Nice thanks I'll give it a try..
I can maybe switch to the buffer automatically and run that, as I was
trying to do before.
Just for curiosity, why the lispy arguments are deprecated?

[O] Agenda restrict to buffer

[andrea crotti]

I never quite understood how to pass arguments to org-agenda without
using it interactively..
I want a simple thing, a command that shows the agenda with the TODO
entries from a given file

So supposing the buffer "projects.org" is open I tried this:

(defun my-org-agenda ()
  (interactive)
   (switch-to-buffer (get-buffer "projects.org"))
   (org-agenda :arg 'agenda :restriction '<))

which complains for
Wrong number of arguments: (lambda (&optional arg keys restriction)
"Dispatch agenda commands to collect entries to the agenda buffer.

Any suggestions?

Maybe you're cloning the right repository but ending up using the shipped

Thanks for sharing..
Well my conclusion is that is just a bad idea.
Literate programming is great but for other things, as for example
scientific work very dense
of hard to grasp concepts.

If I need many lines to explain some elisp function it normally means
that it's really badly written,
and I just need to rewrite it better.
One thing which is much harder with the single org file is to have
different kind of profiles.

The only way would be to actually tangle to some files and load them on
demand when needed,
but then there is no point in using org-babel in the first place..
And then it's really hard to debug, because since they are not separate
modules is was
almost impossible to understand what was going on, now that I switched
to many smaller
files I solved all my latent problems..

It's quite a hard task to migrate more than 3500 lines :S
This little function is helping a lot, I replace all the :tangle yes
setting the right destination name for the given block,
so at least I do the first big transiction with org-babel..

(defun ca-replace-with-file (fname)
 (interactive "sWith String:?\n")
 (let ((fname (format "modules/ca-%s.el" fname)))
   (query-replace ":tangle yes" (concat ":tangle " fname))

[O] back to a multiple-file configuration

[Andrea Crotti]

For quite a long time I had my emacs configuration in a big org-mode
file (https://github.com/AndreaCrotti/Emacs-configuration).

The file has is more than 3500 lines now, and I think the experiment has
failed in a sense.  The problem is that this even if this style is great
to produce nice documents and add a lot of useful text, is quite bad to
actually write modular code.

I rely quite heavily on the order in which things are declared for
example, instead of having different libraries to load.

So I guess I will switch to a multiple files structure again, which is
more "programmer friendly in a sense".
Anyone else had similar experiences?

[O] fill-paragraph?

[Andrea Crotti]

I lilke the fill-paragraph behaviour that I get in org-mode, and I was 
wondering

if I could use it also in other modes.
Using (turn-on-orgstruct) doesn't change the behaviour, and actually how 
does it

work?

I mean M-q in org-mode is still bound to the exact same function, how 
come it

behaves differently?

For example I would like to be able to refill comments in python without 
messing

up the list structure:

# TODO
# - see how to handle possible interconnected links between different 
projects

# - add some ways to declare more possible branches
# - the name of the protocol is not necessary unless it's HTTP

Ideas?

[O] pylint to org reporting

[Andrea Crotti]

Since I've been studying PyLint a little bit I tried to write my own
reporter, and in particular I wrote a reporter that writes in org-mode
;)

For example running (on a random source file):
org_pylint_reporter.py src_obj_check.py
I get something like:

* TODO 
[[file:/home/andrea/pydbgr/PIL.PcdImagePlugin.py::49][PIL.PcdImagePlugin]] 
:W0511:
* TODO 
[[file:/home/andrea/pydbgr/PIL.PcdImagePlugin.py::1][PIL.PcdImagePlugin]] 
:C0111:


Where the tag is the error and then we have a nice "jumpable" org-link
to the offending line.

Not sure what to do with it yet, but something cool like bug tracking in
org-mode might come out of this, hope it's of inspiration for someone
else at least :)

[O] underscore behaviour

[Andrea Crotti]

[O] do it today, or well, tomorrow

[Andrea Crotti]

There is a nice little app for android called "do it tomorrow", where
you can plan easily for one day, and move them to the next day easily.

I was trying to do the same in org-mode, so my idea is that:
- in the morning I fill some tasks which I should do during the day
- at night I move to the next days the ones which were not finished

(maybe the "DONE" flag should be set automatically in case they're
trivial or the explanation might go somewhere else).

