Re: [O] Keeping metadata/notes about files and directories
See the custom commands for the agenda in the manual. You can create a command to do a search in specific files. The framework would be splitting your big org file into multiple files and creating a custom search that search only in those particular files. Of course you would need to change this custom command definition if you add more files, but with the idea of using one file per year from the other thread that means updating the custom command only once an year. I didn't test this so see how searching in all of these files scale when compared to searching in one big file, but I imagine it would be faster. -- Darlan Cavalcante Moreira Christoph Groth writes: Dear all, I just wrote under the subject “Re: Managing articles in org mode and collaboration”. This posting puts the other one in a broader context. While thinking about organizing articles, I asked myself: Wouldn’t it be useful to keep metadata/notes about *various* kinds of files/sub-directories/projects inside org-mode (or something similar)? One example is a collection of programming projects. Just like for articles, it would be useful to add notes and metadata to each project. The same is true for many other archive-like collections of things that grow over time. The same problems appear as described in the other posting (namely scaling and searching). I know that there have been discussions about this in the past, and I know that there’s org-annotate-file. Is there anyone who uses a scheme like this (for 1000 items, say) in practice? Christoph
Re: [O] org-crypt doesn't automatically encrypt on save
One note first, if you change org-modules manually like that you must make sure this change is done before org-mode is loaded. I prefer to use the customize interface just for org-modules for that reason. I also add org-crypt to org-modules like you do. If I open my password.org file and open it directly I will have the same behaviour you get. Maybe the save magic does not work reliable when org-crypt is loaded through org-modules, I'm not sure. When I call my function that requires org-crypt and calls org-crypt-use-before-save-magic before opening my password file everything works. But I only do it like this because I have a single file with encrypted entries and I prefer to delay loading org-crypt initialization. I profiled my configuration some time ago and decided to do that to reduce i little bit the initialization time. Since you already require org-crypt, just add (org-crypt-use-before-save-magic) after the require and see if that solves your problem. Rémi Letot writes: Darlan Cavalcante Moreira darc...@gmail.com writes: You need to load org-crypt and call org-crypt-use-before-save-magic before you open the org file. I have this in my config: (add-to-list 'org-modules 'org-crypt) (require 'org-crypt) So I think that's what is done. I also checked org-mode-hook on a fresh start of emacs, and it does include a stanza for org-encrypt-entries. C-h v org-mode-hook begins with this: - Value: (#[nil \300\301\302\303\304$\207 [org-add-hook before-save-hook org-encrypt-entries nil t] 5] - So I think that part is ok. Now I visit a new file, say test.org, which doesn't exist yet. I create one heading with a bit of content, tag it as :crypt:, and save the file. Bam, it's not encrypted. Now I call M-x org-encrypt-entries, and the heading is encrypted. So org-crypt does work, I can decrypt and encrypt headings manually, but it won't do it automatically. And indeed, before-save-hook is nil in a fresh org file and stays so when I visit an org file. Now I call M-x org-mode on that file, add a space so it is modified and I can save it, call C-x C-s, and it is encrypted as it should. org-mode set before-save-hook to (org-encrypt-entries t) as it should. Only I have to manually call org-mode once the file is open, it won't do it automatically. I C-x k the file, re-visit it, and I have to call M-x org-mode on it again before it will automatically encrypt the headings. All other org-mode functionnality seems to work fine. Any idea ? Thanks,
Re: [O] org-crypt doesn't automatically encrypt on save
You need to load org-crypt and call org-crypt-use-before-save-magic before you open the org file. For instance, my configuration for org-crypt is --8---cut here---start-8--- (autoload 'org-decrypt-entry org-crypt.el Decrypt the content of the current headline. t) (autoload 'org-decrypt-entries org-crypt.el Decrypt all entries in the current buffer. t) (autoload 'org-encrypt-entry org-crypt.el Encrypt the content of the current headline. t) (autoload 'org-encrypt-entries org-crypt.el Encrypt all top-level entries in the current buffer. t) (with-eval-after-load org-crypt ;; Automatically encrypts everything that has the tag crypt ;; when you save the file (org-crypt-use-before-save-magic) (setq org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance (quote (crypt Project))) (setq org-crypt-key 8NUMBERS) (setq org-crypt-disable-auto-save t) ) --8---cut here---end---8--- Only this gives the same problem you have. When I decrypt an entry org-crypt is finally loaded but since I'm already visiting the file then the save magic will not kick in. In my case I only have one file where I use org-crypt and I define the function below --8---cut here---start-8--- (defun my-find-senhas-org-heading nil (interactive) (require 'org-crypt) (find-file ~/org/passwords.org) ) --8---cut here---end---8--- If I often used org-crypt in any org file I would always require org-crypt and call org-crypt-use-before-save-magic in my Emacs configuration, but since I only use for this particular file, then defining a function to visit this file works better for me. hob...@poukram.net writes: Hello org-mode World, is anyone successfully using org-crypt with org-crypt-use-before-save-magic ?

