Exporting from orgmode to LaTeX needs a high level approach: don't do 
complicated things, just use the appropriate LaTeX API. 

Unfortunately adding XMP metadata is the largest construction site in the 
LaTeX world: https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb43-3/tb135fischer-xmp.pdf 

The LaTeX Project Team developed a new pdf management, see here: https://
ctan.org/pkg/pdfmanagement-testphase : 

"The new PDF management code offers backend-independent interfaces to central 
PDF dictionaries, tools to create annotations, form Xobjects, to embed files, 
and to handle PDF standards."

The most important command is `\DocumentMetadata{}` and it needs to be placed 
before `\ḑocumentclass{}`

The idea to have a LATEX_PRE_HEADER to insert `\DocumentMetadata{}` is exactly 
what you need right now, if you export from orgmode to current LaTeX. With 
`\DocumentMetadata{}` you can add most of the necessary xmp data -- and I 
write most, because I'm using it on a daily basis, but haven't checked if 
really everything is included yet.

Yes, that's what I'm doing with notmuch, thanks to the hint that ol-notmuch

This is about a maildirs of kmail on my local machine. The E-Mails are being 
indexed by akonadi on the side of kde-pim. But referring to a certain E-Mail 
from orgmode with a kind of link fails, because I'd need to got to the maildir 
and search for the specific E-Mail. kde-pim does not offer an easy way to 
extract that or the message-ID.

And kmail obviously does not. OK, but since I installed notmuch, notmuch.el 
and ol-notmuch.el, I will have a look into using this. Thank you!

As long as notmuch, notmuch.el and ol-notmuch are there we have a viable 
solution, thanks to this (undocumented) trick with notmuch:id:123abc, after 
getting the id by opening the mail with notmuch in emacs and »c I«.

This is weird since ever. I've been talking to some collegues and everybody

Link from orgmode file to E-Mail (using kmail or notmuch)

[AW]

Hi!

Workflow: E-Mails with a question comes in, I open a TODO heading in an orgmode 
file regarding the question.

Now, I'd like to add a link to the E-Mail under this TODO heading in the 
orgmode file. I've seen the manual page about external links, https://
orgmode.org/manual/External-Links.html 

I'm on Linux, KDE as GUI, distro Tumbleweed by openSUSE. The E-mail software 
is kmail. Unfortunately, there is no way to get the path to an individual E-
mail out of kmail, which I could simply use to put it into my orgmode file as a 
link.

So I installed notmuchmail and the emacs package notmuch.el. Works. By 
notmuch-search I can find an individual E-mail. In the E-Mail buffer I type
c I , which copies the message-ID of that E-Mail into the keyring. 

Instead of a link I paste the message-ID into my orgmode file. If I'd like to 
read the E-Mail again, I can use notmuch-search: id:  to find the E-
Mail again.

I know, this is not a really efficient way. Probably you are not surprised to 
read my question:

How can I have a link in an orgmode file to an E-Mail using either a feature of 
kmail oder notmuch ?

Regards,

Alexander

[O] org-calc-default-modes not found!

[AW]

Dear list!

org-version: Org mode version 9.1.9 (9.1.9-8-gf05c2e-elpa @ .../.emacs.d/elpa/
org-20180409/)

[I shortened the path]

C-h v org-calc TAB

results in [No match]

Expected result: find variable org-calc-default-modes

But I'd like to set (float 8) to (float 16) in orgtbl-mode tables, because 
when I export them to LaTex, in my case I get some rounding errors I'd like to 
avoid. 

However, I'm really concerned about the fact that the whole variable isn't 
found.

org-table.el is there and it contains the variable. I loaded org-mode via 

(add-to-list 'package-archives
 '("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/;) t)

No other org-mode around, as far as I can see. 

For testing  I inserted into my .emacs under custom-set-variables these lines:

'(org-calc-default-modes
   (quote
(calc-internal-prec 12 calc-float-format
(float 16)
calc-angle-mode deg calc-prefer-frac nil 
calc-symbolic-mode nil 
calc-date-format
( "-" MM "-" DD " " Www
  (" " hh ":" mm))
calc-display-working-message t)))

As far as I can see, the calculation is correct, Example:

| 105000400.05 |
|--|
| 21600.82 |

But why is the variable not found?

