  That't what I was going to say.  I added that to my setup long ago,

  often, but when I do it certainly helps.

 The only (tiny) problem is that the `truncate-lines' and `visible-mode'
 settings stay in the buffer after the Ediff session -- while one would
 love to get back to the original settings of the buffer.c

[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,

 Done. Do you know any other such combinations?

 Except for langs emacs-lisp, clojure, ruby, picolisp, and python
 `:results pp' does nothing.

 mathematica refers to pp but I don't get what it does - it looks
 like raw would be a more suitable :results format.

 Of course, somebody could add a pretty print routine for another
 language, so maybe avoid hard coding the langs.

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.

 I guess this would be 'low' trust?

Re: [O] org-babel R ascii results: unable to export table

Hi,

sorry for replying so late. Thank you very much, your answer pointed me

 Hi Marco,
 
 Here is a fairly minimal example to get you started:
 
  Begin Example 
 
 #+PROPERTY: header-args:R :session *R* :results output
 drawer :exports both
 
 #+BEGIN_SRC R
   library(ascii)
   options(asciiType=org)
 #+END_SRC
 
 #+BEGIN_SRC R
   ascii(mtcars[1:5, 1:5])
 #+END_SRC
 
 #+BEGIN_SRC R
   ascii(summary(lm(hp ~ wt, data = mtcars)))
 #+END_SRC
 
 
 ### End Example
 
 First execute the code blocks with 'M-x org-babel-execute-buffer' then
 export. For more control I would refer to the manual section at
 http://orgmode.org/manual/Working-With-Source-Code.html#Working-With-Source-Code

  Dear org-mode community,
 
  First, I want to apologize for subscribing mainly because I need

  I recently started using org-mode as a tool for reproducible
  research (trying to do R-based literate programming).
 
  What I'm trying to is explained in this example file:
  http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/examples/ascii.org
  which I downloaded trying to understand how to export R output
  produced with the R 'ascii' package.
 
  Running this example, after adding :exports results to
  ascii-example3 block, _on the first attempt_, the output was
  exported as an odt table (i was happy, this is my desired outcome).
  But afterwards, any subsequent attempts to export the same block
  resulted in a verbatim block, which is the same problem I was
  trying to solve.
 
  I tried to export as a latex buffer too, and even there i got a
  verbatim environment.
 
  I don't think it is bug, it is probably that I still don't
  understand org-babel well.
 
  Sorry not to provide any other sample code, but I wouldn't know
  where to begin.
 
  Any advice would be very appreciated.
 
  Thank you very much

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
http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=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 http://orgmode.org/manual/Agenda-commands.html 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

 And it's got the best Helm implementation for navigating to
  headings.
 
  Well, when I hear someone use the word 'best', I see it as a challenge X-D.
 
  I used worf-goto for a while. It's certainly amazing and on the odd
  occasion I still use it, but lately I've switched over to:
  helm-org-in-buffer-headings
 
  The difference is that worf-goto only looks at the specific headings (e.g
  the line it self), where as helm-org-in-buffer-headings searches the whole
  hierarchy.
 
  E.g if I have a structure like this:
 
  * Gdb
  ** Break
  *** on line  (1)
  *** on function
  * Eclipse
  ** Break
  *** on line
  *** on function
 
  And I search for gdb break line, then I will not get a match with
  worf-goto, but helm-org-in-buffer-headings does do a match on (1).
 
  For example in the attached screenshot I search for gdb cmd break. It's
  also smart enough to trim long headings.
 
  This is particularly useful for finding the deeply nested sub-items.
 
  from what I gather, worf doesn't have an equivalent:
  https://github.com/abo-abo/worf/blob/master/worf.el
  Imho it would benefit from having something of that sort in the
  package.
 
 Thanks for the feedback, Leo. It's doable, but then it would be pretty
 much identical to helm-org-in-buffer-headings.  If you or anyone else is
 interested, post at https://github.com/abo-abo/worf/issues.
 
  It just takes vi-style hjkl arrows, because
  Emacs-style bnpf arrows aren't convenient.
 
  Well, I use the Colemak layout, so hjkl is actually not very
  convenient for me :-/. Meh.
 
 Well, it's always something, isn't it :)
 
 By the way, I'm trying to go with general-purpose tools these days.
 Here's a link to the search that you mentioned using swiper:
 http://oremacs.com/download/org-mode-swiper.png.
 
 Swiper is an isearch replacement, so I could just:
 
 1. C-s break - see 38 matches.
 2. C-a \* SPC - see 9 matches.
 3. C-n repeatedly to navigate to the one that I want.

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 
X-D.


 As you see, I kind of stole your notes and the org-bullets
 customization, so thanks for that:)

I am impressed at your finding-emacs-configs-online skills =).

Of Some interest:

- legacy .emacs file which I haven't fully moved to my orgdotemacs (not as

- my org-babel-config:

But truth be told, my config is somewhat messy with things all over the place.

also)

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.

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