org-src-lang-modes I knew I'd seen it somewhere! Thanks for the tip, Dan.

Re: [Orgmode] [BABEL] Editing dot blocks with org-exp-blocks
The begin_dot is part of org-exp-blocks, as I understand it, and appears required to make it evaluate the Dot code, create the image file, and then incorporate that into the exported document (LaTeX, HTML, etc.) Thanks, Chris On Wed, Feb 9, 2011 at 3:56 AM, Eric S Fraga wrote: > Chris Maier writes: > >> In "normal" Org code blocks (e.g. #+begin_src clojure #+end_src) >> it's possible to hit C-c ' and edit the block code in a separate >> buffer with the appropriate mode.

[Orgmode] Re: [BABEL] Editing dot blocks with org-exp-blocks
I fixed my problem... had to dig around in the source of ob-dot.el, though, since it doesn't appear to be on the website [1]. There are some additional undocumented header parameters that ob-dot adds to the standard Babel params. With org-exp-blocks you do this: #+begin_dot foo.png -Tpng ... dot code ... #+end_dot With plain old Babel, you do this: #+begin_src dot :file foo.png :cmdline -Tpng ... dot code ... #+end_src Knowing this now, I'd argue for deprecating org-exp-blocks, too. Now my question changes slightly. With the src block configured as above, I can export and execute the code fine, but when I type C-c ' to edit the Dot code in a separate buffer, it goes into fundamental mode, even though I have graphviz-dot-mode [2] installed and working fine. I suspect it might be because it's called "graphviz-dot-mode" instead of just "dot-mode" (that's just speculation on my part, though). Is there a way to explicitly associate an major mode with a particular kind of language block?

[Orgmode] [BABEL] Editing dot blocks with org-exp-blocks
In "normal" Org code blocks (e.g. #+begin_src clojure #+end_src) it's possible to hit C-c ' and edit the block code in a separate buffer with the appropriate mode. This doesn't appear to work when using org-exp-blocks to edit a "begin_dot" block. Is there a command to do this?

Could it be done such that it could be applied (or not applied, according to taste) to a sub-tree of your Org file? That way you could have it disabled on whatever code you might be currently working on so you still see the error messages if you mistype. Then, when you're satisfied with all your tangle paths, you could flip the switch on that sub-tree and have Org do everything for you.

[Orgmode] Last workday of the month
I'm trying to come up with a sexp diary entry that shows my payday, which is the last weekday of the month, in my Org agenda. I've tried to adapt the example given in the Emacs manual and this is what I came up with: %%(let ((month (car date)) (day (cadr date)) (dayname (calendar-day-of-week date))) (or ;; months with 31 days (and (memq month '(1 3 5 7 8 10 12)) (or (and (= day 31) (memq dayname '(1 2 3 4 5))) (and (memq day '(29 30)) (= dayname 5 ;; months with 30 days (and (memq month '(4 6 9 11)) (or (and (= day 30) (memq dayname '(1 2 3 4 5))) (and (memq day '(28 29)) (= dayname 5 ;; February (the weird one) (and (= month 2) (or (and (memq day '(28 29)) (memq dayname '(1 2 3 4 5))) (and (memq day '(26 27 28)) (= dayname 5)) Chris' Paycheck Deposited It appears to work so far. However, I'm certain there's got to be a more concise way of coding this, but I can't seem to find any pre-existing calendar functions that might help. Am I missing something? To make this even better, is there some way to consult another file of diary entries containing all the holidays at my workplace, so the diary entry would show up on the last weekday of the month that is not a company holiday?