The problem is that from the agenda view I can't easily move a task to
the next day, is anyone doing anything like this?

Thanks,

[O] pycallgraph to org-mode

[Andrea Crotti]

I'm programming in Python and I have to understand how a quite complicated
code base actually works.

So I thought that using pycallgraph might help me, but the resulting figures
are just normally too big, and also it's annoying to go and look at the code
from the graph.

So I had the following idea, add some functionalities to pycallgraph, to 
create

a text file in org-mode format, where in every function there is also a link
the actual file in the filesystem.

I think it might come very handy, is there anything already to convert a 
graphviz

directed graph into an org-mode file (it might speed up the process)?
Or any code I should take a look at?

There are no compile time dependencies on git as far as I see.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone here has the skills and interest to write
a git merge driver for Org mode files, in the way


http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob;f=lib/git-merge-changelog.c

does this for GNU style ChangeLog files?

One of the obstacle for using Org-mode for collaborative programs is that
many operations add or remove text from the beginning or end of a file,
or which add or remove a subnode from an outline tree.
These are operations that confuse the git merger, in particular
if two people have added something to a file, or removed/added
sequential sibling nodes.

I believe that this could be solved with a dedicated merge driver
that understands the integrity of an outline (sub)tree, and that
knows that the sequence of two new subtrees added by different people
does not matter.

The idea for this is actually (I believe) from Brian Gough who asked me
about it at FOSDEM.  I have now also run into this problem and would
really find it great if such a merge driver could be written.
Unfortunately, I do not have the skill for this.

- Carsten

Does the merge driver need to be written in C?
It looks quite a complex task considering that org-mode files
are not so easy to parse...

Anyway a partly unrelated thing, with git attributes I'm able
to see the diff of crypted org files very easily (maybe someone
is interested), adding to .git/config:

[diff "gpg"]
  textconv = gpg2 --decrypt

and to .gitattributes:
*.gpg diff=gpg

One way to make the whole deployment really portable could also be to
pass from plain Makefile to the autoconf beast.  This would also be good
to detect the Emacs version and existing external libraries which maybe
needed.

A few other extensions already do and I think it would decrease greatly
the amount of code needed (even if it would increase the "hidden

[O] Bug in #+INCLUDE?

[Andrea Crotti]

I experienced a weird behavior when including a C++ file, and after an
update to the latest revision of org-mode the problem is still there.

It's very simple to reproduce, with a test.org and test.cpp file as
attached, trying to export to pdf (and latex) org-mode puts in the
output file "footnote definition not found".

The problem I think is that it tries to evaluate the footnote in
expressions like:
my_map[0] = 1;

But it should not since it's just a raw file inclusion.

Another thing since I'm here, I'm still seeing all the compilation
warnings relative to "interactive-p", but if I check the source code
where I see the warnings I see the new macro.

And I don't see how the macro can expand to interactive-p since already
the first condition is satisfied.

[O] beamer code and auctex

I'm trying to put some nicely colored code in my org-beamer
presentation.

On one machine I have minted but it's not found and the other is not
installed, but I guess that's a latex problem.
With lstlisting it kind of work but the font is way too big and not very
nice, but I'll try again maybe to see if I can get it better...

The problem is that I use auctex for latex files, and the first time it
asks a value for the tex-master file.

Isn't it possible to disable this and why does it asks since I'm using
pdflatex directly, right?

Andrea

Right it works also for me now on linux with a bit younger version of org.

The other day it took me a long time to understand why

#+begin_src C

the problem is that with the capital "C" emacs doesn't find a C-mode and thus
I don't get the right mode to write code with.

But the main question is, does it make sense to make that particular
string case sensitive?

How could
#+begin_src Language and #+begin_src lanGuage do different things?

the service, username and password and storing it in a (hopefully)
cypted file.

Now it would be nice to make it easy to fetch and modify passwords.
Another thing which I'm a bit "annoyed" is that keeping crypted files
under git, I never see the real diff since the files are binary.

Do maybe some of you found a way to see a text diff even on crypted
files?

PS. anyone is welcome to send suggestions/patches also to me directly if
interested...

[O] Abstract

[Andrea Crotti]

Is the abstract section somehow supported in org-mode?
I can easily write
* Abstract

but for example then it goes into the index and it gets numerated if
"num:t" in the #+OPTIONS.
thanks,
Andrea

Sure I also do ;)
For synchronization I meant between different programs/protocol not
different machines...

