[O] Changing TODO status on non-current date

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hi all,

assume that I have a habit (or other TODO headline where the /date/ of
converting to DONE is important), and I completed it, say, at 23:30 and
forgot to change the status immediately.  Is there any way to tell Org
that the change was not today, but e.g. yesterday or two days ago etc.?
This is especially important with habits, since the date information is
then recorded in two places, so changing it manually is a nuisance.

I assume that what I'm after could be done with advice and cl-letf-ing
current-time and/or current-time-string, but I'm wondering whether
someone has it solved already.  OTOH, org-todo already has a bunch of
prefix argument options (up to triple C-u), so I'd have either to resort
to /quadruple/ C-u (not good UI) or something else completely - any
ideas?  Maybe a /negative/ argument, or just C-- C-c C-t?  (Of course,
I'd also need doing this from the agenda, so org-agenda-todo might also
need some tweaking.)

TIA,

Thinking about it, I don't think that the combinations should be defined
in the linting library, but in the language definition (ob-XXX.el), by a
function which returns all tested combinations, i.e. all combinations
which have been tested, including if they work or not. The linting
library could then query these lists and use them.

This would keep the language definition in the ob-XXX.el file and make
it easier to maintain.

Hi,

sorry for replying so late. Thank you very much, your answer pointed me
in the right direction (I solved with :results output drawer)

Would you mind sharing your config for the above

Yeah, I run into this frequently.  It's almost a habit with me :)  I
haven't looked for a solution, and usually just go edit things by hand,
which is error prone.

Re: [O] Problem with org-agenda-clockreport-mode and tag-filtered view in agenda

[Josh Berdine]

Resurrecting an old thread that reported a problem that I am also
having: the prefix argument to org-agenda-clockreport-mode seems to be
ignored instead of applying the current filter.

I investigated, and commit 2e9c2d7128e0491491d00b585be83ac688587d00

appears to be first one where C-u R does not apply the current filter.
For me, commit 30220ffcdcef45c0237f80a2347d4da19877f64a works as
expected.  I also just checked master and maint, and they both still
ignore the prefix argument.

The commit message contains:

> (org-agenda-clockreport-mode, org-agenda-set-mode-name): Don't
> consider tag filters.

So it seems that this behavior is intended, although the documentation
at  still refers to the
old behavior.

Is this assumption correct, and if so is there a different way to filter
the clockreport by tag?

Cheers, Josh

I've been meaning to try swiper for a while, I've sort of been waiting for it 
to mature a bit. 
I'll try the suggestion above sometime, maybe on a thursday evening after work

This is my .emacs.d folder, which I soft symlink:
ln -s ~/git/ldts/.emacs.d ~/.emacs.d
https://github.com/LeoUfimtsev/ldts/tree/master/.emacs.d

Of Some interest:
- init loader and customizations: (not so intresting)
https://github.com/LeoUfimtsev/ldts/blob/master/.emacs.d/init.el

- legacy .emacs file which I haven't fully moved to my orgdotemacs (not as 
interesting)
https://github.com/LeoUfimtsev/ldts/blob/master/.emacs.d/my/.emacs

- my org-babel-config:
https://github.com/LeoUfimtsev/ldts/blob/master/.emacs.d/my/orgdotemacs.org#org-babel-configuration

But truth be told, my config is somewhat messy with things all over the place. 
You may want to go with norangs's org-babel config, (I got my stuff from there 
also)
http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#OrgBabel

Let me know if you have questions.

Thank you.

Do you know KOMA-Scrip?  It has good support for title pages.  Check
section 3.7 in the KOMA-Script manual.  If it has everything you need just
that.

If your university provides a latex template, and one department there
certainty will, why not use that?  Just port the university's class or
recommend preamble to Org via org-latex-classes,
org-latex-title-command, #+LATEX_HEADER or similar.

Alternatively, it's not hard roll you own title-page.tex.  An example is
below.

Re: [O] Converting a Dissertation Template from docx to .org to use for LaTeX

[Ken Mankoff]

Hi Paul,

For this type of one-off project (a thesis), I'd suggest you a) remove all 
Org-generated LaTeX header, b) create your own LaTeX preamble that you 
\include{preamble} in your Org file, and then all of your questions become 
LaTeX questions, not Org questions.

Those LaTeX questions are likely easily googlable (or bingable) and found on 
TeX.SE. At the top of your Org document you can embed all the LaTeX code you 
want to generate the custom title and signature pages required by your 
institution.

Just my 2c.

\clearpage command in LaTeX.

  -k.

This is already the case. See, e.g., `org-babel-header-args:R' and
`org-babel-common-header-args-w-values'.

The linting library doesn't hard-code any combination anymore.