[O] Adapting to orgmode 9.0: deprecated usage of (org-pdfview-open link) - howto ?

[AW]

Hi!

To display a PDF from orgmode, I'm using pdf-tools and a package called org-
pdfview. 

Code from .emacs to this end:

,
|  (eval-after-load 'org '(require 'org-pdfview))
|  (delete '("\\.pdf\\'" . default) org-file-apps)
| (add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.pdf\\'" . (org-pdfview-open link)))
| (add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.pdf::\\(\\d+\\)\\'" . (org-pdfview-open 
link)))
`

Error message, when trying to open a link using C-c C-o: 

,
| user-error: Please see Org News for version 9.0 about `org-file-apps'--
Error:
| Deprecated usage of (org-pdfview-open link)
`

Unfortunately I'm lacking the elisp skills to understand the hint in the Org 
News:

,
| *** ~org-file-apps~ no longer accepts S-expressions as commands
| 
| The variable now accepts functions of two arguments instead of plain
| S-expressions.  Replacing a S-expresion with an appropriate function
| is straightforward.  For example
| 
| : ("pdf" . (foo))
| 
| becomes
| 
| : ("pdf" . (lambda (file link) (foo)))
`

OK, I don't speak lisp, but I tried this in my .emacs:

,
| (add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.pdf\\'" . (lambda (link)   ( org-pdfview-
open
| (add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.pdf::\\(\\d+\\)\\'" . (lambda (link) (org-
pdfview-open
`

Well, error message when trying to open a link to a PDF: 

,
| user-error: Please see Org News for version 9.0 about `org-file-apps'--Lisp 
error: (lambda (link) (org-pdfview-open))
`

Maybe someone can help me to adapt the code; would appreciate much!

Alexander

@ Pablo, thank you, that solved it! Great!

@ all:
My initial setup was:

(eval-after-load 'org '(require 'org-pdfview))
 (delete '("\\.pdf\\'" . default) org-file-apps)
 (add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.pdf\\'" . org-pdfview-open))
(add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.pdf::\\([[:digit:]]+\\)\\'" . org-pdfview-
open))

Now and working:

 (eval-after-load 'org '(require 'org-pdfview))
 (delete '("\\.pdf\\'" . default) org-file-apps)

(add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.pdf\\'" . (org-pdfview-open link)))
(add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.pdf::\\(\\d+\\)\\'" . (org-pdfview-open 
link)))

So the way to include org-pdfview-open did not work with openSuse and Emacs 
24.5

If somebody _please_ could swap the "sexp" in org-file-apps with whatever 
function, as Nicolas mentioned? It really is helpful to open a lengthy PDF at 
the right page...

And sorry for answering so late, I missed the email.

Re: [O] orgmode & pdf-tools

[AW]

. . .   A N D  openSUSE!

Links of the form [[./foo.pdf::3]] still are being opened on p. 1 instead of 
page 3. For description of my issue, see my report from April 3rd below. 

Me, being a user, I can't solve this. I'm on openSuse, current Tumbleweed. I 
managed to install PDF-Tools properly, after I found out that you need to 
install Cask before loading down the package via Melpa.

Those lines below from my .emacs work in other installations, as the 
maintainer of org-pdfview.el wrote. 
(https://github.com/markus1189/org-pdfview/issues/10)

I build a short .emacs, only the necessary links and packages, to orgmode and 
PDF-Tools. No success. 

IS SOMEBODY READING THIS WHO USES openSUSE ?

I tried but failed to find an error with edebug, but this seems way beyond my 
skills.

[O] orgmode & pdf-tools

[AW]

Hi!

Linux, Orgmode 8.3.4, org-file with many links. Recently I discovered pdf-
tools, which can display PDFs inside Emacs, just like docview, but much 
faster. 

I'd like to 

1. open via a given link from inside the org-file using C-c C-o 

2. the PDF with pdf-tools 

3. on a given page. 

Result: PDF is being opened, but always on p. 1 instead of e.g. page 5!

