Re: [O] Possible bug: Can not search for text in links - only description
Thanks everybody - many useful comments and ideas. First I must say it makes sense to give the error message, although I was quite surprised. But the message should contain a string one can easily search for. And I guess the most used search function is C-s I think the message should be changes to the description of the link and the target in brackets. This would make searching easier.

No. I use org-mode mostly for documentation and even documentation
should look nice (the whitespace in a document is there for a reason;
IIRC in the documentation of koma-script there is some rationale for
the layout).
There are many other ways to influence the layout and save
whitespace on paper. Personally, I use the koma-script classes and
playing with parameters like DIV IMHO give more appealing results. For
controlling the body there are also quite some good packages (like
enumitem), that allow more fine grained control.
With a simple #+LATEX_HEADER_EXTRA: \usepackage[extreme]{savetrees}
it's very easy to get this special effect. But maybe we should make
this easier with a special option like uglyandcompressed:t (pun
intended)?
I'm not against a more compact and cleaned up preamble and maybe a
special orgmode package for LaTeX may be a good idea. But fiddling
with the layout of a document should never be the default and only be
enabled via explicit options, as quite some classes out there do a
really good job.
BTW: If producing PDF for screenreading is important, we should think
about an easy option to switch to A5 with a sane layout. A5 is much
better for screenreading than A4 and even 2 pages A5 printed on a
single A4 looks quite good and readable. The main benefit: With A5
there is much less whitespace (see documentation of koma-script for an
example). Maybe A5 output should be the default setting?

You can find a minimal example here[1], with the org file, and the

Your PDF is not generated with pdflatex (or a newer engine like
lualatex), but with dvips and Ghostscript. Thus the fonts are not PS
Type 1 fonts, but Type 3 fonts (bitmap instead of vector; therefore
scaling/zooming will result in bad quality).
I'm not quite sure if this is also the root cause of the inability to
search. But if i recompile your tex-file (from [1]) with pdflatex, I
get Type 1 fonts and have no problems with searching.
Therefore I would suggest to switch the engine to pdflatex.
Another hint: You should try the Latin Modern font (put a
\usepackage{lmodern} after loading fontenc) -- it's the
(technically) modern variant of Computer Modern (the old TeX default
font). Lati Modern is available as OpenType font and has less problems
with Unicode and special characters like german umlauts (ä, ü,...) or
other non-ASCII letters.
And maybe you should also have a look at biblatex[2] (as a much more
flexible alternative to natbib).

[O] html preamble
So my next task is to learn about the HTML preamble. From reading the docs, it looks like all of my org files have to share a single HTML preamble, which is set in my .emacs file through either the org-html-preamble variable, the org-html-preamble-format variable, or the org-publish-project-alist variable. There is no way to tell a specific Org file This is your HTML preamble. Is that correct? Why are there two different variables org-html-preamble-format and org-html-preamble if the org-html-preamble variable can perform all of the tasks of org-html-preamble-format and more? Finally, how do I get the current date into the preamble?

[O] Bug: reftex breaking after org-mode export [8.2.10 (8.2.10-35-g19a7d6-elpa @ /Users/adamjackson/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20150323/)]
Hi,
I've been struggling with Reftex in org-mode. Initially things are fine,
then after exporting the document to LaTeX and continuing to work with
org-mode, using most of the reftex features (e.g. reftex-toc or trying to
insert a reference) produces a Wrong type argument: stringp, nil error
message.
The code in my init file to set up reftex:
;; Reftex
(require 'reftex)
(defun org-mode-reftex-setup ()
(load-library reftex)
(and (buffer-file-name) (file-exists-p (buffer-file-name))
;enable auto-revert-mode to update reftex when bibtex file changes on
disk
(global-auto-revert-mode t)
(reftex-parse-all)
(define-key org-mode-map (kbd C-c [) 'reftex-citation)
;add a custom reftex cite format to insert links
;; (reftex-set-cite-format ** [[papers:%l][%l]]: %t \n)
)
)
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'org-mode-reftex-setup)
At the moment I still enter reftex-mode on demand with M-x reftex-mode.
Here is the backtrace for the error:

[O] [Beamer] Combining blocks, columns, and column(s) options
Hi everyone,
I've found a number of references to the problem of aligning columns,
especially using the block environment [1, 2, 3]. Specifically, I would
like to supply option arguments to either the `columns` or `column` latex
environment directive. As written, it appears that only the `block`
environment can be supplied options. I have also tried the BEAMER_envarg
suggestion on the website http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-export.html to
no avail.
To clarify, I would like to inject an option `[t]` such that a .org file
that looks like
```
*** Foo
Bar
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_col: 0.45
:BEAMER_env: block
:END:
foo
Baz
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_col: 0.45
:BEAMER_env: block
:END:
foo
```
gets translated into tex that looks like
```
\begin{frame}[label=sec-x-y-z]{Foo}
\begin{columns}*[t]*
\begin{column}{0.45\columnwidth}
\begin{block}{Bar}
foo
\end{block}
\end{column}
\begin{column}{0.45\columnwidth}
\begin{block}{Baz}
foo
\end{block}
\end{column}
\end{columns}
\end{frame}
```
Note that an alternative of placing `[t]` after each `column` environment
would also work.
Has anyone gotten these environments to work nicely together?
Cheers,

Hi there,
being like a Pavlov's dog trained to dribble on seeing the word
LaTeX;-), let me add my 2 cents here.
[TL;DR: imho, the right way to do LaTeX export is to prepare a dedicated
package for Org-mode generated files (easy/medium), arrange for it to be
included in all major TeX distros (easy) and simplify the LaTeX exporter
to comply with it (easy). This could greatly enhance the quality of
PDFs produced by Org-mode and make modifying their look easier on the
Org side. I could do the LaTeX side of the work. Now the question is:
does the community /want/ it.]
The (default) LaTeX markup sucks. (It’s not about Org-mode-produced
LaTeX files, it’s about LaTeX itself.) And I'm telling that as
a long-time TeX and LaTeX user and fan. I would strongly suggest not
caring too much about “what does LaTeX support out-of-the-box” – in
fact, it supports almost nothing without a heap of packages.
What I really think Org-mode community should do is the following.
We (if I may use that pronoun here) should prepare a dedicated Org LaTeX
package, properly supporting all Org’s fancy stuff like tags,
timestamps, todo keywords etc., and allowing for parametrizing their
look-and-feel through a reasonable LaTeX interface. I think it should
/not/ be a class, since then people would be free to use it with
article/amsart/koma-script/memoir/whatever. This is not very difficult
nor time-consuming, and in fact I might be tempted to do it (more on
that below). This would require (simple) changes in the LaTeX exporter
(generally, simplifying it); this I cannot do, since I don’t have the
FSF papers signed (and I don’t want to sign them). OTOH, the package
does not have this problem, since LaTeX licensing is much more sane than
Emacs’; this package should be imho part of every TeX distro (which is
important, and in fact easy to arrange), so that we could send an
Org-generated LaTeX file to any TeX user.
The biggest advantage would be the possibility of exporting e.g. TODO
lists or agendas to LaTeX, and have them formatted as TODO lists and
agendas and not as “articles”. Currently, LaTeX export is more or less
limited to scientific articles (unless you want to tweak it /a lot/ so
that it looks even remotely reasonable), where you don’t really care
about layout and design, since they are going to be changed by the
journal anyway.
Just think about the possibilities. We could make a TODO list in Org,
and send it (as a pdf file) for non-Org-users to print, and it could
look like a TODO-list. (I guess there are still lots of people who
depend on paper todo lists; I do, for sure, though I make them
manually.) We could have an option (on Org side, which would translate
to a LaTeX one) to have more Word-like layout. (You can say what you
want about Word – my personal opinion is that it is unsuitable for
documents larger/more complex than a piece of paper with an arrow
showing the direction to the restroom – but sometimes, especially for
short memos/notes, LaTeX’s extremely generic spacing can be annoying.
Of course, you could just load the savetrees package – but let me make
a short, informal and unscientific survey here: how many of you would
find it useful, but never thought that something like that exists? If,
OTOH, there would be such option for the LaTeX exporter, it would be
right there, in Org-mode manual. In fact, since not everyone might
follow this thread, let me start another one, with this very question in
a minute;-).)
The added benefit would be much cleaner structure of Org-generated LaTeX
files. Currently, they have a huge preamble and a few hard-wired
things.
Summing up: as we know, there are many ways people use Org-mode, but the
current PDF exporter (through LaTeX’s article class, heavily biased
toward scientific material) is suboptimal for all but one of these ways.
As I said, if there is some consensus on whether something like that is
needed, I can start working on it. (In fact, it might be a fun
side-project.) I would estimate that I’d need a week or two to come up
with a proof-of-concept, sort-of-working thing, and something like two
months with a first production version. (Though I don’t have time for
a project like this now, realistically I could start in August.) (Let
me thank here for Org-mode clocking feature – the above estimate is due
to the fact that I did some work on coding a dedicated, quite complex
LaTeX class for a journal, and I know that it has taken me about 32
hours as of now. Assuming an average pace of 2-4 hours a week, and
assuming about 16 hours for a first version of this one – it