When everything will work it won't be too necessary, but at least to
switch to some importers are necessary imho.

I agree on that sure, but it would not harm to define some templates of
fields to make it immediately usable as a full "normal" address book.

I'll try something out as soon as possible, I'm sick of my actual

That's also very nice thanks.
Well the only thing that I would really love to have is a real working
synchronization mechanism, and a real address book with all the
interesting fields for everyone.

The fields I can also set them myself but maybe would be nice to define
some standard fields which can be set and are automatically recognized.

The once that is done, it would be easier to write some code to
synchronize org-contacts to AddressBook/gmail contacts/vcf and even more
important my android phone.

With org-mobile it might even make sense to update the address book
every time I push something ;)

Re: [O] [Org-contacts] 3 2 1 go?

[Andrea Crotti]

About the script used to import from AddressBook.app, I update it here
https://github.com/AndreaCrotti/scripts/blob/master/contacts_to_org.py

Now it creates as many contacts for the name as many as the email
addresses.
One thing I haven't found in fact is how to support multiple emails, is
that too hard to do?

Anyway in general I think I will use the VCF exported data instead, also
because "contacts" is not very smart itself and a bit annoying to fetch
all the single fields.

A simple import mechanism (from csv for example) might be good to have
directly inside org-contacts.el, what do you think?

Good to know :)
So I think I will avoid trying BBDB after all, I can start with this already.

I have a first thing working well enough for the translation, I use
contacts to get the fields: http://gnufoo.org/contacts/contacts.html

It's very stupid now since it only takes one email and no other fields,
but it's ready for enhancements.
Anyway it

cmd = "contacts -H -S -f '%s'" % (';'.join('%' + x[1] for x in FMT))

[O] [Org-contacts] 3 2 1 go?

[Andrea Crotti]

So I finally setup gnus after reading some thousand of pages of manuals,
now the only thing which is missing is an address book...

I tried out org-contacts and it looks great, also because from my
understanding BBDB has never been included in the Emacs default
distribution and it's quite old..

So is there also a way to get all the contacts from my OSX address
book?
I can export to vCard and then it should not be hard to convert all the
mails, but maybe someone already scripted that?

The thing I'm wondering more is, is org-contacts only thought for mail
addresses?

Because I would really like to have a complete address book support from
the command-line/Emacs to get rid of the stupid osx AddressBook.app, but
it doesn't look that the purpose is this, right?

Thanks for the great job :)

[Orgmode] Exporting to html

[Andrea Crotti]

I have a quite huge file with a lot of code blocks in many possible
languages.
Now the problem is that I'm not able to export it to html/pdf.
Some other times it happened that pdf export was not working, but it was
quite easy to spot the mistake and fix it.

But with html export I'm not understanding where is the error, since I
don't get the line...
The funny thing is that the 2 lines that I can see downthere from the
debugger ("import static..." and "..jython..") are now *deleted* from
the buffer.

So where are they still coming from? (I also deleted the previously
created html file).

Maybe it would be useful to have some system to spot easily the line
that causes trouble during exportation, and even better would be to see
it visually in the org-buffer if something could cause troubles...

Here below the backtrace..
Thanks!

[Orgmode] CV with org?

[Andrea Crotti]

Long time ago I wrote my CV with latex and the currvita package.

Now before I just modify that maybe some of you has a better option to
create it in org-mode.

I can still use currvita in orgmode of course, but if there is a better
option I would be glad to hear it :)
Thanks

I was there and you all did a great job, thanks!

The only things that could be made better imho is the readability.
The font was too small for all three presenters, and the minibuffer
unreadable already from the middle of the room.

Also something to popup the keys (is there anything like growl for
linux) would be very useful in this kind of presentation

Not totally sure, some slides for giving the same background to everyone
are always useful, and they increase the hype and curiousity to see the
tool in practice.

I think that in general hackers always don't stand very well magic, they
would always like to know what key was pressed, what command given and
so on to do them by themselves.

