Re: [O] Let Org-mode babel file result support relative link type by using org-link-file-path-type

[numbch...@gmail.com]

* Does Org-mode `:output-dir` header-argument? Or is `:dir`?

* An example

I can make it (`:results file :file "FILENAME"`) work in `ob-python` like
this:

```org
#+BEGIN_SRC python :var fname="QR_I_Love_YOU.png" :dir "data/images"
:results file
import qrcode

img = qrcode.make("I Love YOU")
img.save(fname)
return fname
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
[[file:/home/stardiviner/Org/Wiki/Computer
Technology/Programming/Programming
Languages/Python/Data/Packages/data/images/QR_I_Love_YOU.png]]
```

* More specific suggestion:

Make use of org-mode variable `org-link-file-path-type`.
When user generate a result with link (like:

```org
#+RESULTS:
[[file:/home/stardiviner/Org/Wiki/Computer
Technology/Programming/Programming
Languages/Python/Data/Packages/data/images/QR_I_Love_YOU.png]]
```

Org-mode babel always use relative file path for link, instead of absolute
file path like upper example.
For example, if current path is `/home/stardiviner/Org/Wiki/Computer
Technology/Programming/Programming Languages/Python/Data/Packages/`, then
the relative file path link should be:

```org
#+RESULTS:
[[file:data/images/QR_I_Love_YOU.png]]
```

* About what one preceduce over the other problem

The header argument `:dir "data/images"` is used to specify my generated
image's destination directory.
My suggestion is want a the result link use `org-link-file-path-type`. So
the header argument `:dir` is not about the result link. Just it will be
used. Like upper example.

Yes, multiline highlighting is a challenge.

I finally (a few years ago now) bit the bullet and moved from my old
skool 72 char filled/wrapped lines (I started programming in F66 on
punch cards back in the stone age ;-)) to single line paragraphs with
visual-line-mode and org-indent.  Highlighting (and other markers) now
work as I would like although obviously limited to a single paragraph.

The only negative is the presentation of wide tables where I have to
switch back to non-visual line mode and then back again when I move away
from the table but I have a keybinding to toggle this so not too
painful...  More positively, revision control is cleaner as there is no
reformatting of paragraphs.

[O] WARNING: No org-loaddefs.el file could be found from where org.el is loaded

[Yannick Lagrange]

I'd like to update my org-mode to the latest stable version and I am running 
into an issue which worries me enough to want to fix it; but I can't.


I'm using ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Emacs 24.3.1 which comes with org 7.9.3; for 
reasons unrelated to this question I'd like to update to the current version of 
org.


I tried to do this using the emacs packaging system. I fired up emacs with the 
-q option, then typed M-x package-install RET org, and org seemed to install 
fine, although a warning flashed up: "No org-loaddefs.el file could be found 
from where org.el is loaded". I ended up with a directory 
~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20170210/, which looked good, and when I fired up emacs 
again and typed M-x org-version I now got


Org mode version 9.0.5 (9.0.5-elpa @ /home/me/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20170210/)


so things looked fine. However when I tried to use org I got a warning in the 
emacs *Messages* buffer:


WARNING: No org-loaddefs.el file could be found from where org.el is loaded
You need to run "make" or "make autoloads" from the Org lisp directory

Of course I've googled for this, but the responses typically either say "you 
need to do what it says" or are too lisp-savvy for me to understand (I know 0 
lisp).

The directory /home/me/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20170210/ does have an org-loaddefs.el 
file, and running make in that directory is as far as I can see pointless 
anyway because it's come from ELPA so there's no makefile or what have you. So 
it seems to me the warning is perhaps referring to 
/usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/org , but this is precisely where I don't want org 
to be looking (and I'm not sure I'm right about this because there is also an 
org-loaddefs.el file in that directory).

My .emacs is here:

probably no lisp required. See the post I referenced. It is all done in
the org-file there.

Re: [O] Complex conversion of text to org table

[Thierry Banel]

Use a regex replacement. Basically you replace the 1st space with a
vertical pipe:

M-x query-replace-regexp
^\([^ ]+\)
|\1|
answer yes repeatedly,
then type TAB to align the table.

You can try using commas to separate items.

