[O] accessing ATTR_HTML and CAPTION from custom

[Seong-Kook Shin]

Hello,

I'm using Nikola (https://getnikola.com/) with its orgmode plugin to 
write blog posts.  Their script contains following custom link for HTML 
export:


(defun org-custom-link-img-url-export (path desc format)
  (cond
   ((eq format 'html)
(format "" path desc
(org-add-link-type "img-url" nil 'org-custom-link-img-url-export)


And I have org-mode contents like this:

#+CAPTION: some caption for the image
#+ATTR_HTML: width="60%"
[[img-url:/img/a.jpg]]

I found that somehow DESC parameter passed to above 
org-custom-link-img-url-export function contains all information 
regarding CAPTION and ATTR_HTML but unable to retrieve it properly.  Is 
there any org utility functions to retrieve them?  For example, I want 
to access 'width' parameter from ATTR_HTML like this:


(defun org-custom-link-img-url-export (path desc format)
  (cond
   ((eq format 'html)
(let ((width (SOME-FUNCTION desc :width)))
  (if (null width)
  (format "" ... width)
(format "" ...))

Could you help me how to do that?

Thank you.

i consulted the docstring and the manual.  the description was greek
to me and there was no reference to qa term you used afaict.

but i figured out that article is the default and now know that you
want me to change header-string in that.  so i did this:

(with-eval-after-load 'org-latex
  (setf (second (assoc "article" org-latex-classes))
;; non-idempotent is undesirable
(concat "\\setlength{\\parindent}{0pt}\\setlength{\\parskip}{6pt}"
;; repeating this form is undesirable
(second (assoc "article" org-latex-classes)

which seems to set the variable correctly but has no effect.

it's ok to drop this.  i am limited in computer use and cannot sustain
more debugging cycles.

thanks for your help.

No, this won't work.  You need to check the documentation for the
variable to see the structure that is expected:

org-latex-classes is a variable defined in ‘ox-latex.el’.
Its value is shown below.

Documentation:
Alist of LaTeX classes and associated header and structure.
If #+LATEX_CLASS is set in the buffer, use its value and the
associated information.  Here is the structure of each cell:

  (class-name
header-string
(numbered-section . unnumbered-section)
...)

(continues)

Type C-h v org-latex-classes RET for the full description.  The
header-string can include those particular indent and skip settings
along with other bits.

Isn't that the problem already?

In an org file, this:

,
| * headline
|  * headline
| hello
`

has only one headline, indentation for the * is not allowed.

I found the culprit

(setq message-yank-prefix "   > ")

No idea why I had this, but may be it is ages there. Just moving it out
my init files and everything worked as expected. Thanks

Yeah I fully agree. As soon as I'll have the time I'lldo it,taking
inspiration of the responsesreceived here.

I jsut wanted to try the solutions from the "easiest" to the more
elaborated ones.

Cheers!

IMO, you should bite the bullet and define a capture template: it
gives you flexibility that you cannot get any other way. Sooner or
later, you are going to go that way anyway, so why not start now?

just feedback on the manual and the docstring, but i found nothing
about an org-latex class.  perhaps i wasn't supposed to?  in my latex
ignorance i think a class is probably like article, etc.  maybe
org-latex is a generic thing that gets put in front of article or
something.

in any case, greek to me.  this was my best guess.

(with-eval-after-load
(add-to-list org-latex-classes
'("org-latex" "\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}\setlength{\parskip}{6pt}")))

this isn't critical enough for me to pursue it further as i can use
html export and then pandoc, but maybe the doc could say what
org-latex class is.

this is interesting.  i wonder why.

Re: [O] Adding an item to the agenda from the agenda view

[Shérab]

Dear all,

Many, many thanks for all your responses!

I tried the diary one which seemed like the simplest to set-up. It
indeed adds an entry, but in a strange way:it adds a level 1 headingfor
the year, a level 2 heading for the month, a level 3 heading for the day
and a level 4 heading for the event, that has the actual time-stamp.

I guess it's not very important e.g. if you never read the agenda file
itself but I may still prefer the capture solution which as I understand
it requires a bit more customization but also brings greater
flexibility.

Thanks again for all the solutions you guys provided!

I almost see the same but indented since I user supercite. I will
deactivate it for the moment being, but I doubt this is the problem
since your function also should work for a new mail buffer not just a
reply one, am I right? So supercite should be irrelevant there.

I tried to do what I always do in such cases (at least if memory serves
me right). I put all outorg startup code in a file
start emacs -q and then load that file.

However when I do that, emacs tells me he does not find outshine and
outorg, although they are in $HOME/.emacs.d/elpa


So does emacs -q not ready anymore those files installed via the package
system. I am confused.

My outorg_init file is

,
| 
| (defvar outline-minor-mode-prefix "\M-#")
| 
| (require 'outline)
| (require 'outshine)
| 
| (add-hook 'outline-minor-mode-hook 'outshine-hook-function)
| (add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'outline-minor-mode)
| 
| (require 'outorg)
|  
| (when (require 'outline)
|  (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'outline-minor-mode)
|  (add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'outline-minor-mode))
|  
|  ;; outorg-export
|  (require 'outorg-export)
|  (require 'navi-mode)
|  ;; outshine
| 
| 
|  
|  (setq outshine-use-speed-commands t)
|  
|  ;; navi-mode
| (add-hook 'outline-minor-mode-hook 'outshine-hook-function)

| (provide 'outorg_init)

Dear Andras,

Many thanks  for this  help. I  just succeeded  this morning  to install
citeproc   and   citeproc-orgref   (Iignored   the   Emacs   command
/package-install-file/, thanks to  you, I know it now!).  Of course, I'm
using org-ref that is the best  program that I know to manage references
(again, many thanks to John Kitchin for this amazing tool).

I am going to test citeprog-ref soon and I will inform you.

We stay in touch,

Best wishes,

Jo