I will be there too and happy to meet who changed my life (well at least

@Bastian: if you use OSX and growl maybe you could find this useful for
the presentation:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
(defun growl-popup (msg)
  "Pop up a growl notification with MSG, or display an Emacs message.
The \"growlnotify\" program is used if `window-system' is non-nil and
the program is found in `exec-path'; otherwise `message' is used."
  (interactive)
  (if (and window-system (executable-find "growlnotify"))
  (shell-command (concat "growlnotify -a /Applications/Emacs.app/ -m "
 (shell-quote-argument msg)))
(message msg)))

(defun popup-last ()
  (interactive)
  (let
  ((last-key (key-description (this-command-keys
;; check if we don't have a "stupid" sequence
(unless
(= (length (this-command-keys-vector)) 1)
(growl-popup last-key

;TODO: make it an external package and better a minor-mode, switching would 
also be much easier
 
(setq growl-mode nil)

(defun growl ()
  (interactive)
  (if (not growl-mode)
  (progn
(message "enabling growl mode notification")
(add-hook 'pre-command-hook 'popup-last)
(setq growl-mode t))
(progn
  (setq-default pre-command-hook (remq 'popup-last pre-command-hook))
  (message "disabling growl mode notification")
  (setq growl-mode nil
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

In this way people can see what you are pressing (all commands with at
least two keys).

Sorry for the other mail I pressed a C-c C-c too much.
What I do normally is to put the graphs in another file and then include
only the link in the file that I want to export.

In case I change something I can still remember to do C-c C-c on the
graph...

Another thing is that also changing mode in the overlay messes things

[Orgmode] Overlays and elisp code

[Andrea Crotti]

I found a strange behaviour which might be a bug, but maybe of my
configuration.

This is org mode version:
Org-mode version 7.4 (release_7.4.199.g8be1.dirty)
and emacs:
"GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin10.3.0, NS apple-appkit-1038.29)
 of 2010-05-09 on linc"

To reproduce the bug I do
- go over an elisp code block
- C-c ' to edit in the overlay
- C-c ' to go back when done

And it works perfectly, BUT if for example I remove a parenthesis before
pressing C-c ', I can't go back.

C-c ' becomes undefined and I have to kill both the overlay and the
original buffer.

While I was writing I also found the cause of the problem, Paredit!
Removing the hook from emacs-lisp-mode-hook fixes this, but paredit is
really useful with elisp, maybe someone has an idea of why this happens?

[Orgmode] org-latex and figures

[Andrea Crotti]

I could not understand why on earth my pdf had all the images after the
whole document.
Then I found this:

http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/textprocessing/float_hint.html

and found out that the default for a figure was
\begin{figure}[ptb]

while in the generated latex file from org I had
\begin{figure}[htb]

So I changed to the default and now it works fine...
Isn't that default maybe a bit dangerous?

The fact is that if the first image doesn't fit "here" it will be
printed late and all the others after.

I might also just use the latex code here for these things, I don't care
to export to other formats, it's just nicer to look if it's in org syntax

I also tried that and I saw it doesn't work...
Actually a normal block would be also fine, but the ignoreheading block
doesn't "box" my text in a different background color as the normal
block does.

So it's a bit different, not exactly like a block which ignores the
heading.

I think I solved this issue already a very long time ago, but went
completely out of my mind...

Is it also possible to have one part of a frame fixed while one other
part (a block/column) changes its content?

\pause writes things after, doesn't substitute the content, so I guess
something else is needed...

Great thanks a lot.
Too bad that things really start to become complicated with the
syntax...

Another last thing, if I want a block (for example an "alertblock") is
there a way to not having the heading line?

I mean
** Thanks:B_block:
   :PROPERTIES:
   :BEAMER_env: alertblock
   :END:

   *Thanks you all*

I would like not to see the initial Thanks...
For latex is perfectly fine but how do I say that to org-beamer?

Thanks everyone, the "per frame" setting is perfect.
And since I'm here another thing I'm not getting.

Perfect nice, but now I also get

[Orgmode] [BEAMER] make text fit in a slide

[Andrea Crotti]

Would it be possible with some trick to automatically make the font
resize when the frame doesn't fit in the slide?

Or maybe would that be possible otherwise to split the slide in two
parts automatically?

I always wondered how to do it but never really found out.
And how do I in general could have a section of text in a smaller font?

