[Orgmode] [babel] help debugging latex export
Hi all!
I've got a very mysterious mystery bug that keeps biting me, and I don't
know how to hunt it down. Even worse, I haven't been able to replicate
it in a small example file... it only happens in this one particular
document, but it happens consistently in that document.
I start with the following source block:
#v+
#+CAPTION: Regression coefficients from standardized model of training trials
#+LABEL: fig:reg-coef-train
#+ATTR_LATEX: width=5in, height=3in
#+BEGIN_SRC R :exports results :file fig-reg-coef-train.png
names - rownames(summary(fit.a.lm.z)$coef)
coefs - summary(fit.a.lm.z)$coef[, 1]
sds - summary(fit.a.lm.z)$coef[, 2]
CI - sds * 1.96
a.coefs - data.frame(label = names, estimate = coefs, sd = sds, lower = coefs
- CI, upper = coefs + CI)
a.coefs.gg -
ggplot(a.coefs,
aes(x = label, y = estimate,
ymin = lower, ymax = upper)) +
geom_pointrange() +
geom_hline(yintercept = 0) +
coord_flip()
a.coefs.gg
#+END_SRC
#+results[9d390c2ddaa0e5cc63614611542c9cfdf0f21d41]:
[[file:fig-reg-coef-train.png]]
#v-
When I run org-export-as-latex on the entire document, this block gets
incorrectly exported as:
#v+
[[file:fig-reg-coef-train.png][file:fig-reg-coef-train.png]]
#v-
Whereas if I select just that block and run org-export-region-as-latex,
it gets correctly exported as:
#v+
\begin{figure}[htb]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=5in, height=3in]{fig-reg-coef-train.png}
\caption{\label{fig:reg-coef-train}Regression coefficients from standardized
model of training trials}
\end{figure}
#v-
This happens to some graphic-producing source blocks in the file and not
others. I haven't been able to figure out what the common element is
that causes some to export correctly under all circumstances, and others
to have a link description added and be exported as plain text.
Does anyone have any advice on how to begin to identify where and why
this is happening?
Thanks,
/au

Eric--
This is great! Thanks very much. If you're accepting feature requests,
I'd still love to have a way to use org-table reference syntax to embed
cell values inline. I don't know whether this is better thought of as a
core or babel feature, though.
Looking at the source of org-table-fix-formulas and
org-table-eval-formula in org-table.el, there may be some room for
refactoring the reference resolution procedure into a standalone
function. I'm in the middle of wrapping up my thesis and moving, so I
definitely won't look at this any time soon. If this itch still needs
scratching in September I may revisit it then. If a talented soul
addresses it before then, even better!
Thanks again,

How can I acieve this, without having to copy - paste the .org file in

a) specify the name of the variable to be analysed
b) the all.org is using basic.org to create the all report, so that
when I change basic.org, the report based on all.org is also changed.
To start, you probably want to use the #+SETUPFILE and #+INCLUDE
directives [fn:1] [fn:2]. An untested Babel-based dynamic solution
might look something like
--8---cut here---start-8---
#+BEGIN_SRC perl :results value org :var $n=10 $file=basic.org
# I've never actually used per with babel,
# so don't know how the :var headers work exactly
for (my $i = 0; $i $n; $i++) {
print #+INCLUDE: $file\n;
}
#+END_SRC
--8---cut here---end---8---
Hope that helps! Let me know what you come up with.

[Orgmode] include value of single table cell in text?
Hello!
Is it possible to include the value of a single cell from an org-mode
table in the body of an org-mode document? That is, given
#+TBLNAME: test-table
| key | value |
|-+---|
| a | 1 |
| b | 2 |
Is there any way to refer to cell @2$2 within the text of an org-mode
document, and have that reference converted to the value 2 during
export?
I believe one approach would be to use babel's in-line source evaluation
capabilities along with the remote() function from the org spreadsheet
editor. But I haven't yet been able to identify the right combination
of those functions to get the desired result. This, for example,
doesn't work for me:
--8---cut here---start-8---
#+TBLNAME: test-table
| key | value |
|-+---|
| a | 1 |
| b | 2 |
I'm testing to see whether
src_emacs-lisp{(org-table-eval-formula remote(test-table @2$2))}
works.
--8---cut here---end---8---
It throws an error during export, because I'm not in a table data field.
Additionally, if there's not already a built-in way to do this, I'd
nominate this functionality for some special syntax. Following babel's
inlining and remote reference conventions, maybe
table{test-table @2$2}
or
test-table:@2$2
This would make it very easy to refer to specific elements the tabular
output of babel blocks, adding to the utility of babel as a
meta-programming language for org-mode.
Thanks for any help!

[Orgmode] [babel] re-hash cached blocks on each execution? or, force re-hash?
Hello! I would find it extremely useful if the org-babel-execute-* family of commands re-hashed the executed blocks on each execution, or, alternatively, accepted a prefix argument that meant re-execute this block even if cached, and replace the cache-hash if necessary. Currently, if a block is cached, when I change something inside the block and then execute the block again, the hash in the #+results line doesn't change. In cases where the contents of the block change but the output of the block does not, this makes it very difficult to tell whether the block has been re-executed or not. If there are good reasons not to re-hash the block on each execution and update the hash in the results line, I would like to be able to force this behavior. In cases where I know that I want the block to be re-hashed and re-executed, it seems like C-u C-c C-c or C-u C-u C-c C-c would be a natural and org-ish way to force this. Here's a simple test case: --8---cut here---start-8--- * elisp example #+source: elisp-test #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :cache yes (print hello world) (print re-hash and re-execute, please!) #+END_SRC #+results[f6dfc164b16889f1569fcd3242ba3de721853bc8]: elisp-test : hello world Now I change the above block in place (but reproduce the changes sequentially here): #+source: elisp-test #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :cache yes (print hello world) (print re-hash and re-execute, please!) #+END_SRC #+results[f6dfc164b16889f1569fcd3242ba3de721853bc8]: elisp-test : re-hash and re-execute, please! Note that the block changed, and the results changed, but the hash did not. Now we change it again, in a way that doesn't change the output: #+source: elisp-test #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :cache yes (setq four (+ 2 2)) (print hello world) (print re-hash and re-execute, please!) #+END_SRC #+results[f6dfc164b16889f1569fcd3242ba3de721853bc8]: elisp-test : re-hash and re-execute, please! Again the block changed, but this time the results did not change and neither did the hash. This makes it very hard to tell whether the code has been re-executed or not. If the hash changed when the block changed, I could tell that the new code had been detected and run. Finally, we check whether the previous change was actually evaluated: * elisp test #+source: elisp-test #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :cache yes (setq four (+ 2 2)) (print hello world) (print re-hash and re-execute, please!) (print four) #+END_SRC #+results[f6dfc164b16889f1569fcd3242ba3de721853bc8]: elisp-test : 4 So the block is re-evaluated when it's changed, but the hash isn't updated. The only way we can tell if an altered block is re-run is if the output changes, but that won't necessarily be the case for every change in a block. It would be very useful if the block were re-hashed before each execution, and the cache line updated whenever the hash changes. One possible solution is to force re-hashing and re-execution with a prefix argument (or double prefix argument, if preferred). --8---cut here---end---8--- Thanks, /au -- Austin Frank http://aufrank.net GPG Public Key (D7398C2F): http://aufrank.net/personal.asc pgpjr3yn7t5DQ.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] [babel] apply #+TABLEFM lines during export?
Hi all--
I have a (hopefully quick question) about formatting tabular output from
ob-R. Consider the following block:
--8---cut here---start-8---
#+source: anova-example
#+BEGIN_SRC R :cache yes :exports results :colnames yes :results value
library(ez)
library(lme4)
eza - ezANOVA(dv = .(Reaction),
sid = .(Subject),
within = .(Days),
data = sleepstudy)
print(eza$ANOVA)
#+END_SRC
--8---cut here---end---8---
This produces the following output:
--8---cut here---start-8---
#+results[7e7015e41d95ed8986fb9a211a8b5c6e121ae99d]: anova-example

8.99534541600196e-21 | * | 0.52384550792003 |
--8---cut here---end---8---
That's more precision than I want in export, so I add a formula line to
the results, hoping to change the formatting of the floats. After
hitting C-u C-u C-c C-c in the table, I get the following:
--8---cut here---start-8---

That's much better! But, if I export this section to LaTeX, the formula
line is not applied and I end up with the full precision in my table.
--8---cut here---start-8---

\end{tabular}
\end{center}
--8---cut here---end---8---
Is there a way to make sure that the table formula is applied to the
results block during export? Alternatively, is there another way to
reduce the precision of the numbers produced during export?

