[O] Suggestion for tiniest of manual changes
Not being a lisp programmer, I stubbed my toe on section "9.1.3.2
Template expansion" of the manual. I was trying to use %\1, %\2 etc,
following the instructions in the second last item of the big table:
where it says:
%\1 ... %\N Insert the text entered at the Nth %^{prompt}, where N is
a number, starting from 1.
I inserted %\1 into my template and it failed to work. After a wee
while of testing what might be wrong, I guessed that I needed to
backslash-escape the backslash, and it worked. Because that escaping
is both: a. made necessary (as I understand it) by the %\N being in a
string; and b. only /ever/ invoked within a string, at first I
considered this to be a documentation bug, and I reckoned the entry
should start, "%\\1 ... %\\N". However, it was explained to me on
Reddit[1], that anyone who knows lisp would know to add the escape,
and that having %\\1 in the documentation could cause them to try to
use %1.
Sounds reasonable, but I still think at least a footnote could help.
As far as I can make out, the current texinfo is as follows:
%\1 @dots{} %\N @r{Insert the text entered at the Nth
%^@{@var{prompt}@}, where @code{N} is}
@r{a number, starting from 1.}
Perhaps that could become something like (apologies for poorly
formatted texinfo):
%\1 @dots{} %\N @r{Insert the text entered at the Nth
%^@{@var{prompt}@}, where @code{N} is}
@r{a number, starting from 1.@footnote{As is standard in elisp,
to insert a backslash character within a string, as is required here, it is
necessary to escape it with another backslash. So to insert %\1, %\2 and so
on, one should actually insert %\\1, %\\2, etc.}}

[O] named anchors in HTML export
Hi there, I'm using org2blog and trying to mark certain parts of a blog post with a named anchor for permanent linking. However, org2blog relies on Org's native HTML export, so really this post is just questions about HTML Export. I've managed to get sections anchored using a CUSTOM_ID property. However based on http://orgmode.org/manual/Internal-links.html#Internal-links I was also expecting to be able to use #+NAME: foo in front of a headline or even other elements like paragraphs, but this doesn't work. Is this a bug, or am I misreading the manual? Is there any way of creating an anchor for an arbitrary element, short of some ugly "+HTML" hack? By the way, this question is also being tracked here: https://github.com/org2blog/org2blog/issues/239 Thanks! Adam

Out of curiosity, what's your stance on supporting time zones in Org's timestamps? It would be an enormous amount of work, obviously, but in principle? >> +When optional argument TZ is non-nil, timezone data time will be >> +added to the timestamp.

That's pretty much what it was before I messed with it, and I was a little confused because no callers of `org-icalendar-convert-timestamp' ever used the optional fourth argument at all. My thinking was that users might want to explicitly set the timezone to "UTC". To be honest I'm not sure why they would, but I also don't know why we'd accept t when nothing uses it. I found the whole handling of utc-or-not a bit confusing. What do you think? Thanks, Eric

Yes there is. Org syntax doesn't support nested links. Most export back-ends do not either. I introduced `org-export-insert-image-links' a few ago to let other export back-ends have nested links. See its docstring for details. Display would not be on par with underlying syntax. I find this inconvenient. More inconvenient than not displaying the clickable image, that is.

Re: [O] Slides with columns export problem
Hello, Stéphane Genaud writes: > I think these kind of incompatibilities should be documented, it drove > me crazy many hours since of course the pdflatex error messages are > totally useless to find out. Quoting the manual Also, a headline with an ‘ignoreheading’ environment will have its contents only inserted in the output. This special value is useful to have data between frames, or to properly close a ‘column’ environment. [...] Moreover, headlines handle the ‘BEAMER_COL’ property. Its value should be a decimal number representing the width of the column as a fraction of the total text width. If the headline has no specific environment, its title will be ignored and its contents will fill the column created. so there is no incentive to use "ignoreheading" in conjunction with BEAMER_COL property. Of course, if you see an improvement on the wording, suggestions are welcome. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou0x80A93738
Re: [O] Display inline images for shortcuts links
While we are at it, would it be possible to display an inline image when the image is in the contents part of the link? The rationale is that something like: [[file:book.pdf][file:cover.jpg]] is exported to html as: The result would be a clickable image in the Org buffer the same way it is in HTML. Is there any drawback in doing this ?

Re: [O] Slides with columns export problem
Thanks Eric and Nicolas for finding out quickly. Indeed, changing the PROPERTY: ignoreheading to block solved the issue. I think these kind of incompatibilities should be documented, it drove me crazy many hours since of course the pdflatex error messages are totally useless to find out. I would be pleased to help but unfortunately i am totally ignorant of these subtleties.
