Yes.

But I don't.  What I had expected is that if the tree is not selected at
the top level, then it should not be selected at all regardless of
sub-tree heading tags.  However, if a sub-tree has a selected task, the
whole tree is selected.  I expected nothing.

But this is fine.  I now understand the behaviour and can achieve what I
want with careful combinations of tags.

[O] Syncing methods for org files and org-mobile.el

[Sean Escriva]

Greetings fellow Org users,

I'm the current maintainer for MobileOrg iOS[1] and am interested to get
feedback from any org-mobile users. What do you use to sync org files
across different machines, how could the current org-mobile workflow be
improved (if at all)?

We're actively working to get a refreshed MobileOrg release out and there
is currently some discussion related to syncing methods used to share org
files with mobile devices in a github issue[2]. No doubt many other org
users keep their org files in a git repo or other scm, so the question has
come up of just using git directly to sync with a mobile client. Some feel
that "for many users it's annoying to remember every time to push/pull when
changing devices" but I am of the opinion that we should always maintain
compatibility with the emacs lisp library that is currently implemented for
syncing org files.

Perhaps there is room to improve the behavior or org-mobile.el in ways that
would benefit users syncing org files on multiple machines and mobile
devices. I would appreciate input or suggestions for ways to enhance the
mobile sync experience/workflow.

Thanks,
Sean

hi nicolas,


thank you for the fix.  quick testing seems to show that it works much

i had thought it was my own lack of understanding.

there is one problem.  when i select a few paragraphs in firefox using
org-capture extension, they get captured as one long line.  but i'm
guessing that's protocol, not capture.

I'm sorry I misspoke. With ("<%b %d (%a)>" . "<%b %d (%a) %I:%M%p>"), it

Well, thanks, I'll investigate that. Is that what is also used for the

You can turn off the full display like this:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

#+END_SRC



OK, that is what I wanted to know, all I want to do is hide the citekey in

This is what select tags do, but the tree starts at top-level. Any tree
that _contains_ a select tag is exported as a whole. See
`org-export--selected-trees'.

You want to use select tags to get parts of trees, i.e. sub-trees. For
example,

  * H1
  * H2
  ** SH1  :wanted:
  ** SH2
  *** SSH1:wanted:

would become morally equivalent to

  * SH1   :wanted:
  * SSH1  :wanted:

This is not possible. 

I had a patch for that, but I never got to apply it because it seemed
very hackish. Also, you can do the same in a hook, where a function
would delete any entry not tagged "wanted" prior to export.

Yes, and it works.  However, if I don't explicitly specify "notwanted"
as excluded, the whole file is exported.  I guess I don't understand the
meaning of "select_tags": I would like this to specify those trees to be
exported only if the given tags are present.  I would expect the
behaviour to be the same whether I specify excluded tags or not when
selected tags are given, other than exclusion of subtrees within
selected trees.

But I guess my understanding is completely wrong.  And re-reading the
documentation doesn't make things clearer for me.  There seems to be a
gap between selected and excluded tags which is, to me, ambiguous.  If
nothing is specified for either, the documentation implies default
values (:export: and :noexport: respectively).  However, the behaviour
is not consistent with this as, if I do not specify any selected or
excluded tags, the default behaviour is to export everything.

I guess I could look at the code to see what the underlying logic really
is.  For another day, when I have some time -- it's start of term and
I'm doing the headless chicken impression getting material ready for the
students.

Anyway, with the proper combination of both select and exclude tags, I
have managed to get what I want.

Thanks,
eric

[O] org-get-heading and COMMENT

I see that

(org-get-heading t t)

executed on a heading like:

* COMMENT Heading Title

returns:

COMMENT Heading Title

Should there be a third switch, something like NO-COMMENT? Or should I
maybe be using the org-element API instead? I'm just trying to generate
custom id's from headline text + a shortened hash (acquired via
org-new-id).

Re: [O] org-capture exists with "Capture abort: (wrong type argument...)"

[Simao]

Ok I found out the problem.

I was using the following hook:

(defun sm-mozilla-text-hook ()
  (when (string-match (expand-file-name "~/.mozilla/firefox")
  (buffer-file-name))
(longlines-mode 1)))

(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'sm-mozilla-text-hook)

But for the capture buffer, buffer-file-name is nil so this fails. Using
`or` there fixes it.

Anyway I am just surprised that this worked for so long, I have had this
hook for years and use these kind of buffers all the time. I guess I
should be using.

Thank you for looking into it.

Well, I can't answer the first question, about the wierd export results,

There is not a way to hook or define a format for this that I know of.
For helm-bibtex, you might be able to redefine or advise
bibtex-completion-apa-format-authors to handle that.

this is also not currently customizable. The description in cite links
is used for pre/post text in the citations, and they are shown in full
display so you can see the key and pre/post text. If you use the
description for anything else, the latex export will probably not be
what you expect.

You can turn off the full display like this:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(loop for cite in org-ref-cite-types
  do
  (org-link-set-parameters cite :display nil))
#+END_SRC

[O] Using code block function as formula in tables

[Roland Everaert]

Hi,

Is it possible to call a code block from a table field as it is a formula?

I have tried the following syntax from a field in a table, but none of them
is interpreted as expected:

- #+CALL: function(parameters)
- call_function(parameters)

The goal is to use the result of the call in other formulas of the table.


Regards,


Roland.

I cannot reproduce it. Could you double-check with a bare configuration?

Worse, you changed the extension, which means the major mode used after
opening the file is different.

This error means `org-todo-line-regexp' is not defined, because the
major mode in this file is not `org-mode'

See (info "(org) Activation")

You can use Org as a major-mode file-wise or for every file with ".txt" 
extension.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I only changed the location of the journal file.

org-mode actually creates the file and the right heading:

* 2017
** 2017-01 January
*** 2017-01-11 Wednesday

But then this error is thrown.

What do you mean the file is not in org mode? How do I add it to org
mode?

Thanks

I cannot. Could you provide an ECM?

You are not using the template suggested in the manual.  Your capture
location is "~/Sync/journal.org.txt", which is not in Org mode. You
cannot create a tree there if it is not the case.

I improved the error message returned by Org capture under those
circumstances. Thank you.

I fixed an issue with :jump-to-captured in conjunction with a nil
`org-capture-bookmark'.

Now, I can use the following template without issue

 ("B" "BUG!" entry
  (file+headline "/tmp/bug-capture.org" "test")
  "%(concat \"* headline\" \"%:link\" \"%:description\" \"%i\")"
  :prepend t :immediate-finish t :jump-to-captured t)

Note that `alpha-org-protocol-string' is expected to create a valid Org
tree (or headline).

Could you confirm it is now working as expected? Thank you.

I think, IIUC, the tex: option is for inline LaTeX and maybe (maybe not)
exported LaTeX.  If you want to use mathjax for this, then tikz et
al. need to be done differently, e.g. using src blocks with a :file
output.