[Orgmode] [babel] key binding requests
Hello! I'm loving the level of polish and sophistication that have been achieved with org-babel. My entire PhD thesis is currently written in org and org-babel, and it's the best authoring system I've ever used. That said, I have a couple of features that I regularly find myself missing. I wonder whether other folks might also find them useful. First, in terms of navigation, I would love to have keybindings under the C-c C-v prefix that would navigate to the next and previous babel blocks. org-babel-goto-named-source-block[fn:1] is great, but a) not all my blocks are named, and b) I don't always remember the name of the block I'm looking for. On that note... Currently, org-babel-goto-named-source-block doesn't currently offer any completion facilities in my setup. Is there a way to hook it into the rest of org's completion mechanisms so that I can hit tab to complete the names of my source blocks? Finally, to go along with facilities to navigate from source block to source block, I'd also make regular use of something like org-execute-src-block-and-step, which would execute the current block and then jump to the next (or previous) one. Thanks again for these excellent tools, /au Footnotes: [fn:1] This is the only function that uses source instead of src in its name.

Is there a way to include remotely generated graphics in a locally exported file? Something like downloading via scp before exporting?

[Orgmode] [org-babel] suggestions for using tikz() graphic device with org-babel-R
Hi all--
I'm very excited about a relatively new R package, tikzDevice. This
takes R graphics and generates LaTeX code inside a tikzpicture
environment that reproduces the desired graphic. This allows, among
other things, for all text in a figure to use the same fonts as the rest
of your document, and for graph annotations to use latex math markup.
I have attached an example org file that has embedded R code that
generates figures using the tikz() device.[fn:1]
The output from a call to tikz() is a .tex file, which is intended to be
included in a larger LaTeX file using the \input{} command.
How would the org-babel gurus suggest that I automate the process of
embedding these TeX-based graphics in an org file? What is the right
combination of :file, :exports, and :results arguments to have the
generated file automatically included by a LaTeX \input{} command?
Thanks for any advice!
/au

#+TITLE: Generating PGF graphics from R in org-babel
#+AUTHOR:Austin F. Frank
#+EMAIL: austin.fr...@gmail.com

#+OPTIONS: H:3 num:nil toc:nil \n:nil @:t ::t |:t ^:t -:t f:t *:t :t

Recently a new =R= package, =pgfSweave=, was announced.[fn:1] This
package boasts a fascinating capability: generating all R graphics as
\{LaTeX} code that will be typeset using the tikz package and included
as PGF graphics.[fn:2] This is an appealing option for several
reasons:
1. Scaling of size and adjustments of position should be handled
seamlessly and without loss of resolution
2. Colors can be specified identically for graphics and any other
markup in the $\LaTeX$ document
3. Since they're just more $\LaTeX$ code, graphics can be manually
edited in emacs
4. Same fonts will be used for text in figures as are used in the
text of the document
5. $\LaTeX$ markup can be used in figure text
6. tikz integrates nicely with Beamer
Given this list of features, I decided to see whether I could get
similar functionality in org-babel.
* R code
** Load =tikzDevice=
First, we need to load the packages required for producing tikz
output in =R=. If all goes well, you should get a message about
the paths to the various programs required to generate $\LaTeX$
markup from within =R=.
#+source: load_tikzDevice
#+BEGIN_SRC R :results output :exports both :cache
## I want to show the messages that are generated when the package is
## loaded. These are printed to the equivalent of stderr, so I have
## to rewrite the `message' function to produce output that I can
## print back later.
tikz.message -
capture.output(withCallingHandlers(library(tikzDevice),
message =
function (m) cat(m$message)))
cat(tikz.message, sep=\n)
#+END_SRC
** R example
#+source: lmer_example
#+BEGIN_SRC R :results output :exports both :cache :session
## I use this library all the time
library(lme4)
## here's the standard example
m - lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (1 | Subject), sleepstudy)
print(m)
#+END_SRC
** Graphics creation
#+source: tikz_example
#+BEGIN_SRC R :results file :exports code :cache :session
library(tikzDevice)
ranef.m - ranef(m, postVar = TRUE)
tikz(file = ranef.tex, width=4, height=4)
print(qqmath(ranef.m))
dev.off()
#+END_SRC
#+BEGIN_CENTER
#+CAPTION: sample graphics
\input{ranef}
#+END_CENTER

Dan-- Very nice.

A smarter version might try to restore the window config From before org-buffers-list was called. See ibuffer-quit for an example. Will report back after more testing!

This works correctly for my test file on Org-mode version 6.35b
(release_6.35b.30.g9115). It also works for a more complex document
with my full configuration loaded.
In case it matters, the \tolerance{1000} line doesn't show up with an
org-reload. I had to restart emacs before that aspect of the default
header was incorporated. But I could be imagining things on that one.

Hello!
I'm having trouble getting the new latex export set up correctly. Below
I start with a a bare-bones config file, as follows:
1. start with emacs -Q, then do
2. (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name path/to/org.git/lisp))
3. (require 'org-install)
I then document some unexpected behavior when exporting to latex.
Options specified with #+LATEX_HEADER are not exported, and if
`org-export-latex-packages-alist' is customized then only those packages
are exported.
Thanks for any help,

[Orgmode] [org-timer] mode line request
Hi! Would it be possible for timers set using org-timer-set-timer to display their current value in the mode line? I think all of the required pieces to implement this exist already, but I haven't been able to get it to work. The relevant functions seem to be org-timer-update-mode-line and parts of org-timer-show-remaining-time. I'd like to be able to watch as the timer counts down towards zero. If this behavior isn't desired generally, could we introduce a variable to control whether these timers are shown in the mode line?

[Orgmode] [org-habit] repetition specification
Hello-- I'm trying to get started with org-habit, which looks to be a great addition to the already fantastic org-mode. For me, certain habitual tasks are best thought of as do this n times within d days. For example, I might try to exercise 5 times per 7 days, to eat my vegetables 3 times per 1 day, or to clean the oven 4 times per 365 days. Similar to the original description of habits, it doesn't matter exactly when within the period these events occur, nor is any one occurrence especially important. Rather, I just want to see if I'm getting close to my desired number of repetitions within a given period. Is there a way of mapping this conception of habitual repetitions into the functions provided by org-habit? Is there a different way to do this in org-mode that I'm missing?

Tangling of embedded code is a good comparison. more importantly, I often will prepare more than one presentation based on a given project and each presentation will be substantially different enough to make it difficult to embed slides. Yes, this I can see. However, the type of different content you may wish to attach/embed will depend on its final purpose. That is, in terms of presentations, who will be in the audience? These are good points. My inclination would be to handle variations on the same talk using git. For projects where this workflow makes sense, I would write the initial paper and presentation together. Upon completion, I would make a git tag marking the finished state for that version of the talk. Subsequent talks could be created by creating a branch. In most cases, I would probably edit the slides-only version of the file directly (rather than in the context of the original paper). Since slides are mostly just headlines with special tags and properties, at the end of the process I could easily selectively export just the text of the dissertation or just the embedded slides. This begs the question: maybe an export to org based on tags function is all that is required? And this is probably already implemented; I hesitate to suggest how or where, given my lack of awareness of all the various multitude of features of org-mode, but I can imagine that sparse trees could be part of any solution? Yes, I think that the basis of the export function will be building a sparse tree and then exporting the visible buffer. I wouldn't say this is all that is required, though. I'd really like to have the *** embedded slide *** END style of inline definition. Again, this allows slides to be embedded without changing the surrounding outline context. Just some thoughts...