Thanks a lot, with this

(setq org-latex-to-pdf-process '("pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode 
-output-directory %o %f" "bibtex %b" "pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode 
-output-directory %o %f" "pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory 
%o %f"))

It works quite well, even if it looks like an hack, but I can avoid
using texi2dvi I think...

It takes some time though for the whole process, and sometimes only one
run of "pdflatex" would suffice.
Is it so hard to have a smarter check for how and what passes are
needed?

Is not enough to check if all the references are satisfied?

And another thing, why do I have to setup a default citation file?
(setq reftex-default-bibliography "cit")

In theory from my understanding reftex should grep this in my file
\bibliography{cit}

and open that file to see the citations, is that not correct?

I'm doing a presentation and using bibtex for keeping my references,

That's really wonderful and it works like a charm, using reftex-citep

Only one thing is not clear, how do I tell org-mode to call
pdflatex/bibtex "enough" times to get all the links correctly setup.

I didn't get it working, and only calling manually
- pdflatex
- bibtex
- pdflatex

on the generated I could get the correct references...

I meant switching frames...
I normally would keep the frames in the same desktop, maybe different
instances of emacs on different desktops (I have one for gnus and one
for everything else).

An example of a window manager configuration to do this anyway?

I'm quite sure that also would work for me, that's the normal way to
proceed.
But since org-mode has this disputed-keys feature which is quite a good
idea I wanted to use it if possible...

Looks like that the key meta-left which would be bound to "other-frame"
is not seen as used by org-mode, that's my explanation...

Well yes and no, I could many programs running, and I want a key that
lets me switch only between the emacs frames, without showing me the
other windows.

Having that working it would be even better that the operating system
only show me one instance of emacs frames, not all of them.

[Orgmode] Disputed keys

[Andrea Crotti]

I wanted finally to fix the following problem, I would like to use
meta-left/right to switch frame, and that's one of the keys that orgmode
uses.

I added the two values here to the org-disputed-keys

--8<---cut here---start->8---
[(meta left)]
Value: [(meta control left)]
[(meta right)]
Value: [(meta control right)]
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

but still it doesn't work, in orgmode meta-left is always bound to the
org action, not to other-frame as it is in other modes...

Any suggestions?

[Orgmode] org beamer conflicts

[Andrea Crotti]

I noticed a strange problem.
My emacs configuration uses orgmode from git, and loads it in this way:

(defun make-conf-path (path)
  (expand-file-name (concat base path)))

(add-to-list 'load-path (make-conf-path "org-mode/lisp"))
(add-to-list 'load-path (make-conf-path "org-mode/contrib/babel/lisp"))
(add-to-list 'load-path (make-conf-path "org-mode/contrib/babel/lisp/langs"))

;; this variable must be set BEFORE org-mode is loaded or it will have no effect
(setq org-replace-disputed-keys t)

(require 'org)

On an ubuntu 10.10 machine (with emacs 23.1) I wanted to use org-beamer,
and even if locate-library told me that I was using the right orgmode
(not the one shipped in) the variable org-export-latex-classes didn't
contain the entry "beamer", and then I could not export my presentation.

I fixed it using instead of require->load-file, but what I don't
understand is why it was using the other version, when locate-library
told me something else.

Any idea?

[Orgmode] TODO hooks

[Andrea Crotti]

After another time that I forgot something I came up with the same idea.

Suppose I live in address X, and whenever I change my address I have to
notify Y, Z, W.

Now how could I handle this automatically?
I would like that, whenever my address changes I get a todo telling me
to contact Y, Z, W.

Is it possible to do anything like that in org-mode?
Maybe with org-babel and elisp, but there should also maybe an
elisp-hook on the change of that text...

Any idea, other people feelt my same need from time to time?

Thanks, I would like to have a mixed approach, but also just a blog with
articles might be perfectly fine for now.

So reading again I think I got it, I create the index.html showing the
lasts posts (for example), I eventually add some CSS and then I export
the org-files in the right place.

Org-jekyll helps giving the right name to the html files so that is
automatically recognized by jekyll.
Then I want to export it to github pages, but that should be already
set up correctly.

Is that correct?
A not about the tutorial (which is very clear): you should quote the "_"
otherwise, like
\_posts or project\_name
for example.

Thanks a lot

[Orgmode] Finally jekyll and org-jekyll

I've been struggling for already too much time and I really don't get
anywhere the few informations I need.

