Hello Leslie,

I have it :-) No amount of searching through the Internet forums was going to 
find this. But, you can piece it together from Leslie Lamport’s LaTeX book 
which I finally did.

The \linebreak leaves the full justification default unchanged.

Hi Nicolas,

I'm a bit leery of submitting these lines of code - one reason is that
the sort feature still really doesn't work very well.  IIRC, the results
are globally sorted by timestamp, but there's results with NULL or
no timestamps mixed in.

In other words, results are something like:

* foo 12/1/2001
* bar 12/2/2002
* baz 
* blech 12/2/2003
* another 

So, it's not really a fix, and I'm not sure this is even good code :)
If someone wants to grab the fix and jump from here, that's fine, it's only
a few lines.

Thanks,
--Nate

[O] Simplifying multiple "var" parameters for a code block

[William Denton]

Is there a way to pull data from multiple clocktables (with names matching a 
regular expression) all at the same time into variables passed into a code 
block?


I use clocktables to keep track of how I spend my time at work, with things 
falling into one of three major categories (see [1]).  I use a different 
clocktable for every month, and they have names like c_201805, c_201806 and

c_201807.  For example:

#+BEGIN: clocktable :maxlevel 3 :scope tree :compact nil :header "#+NAME: 
c_201808\n"
#+NAME: c_201808
[ ... clocktable stuff here ... ]
#+END

This all works very well but it leads to some messiness when I want to gather up 
data from all of those clocktables at the same time.  I use R to munge the data, 
and I have a source block that starts:


#+BEGIN_SRC R :session R:clocktable :results none :var c_201709=c_201709 
c_201710=c_201710 c_201711=c_201711 c_201712=c_201712 c_201801=c_201801 
c_201802=c_201802 c_201803=c_201803 c_201804=c_201804 c_201805=c_201805 
c_201806=c_201806 c_201807=c_201807 c_201808=c_201808 :colnames yes


When I just had three or four monthly clocktables to handle, that was OK, but as 
you can see it's getting kind of crazy.


Is there a way that I can get all of the c_MM tables passed into a code 
block, as done above, but without having to specify them individually?  I have a 
feeling there's a bit of Lisp that would do it somehow, but I don't know what it 
would be.  I'm happy to use an intermediary table if that's easiest.


Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Bill

[O] Warning (bytecomp): ‘((symbol-function (quote message)) (symbol-function (quote ignore)))’ is a malformed function

[J. David Boyd]

Starting yesterday, I see this warning in my Emacs when I start.   I've
started with 'emacs --debug-init', but get no errors.

It looks like it is happening when byte compiling something on the fly.  I
have made no changes to any of my configs, but I have updated from melpa.

How do I track this down and get rid of it?  I don't see any flag for Emacs
like --debug-warning or anything.  Ideas please?

[O] Newbie question

[Henrik Frisk]

Hi,

I'm new with Scheme and new with org babel so excuse me if I am missing
something obvious.
I have this bit of (simplified) Scheme code to generate a list of lists:

#+name: chromatic
#+begin_src scheme :noweb yes
  (map (lambda (x)
 (cond ((< x 4) (list 0 1))
   ((equal? x 4) (list 2 0))
   ((> x 4) (list 1 1
   (list 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11))
#+end_src

It appears to be working fine outputting a table such as

#+RESULTS:
| 0 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 |
 ...

For another function in Lilypond, also in scheme I need it to be a (list
(list 0 1) (list 0 1)...) as in the variable seq below:

 #+begin_src scheme :noweb yes
 $(let ((random-state (seed->random-state (current-time)))
   (seq (list (list 0 0) (list 0 1/2) (list 1 0) (list 1 1/2) (list 2
0) (list 3 0) (list 3 1/2) (list 4 0) (list 4 1/2) (list 5 0) (list 5 1/2)
(list 6 0
   (make-sequential-music
(map (lambda (x p)
   (let ((idx (random 12 random-state)))
 (make-music 'NoteEvent
'duration (ly:make-duration 2 0 1/1)
'pitch (ly:make-pitch 0 (car p) (car (cdr p))
   (make-list (length seq)) seq)))
 #+end_src

I can do:

(seq <>)

if alist is:

#+name: alist
#+begin_src scheme
  (list (list 0 0) (list 0 1/2) (list 1 0) (list 1 1/2) (list 2 0)
(list 3 0) (list 3 1/2) (list 4 0) (list 4 1/2) (list 5 0) (list 5 1/2)
(list 6 0))
#+end_src

but what I would like to be able to do is to have have the noweb reference
be to the 'chromatic' function above as in:

(seq <>)

but that doesn't work. Maybe what I am trying to do is not possible, maybe
there is a limitation on ob-lilypond, but it seems to me that the result of
my function chromatic above spits out ((0 1) (0 1)... ) and that this is
the cause it doesn't work.

Again, I am really new to this...

The workaround I am doing is to format the output of chromatic into a
proper list och lists and then add it by noweb reference.

Any hints welcome.

Re: [O] target file of capture template does not save

[tom]

Me again. Let me try to provide a bit more info. I'm using xdotool to call
"emacsclient -c -e '(org-capture)'". In my init.el, I have both

(add-hook 'org-capture-mode-hook 'make-frame)
and
(add-hook 'org-capture-mode-hook 'delete-frame)

my capture template writes to, say, "beans.org."

I swoop in with the mouse, choose the template, finish, and the capture
frame goes away. perfect. I don't open or ever see beans.org. But when I do
visit the file, it is sitting there unsaved. How can I have it
automatically save for me? Modify the org-capture-mode hook? If that's the
case, may I have some help with the modification? Or am I missing something
else?

Thanks.

Well, you must choose what do you want. If you let LaTeX fully justify your
text, you don't control line endings, otherwise you can put \\ to say 'Hey
I want a line ending here'.

If you want a shorter quoting you could use a different size to \parbox.

As an example you can use  * \parbox{0.7\linewidth}*
to limit the parbox to 70% of your linewidth.

Cheers,

LEslie

This might be out of scope for the org list, but the excellent emojify-mode

tags when emojies are included in the headings.

That will work, but it feels inelegant. I guess Iʼll stick to using

[O] org-file-apps problem

[Bostjan Vilfan]

Hello,
Prior to org-mode version 9.0 I was able to use the default program for
a file type on Windows 10 with the following setting:

(setq org-file-apps (list (cons t (list 'w32-shell-execute "open" 'file

However, now (currently my version of org mode is 9.1.9) nothing I try
works, including the instructions provided in the release notes of version
9.0.

Can someone, please, provide me with the correct value of org-file-apps
to use if I want a click on a file link to result in a call of the Windows
10 default app.

Much obliged.

This seems to be a compatibility issue with the forest package in
Latex. The problem is demonstrated and explained in the org file

  To make things a bit more complicated, after commenting or

  contents of directory ~ltximg~ in the working directory to see the
  difference, because the system caches the generated images of the