.emacs:

(eval-after-load 'org '(require 'org-pdfview))
(delete '("\\.pdf\\'" . default) org-file-apps)
(add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.pdf\\'" . org-pdfview-open))
(add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.pdf::\\([[:digit:]]+\\)\\'" . org-pdfview-
open))

link in org-file:

[[./localfile.pdf::5]]


Same setup works under windows with other viewer. So probably there is an 
error in those lines above. Any hints? -- Thank you!

Regards,

Alexander

Sorry for the noise, to use PDF Tools instead of Okular I just had to write

[O] PDF-tools... and LaTeX

[AW]

Dear all,

I dare to ask this slightly off-topic question, because of the discussion 
about pdf-tools a day ago. 

I installed pdf-tools (https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools). It is a _lot_ 
faster than doc-view. Many thanks to Matt Price 
(http://matt.hackinghistory.ca/2015/11/11/note-taking-with-pdf-tools/) I got 
it working with orgmode. 

But I'd like to use it to display my PDFs I produce with LaTeX (Emacs, AUCTeX) 
as well.

The trouble is the automagic reloading of the PDF every time it get's changed 
on disk. Okular does this, but pdf-tools need some kind of invitation?!

>From here https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools/issues/128  
is this setup for .emacs:

= 8< ==


(pdf-tools-install) 
(load "pdf-tools")
(setq TeX-view-program-selection '((output-dvi "Okular") 
(output-pdf "PDF Tools") ;; 
))

(require 'subr-x)
(defun th/pdf-view-revert-buffer-maybe (file)
(when-let ((buf (find-buffer-visiting file)))
(with-current-buffer buf
(when (derived-mode-p 'pdf-view-mode)
(pdf-view-revert-buffer nil t)

(add-hook 'TeX-after-TeX-LaTeX-command-finished-hook
 #'th/pdf-view-revert-buffer-maybe)


 >8 

If I compile a *.tex file again, I get the error 

"error in process sentinel: Symbol's function definition is void: when-let"

...and the PDF won't get updated.

Can anybody help me to get a working setup? Really, this libpoppler behind 
pdf-tools is such a lot faster, it reminds me on xpdf.

I'm on Linux, Emacs 24.5.1 and AUCTeX 11.89.

Thanks!

Background: I'm using orgmode on different platforms, Windows and Linux. So I 
(being very proud of that!) wrote an if-clause:

(setq org-link-abbrev-alist
   (if (eq system-type 'windows-nt)
  '(("foopath" . "//Sbs2011/ra2000/Bilder/2010/271-2011/%s")
)
  '(("foopath" . "/home/AW/some/path/2011-271-project/%s")))



So on Windows foopath becomes the first path, and on Linux the second and all 
my links in the orgmode files work on both platforms.

A cheap solution for EXPORT_FILE_NAME: just have two lines and comment out the 
wrong one!

-
* Subtree to be exported
:PROPERTIES:
# :EXPORT_FILE_NAME: //Sbs2011/ra2000/Bilder/2010/271-2011/filename
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: /home/AW/some/path/2011-271-project/filename
:EXPORT_TITLE:
:END:

foo

-

But comment seems not to work inside properties.

However, :EXPORT_FILE_DIRECTORY: would only improve _my_ situation, if I could 
make it dependend on a condition. 

Thank you very for your help!

Kind regards,

[O] Using link abbrevations for EXPORT_FILE_NAME ?

[AW]

Hi,

on orgmode 8.3.2 I've got a large org-file. Offen, I need to export a subtree 
like this:

-
* Subtree to be exported
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: /PATH/TO/FOLDER/filename
:EXPORT_TITLE:
:END:

foo

-

I'd like to save the exported file in a project folder, as you can see in 
EXPORT_FILE_NAME .

It would be very helpful to use link abbrevations in EXPORT_FILE_NAME :

(setq org-link-abbrev-alist
   '(("anglisky" . "~/Path/whereever/%s")))

in .emacs and write:

-
* Subtree to be exported
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: anglisky:filename
:EXPORT_TITLE:
:END:

foo

-

Possible? Feature Request?

Thank you!

I'm using link abbrevations. The abbrevations are stored in a file and
this file is loaded in my .emacs. I hit this bug only on Windows 8.1,
not under Linux. 