I want to finally build my page with jekyll and org-mode, and I also

didn't work

The question basically is, what do I have to write myself and what will
be automatically written?

I see that jekyll wants something like this below, but do I need to
define alli those things even using org-jekyll?

I also tried the test example in org-jekyll but all I get is the same
files repeated again in the directory.

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

|-- _layouts
|   |-- default.html

[Orgmode] Strange error in html exporting

I just updated today to
--8<---cut here---start->8---
Org-mode version 7.01trans (release_7.01g.55.g0cafa.dirty)
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
and I found many nice new features, great job!

The gantt exporting is real cool, pity the program only runs on linux
apparently.

Anyway only one minor problem, if I try to export to html a file with a
lot of code (also other java snippets) and this:

#+begin_src java
  import static org.junit.Assert.*;
#+end_src

I get an error (see below).
If I just remove this apparently innocuous snippet everything works
again, what could that be?

I pasted the error here anyway:
http://gist.github.com/503607

Another thing (not related but I think is very small)
if "~/Documents/pycon/conf/org-mode/share/info" I have 
there my
--8<---cut here---start->8---
Directory /Users/andrea/Documents/pycon/conf/org-mode/share/info/
dir org
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
compiled from "make install-info"

shouldn't I be able to see the right info page?

It's very funny because whatever I do I always see the info for version
6.33, and I don't know where it comes from since I also deleted the old
installations.

And my "system" org-mode info is 4.something so it's not even that...

Thanks a lot, Andrea

PS. by the way, I've never needed to have htmlize before but now I had
to install it, was it maybe included in org-mode before?

[Orgmode] Re: Nice links bookmarks

[Andrea Crotti]

I meant exactly what Eric said, footnote.el is quite cool in fact.
But we can achieve the same result with org-mode (even in his minor-mode
version), so why don't use it?

With this variable moreover we get the same style:
(setq org-footnote-auto-label 'plain)

The only thing that puzzles me is the fact that with C-c I should go
back in the text while in message-mode it will try to send it, BUT
looking at what the command does we get:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
C-c C-c runs the command orgtbl-ctrl-c-ctrl-c
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

Does that mean that in the minor mode it passes the control on the major
mode for keys?

Could it not be possible to execute the footnote command with C-c if
we're on a footnote and message-mode command otherwise?

You could set a file variable (something like

where you set the max and the minor mode with a hook on every key could
update a value in the modeline.

I've extended quite a lot

Ah great that's really nice, I always forget to try the magic C-u

[Orgmode] Automatic clock-in

[Andrea Crotti]

I'm using more and more the very nice clock functions provided by
org-mode.
I added this
--8<---cut here---start->8---
(global-set-key "\C-c\C-x\C-o" 'org-clock-out)
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

So I can clock out from every buffer without problems.
It would be nice somehow to have a similar thing for clock in also.
It's not so easy of course but most of the I clock in in the same buffer
that I last clocked out.

There could be a default choice which brings you there and otherwise
asks you to which buffer you want to clock in, something like that.

Or is there another better way to do already what I'm asking?

No news?
Here I'm also putting some slides, they should just contains list of
things.
I'm doing them in Beamer, it could be a good way to show another usage
of org-mode.

But actually I don't know if it's a good thing, after all they're just a
few slides so it might be better to make something more graphically
nice, what do you think?

For the interactive part, would be better to show different things in
separate examples or all of them in a more complex file?

What about some sort of unit testing with tables/formulas/org-babel all
together?

Could be nice to generate a table with some checks that pass only if we
get some results from the code which is automatically executed, what do
you think?

Ok good to know, now I tried and the exportation goes fine, but if I
open it with Freemind 8.1 it's like an empty file.

With Freemind 9 instead it complains that the format it's old, so I
confirm the translation to the new format and everything works fine.

So there is something wrong I don't know where...
And by the way the header of the file is
--8<---cut here---start->8---


--8<---cut here---end--->8---

So why should freemind 0.9 complain?
I'm using a very recent org-freemind on OSX 10.6 and emacs 23..

[Orgmode] Freemind exportation

[Andrea Crotti]

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I tried many times during
the last months and I've never seen the freemind exporter works, is it
just to me or a general problem?

It would be a great thing, what is/was the problem and is possible to
fix it?

