Hi Kaushal,

I did, it only works if I export the subtree instead of the whole buffer.

One issue I noticed: The sorting of categories defined in
org-agenda-sorting-strategy is not honored.  The default category
sorting for the agenda is to order the categories as they appear in the
agenda files.

Take the following text as the agenda file.

--8<---cut here---start->8---

I'd like to export this table with *:nil ^:nil options while exporting other 
subtrees with *:t ^:t.

I tried surrounding the table with example block and src block but both look 
bad after exportation.

I added <10> to the SQL column but it doesn't help quoting the * and _ 
characters when exporting.

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
I also tried changing _ to \under{} and * to \asc{} but it doesn't look well in 
the Org buffer.

I did turn on org-toggle-pretty-entities but it changes the appearance of other 
subtrees which I don't want to.

Re: [O] Insert heading above current one

I also think the earlier behavior made more sense. The variable
org-insert-heading-respect-content (or the universal argument)
controls how a new headline is inserted BELOW the current header
(either add immediately after the current line or down below). I don't
see how this variable should alter the behavior of adding a heading
ABOVE the current header (ie. "respecting content" or not has no
effect here, above is always above).

You have a good point. Looking this way, the
org-insert-heading-respect-content variable is indeed of little use.
But since the variable does exist (even though perhaps it should be
deprecated?), it should behave correctly.
And I just don't see how the behavior of adding a header above the
current line should be impacted by it.

Thanks!
Luciano.

Re: [O] Trying to get chart from table working

[Peter Davis]

I'm sorry to belabor this, but I could use some help. I'd be willing to
pay a modest consulting fee, but I'm trying to solve a problem in a
timely way, as it would help me with healthcare decisions.

Basically, I want to plot a time series graph showing my PSA (prostate
specific antigen) over time. The PSA is measured at irregular intervals,
and has been for over 4 years (and hopefully will continue for many more
years.) That should be a simple enough graph. I've already got a
javascript d3 example that does this, but I'd like to embed it in a
document, and to be able to generate PDF.

Further, I want to be able to show different time intervals with tinted
bands spanning the full range of the graph, and having specific start
and end dates. These would represent various medical treatments I've
undergone. I have a rough example I've mocked up in Photoshop, but, of
course, I want to be able to add new data and re-generate the chart as
needed. I don't know if I can attach a PNG to an email on this list.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough emacs lisp knowledge, or org-mode
knowledge, or gnuplot knowledge to know how to make this all work. I
have not even be able to get the org-plot example to work. (I have been
using org for various types of documents for a number of years, and can
generally pick things up quickly, but I'm overwhelmed by this.)

I was thinking of having a table like:


...
| *Date* | *PSA* | *Treatment* |
| 2017-08-11 | 185 | |
| 2017-08-21 | | #ffdd99 |
| 2017-09-19 | 854 | #ffdd99 |
...


So some rows would contain a PSA measurement, some a background tint,
and some both. I've never seen a visualization like this, but I think it
would be very helpful to have a single timeline that shows periods of
various treatments and the PSA value. There are probably better ways to
specify the starting and ending dates of treatments, but this seemed
amenable to simple iterative processing.

I've considered possible tools for this, including d3, PostScript, etc.,
but I think Org would be best for maintainability, allowing me to add
notes, etc.

I know this is a tall order, but it's beyond my capabilities right now.
Any recommendations or suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-pd

I think the current behaviour makes more sense, if the command is called
with an universal argument. Indeed, what would be the point of using an
universal argument if you get the exact same behaviour as without it?

Out of curiosity is there any to set this variable to something else
than nil? There are already comfortable keybindings to set this
temporarily (C-RET and C-u M-RET). Why would one have M-RET to behave
exactly as C-RET? And even if there was a good reason to do so, why not
simply re-binding M-RET in that case?

[O] org-plot.el bugfix/patch

[Joe Bloggs]

The grid examples in org-plot.el don't work for me
because the org-plot sets datafile separator to "\t",
so gnuplot can't read the data file properly.
Leaving datafile separator at its default value
(whitespace) fixes the problem.

To add, I also think that the earlier behavior made sense, if the point is
at bolp, insert before, else insert after.

But I never noticed this change as I
leave org-insert-heading-respect-content at its default value of nil.

So talking of consistency, it would be nice to get that "if bolp, insert
before" behavior regardless of the value
of org-insert-heading-respect-content.

[O] Trying to get chart from table working

[Peter Davis]

I'm trying out the org-plot example, but when I enter C-M-g on a table, 
I get:



Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, gnuplot


I verified that gnuplot is installed, and that /usr/local/bin is in both 
the PATH and the exec-path for emacs. Is there something else I need to do?



Ultimately I'm trying to figure out how to plot a time series graph, and 
then to represent different time intervals with colored bands in the 
background.

[O] Insert heading above current one

[Luciano Passuello]

Hello everybody, first message here.

According to org-insert-heading documentation: "If point is at the
beginning of a heading, insert a new heading or a new headline above
the current one."

I like this behavior very much, and in orgmode 8.x, calling
org-insert-heading at the beginning of a line indeed creates a heading
before the current one, even when org-insert-heading-respect-content
is set.

For orgmode 9.x, this only works when org-insert-heading-respect-content is nil.
I find this annoying, because I like to have
org-insert-heading-respect-content non-nil AND to be able to insert a
heading before the current one.

Is that by design or a bug? I couldn't find any mention to the new
behavior in the Changes  page.

Thanks!

So far, nothing breaks, because I do not use anything related to

The error is caused by (require 'sclang-interp) which is referring to a
package I do not have on my system.