[Orgmode] [org-beamer] inline slides?
Carsten and other beamerers--
Thanks for the excellent extension to org. I've used it for one
presentation already and found it quite useful.
I have an idea that doesn't yet qualify as a feature request, more like
an idea for discussion. What do people think about the idea of adding
the capability to write inline slides, akin to the way we can currently
write inline TODO items?
The parallels between the two applications seem pretty significant to
me. Sometimes you're in the middle of a long block of text or an
outline tree where you don't want to disrupt the structure, and you want
to add a different kind of content alongside the current material.
The application I have in mind has to do with writing my doctoral
thesis. I know that I'll be writing long chapters; I also know that
I'll have to prepare slides for my public defense. Ideally, during the
writing process I'll be able to notice a series of important points and
drop into an inline slide to jot them down for the talk. Similarly, I
could see wanting to start a section with an overview slide, but not
wanting to alter the structure of the section.
Since slides are mostly just headlines with special tags and properties,
at the end of the process I could easily selectively export just the
text of the dissertation or just the embedded slides.
Early on in the process of developing org-beamer, a suggestion was made
that footnotes could serve as a way of entering \note{} elements into
beamer slides. That proposal sees notes as ways of annotating slides.
I'm interested in sort of flipping that idea around, so that slides are
basically short annotations of the major points in my thesis.
Do people think that an inline-slides interface akin to the inline-tasks
interface would be a useful way of incorporating beamer slides into org
documents?
Thanks,
/au

I'd suggest using :results output, and controlling the width of the output with options(width=whatever) in R. E.g. #+begin_src R :session babeltest :colnames t :results output options(width=80) summary(cbind(babeltest, babeltest)) #+end_src I don't know whether this will end up fitting into your setup, but there's an emacs function `ess-execute-screen-options' that does what Dan just suggested on a per-session basis taking the width of the current buffer into account. Even if it doesn't help with org-bable, it makes life in ESS much pleasanter. You can also look at the latex() function in the R package Hmisc and the function xtable() from the R package xtable. For data frames, matrices, and some common summary functions, these functions will create a latex table out of your R object. Maybe Dan can suggest how latex code generated in R could be properly included and typeset in org-babel.

Many functions that print output to the interactive buffer will not produce that output when called outside of the interactive buffer.

[Orgmode] application switching hook
Hi all-- I'd like to extend my time tracking to some activities outside of emacs. More specifically, I'd like to be prompted to log a note in the active time clock block whenever I change to an application outside of emacs. I'm trying to be honest with myself about why I move from one application to another (the difference between needed a reference from Zotero and got bored so went to check the score of the baseball game). In Mac OS X, I switch applications using the Command-Tab key sequence. I suspect that the solution to my problem involves writing some applescript that fires a call to emacsclient every time Command-Tab is pressed, or perhaps every time the focused application changes. I think the relevant command line call will be something like emacsclient -e (progn (org-clock-goto) (org-add-note)) But maybe other people have better ideas for this part of the solution. Perhaps calling a remember template with the current clock as its target (using whichever function drives `C-2 C-c C-c' in the remember buffer) would be better? Unfortunately, I know nothing of applescript and haven't turned up any promising leads in web searches. I know I've seen some applescript posted to this list before, so someone out there must know something about it. Any chance one of you folks has an idea about how to implement this functionality? Alternatively, does emacs have something like an `emacs-loses-focus-hook'? I don't see anything using `M-x apropos' or `M-x apropos-variable' for focus, but perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place.

Yes, I will use this. I think that the case I described where I wanted both a GOAL and a DEADLINE for the same task can be handled reasonably well by creating two different tasks and giving each a due date. So instead of * TODO submit manuscript GOAL: optimistic date DEADLINE: hard deadline I can do * TODO submit manuscript DUE: optimistic date *** publisher deadline DUE: hard deadline This way I have all of the information in one place, and both dates get into the agenda. The top level TODO and its due date represent my goal for submitting. The sub-heading isn't a TODO because I'm working on my schedule, not theirs. But, I put the hard deadline there just in case my schedule and the official deadline get too close for comfort. Also, if I keep them close together, then follow mode helps me see both at the same time. I don't know if DEADLINE timestamps are supposed to be applied to non-TODO headings, but it didn't seem to break anything, so I'm going to go forward with this approach for now.

[Orgmode] GOAL keyword with DEADLINE semantics?
Hi all! Currently we can use the DEADLINE keyword to indicate a target date for an item to be finished. By my way of thinking, deadlines make sense for externally imposed constraints. I also try to set goals for myself for when an item will be completed. These are softer than deadlines, but I think they could share the same semantics for creation, display, and export. Would it be possible to make `org-deadline-string' a list of strings that get handled in the same way as DEADLINE is currently handled? That way I could do things like * TODO write first chapter GOAL: 2009-03-09 Mon * TODO submit manuscript GOAL: 2009-05-15 Fri DEADLINE: 2009-06-01 Mon Where the first represents my own planning process and the second contains my target completion date (trying to work ahead!) and the hard constraint imposed by whoever I'm submitting to. In all cases, I'd like agenda notification as the date approaches, I'd like to know if I've passed it by, and I'd like the option of including it in ical export. Or maybe I should just learn to treat my GOALs like DEADLINEs and stop letting myself off the hook so easily ;) Do other people think about things this way? Would you have a use for a customizable list of keywords that all had the same semantics that DEADLINE currently has?

Maybe it makes sense for people who still cling to the idea that there are useful modes outside of org-mode ;) You are describing here a case, where you actually never want to use the original function of that key M-RET, right? Yes, I almost never want to use `message-newline-and-reformat'. (defun org-run-insert-heading () (interactive) (run-like-in-org-mode 'org-insert-heading)) Did not know about `run-like-in-org-mode'. Very cool. What I have now done as well is to extend orgstruct++-mode so that it will do what you ask for. You neet to pull the git version for this change. I use this full time in text-based modes now. It's especially great for composing emails (message-mode) and editing commit messages (magit-log-edit-mode). Thanks for adding this feature. I understand why it can't be the default, but I would encourage folks to try it. It works really well for me.

[Orgmode] bug? in orgstruct-mode
Hi all-- In normal org buffers, creating a new list item works fine at the end of a multi-line list item, or on the line following a multi-line list item, even if the multi-line item covers lots of lines. In orgstruct-mode, it seems that new items can't be inserted unless the current line is a list item. Can orgstruct-mode be made to be as good as org-mode at recognizing when it's in a plain list? It'd be nice to be able to create a new list item after a multi-line item in orgstruct-mode. Steps to reproduce: 1. emacs -Q -nw test.txt 2. `M-:' (require 'org-install) 3. `M-x orgstruct-mode' 4. Create a list item like --8---cut here---start-8--- - item 1 --8---cut here---end---8--- 5. `M-return' to get a new list item 6. `C-u C-4 C-0 x SPC C-u C-4 C-0 x' to get two long words 7. `M-q' to wrap the long list item. Now looks like: --8---cut here---start-8--- - item 1 - --8---cut here---end---8--- 8a. At the end of the third line, try to add a new list item with `M-return'. I get the message: #v+ orgstruct-error: This key has no function outside structure elements #v- 8b. At the beginning of a new line below the third line, hit `M-return'. Same error. Expected behavior: Following the same sequence in org-mode, steps 8a and 8b will both result in a new list item being created correctly. This took me longer to figure out than it should have, but this also has an unpleasant interaction with the default keybindings for message-mode. If I am writing an email and try to insert a new list item after a wrapped like using `M-return' I end up invoking `message-newline-and-reformat', which moves me down a line and then inserts four blank lines-- not what I wanted to do! If orgstruct-mode learns to recognize when it's in plain list context, this problem will disappear :) Thanks! /au -- Austin Frank http://aufrank.net GPG Public Key (D7398C2F): http://aufrank.net/personal.asc pgpwfjH0ec1U6.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Re: Org-mode and ESS
On Tue, Nov 11 2008, Graham Smith wrote:
Is any one using Org-mode with ESS. ESS seems to need a file with a
*.R name to work, but it would be really useful to use Org-mode
features to keep notes of comments and code, before sending to R, and
of course to copy results back into an Org-Mode file from R.
As a search here and a google hasn't thrown up anything obvious, I
assume not, but I thought I would ask.
In my local git repo of the org sources I have a pretty nice setup for
using R or S inside org-mode. I liked the in-file native editing of
source code so much that I decided that I wanted to use org files as
source files with Sweave (instead of using .Rtex or .Rnw files). My
goal was to export documents with embedded R code, rather than to use
org within the comments of R files. I can certainly see a use for the
latter approach (which seems to be what you have in mind), as well.
There was recently a thread where someone created a preprocessing system
for specific types of blocks. That would be another possible strategy
for evaluating blocks of R code before export. Since that facility
didn't exist yet and there was already the extensible Sweave
pre-processor, I took the route of making Sweave org-aware.
Basically, in the workflow I've developed, I create a file with the
extension .Rorg, say homework_key.Rorg. Within that file, I can embed
blocks of R code, and can refer to variables defined in the R code
contained in the document.
--8---cut here---start-8---
#+BEGIN_R
a - 3
a
#+END_R
* the value of a is \R{a}
* the value of a + 3 is \R{a + 3}
--8---cut here---end---8---
Executing C-c ' inside the block takes you into a temporary buffer
that's in ESS mode, with full support for interactive evaluation.
When I'm ready to export, I run the R command
Sweave(homework_key.Rorg, driver=RweaveOrgLatex, syntax=SweaveSyntaxOrg).
(I've defined those driver and syntax functions locally). This creates
a new file, homework_key.org. In the new file, the above text would be
translated into
--8---cut here---start-8---
#+BEGIN_LATEX
\begin{Schunk}
\begin{Sinput}
a - 3
a
\end{Sinput}
\begin{Soutput}
[1] 3
\end{Soutput}
\end{Schunk}
#+END_LATEX
* the value of a is 3
* the value of a + 3 is 6
--8---cut here---end---8---
The plain homework_key.org file could then be exported into \LaTeX. It
even works with the new pdf export.
I haven't put the code anywhere public because there are several things
I still need to do:
- test graphic creation and export
- improve generation of latex headers
- automate processing from .Rorg to .tex (or .pdf) (currently at least 3
steps, should be 1)
- come up with suggested keybindings for inserting the #+BEGIN/END_R
blocks
- create a driver to generate HTML instead of \LaTeX
Still, it is in a works-for-me state at the moment, and I could send a
pull request to Carsten or could push it worg if folks were interested.
Let me know,