Code of abbrevations as example:

(setq org-link-abbrev-alist
   (if (eq system-type 'windows-nt)
  '(("NameA" . "//Sbs2011/Bilder/2011/271-2011/%s")
("NameB" .  "//Sbs2011/Bilder/2012/351-2012/%s")
)
  '(("NameA" . "/home/AW/Dokumente/2011-271/%s")
("NameB" .  "/home/AW/Dokumente/2012-351/%s")
)))

With orgmode 8.2.10 the links work. Example for link: [[NameA:filename.pdf]
[whatever]]

With orgmode 8.3.1 I get the message e.g.:

user-error: No such file: u:/Sbs2011/Bilder/2011/271-2011/filename.pdf

You see, orgmode 8.3.1 modifies for no apparent reason the link from
"//sbs2011..." to "u:/sbs2011..."

The share "u:" exists, HOME is u:/emacs. This is the orgmode version from 
orgmode.org, not elpa.

I wrote to the person mentioned in org-crypt.el as maintainer and received the

What a pity, org-mode is better than ever.

[O] org-crypt: Secure encrypted message against inadvertent change

[AW]

I'm using org-crypt. All text below a heading with the tag :crypt: becomes 
encrypted with saving the file and looks like this:

-BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-

-END PGP MESSAGE-

I really hope this example will not irritate your email software.

My notebook has one of those large touchpads and once in a while I hit it and 
go on with typing, but the cursor shifted to text somewhere else and I'm 
adding letters to a completely different paragraph, before I notice and 
correct it.

Well, this evening I added some letters inadvertently inside a PGP message, 
because the touchpad shifted to cursor to an encrypted paragraph. If I saved 
the file, the encrypted paragraph would have become un-decryptable (I tested 
this: decrypting no longer is possible).

Unfortunately I won't always realise what happened, e.g. if I don't watch 
while dictating into a speech recognition (Dragon Nat. Speak.).
 
And the encrypted parts are not needed often. So the destroyed PGP message 
might make it into my backups and if I try to encrypt it a year later...

Why isn't the text between 

-BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-

and

-END PGP MESSAGE-

read-only as a default ?

Really, an inadvertent change can destroy valuable information and it i

[O] Orgmode links trouble with Emacs 24.4 on Windows 7: ShellExecute failed: ...

hi,

I installed Emacs 24.4 on Windows 7. 

Everything works, except some of my links in orgmode. They worked under Emacs 
24.3, and they work with Emacs 24.4 under Linux.

The non-working links have a certain structure: I'm using shorcuts. I have a 
file AW-org-file.el, containing lines like:

(setq org-link-abbrev-alist
'(name . //SBS2011/path/to/folder/%s))

This file AW-org-file.el is required in my .emacs

The links in the org-files look like this:

[[name:filename]]

or

[[name:./path/down/the/folder/filename.pdf]]

With cursor on the link I do C-c C-o and get:

ShellExecute failed: Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.

(my translation: the system can not find the file).

I'd be thankful for a helping hand,

 Seems like simply exporting as html5 might solve the problem.

Yes, it does, thank you. But the price is that tabulars lose the frames and

because Word had issues with html5.

So I think I stick for the time being with customization of org-html-xml-

LibreOffice changes the content of word files slightly and for folks who panic

You know, if you are the guy who works with LaTeX, word users tend to be

don't. What am I doing in the wrong way?

 The easiest way to get the same effect is to use
 
 M-x customize-variable RET org-file-apps RET
 
 and specify a command.  Once it is saved, the .emacs will have the
 resulting nightmarish string :-)
 
 
 
 Another way to quote a string would be to use
 
M-x pp-eval-expression RET (read-string Enter string: ) RET
 
 and copy-paste the output from *Pp Eval Output* to .emacs or .el file.

Thank you, customization worked, but it did not start word -- I'm going 
another way now.

 It's probably easiest to put that into a wrapper script and associate it

 even need to customize anything within Emacs or at least could avoid the

 to set environment variables.

I found out, that things are much more complicated: 

I wrote a bash script word.sh (see my other mail on this) and tried to figure 
out how to pass a filename to it. Even this is not obvious, because from the 
viewpoint of Word under Wine filenames differ from the real filename in the 
system. I did not suceed to make Word start and open a file foo.docx. You know, 
something weird as

word.sh C:/users/AW/Meine Dokumente/Dokumente/temp/foo.docx

made Word start, but not open a document, and Word complains about missing dot 
something. And often people send files with names which are a pain to read, 
including $ -signs, brackets and whatever. 