Great Dan thanks a lot, now it works perfectly!
So in case someone is interested can get the configuration I'm preparing here
http://github.com/AndreaCrotti/Org-mode-notes

Feel free to take what you need and modify as you wish, at the moment
it's working and should work everywhere (only my personal snippets are a
symlink so I guess it's not working outside my machine).

Yes thanks a lot I was doing a stupid mistake, in other files I always
used emacs-lisp.
But if it will be aliased even better (I could do it myself but I've
made a snippet for it so I won't forget again)...

So now I have a strange behaviour, sometimes the file is loaded and
sometimes is not

This is the init file:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
(setq base "~/Documents/pycon/")
(setq conf (concat base "conf/"))

(add-to-list 'load-path (concat conf "org-mode/lisp"))
(add-to-list 'load-path (concat conf "org-mode/contrib/babel/lisp"))

(require 'org)
(require 'org-babel)
(require 'org-babel-tangle)

(org-babel-tangle-file (concat base "miniconf.org"))
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

The tangling works perfectly fine on my "real" emacs conf, but with the
testing configuration I get sometimes (don't understand why sometimes it
works this)

http://gist.github.com/362682

And is short

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function -mode)

What is that supposed to mean? Just some stupid mistake again?
The file to load is 
http://github.com/AndreaCrotti/Org-mode-notes/blob/master/miniconf.org
but I guess that's correct because on one emacs it works perfectly fine

[Orgmode] Tangling

[Andrea Crotti]

So for my presentation I'm preparing a minimal emacs configuration which
will have
- org-mode/babel
- python mode
- yasnippet/auto complete 

And it will be everything here
http://github.com/AndreaCrotti/Org-mode-notes

I'm running
Org-mode version 6.34trans
on
GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1
(i386-apple-darwin9.8.0, NS apple-appkit-949.54) of 2009-09-16 on neutron.local

But I don't know why I'm not able to tangle anything and then load the
elisp code from an org-mode file.

--8<---cut here---start->8---
ELISP> (org-babel-load-file "/Users/andrea/Documents/pycon/miniconf.org")
*** Eval error ***  No buffer named miniconf.org
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

But the file is actually there, or like this
--8<---cut here---start->8---
ELISP> (org-babel-tangle "/Users/andrea/Documents/pycon/miniconf.org")
nil
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

And it doesn't export any source even if it looks something like this

--8<---cut here---start->8---
* Org mode
** Clock configuration
#+begin_src elisp :tangle yes
;; Clock configuration
(setq org-clock-persist t)
(org-clock-persistence-insinuate)
#+end_src
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

Any idea?

I personally use the 2) on OSX 10.6 and I'm quite satisfied.
Sometimes it happens that it crashes (very seldomly) but for the rest is
quite good.

I don't understand the difference with 3), maybe less packages already inside.

Anyway not being an emacs using org-mode is a "pity", because if you get
more confident with emacs itself you will be also much more productive
with org-mode (and viceversa).

[Orgmode] Re: Let's TALK about it

[Andrea Crotti]

My talk has been accepted :)
So now I really have to prepare something!

I thought that for showing the power of org-mode and babel I could use
something I already have

http://github.com/AndreaCrotti/my-project-euler/blob/master/euler.org
(click on raw to see the code)

It's a summary of which problems I've solved or I want to solve.
Below there are elisp functions that are called inside the table, and
the table is updated smartly looking for every file with a particular
extension in the directories of the problems.

Then I was thinking to remove the table and I started to use a babel
approach, but I think both approaches could be very interesting.

Those snippets of code that only returns a result are a nice example to
use with babel (I think).

Could be a good idea?
I'm also going to show something from python-mode/yasnippet because in
the end the title of the talk is
"Light of speed python programming with emacs"
So I have to stay close to it :D

Thanks a lot, now there are a couple of "problems":
- it's a python conference, I should be able to remain at least close to
  the topic
- the talks are "chosen" by the people who bought the ticket, so I
  should try to write it as inviting as possible.

The thing is that a tour of python-mode and all what's related for
productivity and org-mode/babel would be 2 different talks, so I maybe
also propose both of them...

But if I propose only org I don't think it will ever be accepted, if I
put them together maybe...

And if I'm doing both I should take a very long time to show everything
could be nice (most talks are 60 minutes if I'm not wrong).