With that questions answered it should be relatively straightforward
to implement exporting as you described using only org-mode's block
processing, and letting ESS do the actual calculations all without any
dependence on Sweave.
There is a Sweave.sty that handles formatting of the Schunk, Sinput, and
Soutput environments. While you may not need to depend on Sweave for
the preprocessing step, it would be nice if the formatted document at
least had the option of having the same appearance as Sweave-processed
files. Still, I suppose I could just add a #+LATEX_HEADER line for
these files.
if you have examples of graphic creation, I'd be interested to see how
they work, and relatedly how difficult it would be to move that
functionality into org-mode.
OK, here comes the first attempt. The additional feature demonstrated
in this example is the inclusion of options to the Sweave preprocessor
at the beginning of the block. In this case I've specified fig=TRUE to
tell the preprocessor to generate image files for the plot commands
contained in the block. By default, Sweave creates a .eps and a .pdf
file for each block that contains a plotting or printing command and has
the fig=TRUE argument, and then inserts an \includegraphics{} command in
the output file.

Description: Adobe PDF document
I haven't looked into it too closely, but I would guess that when
fig=TRUE is specified, first the R block is run, and then the additional
R commands
dev.copy2eps()
dev.copy2pdf()
are run. This results in the creation of eps and pdf files based on the
last thing plotted. The functions could each take a file=foo argument
(the filename defaults to Rplots.[eps|pdf]). Sweave uses automatically
incremented names for its generated graphics files. If your block
system could have an after-block hook, you could evaluate the original
block, then the appropriate dev.copy function, and then add an
additional line to the exported file for inclusion of the graphics file.
However I think the rest of the point you make immediately below would
be easily addressed through using an org-mode only approach.
Exciting! If you're interested in what other options the Sweave
preprocessor contains, the manual can be found at
http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~dscott/782/Sweave-manual-20060104.pdf.
Sweave also has a processing option called tangle. This extracts all
of the R code from a document and puts into its own file. This would be
a useful feature in a generic block exporter as well, I would think.
Take all of the blocks of a certain type and dump the content into a
file with the appropriate extension for whatever the major mode was for
that block.
Finally , a couple of systems for caching Sweave output have sprung up.
I think these use the strategy of hashing the content of each block,
saving the output of each block, and only re-running the block if the
content has changed. A general-purpose option like this for the block
exporting system in org could be very nice to have. It's possible that

[Orgmode] possible latex export bug
Hello!
I'll start by confessing up front that I've been tinkering with
different exporting functions these past few weeks, so it's possible
that the bug I'm reporting here is of my own making. I can't track it
down, so here I am, hat in hand, to ask
a) is this reproducible? and,
b) if not, any idea which functions I should look at to chase it
down?
If I have the following org file
--8---cut here---start-8---
* this is a test
#+begin_latex
\mu
#+end_latex
--8---cut here---end---8---
and run org-export-as-latex, I get the following output
--8---cut here---start-8---
% normal preamble stuff
% ...
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\section*{this is a test}
\mu
\end{document}
--8---cut here---end---8---
That's the correct behavior. If I use this org file
--8---cut here---start-8---
* this is a test
#+begin_latex
\begin{quote}
\mu
\end{quote}
#+end_latex
--8---cut here---end---8---
and run org-export-as-latex, I get
--8---cut here---start-8---
% normal preamble stuff
% ...
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\section*{this is a test}
\begin{quote}
\mu
\end{quote}
#+end_latex
\end{document}
--8---cut here---end---8---
In the second example, the #+end_latex line is not removed during
org-export-to-latex.
Possibly related, possibly unrelated, I'm also seeing that file-local
variables defined at the end of a buffer are being exported verbatim
during org-export-as-latex. This only happens in cases where the
#+end_latex is also erroneously exported.
--8---cut here---start-8---
* this is a test
#+begin_latex
\begin{quote}
\mu
\end{quote}
#+end_latex
#+ Local Variables:
#+ org-export-latex-append-header:
#+ \\usepackage{graphicx}
#+
#+ End:
--8---cut here---end---8---
gives
--8---cut here---start-8---
% normal preamble stuff
% ...
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{quote}
\mu
\end{quote}
#+end_latex
#+ Local Variables:
#+ org-export-latex-append-header:
#+ \\usepackage{graphicx}
#+
#+ End:
\end{document}
--8---cut here---end---8---
This doesn't just apply to the quote environment, I've reproduced it
with other #begin/end_latex blocks that contain latex environments.
That is to say
--8---cut here---start-8---
* this is a test
#+begin_latex
\begin{verbatim}
\mu
\end{verbatim}
#+end_latex
--8---cut here---end---8---
has the same problem of including the #+end_latex tag after export.
This is with Org-mode version 6.08-pre01, GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1
(powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0, *Step 9.0) of 2008-10-01.
Can anyone reproduce this? Any debugging tips?
Thanks,
/au

[Orgmode] #+LATEX_PREAMBLE
Carsten and org-ers--
I have a feature request related to \LaTeX export. I know that we can
set up custom \documentclass declarations in org-export-latex-classes,
and that each of these can contain arbitrary preamble information along
with the \documentclass{} declaration. I also know that the preamble
can be further customized using file local variables to set
org-export-latex-append-header. These two solutions can seem relatively
heavyweight when one just wants to add a new \usepackage{} declaration
to the preamble of a specific file.
Any chance we could have a mechanism to add single line declarations to
the preamble of the exported tex file using the #+FOO syntax? I would
really love to be able to do something like
#+LATEX_PREAMBLE: \usepackage{pstricks}
#+LATEX_PREAMBLE: \usepackage{Sweave}
at the top of a file and have each of those lines inserted before the
\begin{document} line of the exported tex file. I think for readability
and flexibility the possibility of having multiple declarations would be
really nice, but I could certainly live with
#+LATEX_PREABMLE: \\usepackage{pstricks}\n\\usepackage{Sweave}
if that were easier to implement.
Thanks for considering it,
/au

Thanks for the tip. I now to get dumped into r-mode correctly when I

When coming out of r-mode by hitting C-c ' in the Org Edit Src Example

concatenated to the last line of the source code, regardless of how many
new lines are included at the end of the source code in the temporary

since you want to include tis code literally into LaTeX, the best is

Yes, this makes sense. Though, since really all I need to do is wrap
source code written in R in a \LaTeX environment, I might also like to
use
#v+
#+LATEX: \begin{Scode}
a - 3
a
#+LATEX: \end{Scode}
#v-
Take a look at the function org-edit-src-find-region-and-lang. There
is a list of regular expressions that can be used to identify regions
that should be edited in special modes - maybe I can make this list
extensible - first, give it a try and see if you can get it working by
editing the list.
While I think opening up this list to customization is probably a good
idea, I could not get my new entries to behave the way I wanted. The
problem, I suspect, may have to do with the ordering of the different
language environments. Suppose I had
#v+
#+BEGIN_LATEX
\begin{Scode}
a - 3
a
\end{Scode}
#+END_LATEX
#v-
in an org file. I guess that I want the code within the Scode
environment to me in r-mode, and the code outside of that but still
within the LATEX block to be in LaTeX-mode. In what order should these
two definitions appear within the re-list?
FWIW, attached is a patch of the setup I tried to use. When I hit C-c '
inside either of the above examples, I get a temporary buffer that's in
latex-mode. I was hoping to get a temporary buffer in r-mode. I also
tried a version of the code that used the same entries in the re-list,
but put them at the bottom, under the entries for ascii. Same results.
Thanks for any further advice,