[O] Latex Preview Equations(with C-u C-u)
Recently the latex preview equation in org-mode was improved. Particularly 'C-c C-c' no longer removes the latex equations overlays, and now we have a single function, org-toggle-latex-fragment, to create/remove the image and overlays. I think these changes were very good. One small inconvenient, however, is that I usually pass two prefix arguments, 'C-u C-u', to org-toggle-latex-fragment to render everything in the buffer. If I add a new equation and then call org-toggle-latex-fragment again with 'C-u C-u' org-mode will simply remove the overlays. This was not a problem when there was a single function that only created overlays and another to remove them. I think having a 'toggle function' is better, but if the user passes two prefix arguments he wants to render everything in the buffer, even if there are already equations overlays in the buffer. Could org-mode be changed to behave like that? -- Darlan Cavalcante Moreira
Re: [O] Export formats: Is there an in-house Emacs final format?
As I understand, C-c C-x C-v (org-toggle-inline-images) will only show images inline, not latex fragments (equations). For latex you want C-c C-x C-v (org-preview-latex-fragment). I have a folder with org files as my personal knowledge archive and I use both org-toggle-inline-images and org-preview-latex-fragment. Org-mode is indeed very nice for this conversation with myself use case. Obviously you still get better (prettier) results if you export the org file, but I rarely need to do that. -- Darlan mank...@gmail.com writes: Hi Lawrence, emacs (in a window, not in the terminal) allows display of images.

Re: [O] Several questions about beamer export
I don't think you can change the behavior of a link type to take into
account somethink similar to graphicspath, but you can easily define
custom link types: For instance, put this in your org-file
--8---cut here---start-8---
#+LINK: fig file:my_figure_path/%s
--8---cut here---end---8---
Then you will be able to You write a link such as
--8---cut here---start-8---
[[fig:some_figure.png]]
--8---cut here---end---8---
ps: Remember to do C-c C-c in the #+LINK line after you insert it.

Re: [O] Automatically adding local variables to tangled file
It's a good idea to have useful information in the tangled file that can help these functions. But since org-mode can already tangle with comments containing useful information, isn't this enough to detect that the file is a tangled file? On the other hand, a local variable in the tangled files to set the buffer to read-only could be very useful to avoid the mistake of editing the tangled files directly. -- Darlan At Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:04:59 +0200, Rainer M Krug wrote: Hi I am trying to improve my workflow of literate programming of R in org.