The whole thing is way too difficult for me and I have to dismiss the idea.

[O] Set org-file-apps to open a *.doc file under linux with Word ?

Hi!

I'm using orgmode as a replacement for folders, you know, real folders, lots 
of paper inside. 

In my orgfiles I link to many other files, mostly *.tex and *.pdf, links look 
like

[[./foo.pdf][About foo]]

Sometimes I can't avoid to link to doc  or docx files. So I need my linux pc to 
start word and load a certain file. 

I'd like to link to *.doc files in the same way:

[[./bar.doc][About that draft]]

But how can I set org-file-apps to open a *.doc file with MS Word under Linux?  
Word works, more or less. 

To start word the command is:

env WINEPREFIX=/home/AW/.wine-office wine C:\windows\command\start.exe 
/Unix 
/home/AW/.wine-office/dosdevices/c:/users/AW/Start Menu/Programs/Microsoft 
Office/Microsoft Word 2010.lnk

But how in the world can I put in my .emacs file? I tried:

 (add-to-list 'org-file-apps 
   '(\\.doc . \env WINEPREFIX=/home/AW/.wine-office wine 
C:/windows/command/start.exe 
 /Unix /home/AW/.wine-office/dosdevices/c:/users/AW/Start 
Menu/Programs/Microsoft Office/Microsoft Word 2010.lnk\ %s))

But I get:

Any suggestions would be welcome!

[O] minor mode recentf: show only *.tex and *.org files?!

[AW]

Hi!

I'm using the minor mode recentf to get a list of recently opened files. But 
the list is cluttered with files like *.out, *.log and whatever.

Can somebody drop me two or three lines, which I can put into my .emacs file to 
make recentf only show *.org and *.tex files?

Thank you,

Regards,

Alexander

 Variable recentf-exclude is the answer.
 I have this :
 (setq recentf-exclude '(
  /.emacs.bmk$
  \\.ido.last$ ; ido mode (emacs)
  session\\.[a-f0-9]*$ ; emacs
  ~$ ; emacs (and others) backup
  \\.log$ ; LaTeX
  \\.pdfsync$ ; LaTeX
  \\.toc ; LaTeX
  \\.aux$ ; LaTeX
  /Dropbox/ ; avoid opening dropbox files, there is
 probably a local mirror bssm2011-dropbox ; symbolic link to dropbox
 /COMMIT_EDITMSG$
  /tmp/
  .el.gz$
  ))
 
 but obviously you want to adjust that to your situation. If you really
 only want org and tex files, you should ignore anything that doesn't end
 in org or tex, i.e.
 
 (setq recentf-exclude '( ; if filename...
 [^gx]$ ; doesn't end in gx
 [^e]x$ ; or ends in x but not ex
 [^r]g$ ; or ends in g but not rg
 [^t]ex$; or ends in ex but not tex
 [^o]rg$ ; or ends in rg but not org
 ))   ; ...then exclude
 N.

Thank you very much. Your way to exclude only some disturbing files seems much 
better to me.

But I fail to exclude in Emacs 24.3 under Windows 7 lines in recentf like 
this:

c:/Users/aw/AppData/Local/Temp/diary1234ABc

The filename is always diary + 4 digits + letters (2-4 letters)

So I wrote:

 (setq recentf-exclude '(
   /diary[0-9]\{4\}[a-zA-Z]\{2,4\}$
))

but without success, all the lines of my temp-diaries still appear in recentf.

Probably I should start the regex with something different than /, but I 
tried everything I could think of, e.g. \\, 
c:/Users/aw/AppData/Local/Temp/, without $ at the end...

As I'm running out of ideas, maybe you could give me a hint again.

Alexander

 You have to double the backslashes. Reason is that when lisp reads the
 string, it translates it into
 /diary[0-9]{4}[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$
 which is not the regexp you want.

I get lots of lines like c:/Users/aw/AppData/Local/Temp/diary1234ABc , 
despite duplication of backlashes.