[Orgmode] org-agenda-busy-at
Carsten and other org-folk-- Any chance that it would be possible to query the agenda to see whether anything is scheduled at a particular time? The application I have in mind is scheduling new events with remember templates. If there's already something in the agenda for the timestamp I enter in a new remember entry, I would love to be given the message There is already an event scheduled at that time. Really use this timestamp? I could see a further extension of this, such that it allowed different behavior for different kinds of time stamps. Something like (setq org-agenda-busy-warn '(active . t) '(scheduled . -1h +1h) '(deadline . +3d)) would warn you if you tried to add a new timestamp that occurred within the range of an active timestamp; and would warn you if the new timestamp were within plus or minus one hour of a timestamp with the SCHEDULED property; and would also warn you if you tried to add a new timestamp within three days of a deadline. You tried to create a new event with timestamp 2008-10-31 20:00-21:30. There is already an entry with timestamp 2008-10-31 20:30-12:00. You have an event SCHEDULED at 2008-10-31 19:30. You have a DEADLINE on 2008-11-2. Proceed/Edit timestamp/Cancel? We could then use a function, org-agenda-busy-at, to check timestamps included in new remember notes before they get filed. I don't know whether this kind of information is easily retrievable from the agenda, or whether it could be stored as the agenda is built. Is there someplace in the code that I should look to check into the feasibility of this idea? Is it just impossible? Is it one of those things where Carsten says a mystical incantation and it's done?

[Orgmode] org-export-sweave
Hello!
Sweave is a preprocessing step that can be applied to LaTeX files that
contain code written in the S or R programming languages. Sweave allows
authors to embed their statistical analyses in body of their LaTeX
articles, enabling what I find to be a very nice style of literate
programming. It seems to me like org currently has all of the
functionality needed to be a top-notch Sweave authoring environment, but
I can't get the pieces to work correctly together. So this is both a
feature request and a request for implementation advice.
I'm hoping that it will be possible to add an option for exporting
Sweave blocks from org mode. A Sweave block in LaTeX looks like
% NB: options are comma separated, spaces are optional
\begin{Scode}{opt1=foo, opt2=bar,opt3=baz}
a - 3
a
\end{Scode}
Right now I can easily get this exported using
#+LATEX: \begin{Scode}{opt1=foo, opt2=bar,opt3=baz}
a - 3
a
#+LATEX: \end{Scode}
But I would also like to be able to use the native editing mode for
writing the code, as happens in #+BEGIN_SRC blocks. I can't currently
get a combination of #+BEGIN_SRC and #+LATEX blocks to work.
Would it be possible to have something like
#+BEGIN_SWEAVE: language opt1=foo, opt2=bar, opt3=baz
a - 3
a
#+END_SWEAVE
where the code inside the SWEAVE block is edited in the appropriate
major mode for the language argument? An actual use, then, would look
like
#+BEGIN_SWEAVE: r fig=TRUE, echo=FALSE,keep.source=TRUE
x - runif(100, 0, 100)
y - runif(100, 0, 100)
plot(x ~ y)
#+END_SWEAVE
C-c ' inside the block would call out to r-mode from the package ESS.
LaTeX export would result in
\begin{Scode}{fig=TRUE, echo=FALSE,keep.source=TRUE}
x - runif(100, 0, 100)
y - runif(100, 0, 100)
plot(x ~ y)
\end{Scode}
The file output by export to LaTeX should have the extension .Rtex. The
author can then run Sweave on the file to generate a .tex file, and then
the normal LaTeX compilation process continues.
I've started trying to put this together myself, but haven't gotten very
far. Some of the existing behavior for exporting source code relies on
prefixing the code inside the block with a ':' at the beginning of the
line, which then results in a verbatim environment in LaTeX. I can't
figure out how to override this selectively for Sweave blocks, while
retaining the major-mode switching with C-c '.
Thanks for any implementations tips or (even better!) working
implementations ;)

[Orgmode] Re: Org mode release 6.04
On Sun, May 25 2008, Carsten Dominik wrote: Editing source code example in the proper mode -- If you are writing a document with source code examples, you can include these examples into a `#+BEGIN_SRC lang ... #+END_SRC' or (with the org-mtags module loaded) a `src...' structure. `lang' stands for the Emacs mode used for editing the language, this could be `emacs-lisp' for Emacs Lisp mode examples, or `org' for Org mode examples. You can now use the key C-c ' (that is C-c followed by the single quote) to edit the example in its native mode. This works by creating an indirect buffer, narrowing it to the example and setting the appropriate mode. You need to exit editing by killing that indirect buffer, with `C-x k'. This is important, because lines that have syntactic meaning in Org will be quoted when the indirect buffer is killed. Carsten-- This is a phenomenally exciting addition. Combining this with the htmlized code examples in html export, and the option for \LaTeX export, org has clearly just vaulted past the rest of the field for literate programming. Expect a tutorial from me in the next few weeks about using org with RWeave (the R variant of SWeave). This will be a fantastic way to write articles that include statistical analyses and figures. That said, don't be surprised if by opening this door you end up with some new feature requests from me :) One addition that I can already see being interested in is the evaluation of embedded code before export, so that the results of the code are included along with the source. Obviously, there are security issues here that will need to be thought about, but I'd like to see if we could make this work. Greedy feature requests aside, this is very, very cool. I guess it would be nice to exit with `C-c C-c', but who knows what this key is supposed to do in a random mode. I can tell you now that C-c C-c is almost as overloaded in R-mode (from the package ESS) as it is in org-mode, and I will want it to have its R-mode interpretation while I edit R code. While I'm writing, I'll try to keep an eye out for sensible ways of jumping out of coding mode and back to org-mode.

[Orgmode] adding semantics to properties
Hello all-- I recently had an idea for a possible generalization of some existing org-mode functionality, and I wonder whether others would find it useful and whether implementing it seems feasible. One way to think of org is as program for creating structured texts with the ability to associate arbitrary meta-data at any point in the hierarchy. This meta-data comes in two general forms: structured and unstructured. Structured meta-data in org includes todo state, priority level, tags, deadlines, schedules, timeclocks, categories, and probably some others that I'm forgetting. Unstructured meta-data is stored in properties. My proposal is that we add the ability to store structured meta-data in properties. The current forms of structured meta-data fall into classes with similar functionality. Most importantly, we have interfaces for adding, manipulating, and searching tags, timestamps, and states. As org has developed, we've seen the addition of different todo cycles and tag sets. I think it would be useful not only to be able to define these different sets, but to store them independently as well. I propose that users should be able to declare that a given property has a particular kind of interpretation, and that in doing so they gain access to org's existing interfaces for that kind of information. For example, rather than having a single tag line that holds all of my tag-like information about an entry, I could split the tags up into meaningful classes in properties of the entry. For example, when I go to set the PEOPLE property, I would get to use org's tag selection interface rather than plain text entry. In another case, I might have multiple todo cycles that are relevant to the same entry: I could have a WRITING property that used todo semantics, and an associated todo cycle, and I could still have my general todo cycle stored in the default TODO property using its own cycle. To be a bit more concrete, I'm proposing that an entry like #v+ * NEXT Research project :advisor1:advisor2:computer:office:writing:analysis: #v- could actually be stored as something like #v+ :PROPERTIES: :TODO: NEXT :WRITING: EDIT :PEOPLE: :advisor1:advisor2: :EQUIPMENT: :computer: :LOCATION: :office:lab: :TASK_TYPE: :writing:analysis: :END: #v- Important to note are that I have multiple banks of tags and multiple todo cycles within a single entry. The display of the headline could be almost the same-- display the union of all the tags from all of properties using tag semantics, and maybe display only one todo state by default. I envision this sort of setup would being based on user configurations like: #v+ (setq org-tag-alist '((:PEOPLE:) (advisor1 . ?a) (advisor2 . ?b)) org-todo-keywords '((:WRITING:) (DRAFT EDIT DISTRIBUTE REVISE | SUBMIT))) (org-declare-property PEOPLE 'tagged) (org-declare-property WRITING 'cycled) (org-declare-property LAST_REVISED 'timestamped) #v- With a setup like this, when I did C-c C-x C-p PEOPLE, I would get a tag selection interface that included tags only from the PEOPLE tagset. C-c C-x C-p WRITING would let me cycle through the appropriate todo states. C-c C-x C-p LAST_REVISED would give me the timestamp entry dialog. Given that there are already a set of special properties that use each of the above semantics, my proposal boils down to letting users declare their own special properties with those same semantics. Org is clearly a great tool already. In fact, I like its different interfaces so much that I want to be able to use them in even more ways. Do people think this generalization of existing org interfaces to arbitrary properties is an interesting idea? Would you use it?

