[O] [ANN] helm-org-ql command
Hi friends, Today I published a Helm command for org-ql, helm-org-ql, which makes it quick and easy to search Org files. You can adjust a query and immediately see how the results change, and you can easily narrow down a query until you see only the results you want. You can then jump directly to a result by pressing RET, or you can press C-x C-s to save the results to a persistent org-ql-search buffer. Then you can even save the search query by pressing C-x C-s again, allowing you to access it again later with the org-ql-view command. You can see a screencast of using helm-org-ql here: https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql#helm-org-ql Please let me know if you have any feedback. Thanks, Adam
[O] Some whitespace stripped from emacs-lisp value in src blocks making it unreadable in certain cases
Consider a lisp form that, when evaluated, produces another form. I'm
used to org printing the resulting form nicely, in lisp blocks. However,
this is not the case for emacs-lisp src blocks. An example:
1. The way it should be (and is now the case) with lisp, namely sbcl:
#+begin_src lisp :results value verbatim :wrap example lisp
(macroexpand '(defun test (a b c) "doc" nil))
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example lisp
(PROGN
(EVAL-WHEN (:COMPILE-TOPLEVEL) (SB-C:%COMPILER-DEFUN 'TEST T NIL NIL))
(SB-IMPL::%DEFUN 'TEST
(SB-INT:NAMED-LAMBDA TEST
(A B C)
"doc"
(BLOCK TEST NIL
T
#+end_example
2. The way it is now with emacs-lisp and a src block header that is
otherwise identical:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results value verbatim :wrap example emacs-lisp
(macroexpand
'(use-package outline
:ensure nil
:bind
(:map outline-mode-map
("" . (lambda nil (interactive) (outline-up-heading 1))
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example emacs-lisp
(progn (use-package-ensure-elpa 'outline '(nil) 'nil) (defvar
use-package--warning157 #'(lambda (keyword err) (let ((msg (format "%s/%s: %s"
'outline keyword (error-message-string err (display-warning 'use-package
msg :error (condition-case-unless-debug err (progn (if (not (require
'outline nil t)) (display-warning 'use-package (format "Cannot load %s"
'outline) :error)) (bind-keys :package outline :map outline-mode-map
("" lambda nil (interactive) (outline-up-heading 1 (error (funcall
use-package--warning157 :catch err
#+end_example
Is there a remedy? This probably better be fixed but it could be due to
me using bleeding-edge Emacs 27 master (2019-09-10) & Org from melpa
(2019-09-09). If you don't have proper output formatting with other
versions in use, please report.

[O] Scheduling in a narrowed subtree: Bug?
Is this the expected behavior? 1. Create an empty org file 2. Insert * Test * Test 2 3. With the cursor at Test, hit C-x n s to narrow the view to the Test subtree 4. Hit C-c C-s to schedule the line at any date. As a result, the SCHEDULED keyword is _not_ included in the narrow view, and inserting things after the Test heading moves the SCHEDULED keyword away from its second-line position. Cheers, Michaël
[O] Multiply alerts for icalendar export
Hi, I am user of ox-icalendar package and I have a question about generating reminders in icalendar files. Documentation says that proper way to configure reminders is using org-icalendar-alarm-time variable and setting APPT_WARNTIME property in cases when pre-entry customization required. I am happy with current functionality but in rare cases I'd like to have more reminders per entry. Like many other PIMs allows this today. E.g. I'd like to have at least 3 reminders for my flight appointments. So to be extra sure and do not to miss my plain :-) My reading of ox-icalendar code clearly indicates that there no easy way to achieve that. It looks like ox-icalendar always generate only one reminder or no reminders at all. But I am not an expert of org-mode export engine and possibly there are ways to do this? May be somehow extending this export engine? Also may be there any thrid-party org to icalenadar export engines that are a bit more flexible and configurable on that matter? Mikhail Skorzhinskii
Re: [O] Best practice for providing an Org-based application?
It would be helpful to get a better sense of what is the private data, e.g. is it something like org-contacts, or some structured data in a heading? and what are the workflows that might be generic. I have used org for lots of organizational things in the past, ranging from conference organization, teaching classes, running job searches, organizing special issues in scientific publications and lately to organize some things for a cub scout troop. They have all been pretty different, but I am sure I have reinvented pieces of it each time. I am interested in learning more about what you are doing.

[O] LaTeX org-mode tikz with a dark background plots with black on black
Hello, everyone
I am trying to follow the example from the contributed manual:
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-LaTeX.html#org30df2de
The code I am trying to get compiled is the following:
#+header: :imagemagick yes :iminoptions -density 600 :imoutoptions -geometry 200
#+header: :fit yes :headers '("\\usepackage{tikz}")
#+header: :buffer on
#+begin_src latex :results raw file :exports code :file test.png
\usetikzlibrary{trees}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\node [circle, draw, fill=red!20] at (0,0) {1}
child { node [circle, draw, fill=blue!30] {2}
child { node [circle, draw, fill=green!30] {3} }
child { node [circle, draw, fill=yellow!30] {4} }};
\end{tikzpicture}
#+end_src
I am getting the picture, and the circles are where they should be,
but (!), the arrows are black, which makes them not really visible on
a black background. How would I either make the background white, or
(better) just make the foreground white (just for this particular
block of latex, not for export, and not even for the entire file).
The formulate like \( e = mc^2 \) are properly rendered both in Emacs
(white on black), and when exported (black on white).
Any suggestions welcome.

This is really more of a LaTeX question. In any case, I would do
something like this:
#+begin_src org
,#+options: H:1
,* slide
- first
- @@latex:\alert<3->{\only<2->{@@second@@latex:}}@@
#+end_src
You could invert the order of only and alert in that line.
And, if you do this a lot, you might wish to start looking at org macros to
make it easier and cleaner/prettier.
HTH,
eric

Re: [O] Extending ob-plantuml keywords
> On a casual inspection, it appears that ob-plantuml hardcodes the > plantuml keywords @startuml/@enduml around the source block. On closer inspection, I see that Org Mode 9.2.6 supports alternate @start/@end pairs in plantuml. Rather than using a keyword on #+BEGIN_SRC, it simply checks for @start… at the beginning of the body. That’s good enough, I think.

Thanks for the pointer (it's actually section 12.8.4 in my version of
Emacs/Org). I now have
#+LATEX_header: \newcommand{\mytick}{\color{green}{\tiny{(HPC-Kunden)}}}
...
- Physik @@latex:{\only<2->\mytick}@@
- @@latex:{\only<1>{Rechtswissenschaft}}@@
@@latex:{\only<2>{\color{red}{Rechtswissenschaft}}}@@
which does what I want.
I was wondering, however, whether there is a more compact way to do the
second line, i.e. without having to repeat the text for which I want to
change the colour.
Cheers,
Loris