Re: [O] fontenc makes pdf non-searchable
Martin Leduc mart...@hotmail.com writes:
You can find a minimal example here[1], with the org file, and the
tex and pdf files generated from it. Firts try to search within the
pdf. It does not work (at least on my side) To solve the problem,
remove the line with \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
Your PDF is not generated with pdflatex (or a newer engine like
lualatex), but with dvips and Ghostscript. Thus the fonts are not PS
Type 1 fonts, but Type 3 fonts (bitmap instead of vector; therefore
scaling/zooming will result in bad quality).
I'm not quite sure if this is also the root cause of the inability to
search. But if i recompile your tex-file (from [1]) with pdflatex, I
get Type 1 fonts and have no problems with searching.
Therefore I would suggest to switch the engine to pdflatex.
Another hint: You should try the Latin Modern font (put a
\usepackage{lmodern} after loading fontenc) -- it's the
(technically) modern variant of Computer Modern (the old TeX default
font). Lati Modern is available as OpenType font and has less problems
with Unicode and special characters like german umlauts (ä, ü,...) or
other non-ASCII letters.
And maybe you should also have a look at biblatex[2] (as a much more
flexible alternative to natbib).

Either the project dies, or someone takes it over. The latter seems to
be quite common in the LaTeX community, so I wouldn't be very worried.
That does not seem like something you'd want to base Org on...
You might have misunderstood me. I did not claim that it's often in the
TeX world that people abandon projects, but /if/ they do, it's common
that someone takes over the package. (Though I don’t have any real
data, just my gut feeling.)
scope is somewhat different as a typical latex package solves a problem
like provide good tables or enhance itemize 2e (ei2e). Such
packages are fairly easy to replace (e.g. sugfigure → subcaption).
Fair enough. Not a problem imho, though. A “package” has a very wide
definition in the LaTeX world, and I explained why a package would be
better than a class (even though doing it as a package would be a bit
more work with ensuring that it works with wide range of classes).
I am talking about latex packages and the example mentions real latex
packages. A class would be a sure route to failure. A packages is fine.
But it's beside the point. You argue, if I understand correctly, for
amending ox-latex to rely on a very specialized package, which we may or
may not easily be able to replace should it come to that.
Well, currently it relies on 15 packages anyway, including marvosym and
wasysym which might not be present in every TeX installation, btw.
(They should /really/ be only included when actually needed!) I don't
see much difference.
Besides, I'm not telling about /replacing/ the current exporter. The
behavior I'm talking about could be optional, and turned on by an
option. It would require changes to, say, maybe half of the transcoders
in ox-latex, and a new preamble – and that would be probably it.
Instead of replacing them, they might behave in two ways (“old” one and
“new” one) based on some option.
Finally, assuming that it gets stable after a few months, I don’t see
the need for “replacing” it. I don’t think Org syntax is about to
change drastically.
I can see your concern, though. If my proposal gets some traction, then
Org would indeed depend on something which is not under its control, and
it might be a real concern for some people. OTOH, it /does/ depend on
a few third-party tools anyway – some LaTeX packages, too. (Though they
are stable, and not tightly coupled with Org itself.)
But take, for instance, the current discussion about Org and
bibliographies (which I’m only aware of, I don’t follow it). Assuming
Org gets some standard syntax for citations, there will be a need for
properly exporting them to LaTeX (probably using biblatex or optionally
amsrefs). But these packages already exists, and are stable and
well-known, and it’s fine to call them, so it doesn’t seem a problem for
me. Assuming we don’t want to clutter the exported file with
\usepackage’s, this would require adding /a few lines/ to the proposed
package (\RequirePackage{biblatex} and possibly some simple default
setup).
OTOH, the change in the proposed package /would/ be needed if something
is added to Org core (like TODO keywords, tags or timestamps), which is
not directly supported by LaTeX. I wouldn’t expect that to happen very
often.
- I don't want latex code generated by org to a special flavor like with
LyX.
In my vision, the huge preamble is replaced by \usepackage{orglatex} or
something like this, and instead of, say,
OK.
: \section{{\bfseries\sffamily TODO} hello\hfill{}\textsc{world}}
(how is that not a “special flavor”?) you would have
: \section{\orgtodo{TODO}hello\orgtags{world}}
or, if we decide to do a major surgery on LaTeX’s sectioning mechanism
(which is debatable), even
: \section[orgtodo=TODO,orgtags=world]{hello}
Both are appealing.
- Why can the issues you have in mind not be solved by a specialized
derived backend? Such as ox-beamer or ox-koma-letter.
This seems to bug you enough that you basically asked twice;-).
No. Here is ask why you can't settle for another Org-mode backend, rather
than a new latex package. This can even live in contrib without signing
the copyright agreement with FSF.
If it lives in contrib – which is fine for me personally – it would be
used by a lot less people. If it’s official, Org would have better PDF
support /by default/.
Notice that there might be also Org options mapped to many of the
proposed package