Hm. Tried with leading / and without, same result. So I inserted a whole 
filename including path instead of an regex and this failed as well. It seems 
the whole recentf-exclude does not work, at least under windows 7. I created a 
testfile Test.org and tried to exclude it in various ways, but without success.

Dammit. Can it be the leading /?

However, thank you for your very appreciated help!

Alexander

Maybe the description of the variable recentf-exclude should be amended: 

The variable recentf-exclude has to be set before your require recentf. 

When I put my setting before (require 'recentf), it works!

Result: If I C-c C-c on the orgtbl from my example, the output still is full 
of 

\begin{enumerate}
\item installment
\end{enumerate}

So there is something wrong. 

But if I put your code into scratch and press C-M-x, change to the buffer with 
the *.tex-file and repeat C-c C-c on the orgtbl, it works properly.

I can live with that way. So WDIT: thank you very much!

 Note that, according to Org syntax, 1. doesn't start a list, since
 tables cannot contain lists.

Dear Nicolas,

isn't that quite a contradiction: according to org-syntax tables can not 
contain lists, but orgtbl-to-latex treats 1. inside a table as if it were a 
beginning of a list?

Besides that, thank you for your code, but as my MEW showed, I use things like 
:splice t . In fact, I do splice nearly every orgtbl into a frame on the 
LaTeX-side.

I have no idea, what to do, only thing I can say is that I use org-tables to 
draft contracts including paing by instalments, e.g. in dependence to progress 
of contstruction works. So things like 1. Instalment happen. 

Kind regards,

Alexander

[O] icalendar-import-file into org

[AW]

Hi!

I'd like to have an external calendar file displayed in org and was very glad 
to find a hint in the manual. The name of the external calendar file is 
office.ics.

So I wrote into my .emacs-file:

(icalendar-import-file office.ics Diary)
(setq org-agenda-include-diary t)

As you can imagine, that caused an import of office.ics _every_ time I 
started 
Emacs. So I ended with a huge calendar file full of (no, not stars)[1] 
repetitions of office.ics.

The trouble obviously is the import into Diary. If I could write

(setq org-agenda-include office.ics t)

-- but as I'm not a programmer, I do not know how to do that.

If someone had a helping hand, I'd be glad,

Regards,

Alexander

 You can import the ics file into some temporary diary and
 delete the temporary diary upon exit from emacs:
 
 --8---cut here---start-8---
 (setq tmp-diary (make-temp-file diary))
 (icalendar-import-file /path/to/office.ics tmp-diary)
 
 ;; make it the default...
 (setq diary-file tmp-diary)
 ;; so that org-agenda can find it
 (setq org-agenda-include-diary t)
 
 ;; delete the tmp diary on exit
 (add-to-list 'kill-emacs-hook
  (function
   (lambda ()
 (delete-file tmp-diary
 --8---cut here---end---8---
 
 That assumes that you don't have any other diary files
 that you are interested in including. If you do, the basic
 idea will still work but will require more fiddling.
 
 Untested.

Hi Nick,

thank you for these lines. I realised that I've got a bug in one of my .emacs-
files, but I have to dig where: in Windows or Linux. However, both 
installations of Emacs should format the date exactly the same way. 

I will report when back on the surface,

[O] Move marked text into environment

Dear list,

would someone help me, being not a programmer, to achieve this:

I get Emails, copy them into an org-file and would like to write down comments

I'd like to mark some text in the copied text of the Email inside the org-file

I know that I can get the environment #+BEGIN / #+END_QUOTE with q, but 
that leaves it to me to transfer the text into this environment.

Thank you in advance!

  I can create the booklet very easily with Stapler (or similar), but am

  not sure on is how to create a table of contents.
  
  Ideally, I could do something like generate a page count of each

  create links to, which I thought I could do with Org. Even better
  would be to have [back to top] links as well, since this will end up
  being a multi-hundred page booklet (~100 documents of 2-4 pages each).
  
  Any thoughts on this?
  
  Is it easier to just generate a list of files and use Org to include
  them somehow via LaTeX instead of using Stapler to combine them?
 
 I'd just use LaTeX's pdfpages package, possibly with hyperref.  (If you
 encounter any problems, email me - I've done similar things before, so
 I guess I could help you.)

under Windows 7, Emacs 24.2 and orgmode 7.9.4 I would like to have a

PDFXCview /A page=10 filename.pdf

implement that in orgmode? Which lines to add to my .emacs file?