[Orgmode] tags in remember templates
Hello!
Two quick questions about tags in remember templates. First, should
this line (line number 13423 in org.el v5.19a) in
org-remember-apply-template also include G?
(while (re-search-forward %^\\({\\([^}]*\\)}\\)?\\([guUtT]\\)? nil t)
Second, I set the value of org-tags-alist in my org-config.el (loaded by
my .emacs). This allows me to have access to a useful set of default
tags in every buffer, but these tags aren't available for completion in
remember templates. Would it be possible to include the value of
org-tags-alist in the tags that are available for completion, at least
for %^G? It would be very useful to me to have access to these tags as
well as any defined in the file.
Thanks,

[Orgmode] FR: interactive todo creation with remember templates
Hello again! I love all of the options that are available for inclusion in remember templates. I've got templates for the kinds of tasks I create most often. But sometimes I find myself saying man, I wish I could just tack a %^G onto this template, or something similar. These aren't task types that I use often enough to justify giving them their own templates, but I still want to have access to the features offered in remember templates. Would it be possible to build a single-use remember template through prompts at the minibuffer? I imagine that I would call org-remember, and one of the options would be [i]nteractive. Upon hitting i, a menu (like the one for fast tag selection) would come up. It would look like t: timestamp T: timestamp with time u: inactive timestamp c: clipboard contents g: tag selection from target file k: insert keyword information [...] Pressing any of the keys would either enter that feature in the current remember buffer, or open the appropriate prompt in the minibuffer. This has several advantages over just visiting the appropriate file and entering the task manually: single key strokes for some common operations (e.g. timestamps), access to link keywords, file inclusion, and sexp evaluation. It might also be possible to use this to extend an existing template on a per-use basis. I could call org-remember, and instead of hitting t for my todo template, I would hit C-u t. This would insert the normal contents of my todo template, but also prompt for additional template options. Is something like this possible?

Understandable, for exactly the reasons you mention below. --8---cut here---start-8--- * Standing Appointments ** Swing III *** TODO Week 1 2008-01-21 Mon 19:30-21:30 *** TODO Week 2 2008-01-28 Mon 19:30-21:30 *** TODO Week 3 2008-02-04 Mon 19:30-21:30 --8---cut here---end---8--- I'd say this is a pretty good way of dealing with a limited amount of meetings. I will probably use this structure to deal with this case. I would still appreciate any suggestions from the list on how to include recurring events as TODO items without marking them as SCHEDULED or DEADLINE. Has anyone else dealt with this situation? Yes, I am lazy to no implement this, but believe me, time stamp handling is complex already, in part because I have been adding the new features one at a time. Had I know from the start what kind of features would be goot, time ranges with repeater intervals would probably be in. Now, it is hard to do. I'll put it into my tickler file, but no promises Org is obviously already incredibly useful. I'm certainly not complaining, just looking for the best way to fit org to my thinking and vice versa.

[Orgmode] displaying outline path in agenda
Hi! Apologies for the rash of posts. Hopefully some of these will be useful, if only by chance :) I recently wrote about a way for recording an event that only repeats a few times, using something like --8---cut here---start-8--- * Standing Appointments ** TODO Swing III *** Week 1 2008-01-21 Mon 19:30-21:30 *** Week 2 2008-01-28 Mon 19:30-21:30 *** Week 3 2008-02-04 Mon 19:30-21:30 --8---cut here---end---8--- One problem with this approach is that the agenda entry is not especially informative-- simply Week 1. I'd like to edit the function that generates the agenda entries from active timestamps to include the option of using new outline path notation. In this case, the agenda would read Standing Appointments/Swing III/Week 1. I've already identified org-get-outline-path and org-format-agenda-line as functions that might be relevant, but it seems to me that org-format-agenda-line comes in to late in the process. What I really want is to replace use the outline path as the txt argument to org-format-agenda-line. Can anyone point me towards the part of the org.el source I should be looking at for adding this functionality?

[Orgmode] FR: multiple or repeating active timestamps in agenda
Hello! I'm getting to the point of actually using org for organization (as opposed to using it for note taking and publishing and procrastination). Currently, when a repeated task is marked as done, it shows up again in the agenda on the date of the next occurrence of the task as long as the task is scheduled or has a deadline. I'd like to request two additions to this behavior. First, would it be possible to add this same feature for active timestamps that don't occur in a SCHEDULED or DEADLINE line? I follow the advice in the manual and don't use SCHEDULED for meetings, but I do have some recurring meetings. So, for the following entry: --8---cut here---start-8--- * Standing Appointments ** TODO Meeting with Mike 2008-01-23 Wed 10:00-11:30 +1w --8---cut here---end---8--- I'd like to be able to mark it as done every week, without needing it to be SCHEDULED or have a DEADLINE. Currently, the first time I mark it as done, all past and future repetitions are also marked as done. Second, for some events with only a few repetitions I create multiple active timestamps within one entry instead of using a repeating timestamp. So, for example, I have an entry like: --8---cut here---start-8--- * Standing Appointments ** TODO Swing III 2008-01-21 Mon 19:30-21:30 2008-01-28 Mon 19:30-21:30 2008-02-04 Mon 19:30-21:30 --8---cut here---end---8--- Given that we can't combine repetition intervals with date ranges (or can we?), would it be possible to add a new behavior to deal with this case? When a TODO entry contains multiple time stamps, all of them would show up in the agenda as TODO items. Marking the item as done would use the same logic used for dealing with repeaters, and would continue to include the next active timestamp in the agenda as a TODO. In the past I have dealt with this second case by adding more structure to the task: --8---cut here---start-8--- * Standing Appointments ** Swing III *** TODO Week 1 2008-01-21 Mon 19:30-21:30 *** TODO Week 2 2008-01-28 Mon 19:30-21:30 *** TODO Week 3 2008-02-04 Mon 19:30-21:30 --8---cut here---end---8--- This gets the job done, but seems unnecessarily cluttered and redundant to me.

[Orgmode] org-mairix bug?
Hello! I'm working on integrating mairix into my email workflow. The recently added nnmairix in gnus is a great tool-- I encourage any gnus + mairix users to try it. I'd like to make use of org-mairix as well, but I am having some trouble. The link seems to be built correctly, containing the proper options and message id. Unfortunately, it seems that the arguments to mairix aren't being constructed correctly. For me, to get any searches to work, I needed to append m: in front of the message-id in the search argument to org-mairix-command-substitution. I think this is just an oversight on the original author's part, as the function org-mairix-gnus-display-results actually checks for this string. In any case, I think the fix could look something like this --8---cut here---start-8--- (defun org-mairix-command-substitution (cmd search args) Substitute '%search%' and '%args% in mairix search command. (while (string-match %search% cmd) (setq cmd (replace-match search 'fixedcase 'literal (concat m: cmd (while (string-match %args% cmd) (setq cmd (replace-match args 'fixedcase 'literal cmd))) cmd) --8---cut here---end---8--- This allows my links in org mode to single out the message with the specified ID. I get complaints from org-mairix-gnus-display-results because it doesn't think the first two characters of the search are m:... I can't figure out why this is the case. Thanks for org-mairix. I hope this report is useful. /au -- Austin Frank http://aufrank.net GPG Public Key (D7398C2F): http://aufrank.net/personal.asc pgp9tS4fWkyak.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] integrating org-mairix and nnmairix
Hello again! Right now org-mairix provides a very useful piece of functionality. It stores the message-id of an email, and creates a link from that message-id which allows that specific email to be recovered using the mairix search tool. This is great for making todo items out of individual mails, or for filing mails away for future reference. Mairix provides the ability to search for lots of things other than message-ids, though, and I think some of them would be useful in org. For example, at the top of a project tree it might be useful to have a link to a search like --8---cut here---start-8--- mairix -t fc:[EMAIL PROTECTED] d:20080101- --8---cut here---end---8--- This would give me a quick way to access all of the threads from, to, or cc'd to [EMAIL PROTECTED] since the first of the year. Assuming that's when the project began, a search like this would be an excellent way to get quick access to the emails relevant to the project. So, I'd like to see org-mairix extended to include ways to build links using more than just message-ids. Recently the nnmairix backend for gnus has been released. It includes several great ways to build mairix searches from within emacs. Users can specify an arbitrary search string (nnmairix-search), build a search string via interactive prompts in the minibuffer (nnmairix-search-interactive), or use a neat widget interface to build searches (nnmairix-widget-search). Would it be possible to call these functions from org-mairix to build more sophisticated searches for links? I believe that this would not even be gnus-specific, as the same searches should work regardless of the client that eventually displays the results. On a gnus-specific note, nnmairix also includes some functions that might be useful for linking to specific messages. nnmairix-search-from-this-article and nnmairix-search-thread-this-article could both be used in constructing org links to individual messages, I think. I should add that in some cases, the best option might be to create search groups (nnmairix-create-search-group) and just link to those using the gnus link type rather than using the mairix search type. For the most frequently used searches, I bet this is what I'll do. Even with this option, I still think being able to use all of the mairix search syntax in the mairix link type will end up being useful.

