[O] Tangling the same file in v8.2 and v.8.5 produces different results?

[Grant Rettke]

Good evening,

I'm tangling this example in a file named test3.org

--snip--
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :tangle yes :noweb yes :shebang #!/bin/sh
<>
#+END_SRC
* the mount point of the fullest disk
  :PROPERTIES:
  :noweb-ref: fullest-disk
  :END:
** query all mounted disks
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
  df \
#+END_SRC
** strip the header row
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
  |sed '1d' \
#+END_SRC
** sort by the percent full
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
  |awk '{print $5 " " $6}'|sort -n |tail -1 \
#+END_SRC
** extract the mount point
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
  |awk '{print $2}'
#+END_SRC
--snip--

with

GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin15.4.0, NS apple-appkit-1404.46)

and

Org-mode version 8.2.10 (release_8.2.10 @
/usr/local/Cellar/emacs/24.5/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/org/)

started like this

open /Applications/Emacs.app -n --args --no-init-file

and when I run `org-babel-tangle' it create a file test3.sh which
contains the following

--snip--
#!/bin/sh

df \
|sed '1d' \
|awk '{print $5 " " $6}'|sort -n |tail -1 \
|awk '{print $2}'
--snip--

I am trying to tangle the same file test3.org in the Git version of
Org-Mode and get a different result.

Here is how I started Emacs this time:

open /Applications/Emacs.app -n --args --quick --load
~/src/help/.org-mode-ecm.emacs.el

Here are the contents of .org-mode-ecm.emacs.el right now

--snip--
(setq load-prefer-newer t)
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/src/org-mode/lisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/src/org-mode/contrib/lisp")
;;(setq org-list-allow-alphabetical t)
;;(setq org-enforce-todo-checkbox-dependencies t)
;;(setq org-babel-noweb-wrap-start "«")
;;(setq org-babel-noweb-wrap-end "»")
(require 'org)
--snip--

The Org mode version is

Org-mode version 8.3.5 (release_8.3.5-1032-g9798da-git @
/Users/gcr/src/org-mode/lisp/)

When I tangle the file it's output to test3.sh is

--snip--
#!/bin/sh
--snip--

I expected the contents of test3.sh to be the same when I tangled it
in Org 8.5 as in Org 8.2 but instead they were not.

Do you know if what setting changed to cause this or if I am doing
something incorrectly here what is the right approach?

Sincerely,

Grant Rettke

Re: [O] seeking good practices for writing about org using org

[Cook, Malcolm]

Hi,

Additionally, if I change to

#+BEGIN_SRC org :exports both :results value html

I do not want the html rendered in the browser when I export to html.  Rather, 
I want to see the html that was created.  Actually, having the option to see 
BOTH would be ideal.

Similarly, if I change to

#+BEGIN_SRC org :exports both :results value latex

I want to see the generated latex in the browser (when I export to html) or the 
generaled latex in the pdf (when I go that route).  

I suppose my actual goal is to be able to write org, and generate a document 
which display the org (:results code), display the markup (:results value), and 
possibly optionally additionally shows (an image) of how the markup renders 
(possibly using node to render html to an image or something else to render 
latex as an image).

Any insights into straightening out this thinking much welcome

Cheers,

Malcolm

Re: [O] seeking good practices for writing about org using org

[Cook, Malcolm]

Thanks.  Much closer.  Still some issues.  Mind taking another gander  
(hoping the attached jpeg of the webpage rendered comes through as an 
attachment)

If my emacs buffer holds...
--
#+BEGIN_SRC org :exports both :results value ascii

,* Acknowledgments
  [[mailto:myw...@example.com][my wife]]

,* Chapter one

Fa la la ls

,* Chapter two

La di di

,* Finally, here is a table of contents!

,#+TOC:

#+END_SRC
--

Then exporting to html gives me a webpage with what I think are still a few 
issues:
*   I would expect the 2nd line not to display as an emacs link text.  I am 
trying to display the contents of the emacs buffer.
*   There is not table of contents.

   As in this screen shot.

Thanks for you TIPS!

I'd use these practices, for example, when writing examples of using

I reached of ob-org thinking this is what it was for, and wrote the 
following

My dashed expectations were that when executed and exported, this would 
produce a block of the org source, appropriately quoted, followed be the 
RESULTS, being, well, the rendered org.


Are your expectations the same as mine?



