minutes)") h m))), 0

That doesn't look right to me. Should an error be printing out all that
stuff like that?

How should I change my function to call org-clock-display? Can I pass in
the range as an argument somehow?

Does it make sense for this function to behave like it used to if you just
call it like (org-clock-display) with no other arguments? (i.e. Make this
great new functionality backwards compatible, and off-by-default.)

The solution was to clean-up `org-move-to-column' directly.

It used to do complex stuff when agenda filters were using overlays,
now it's more simple and things should be all right also in other
places than the agenda where `org-move-to-column' is in use (e.g.
tables, headlines when aligning the tags, etc.)

Thanks again for the patch,

That's why I say it's tricky.

Sure.  But the regexp that was posted fails in this regard.

Come on, that's not really acceptable for an advice on org-mode.org.

To deal with the tricky part you need an additional filter.  Or you
need a filter on the final output and you'd probably need to make some
accounting of what's present and what is not so that you can update
counters and TOCs.

Okay, the above is basically up and working, modulo bugs. In an OCD fit
I had to rename a couple of functions, I'm going to coder hell, I know
it. gnorb-gnus-outgoing-make-todo is now gnorb-gnus-outgoing-do-todo,
and gnorb-gnus-message-trigger-todo is now gnorb-gnus-incoming-do-todo.

The readme at https://github.com/girzel/gnorb has a general description
of how one might use this for email tracking.

So if I have the following in my Org file

,---
| +LANGUAGE: de
| +LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
`---

I get this in my LaTeX file:

,-
| \usepackage[ngerman, germanb]{babel}
`-

and I get \today is rendered correctly for German:

,-
| 26. Mai 2014
`-

However, without a \usepackage{babel} header and just

,--
| +LANGUAGE: de
`--

there is no \usepackage line in the LaTeX file for babel and I get

,-
| May 26, 2014
`-

The specific idiosyncrasy with German seems to be that there are 3
options with babel: german, ngerman, and germanb.  If the LATEX_HEADER
includes babel, then setting LANGUAGE will append germanb to the list of
language options given, if not already given.

So my problem is solved (thanks, Nick), although one question remains:

Does setting LANGUAGE, without \usepackage{babel} on its own actually
achieve anything for LaTeX, or is it just for other backends?

Cheers,

Loris

I have not tried it yet, but
https://github.com/dooblem/bsync/blob/master/README.md could be of some
help. I guess it does like unison but using rsync.

Also, if you handle big files also, you may try git-annex
(http://git-annex.branchable.com/). I could be used to simply
synchronize files with "git config annex.largefiles 'exclude=*'" and
"git annex sync".