If an error occurs, I can jump via ESS to the .R file, and in a second step via calling org-babel-tangle-jump-to-org into the org file where the buggy line sits. Now this is error prone, as one (or is it only me?) is easily tempted to edit the R file which is reverted after the next tangle. So I was thinking: what about calling org-babel-tangle-jump-to-org directly from ESS. Vitalie Spinu looked into this option, and came up with the following suggestion: If the tangled .R file contains a local variable, one could easily identify that it is a tangled file and call org-babel-tangle-jump-to-org and would be at the line causing the error. Therefore my question: Would it be possible and reasonable, to add a local variable to each tangled file which identifies the file as an file tangled from an org mode file? He added the following to his config file to test the approach: , | (defvar org-babel-tangled-file nil | If non-nill, current file was tangled with org-babel-tangle) |(put 'org-babel-tangled-file 'safe-local-variable 'booleanp) | |(defun org-babel-mark-file-as-tangled () | (add-file-local-variable 'org-babel-tangled-file t) | (basic-save-buffer)) | |(add-hook 'org-babel-post-tangle-hook 'org-babel-mark-file-as-tangled) ` and he also already added automatic redirection to the org mode file via org-babel-tangle-jump-to-org to ESS on SVN. To keep backwards compatibility, a variable org-babel-tangle-add-tangled-file-variable could be introduced, which can have the following values: - nil :: (default) do not add anything - t :: org-babel-tangled-file is added as t to the tangled files - name :: org-babel-tangled-file is set to the org file name - path :: org-babel-tangled-file is set to the path of the org file - all :: org-babel-tangled-file is set to the full name including path of the org file I can even imagine many more possibilities for the use of local file variables to store meta data in the tangled file (VCS info comes to mind, which would enable one to even go back to older revisions based on the tangled code rather easily).

Re: [O] [babel] sbe not working properly

#+begin_src sh
echo `date --d @$epoch -u +[%F %a %T]`
#+end_src
but I got the same result. Actually, I realize a small detail.
In your example, when you evaluated the table formula you got as result the
1970 date. However, this does not mean that your python code was
executed. You got that answer because you have evaluated the python code
previously with the default argument (equal to 1) and thus you had
#+RESULTS: epoch2day
: [1970-01-01 Thu 00:00:01]
in your file. If you erase the #+RESULTS and reevaluate the table you will
get an ERROR. That indicates that sbe is not calling the babel block as I
(and probably you too) was expecting.
However, looking at sbe's documentation I can't see anything wrong with the
formula you wrote. I'm still confused on how to correctly use sbe.

So if I were to pull up my agenda for this week, I should see the task posted every day of this week, but if I then hit the f key to go forward a week, I should *not* see that task in this (the following) week. This is a not deal-breaker if not possible. I can just get rid if the task at the end of the week (but it's state, of course, that I have to keep in my mind, instead of committing it to the magic of org-mode). Thanks a lot of any help! (My apologies if it's in the manual and I missed it.) Best, --Rick [2 text/html; ISO-8859-1 (quoted-printable)]

Re: [O] [babel] Commenting out src blocks for tangling
I also converted my Emacs configuration to an org-mode file a long time ago and I hit the same spot you did. As you, I initially assumed (wished) that the COMMENT marker would disable tangling of blocks in that subtree. After that I found out the tangle property, which solves the problem but has no visual indication as you mentioned. Nowadays I use both approaches. Whenever I set the tangle property to no I also set the COMMENT mark and vice-verse. It is just a very minor annoyance to do both things and I'm used to it now. -- Darlan At Wed, 27 Feb 2013 19:32:41 +, Eric S Fraga wrote: Alan L Tyree alanty...@gmail.com writes: [...] G'day Eric, If I understand your problem correctly, doesn't the property :tangle: do what you want?

All this above is pretty much exactly what you're looking for. Check out
the Backquote section of the elisp manual for a pretty good
introduction. If you quote using a backtick (`) rather than an
apostrophe ('), you can use the comma (,) later on to evaluate variable
values, see the example at top. I don't believe you need the @ here, but
the manual section I mentioned explains it.
I used to do this in my agenda commands, but it wasn't really practical
because of the only evaluate once problem. If you restart emacs every
day, that won't really be an issue for you.