[Orgmode] Let's TALK about it

[Andrea Crotti]

I will probably go here http://www.pycon.it/
(what does it have to do with org-mode you might think).
Anyway I wanted to propose a talk on emacs and python programming
packages used to simplify the editing.

I would also like to include something on literate programming with
orgmode/babel, so I was wondering if you have any advices...

I've never done a presentation like this before, but in this case I
think an interactive session where I show things would be nicer than a
set of slides.

Are there any presentations around about the subject where I could give
a look?

Also the emacs+org-mode is a quite complicated world, I would like to
show all the best features without having to deal with elisp code or
having to explain too much...

What could be the "minimal" introduction needed before talking about
org-babel for a smart (but maybe not emacser) audience?

[Orgmode] Wiki?

[Andrea Crotti]

Today I had to modify some wiki pages for a project and I realized how
it sucked..
Stupid editor, annoying markup language, difficult to remember/track
down what you've written and so on.

So wouldn't be great to do something like this

* Wiki stuff
** Page1
   This is a wiki page, automatically created if not existing
   - item
   - item

** Page2
   Another page.

Than with one command like org-export-to-wiki look if the page is
existing, if not create it, convert it to the right format and it's
done!

I think it should involve some rpc php stuff which is not directly
related, and also if the page is modified by someone else is not so
easy (unless we're able to update our org-version).
But to create new pages it would be great (for me at least).
What do you think?

Thanks

Ok forget about the sh problem, I just deleted it..
The absolute path is another mystery, I thought the problem was that I

Paths will only be absolutes, I also added
:include ("java")
but still the same, no code included and exported pages only works on my

For the "bug" just go over the table
- press C-c '
- start typing a new formula with @+
after that emacs hangs and not even C-g restores it...

I now would like to use only one formula in the whole rectangular area and 
take the extension from the first header of the column.

[Orgmode] [babel] latex code in final pdf

[andrea Crotti]

I'm not so sure it's related to babel since it's in
#+BEGIN_SRC haskell

tags.

Anyway in short I see latex code in the final source
code block exported.
I updated from git org-mode.

This is the code that gives program:

  sumListCond :: Int -> Int -> [Int] -> Int
  sumListCond l n xs
  | foldl (+) 0 (take l xs) <= n = sumListCond (l + 1) n xs
  | otherwise = foldl (+) 0 (take (l - 1) xs)


I get this strange thing

sumListCond :: Int -> Int -> [Int] -> Int
sumListCond l n xs
\begin{center} \begin{tabular}{l}
foldl(+)0(takelxs)<=n=sumListCond(l+1)nxs \\
otherwise = foldl (+) 0 (take (l - 1) xs)   \\ \end{tabular} \end{center}


Who tell it to create a tabular in the center?
It's inside the source code block so it shoudn't evaluate "|" right?

[Orgmode] Emacs package management with org-mode

[andrea Crotti]

I was keeping a list of packages I use with emacs (here)
http://github.com/AndreaCrotti/Emacs-conf/blob/master/.emacs.d/README.txt

but now I had another idea, why don't create a table with org mode?

I thought a table like

| PACK | UPDATE CMD | REPO | COMMENT | RANK | CONF |

where
PACK: name and link
UPDATE CMD: command shell or elisp to give to update it
REPO: where is actually stored (could be a file or a directory)
CONF: my configuration file

So in this way in my dream if for example I want to update auto-complete
my function
- looks for it on the table
- cd to the right directory
- git pull the differences (and do other things as needed)

and I have all the informations in one table.

It's not so easy I guess but it maybe worth the effort, what do you think?
Thanks

[andrea Crotti]

A question about updating org...
I also have all my .emacs.d under git, so if I put
the whole org-mode in it (46M) I wast a lot of space.
But if I don't then every time I can't just "git pull" but I need more
operations, which can be annoying, how do you deal with it?

For the capitalization I could also always write not capitalized,
it's not a problem.
Given I've always seen the org directives capitalized I thought it 
would be better..

Ok that's really perfect!
The only "problem" is that it keeps exporting the code even without
the :exports none, maybe I need some newlines?

digraph s1 {

Well no that's even better!
In this way I can directly avoid building up my list every time I "boot"
emacs, which takes a lot of time.
I just have to make sure that the hook is always working...

I would also like to check that the new org-file created is in a