[Orgmode] FR: move subtree to category's file
Hello! I'd like to propose some functionality that I think would be useful, and offer a very naive proof-of-concept implementation. The basic idea is that I'd like to be able to add or change a property on a tree, and then move the whole tree to a location based on that property. To be more concrete, I take lots of notes with remember. They all get saved to ~/notes.org. Later in the day, I go back and add a PROJECT or CATEGORY property to many of these notes. Especially for a tree that has to do with a project, I'd like to be able to quickly file the note away in a file dedicated to that project by moving the tree to a predefined file. I know that there's a lot of power in the one-file-to-rule-them-all approach, and that there are lots of ways I could view just the parts of the file that have to do with a given project. So if this idea is a non-starter, that's fine, too. Still there are some contexts where having multiple files can be a good thing (for example, when using the org-publish-project-alist). I've got a very simple implementation of the idea that goes like this: ;; My filing system (setplist 'project '(research1 ~/research1.org grant1 ~/grant1.org)) (defun aff-org-move-to-project-file () Use value of the PROJECT property to move the subtree at the point to a predefined file. (interactive) (let* ((pom (point)) (file (get 'project (intern (org-entry-get pom PROJECT) (org-cut-subtree) (org-open-file file) (end-of-buffer) (org-paste-subtree))) This is does the basic job, but it'd be neat to see it extended in a couple of ways: - Have a single variable that defines mappings for multiple properties. Something like ;; probably lousy syntax for this, but ;; (PROP_NAME (prop_value associated_info)) (setq org-property-map '((PROJECTS (research research.org grants grants.org)) (CATEGORY (chores home.org - Be able to use the syntax for linking to other org files to specify a location in the other file to insert the tree - With a prefix, be prompted for location to insert the tree in the file, like with remember notes - When more than one property of a given tree has a destination defined, prompt for which location to use - It would also be nice to use these values to build appropriate archive locations, so that (for example) any DONE item with a value of research for the PROJECT category would be archived at the bottom of the research.org file rather than the default org-archive-location. This whole proposal is basically just a generalization of org-archive-subtree and org-archive-location to allow movement and archiving based on properties other than just ARCHIVE. Hopefully this means most of the required functionality is already in place. I know that for my workflow this would be very useful. Would other folks also like to have this functionality?

[Orgmode] org-set-tag-hook
Hello! I am wondering whether it would be possible to introduce a new hook into org-mode. This hook would be run after any tags are added to an entry. The main use would be to check for the presence of some tag among the entry's tags, and execute some function in response to it. I suggest this because I would like to maintain a list of tags that will cause an entry to be excluded from export. I would like to do something like (setq excluded-tags '(home private bills)) (add-hook 'org-set-tag-hook 'excluded-tags '(org-set-property PRIVATE t)) This would automatically set the PRIVATE property of the headline to t whenever one of the members of excluded-tags was added to a headline. From there I think I could wrap the export functions to exclude all entries with a value of t for that property. I hope that, in general, the strategy of setting properties in response to the presence of certain tags will be useful. Do other folks think this would be an interesting addition? Am I overlooking an easy way to accomplish this without adding the hook to org?

On Sat, Sep 01 2007, Anupam Sengupta wrote: I use epg to encrypt the org-mode files. EPG expects the files to have a suffix of .gpg, which conflicts with the .org suffix - however, I circumvent this with a file local mode setting as the first line in my org files: # -*- mode: org; epa-file-encrypt-to: (my private key email ID here); coding: utf-8-unix; -*- This allows the file's major mode to be Org-mode. In addition, the archive files are also encrypted, and hence an over-ride is needed for the file name (otherwise the defaults will conflict): I have ... #+ARCHIVE: ~/org/filename.org_archive.gpg:: In my active Org files - which works fine for the archival process, and ensures that the archives are also encrypted. A few other options: - EPG also has the function epa-encrypt-region. It asks for a recipient's key to use for encrypting, and does symmetric encryption if none is selected. This could be used to selectively encrypt certain subtrees. Especially given that... - message-mode has functions like mml-secure-encrypt (there are lots of others in the mml-secure-* family). These functions use the strategy of inserting tags around the region to be encrypted. I haven't actually read the functions, but from the outside it looks like the tags are used to set the region, the region is encrypted/signed, and then the tags are removed from the outgoing copy of the message. FWIW, the tags look like (the leading # was added by me to keep the tag from actually doing anything in this message): ##secure method=pgpmime mode=sign For interactive encrypting, I think epa-encrypt-region is probably already good enough to do what folks have asked for. For permanently marking a subtree for encryption, maybe we could set a property like ENCRYPT_CHILDREN, or set pairs of properties like ENCRYPT_BEGIN and ENCRYPT_END. The presence of these properties would cause the appropriate region to be selected and passed to epa-encrypt-region when org-encrypt-subtrees or org-encrypt-buffer is called (just speculating about some possible function names). Maybe on org-encrypt-buffer the default is to call epa-encrypt-file unless some portion of the file is marked for encryption, in which case it calls epa-encrypt-region on the appropriate text. The values of the ENCRYPT_* properties could be the key to use, or just t. If the value is t, either the key will be pulled from a file-level variable, or the user will be prompted for which key to use (as epa-encrypt-region normally does).

[Orgmode] another (different) template request
Hello all! I've just finished the collection step of getting started with GTD and am working through my inbox for the first time. I've read the discussions of Org and GTD with great interest. In particular, the post by Carsten at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/715 should be required reading for anyone considering using Org for GTD-- really excellent. Now that I'm actually getting down to brass tacks, I find myself with a feature request. Previously, I've used Org to publish notes about a variety of projects. Now that I'm using Org for GTD as well, I'm discovering that I've got a few different kinds of files: - notes: I consider these a type of reference material in the GTD system - projects: combinations of notes, next actions, links to support materials, and deferred items - web pages: content created explicitly to be published with my projects - other: mostly random stuff I want to keep on my local machine Now, I intend to use one file per project for two reasons. First, it provides nice structure when the files are published. I can have research/projectA and research/projectB on my site, rather than just one huge research.html page. Second, it seems useful to maintain separate sets of tags for different projects. I'm intending to follow Carsten's advice of using tags both for contexts and people. I have different collaborators on different research projects, so each file within the research directory may different tags; personal projects might have tags for my housemates or family. Given the above setup, I'd like to be able to define a few different templates for org file headers. My notes files might have different export options than my projects files, and tags will differ from project to project. I can imagine creating a few such templates: - research project templates (include a line for tags, no pre-defined tags) - personal project templates (predefined tags for the people that tend to be involved in my personal projects) - notes templates (turn on all LaTeX stuff, maybe change #+TYP_TODO) - web page templates (include #+TITLE, maybe change archiving system) I haven't yet investigated the templating options mentioned here (though dmacro sounds like it's got potential). Still, I wonder if a) the feature already exists, or b) other people would be interested in seeing it included in a future version of Org.