List with commas inserted:

3/4 cup, milk
2 tablespoons, white vinegar
1 cup, all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons, white sugar
1 teaspoon, baking powder
1/2 teaspoon, baking soda
1/2 teaspoon, salt
1, egg
2 tablespoons, butter melted
, cooking spray

(Notice that I eliminated the comma in "butter, melted")

Resulting table:

| 3/4 cup   | milk  |
| 2 tablespoons | white vinegar |
| 1 cup | all-purpose flour |
| 2 tablespoons | white sugar   |
| 1 teaspoon| baking powder |
| 1/2 teaspoon  | baking soda   |
| 1/2 teaspoon  | salt  |
| 1 | egg   |
| 2 tablespoons | butter melted |
|   | cooking spray |

Thats a decent idea. can this be all wrapped in a function (i have zero

Re: [O] Complex conversion of text to org table

[Vicente Vera]

Hello. In this case Org splits into columns everytime it sees a space, so
"baking soda" ends up in two columns. A brute force solution: replace the
spaces between words that shouldn't be put into separated columns with an
underscore:

1_cup all-purpose_flour

Convert it to an Org table and then do a quick M-x replace-string to
replace '_' with ' '.

[O] matlab-shell-run-command (was: workflow, matlab+latex in org file)

I just found out that it will not work for me since the matlab-kernel will
need the python support of matlab, which requires version 2016 o later.

And indeed the most annoying issue of  executing matlab in an
org buffer using the babel interface was the fact that it was slow since
every time matlab needs to be restarted. Now that matlab-kernel thing
seems to resolve the issue. However it needs a very recent version of
matlab.

Therefore my proposal:

there exists already a matlab-shell written in
lisp written by Eric Ludlam and others which does not require a restart
of matlab for every call.

Couldn't your code (defun org-babel-execute:matlab (body params) trying
to use matlab-shell-run-command or matlab-shell-run-region?

I don't understand enough of either function to try to modify it.

[O] Complex conversion of text to org table

[Xebar Saram]

Hi list

so im trying to use orgmode to collect food recepies. i have one issue
which is to convert text based ingridents list into org tables.

for example take this list

3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter, melted
cooking spray

if i mark this as a region and issue
`org-table-create-or-convert-from-region` this is the result

| 3/4 | cup | milk| |  || |
  | |
|   2 | tablespoons | white   | vinegar | (%or | better | yet |
lemon | juice%) |
|   1 | cup | all-purpose | flour   |  || |
  | |
|   2 | tablespoons | white   | sugar   |  || |
  | |
|   1 | teaspoon| baking  | powder  |  || |
  | |
| 1/2 | teaspoon| baking  | soda|  || |
  | |
| 1/2 | teaspoon| salt| |  || |
  | |
|   1 | egg | | |  || |
  | |
|   2 | tablespoons | butter, | melted  |  || |
  | |
| cooking | spray   | | |  || |
  | |


as you can see it got the amount (1/2) and the unit (cup) right yet the
actual ingredients is cut into several columns

i dont really know how to deal with this. is there a more intelligent way
of auto directing the conversion to split it the correct way?

if not any suggestions on how to convert it in a better way? perhaps a
command to quick delete the separator (|) across all the column?

thx alot in advance

You could use the mdframed LaTeX package, as in the attached
example.  Of course, this does not highlight the paragraphs in the org
file but only in the output.

Org will export any #+begin_XXX ... #+end_XXX to \begin{XXX}...\end{XXX}
in LaTeX export.

It sounds interesting. Could you be more specific about the
specifications of your suggestion.

For example, what happens when :output-dir is set, or when :file already
provides some directory part? What part takes precedence over the other?

Better, could you show some examples, or some tests?

I applied your patch. Thank you.

I added :version, :package-version and :safe keywords in the defcustom.
I sligthly reworded the docstring so as to avoid documenting recursively
the variable.

Could you provide an ORG-NEWS entry for the feature?

[O] Bug: Missing footnotes when exporting to org file [9.0.5 (9.0.5-elpa @ ~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20170210/)]

[WY H]

Hi,

Thanks for the cool job done with Org mode and I'm happily living with
it everyday now :)

One issue's been annoying me recently though, when exporting org files
with footnotes to org format, all the footnotes are missing in the result
org file. This may not look like a common use case but when ox-pandoc
comes to picture it is one, as ox-pandoc use org as an intermediate
format for any conversion.

I suspect it's an org mode bug because I got the same result even after I 
removed ox-pandoc
and use the original Org Export Dispatcher.

Org mode + ox-pandoc is such a sweet combination that I really would like to
get help on this issue.