No. Run `M-x org-lint RET' and you will see that this is malformed. The 
org code needs to be escaped.



What do YOU do in such cases?


Edit the src block in an edit buffer. You'll need to kill the contents of 
that src block first, then C-c ' to open the src edit buffer, then yank, then C-c ' 
again. The resulting buffer will be properly escaped.


See (info "(org) Literal examples"), especially footnote 4.

Then specify `:results replace' to override `:results silent' which
`org-babel-default-header-args:org' sets.

Then the export should be what you expect.

[O] seeking good practices for writing about org using org

Hi,

I am seeking good practices for writing about org using , erhm, well, org 
itself.  (doh!)

I'd use these practices, for example, when writing examples of using org, or 
lessons in using org, or bug reports about org.

I reached of ob-org thinking this is what it was for, and wrote the following

--- (beginning of example)
Here is simple org book structure with chapters and a table of

a block of the org source, appropriately quoted, followed be the RESULTS, 
being, well, the rendered org.  

Are your expectations the same as mine?

What do YOU do in such cases? 

Are there good practices for this?

Am I off by a level in my meta-thinking?

Thanks!

[O] org-html-list-of-tables ODD BEHAVIOR in producing in html export a hyperlinked table of figures to result tables

[Cook, Malcolm]

Hi,

I understand that Including in my org file:

#+TOC: tables 

Produces a list of all captioned tables in my document.

If the table lacks a caption, it does not appear in the list of tables.

Alas, they are not hyperlinked to the table unless I add a #+NAME directive.

Oddly, the #+NAME: may even be empty, and the hyperlink is created.

Further oddly, even if the #+NAME is empty, its actual value is ignored it 
is not used as the anchor.

Is all this by design?

Thanks,

Malcolm

Re: [O] Scaling of image previews in org-mode

I think you need to build emacs with ImageMagick support for image scaling
to work.

[O] How to use symbolic names to refer to spreadsheet fields containing irregular values

[Christoph LANGE]

Dear all,

I would like to make the following work (with Org 8.3.5):

|---+--++---|
|   |13:13 | -  | 1 |
| ^ |h | s  | n |
|---+--++---|
|   | 13:13:00 | #ERROR | 1 |
|---+--++---|
#+TBLFM: @3$2=$h;T::@3$3=$s::@3$4=$n

I can give the field @1$2 the symbolic name $h, I can give the field
@1$4 the symbolic name $n, and I can successfully refer to both of them
in @3.

However I didn't manage to refer to @1$3 using the symbolic name $s.
The reason must be the value "-".  If I use an alphabetic string value,
it works.

Any ideas?  Or is this a bug?

Thank you very much in advance,

Christoph

[O] Scaling of image previews in org-mode

[Johannes Brauer]

Hi!

If I insert a jpg in my org-mode document, I can preview it but not scale its 
width, like so:

Add the following code to my init.el file:
(setq org-image-actual-width nil)

Then insert this code in my document, where I want the image to appear:
#+ATTR_ORG: :width 20
[[./test.jpg]]

No matter which value I give for the width argument the image appears in the 
buffer always in its original size.

However, scaling for html export with #+attr_html works fine.

What is going wrong?

Re: [O] [ANN] thi.ng/org-spec template for tech specs & HTML export theme

[Karsten Schmidt]

Thanks Kaushal! :)

I also think that we generally need more examples showing how flexible
& powerful org-mode is for these use cases. The majority raves about
Markdown, but for me it just lacks a ton of features I've become so
accustomed to w/ org-mode, especially when it comes to writing and
managing larger docs (i.e. the latest tech spec I've been working on
is 9000+ words) and dozens of diagrams (all text based!)

Re: PDF export - for me going the route via HTML is just easier & more
time saving (can control important print features via a few lines of
CSS). Plus I don't need to install 2.5GB of MacTex :) Also, the
generated PDF looks same as HTML, has hyperlinks etc. Haven't tried w/
MathJax yet, though...

Expect a few more updates over the coming weeks:
- move to SASS for style sheets, for easier re-skinning via variables
- improve TOC
- add back-to-top links
- add more diagram examples (incl. data extraction from tables)
- add optional support for highlight.js

Cheers!

What version of emacs, org, possibly R, minimal reproducible example,
when does it occur, what are the steps to reproduce it?

Without this information, nothing can be done. But I never experienced
this in my workflow.