There is no way to tell a specific Org file This is your HTML preamble. Is that correct? That is incorrect (IMO). On a file basis you can turn off most preamble things via the relevant OPTIONS keyword. On a project basis you could set the relevant variable. See org-publish-project-alist. I guess you could make a clever function that sets the org-html-preamble based on some heuristics and add it to one of hooks that are run before parsing. See e.g. org-export-before-parsing-hook. Why are there two different variables org-html-preamble-format and org-html-preamble if the org-html-preamble variable can perform all of the tasks of org-html-preamble-format and more? org-html-preamble-format is a template, it seems, that is used by org-html-preamble, which can also take a string or a function.

It should be so past the colons, indeed. Before them, it is - |:: - Meaning of life :: where | is the point. This should be fixed in 5a550938ce806ee88f62e6df774af47df83312a4.

Re: [O] [patch] ob-latex: htlatex and imagemagick
Hello, Andreas Leha andreas.l...@med.uni-goettingen.de writes: please find attached a small patch that fixes a problem discussed in [1]. In short, when executing a latex src block and htlatex is a valid option, it should be used even if imagemagick is part of the headers. Applied. Thank you. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou

Re: [O] comment section with latex_header

As they are when I comment them out one by one as in `# #+latex_header:'. Is this a bug? (I'd say, yes) This is fixed in c9a52787c14c3a7429bcd3c8975350525e0baa04. Thank you. Thanks. Confirmed.

Re: [O] [Beamer] Combining blocks, columns, and column(s) options
Hello Matthew Gidden gid...@wisc.edu writes: I've found a number of references to the problem of aligning columns, especially using the block environment [1, 2, 3]. Specifically, I would like to supply option arguments to either the `columns` or `column` latex environment directive. As written, it appears that only the `block` environment can be supplied options. I have also tried the BEAMER_envarg suggestion on the website http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-export.html to no avail. BEAMER_envarg no longer exists. Using columns, as suggested in the manual, should work however: * Foo ** Columns :B_columns: :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_env: columns :BEAMER_opt: t :END: *** Bar :B_block:BMCOL: :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_col: 0.45 :BEAMER_env: block :END: foo *** Baz :B_block:BMCOL: :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_col: 0.45 :BEAMER_env: block :END: foo Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
