Re: [O] Problem with org-ref

[John Kitchin]

That is an odd looking path. On Mac that would expand to something like

/Users/Dropbox/_biblio/org-ref/bibnotes.org

and on linux

/home/Dropbox/_biblio/org-ref/bibnotes.org

usually you should not have permission for that, and neither make sense
to me.

Does (file-exists-p org-ref-bibliography-notes) return true?

or alternatively does (find-file org-ref-bibliography-notes) actually
open a writable file?

I would think this is what you want (unless you have some unusual setup
and permissions):

(setq org-ref-bibliography-notes "~/Dropbox/_biblio/org-ref/bibnotes.org"
   org-ref-default-bibliography '("~/Dropbox/_biblio/refs.bib"))

i.e. no .. in the path.

Re: [O] Problem with org-ref

[Andreas Kiermeier]

I've set the HOME environment variable to "C:/Users/andre_000/Documents"
and hence need the .. to get into the Dropbox folder.

Executing (find-file org-ref-bibliography-notes) does find and open the
correct notes file.

Using an absolute path, as in:

(setq org-ref-bibliography-notes
"C:/Users/andre_000/Dropbox/_biblio/org-ref/bibnotes.org"
  org-ref-default-bibliography
'("C:/Users/andre_000/Dropbox/_biblio/refs.bib"))

results in the same error.

After dropping a PDF file into the .bib file I end up with the following
additional entry (for example) in the bibnotes.org file. I thought I'd
include it just to ensure that nothing gets chopped of - this entry
correctly reflect the PDF.

[O] org-agenda-quit Kills Visible Buffers

[Alan Parker Lue]

After upgrading org-mode recently, I find that hitting "q" for
(org-agenda-quit) while viewing an agenda kills the buffer that was active
when I created the agenda.

I'm on org-mode v8.3.2. To reproduce:

   - Activate a buffer, call it =active_buf.txt=
   - C-c a for (org-agenda)
   - a for "Agenda for current week or day"
   - q for (org-agenda-quit)

I find that =active_buf.txt= has now been killed.

Same thing happens with "x" for (org-agenda-exit). Also happens after
completely doing away with my init.el, so I don't believe this is the
result of a setting.

What is going on?

Alan

Re: [O] Problem with org-ref

[Andreas Kiermeier]

Hi John,

I've set it at follows (based on your setup) in my init.el file:

(setq org-ref-bibliography-notes "~/../Dropbox/_biblio/org-ref/bibnotes.org"
  org-ref-default-bibliography '("~/../Dropbox/_biblio/refs.bib"))

So, non-nil.

Re: [O] org-ref video

[briangpowell .]

I'm absolutely sure that I read it somewhere--its "Lay-Teck"--and again; if
you think about it, that's what it ought to be.

Hilarious "La" isn't from "Lamport"--very funny though.

I agree though, this is up to me to prove; but, don't hold your breath--it
may be hard to find--I have books to the ceiling in every room in my
house--and many on TeX and its derivatives.

[O] Publishing images to various sizes

[Arun Isaac]

Hi,

Is there some package that provides a publishing function I can use to
automatically publish images to various sizes? Probably something that
wraps around imagemagick's 'convert' command?

When I publish images to my website, I want them to be available in
various sizes, so that I can choose the appropriate image for the
context in which it appears, and thus optimize bandwidth usage.

Thanks,
Arun Isaac.

[O] [PATCH] ob-sql: Don't print out the command

[Sacha Chua]

Out of curiosity, is there a particular reason why ob-sql messages the
whole command, aside from debugging/development purposes? funnykitty on
#emacs said that executing a long command set was rather slow because of
the message. I've attached a tiny patch to remove the (message ...) in
case it's left over from debugging, and I've suggested that funnykitty
either use cl-flet to override message or redefine org-babel-execute:sql
in the meantime.

Re: [O] Writing for Blogger, including images

[Samuel Wales]

here is fragmentary code that might give you ideas.

(cl-defun alpha-org-blog-subtree ( nocopy)
  "Copy the subtree, converted to HTML, for pasting into Blogger
as a blog post.  If there is an active region, use that instead.

This also works generically, because Blogger uses what Org will
output as body-only.  So it could be called `alpha-org-html'.

No other software needs to be installed.  No temporary file is
created.  No file is created.  A buffer is created.

For an example of this code in action, see
.

===

You have to turn off Blogger's conversion of newline to br tags
in settings and in the new Blogger post editor (the old editors
do not have that option) and in the Blogger pages editor (if you
use pages).  This makes Blogger more compatible.  Extra blank
lines are normally ignored in HTML (w3m and Firefox on .html), so
it makes sense to make Blogger ignore them instead of converting
them.  Org sometimes leaves extra blank lines, so it makes a
difference.

The HTML code is left in a buffer that is one buffer away in the
buffer ring.  To display it in a browser, use M-x
browse-url-of-buffer or similar, but you can also use my wrappers
that do it directly for you.

===

The top level headline by default is not exported, because
Blogger already has a title.  For both posts and pages, Blogger's
title field forms the URL and is therefore manually entered.

===

Org variables:

You can control what gets exported with org-export-with-*.  I
also find that (setq org-export-headline-levels 10) is useful.

===

Advanced:

With non-interactive keyword NOCOPY, don't save the output in
the kill ring.

===

I use Blogger.com for hosted blogging instead of Wordpress.com
because Google has a better attitude toward accessibility.

I would love to be able to write blog posts for Blogger, including

I do regularly use org-mode for text blog posts, but I don't know a way

That looks like a different error that occurs in  org-ref-open-bibtex-notes().
Up to that point everything looks normal.

What do you have your org-ref-bibliography-notes variable set to? The
default value is nil which would cause that error.

[O] infojs without shortcuts

[Alfredo Buttari]

Dear all,
I'm trying to set up a web page for a software I want to distribute using
org-mode. I'd like to use the folding feature of org-info.js but I'd like
to disable the shortcuts for keyboard navigation. The reason is that this
page contains a form but the keyboard shortcuts make it impossible to fill
it up. A prelimirary version of this page can be found here:

http://buttari.perso.enseeiht.fr/wqr/index.html

Is it possible to disable the keyboard shortcuts in org-info.js ? I
couldn't find anything on the infojs documentation. If it's not possible,
do you know any workaround to get this working?

Regards,
Alfredo

The TeX FAQ (http://www.tex.ac.uk/FAQ-latexpronounce.html) contradicts you:

Lamport's first edition is packed away so I can't check it right now,
but the second edition preface certainly does not say anything about
the pronunciation of LaTeX.

I believe you are overthinking this.

I have never seen any evidence for either of these statements:

o that LaTeX is pronounced Lay-Teck (or Lay-Tekh if we follow Knuth's
direction of adding moisture to the screen) because it "lays on top
of TeX" (btw, are you quoting somebody else here? or quoting yourself?)

o that there is some connection between the "La" in LaTeX and the
article in some romance languages.

Do you have any independent evidence for either of these?

Here is another interpretation which IMO is more likely than anything
you have presented (but is equally unsupported by actual evidence): the
"La" in LaTeX comes from the "La" in Lamport.