Something like |--+-+-| | Date | TV Time (hours) | Running Average | |--+-+-| | 2006-06-24 Sat | 1 | | | 2006-06-25 Sun | 1.5 | | | 2006-06-26 Mon | .5 | 1 | | 2006-06-27 Tue | 3 |1.66 | | 2006-06-28 Wed | 2.5 | 2 | |--+-+-| I just did the numbers for running average in my head-- I'm hoping for help with a formula that will get the mean for the last three rows of the `TV Time' column. I tried using $3=vsum($23-1), but this didn't work. Is there a syntax for accessing row ranges of other columns for a calculation? If not, can anyone suggest an elisp formula that will accomplish this? If a helpful soul is feeling especially generous, is there also a way to set this table up that will calculate the new running average every time I enter a new date's measurement? Extra credit if you use Carsten's constants.el to provide units in the measurment column and the calculated column ;) Thanks for any help, /au -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEoEX8lHMl2/XbR4ERAgQMAKDb48ZGq4JlA8NU4g6jBtV/BG3DBwCfb5at OHz4gmF2ONOcPhOUPGWbXow= =zkAf -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
[Emacs-orgmode] exporting typefaces

I can understand if there's some restriction on the order that the indicators should be stacked in (e.g., _/.../_ instead of /_..._/), but I still hope that there is some syntax for applying multiple typeface markups to the same string.

[Emacs-orgmode] circufix notation for inline pre and strike styling
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello! We already have the ability to add bold, italic, and underline formatting to our documents using circumfix notation (*bold*, /italic/, _underlined_). We can also style entire lines using pre notation by having a colon as the first non-whitespace character on a line, or by putting the line under a QUOTE headline. I would like to see an additional feature added to org which would allow some circumfix notation to be exported with pre/pre tags. This would be useful for including single programming terms in a sentence and setting them apart visually. I'm envisioning something like many programming languages have a ;for; loop. which would be exported as pmany programming languages have a prefor/pre loop./p another possible syntax would be many programming languages have a #for# loop. The specific markup used isn't really important to me, but I would like the ability to specify this kind of formatting for single words instead of whole lines. While I'm at it, is strike-through possible? -event- was canceled could become pstrikeevent/strike was canceled/p Again, any syntax which is easy to parse is fine with me. As mentioned in my previous mail, it would also be nice if these two pieces of markup could stack with each other and the existing markup syntax.

Looking through a few O'Reilly books on my shelf, I see that different books use constant-width bold (bpretext/pre/b) and constant-width italics (ipretext/pre/i) to indicate where a user should enter input in example code. I've been writing a tutorial for use in my lab, and have wanted the ability to typographically distinguish between optional and required parts of our in-house scripting language. I'd like to say All *bold* terms are properties of a certain part. All /*italic bold*/ terms are required properties of that part. I don't know if this request is common enough to warrant inclusion, or how much of a pain it would be to add to the parser, but that's the first example off the top of my head of where I'd use this kind of formatting.

Re: [Emacs-orgmode] configurable link export

David, are you listening? :-) I seem to have a knack for setting David's table. Hi dto! [...] David, what do you think? Austin, do you think this could be a viable way? The solution you propose looks workable to me, and I fully agree with the distinction you make between the role of export and publish in this case.

[Emacs-orgmode] configurable link export
First off, thank you to Carsten and David for org and org-publish. These tools have made it easier to get myself organized locally and online than it ever has been before. I'd like to suggest a configuration option that influences the way links are exported in the org-export-as-* functions. When I create local org files, I link to whatever files on my disk are relevant and useful. When I publish those org files, some of the org links (like to other published org files) still work and make sense as html links. Others (like links to local documents or directories) don't make any sense when published-- the resources they pointed to on the local system aren't on the remote filesystem that hosts the html pages. To be more specific, I maintain a directory ~/notes/ and a directory ~/blog/, each with a bunch of org files underneath it. I then use org-publish to generate the html files, which are then uploaded to my website. Crucially, this same directory structure is mirrored at my website, so local org links between those files work perfectly as html links when they are published and uploaded. I'd love to be able to specify that I want all org links of [file:///home/aufrank/notes/*] and [file:///home/aufrank/blog/*] to be exported as full html links, and exclude org links to any other files on my filesystem at export time. I think that David has established a good system for including and excluding files during publishing. Org-publish first generates a list of files to publish based on regex matching of the extensions of files in a directory. These are filtered through a regex-based exclude list, and then individual files can be added back in with an include list. Applying this strategy to link export, I might want to have something like the following in my org-config.el: (setq org-export-links-extension org\\|txt org-export-links-exclude ~/* org-export-links-include (~/notes/, ~/blog/)) This would result in exporting all of the .org and .txt files in ~/notes/ and ~/blog/ as working links in html files, but would ignore links in org files to anything else in my home directory during export. There's certainly a question about how org links that are not exported as html links should be handled. I would actually be fine with just exporting the double-bracketed notation, but I bet there are better ideas out there. Thanks again for the org suite, /au ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
[Emacs-orgmode] third export request
Last one on this topic, I think :) I don't know if this is more of an org-export or an org-publish request, but I'd like to be able to do something like (setq org-export-as-ascii-directory ~/notes/text/) and have any org-export-as-ascii files sent to that directory. Likewise for the other org-export-as-* functions. It'd be nice to be able to configure where the ical files end up when they're exported, as well. Allowing exports to be written to specific directories seems like it might provide a sensible default for the :publishing-directory plist entry in org-publish-projects-alist, but I admit I haven't thought that through very thoroughly.

Re: [Emacs-orgmode] Use case of TIMESTAMP, SCHEDULED and DEADLINE
Christian Egli wrote: 1. What is the use case of TIMESTAMP? I seem to only have a use for SCHEDULED, so marking them as Scheduled: in the Org-Agenda Week mode is superfluous for me. What do other people use it for? Hello! In my previous thread I noted that I want to use org to manage notes and tasks. This left out an important aspect of the way I have used org and intend to, one of things that actually pushed me toward the system in the first place. I also need to track how I'm spending time on my tasks. I recently lost ~20 lbs, and the most important tool for affecting that change was writing down my weight every day and kept a running average (I used the system described in the Hacker's Diet). Just seeing the trend was enough to keep me motivated to eat a little bit less each day, or find a small extra opportunity to be active. As a graduate student I'm not required to do much in the way of accounting for how I use my time, as long as certain long-term milestones are met. This can make it difficult to stay on task during shorter stretches. Even breaking large tasks into small ones and documenting my progress on them can sometimes lead to a lot of small tasks being put off just as long as the large one would have been. So, just like for weight loss, I want to start keeping a record of my daily time use. Hopefully, once I have enough data to aggregate and look at the trends, I'll be able to pinpoint areas where I can improve and will be able to motivate myself to stay on task longer or return to my tasks more quickly after distractions. A guide for beginning grad students in the computer science department at my university suggests keeping a log file where you record your accomplishments at 15 minute intervals on days when you're having trouble being productive. I've tried this, using an external timer and marking an org file with a time stamp for each entry. I found the method to be both too frequent and too removed from my current task to be especially useful. My intention is to keep an org file (per day? per week? per month?) where I track my work using timestamp ranges and links. When I start on a task I'll make a time stamp and link to a resource relevant to the task (the file I'm editing, the article I'm reading, notes from the class I'm going to). When I finish a task or change tasks, I'll mark the end of the time range I spent on that task (and begin a new one if necessary). In some cases I'll record notes with the entry about what happened while I worked, to try to pin down things that are especially effective or especially distracting. I do think there's something to the notion of making regular progress reports while you work during stretches where it's hard to stay on task. In a case where I was following this strategy, I would still start an entry with a time range and a link to my current work, but I might include sub-entries marked with timestamps to allow me to keep finer-grained records of my progress. I intend to write a nag-me elisp function that prompts for a new entry after a certain amount of time has elapsed-- hopefully with programmable prompt intervals. I have a hunch that an exponential function describing the interval between prompts might be effective: record often early in the task to get myself honed in, but record less often as time passes and I become more involved with the work. I believe that tagging these progress entries with a series of categorical tags will allow me to aggregate across similar tasks and do some analysis of how much time I'm spending on different tasks. I'd like to be able to ask questions like How much time did I spend last week on project X?, How much time did I spend last week on all research projects?, and How much time did I spend last week working productively?. I'm hopeful that the org/tables/calc combination will serve me well in pursuing this. Hope that gives you some ideas about some potential uses of timestamps and time ranges. I'd welcome any comments about the ideas I've described here, whether people are using similar systems or have different approaches to the same kind of issue.