There are some things I don't quite understand: Would you like to export to 
LaTeX, or would you simply like to have a target to refer to in an orgmode

And why have a figure, instead of -- in LaTeX terminology -- a listing?

Re: [O] Feature: Group and limit items in agenda

[AW]

 
 For me this is enough. However, I wonder whether this could be useful
 for others. The proposed feature is a general group by and limit:
 
 - In agenda view, you are able to group todo or agendas with a certain
 criterion (category, tags..)
 - You are able to restrict the items shown in this group. Optionally,
 some special todo states could be unlimited. For example, I only want
 to limit the number of TODO tasks, while seeing all the DONE tasks.
 For others, maybe they want to see all the NEXT tasks, but limiting
 the number of TODO tasks.
 
 I wonder how many people would be interested in this feature.
 Otherwise it would just be a waste of time to generalize my personal
 taste.

This sounds like a good idea. I'd love to group my different tasks in the 
agenda, instead of getting them sorted by due dates.

 In normal use you would simply modify the PROPERTIES and body text to

Exporting tables to LaTeX usually is not the last step, obviously you will 
compile the exported *.tex file into a *.pdf. Right?

So stick to a dot as the decimal point in *.org and in *.tex, but use the 
numprint package to get a table in your *.pdf with commas as decimal points.

[O] Bug (?): Indentation of lists and customized TODOs

Hi,

I'm writing lots of plain lists (»unordered lists«). But the third
line in one item is no longer indented, *if I customize the TODOs* by
adding something like »#+TODO: TODO INPUT ASK MAYBE | CANCELLED DONE«
. So how can I customize org-mode TODOs and keep the lists working?


#+TODO: TODO INPUT ASK MAYBE | CANCELLED DONE
* Überschrift
Example:
  - This is the first line.
  - This is the second line and here I'm adding more and more text. It
may be the description of something, let's say the summary of one
of a chapter...

You see? The third line is not indented like it should be.

This is weird. There are some conditions more necessary to reproduce and I'm 
still testing.

1. »(setq org-startup-indented t)« does not trigger the wrong indentation.

2. I had this line in .emacs:
»(setq-default auto-fill-function 'do-auto-fill)«
and replaced it with this function:
»
 (add-hook 'org-mode-hook
   (lambda ()
 (auto-fill-mode 1)))

3. The behaviour of lists seems to depend on which kind of text follows.

As soon as I find out, I'll post the result.

 Hello,
 
 Based on your work, I've put up the attached back-end:
 org-koma-letter.el.
 
 Quoting its documentation:
 

 You will need to add an appropriate association in `org-e-latex-classes'
 in order to use the KOMA Scrlttr2 class.  For example, you can use the
 following code:
 
   (add-to-list 'org-e-latex-classes
'(my-letter
  \\documentclass\[%
   DIV=14,
   fontsize=12pt,
   parskip=half,

   \[PACKAGES]
   \[EXTRA]
  (\\section\{%s\} . \\section*\{%s\})
  (\\subsection\{%s\} . \\subsection*\{%s\})
  (\\subsubsection\{%s\} . \\subsubsection*\{%s\})))
 
 Then, in your Org document, be sure to require the proper class with :
 
#+LATEX_CLASS: my-letter
 
 In this back-end, headlines are ignored during export.
 --8---cut here---end---8---
 

This is very usefull, scrlttr2 is being used much. Thank you very much!

To avoid misunderstandings: Letter classes do not support headlines out of the 
box, but the author of KOMAscript, Markus Kohm, offers files to customize 
scrlttr2, among those is »sections.lco«, see here:

http://www.komascript.de/sections.lco

This file adds headings from section down to paragraph, but does not support a 
table of contents. The counters have been adapted to a German lawyers needs, 
starting with A. (section), I. (subsections), 1. (subsubsection) and 
a) (paragraph), but this can be customized in sections.lco. 

So we can use headings in scrlttr2. As the page about sections.lco got nearly 
10.000 hits during the last years, I guess many people use it for business 
letters including headlines. 

At least I do, which leads to my plea to amend org-koma-letter.el to export 
headlines. 

 It's far from being complete. See it as a proof of concept. Feel free to
 upgrade it.

Just in case someone has a rainy sunday as well . . .

  I get at least every number in column 1 with a dot, but without .00, as

 The ending dot is Calc syntax and means a float with fraction 0.
 
  *Do I have to ad '; f-2' to every formula?*
 
 Yes, else the Calc result is inserted without change. There is a
 formula debugger that shows the formatting steps nicely: C-c {
 
 The +.0 is necessary too to convert Calc integer to Calc float for
 some cases as shown in the example tables here:
 http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#table-float-fraction
 
 All together:
 #+TBLFM: @4$1=@2$1+@3$1 +.0; f-2::@5$1=vsum(@I..@II) +.0; f-2::$1=$0 +.0;
 f-2
 
 This is what I recommend just in general and what I do always myself
 as a habit because it can deal also with higher precision or the case
 when those of the fields resulting in an empty string should remain
 empty instead of a 0.00. If you don't want to be prepared for all
 that, for your current example you can still use just
 
 #+TBLFM: @4$1=@2$1+@3$1;%.2f::@5$1=vsum(@I..@II);%.2f::$1=$0;%.2f
 
  And besides that, I've never seen this description f-2. Is it explained

destroys the table. Example below, beware, you will get an error, because of 
the said bug. 

For readers who are not familiar with LaTeX: % is the comment sign, after 
% LaTeX does not compile anything in this line. Here in the example the end 
of the current row is marked with \\, but due to the % LaTeX can not find 
any eol. 

Can the export function be amended? Any % inside the table (!) needs to be 
exported as \%.

Re: [O] radiotables in LaTeX-document: export numbers from orgtbl with commas as decimal separators instead of periods; with MWE and lisp-code = SOLVED

[AW]

There is an easy solution on the LaTeX side: we simply have to use the package 
»numprint« and to wrap every number of the second column with 
»\numprint{number}«, then it will be printed in a suitable way.

We get this by adding to the #+ORGTBL - line this code: 

:fmt (2 \\numprint{%s} EUR)

So the whole line looks like this:

#+ORGTBL: SEND anteile orgtbl-to-latex :splice t :skip 1 :fmt (2 
\\numprint{%s} EUR)

Sorry for the noise.

I'd like to use radiotables inside a LaTeX-document. Here is a minimal working 
example:

---
\documentclass[pagesize, ngerman, fontsize=12pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel, comment, array, booktabs}


\title{Sicherheitsbestellung}
\subtitle{gag}
\begin{document}
\maketitle

\begin{tabular}{p{0.25\linewidth}p{0.5\linewidth}}%\toprule
  Bezeichnung  Betrag \\
% BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL Kaufpreis
Kaufpreis  10.00 \\
Darlehen  -5000.00 \\
Summe  95000.00 \\
% END RECEIVE ORGTBL Kaufpreis
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\begin{comment}
#+ORGTBL: SEND Kaufpreis orgtbl-to-latex :splice t :skip 0
| Kaufpreis | 10.00 |
| Darlehen  |  -5000.00 |
| Summe |  95000.00 |
#+TBLFM: @3$2=@1$2+@2$2;%.2f

\end{comment}
\end{document}
---

I would like to have the LaTeX table with commas as decimal separators instead 
of periods, e.g.: 

»Kaufpreis  10,00\\« or even better 
»Kaufpreis  100\,000,00\\«. 

To avoid misunderstandigs: The change of all periods to commas should take 
place when the org-table is »transfered« to the LaTeX table, not earlier!

I found a suggestion by Carsten Dominik here: 
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/42000

---
(add-hook 'org-export-preprocess-hook
  'org-use-comma-in-exported-tables)

(defun org-use-comma-in-exported-tables ()
  (goto-char (point-min))
  (while (re-search-forward \\([0-9]\\)\\.\\([0-9]\\) nil t)
(org-if-unprotected
 (when (save-match-data (org-at-table-p))
   (replace-match \\1,\\2 t nil)
---

I put that into my .emacs, restarted Emacs, but no result.
I'm using Emacs 23.3 and Org-mode version 7.8.02. Please bear in mind that I'm 
may have made strange mistake, because I do neither have experience with 
radiotables nor understand lisp.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Alexander