Hi Bastien,
First I created an org-mode file with the following content to act as the
target.
--8---cut here---start-8---
* Test table
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: MyTestID
:END:
| | Nome | Valor |
|---++---|

|---++---|
| # | Total | 35.45 |
#+TBLFM: @4$3=vsum(@2..@-1);%.2f
--8---cut here---end---8---
The capture template is something as simple as
--8---cut here---start-8---
(setq org-capture-templates
'(
(f Add a new product and value)
(ff Table table-line
(id MyTestID)
|| %^{Product} | %^{Value} |
:table-line-pos II-1
:immediate-finish t)))
--8---cut here---end---8---
This works as expected, but for my use case each month the target should be
a different table (which I create with a different ID). Obviously manually
changing the capture template each month is error prone and easy to
forget. Therefore, tried to change the ID to a function providing the new
target or a variable. For instance the code below.
--8---cut here---start-8---
(setq myIDVar MyTestID)
(setq org-capture-templates
'(
(f Add a new product and value)
(ff Table table-line
(id myIDVar)
|| %^{Product} | %^{Value} |
:table-line-pos II-1
:immediate-finish t)))
--8---cut here---end---8---
When I try to capture with this second template Emacs complains that it
cannot find the target ID myIDVar. What I expected is that it would
search for the ID MyTestID that is the value of myIDVar and not for an ID
myIDVar
I have also tried the code below and it does not work either
--8---cut here---start-8---
(defun some-function-return-the-id ()
DOCSTRING
(interactive)
MyTestID)
(setq org-capture-templates
'(
(f Add a new product and value)
(ff Table table-line
(id (some-function-return-the-id))
|| %^{Product} | %^{Value} |
:table-line-pos II-1
:immediate-finish t)))
--8---cut here---end---8---
Did you tried this?
(setq org-capture-templates
`((f The template description table-line
(id ,some_variable)
this is the template content
:table-line-pos II-1
:immediate-finish t)))
then it does not work even if some_variable or (some_function) provides the
correct ID value. It seems that
(id something)
will always interpret something as a string (no matter if I put it inside
quotes or not).
Yes, it expects a string.
Is it possible to achieve what I want with the current org-capture
implementation?
See above. The problem being, of course, that the capture template
for f will use some_variable *statically* -- if the value of the
some_variable variable changed after you evaluated the s-expression
(setq org-capture-templates ...) then the new value will not be
known.
This is something I'll have to keep in mind. However, I don't expect this
to be a problem since I start Emacs everyday. It is enough for me if I can
set the ID to a variable (before setting org-capture-templates) and it uses

after org-capture-templates was set I'm fine by just reevaluating (setq

If not, consider this as a feature request.
What feature exactly? To allow a function here that would dynamically
set the id?
Exactly. Simple using the value of whatever list object I put there. Be it
a variable value or a function that provides the. I'm fine if the value
provided by a variable or a function is only read when
org-capture-templates is set.
The reason behind this is that each month I want a different target table
for this capture template and I already implemented a function that returns
the correct ID. If I can somehow make the ID target type use the return
value of this function then this capture template will use the correct
table each month. If not, I would be forced to manually change the capture
template in the beginning of each month
Re: [O] Using Org/babel for Emacs config files (was: OT: Learning ELISP)
I also have my Emacs configuration in org mode and it is really great. Before moving to an org-mode initialization file I had multiple elisp files and the main initialization file loaded the individual files. But having everything in one place with the outline and search powers of org-modemuch better. You can even put todos there if you want. There are many benefits of using tags in your initialization. You can, for instance, put a Keybinds tag in all headlines that change some keybindings. You can put a Flymake tag in all headlines configuring flymake for the different programming languages you use. If you need to locate the flymake configuration specific for python, for instance, all that is necessary is to do a tag search for the Flymake and Python tags. Note that Emacs does not evaluate your initialization org-mode file directly. It tangles all elisp blocks in that file to an elisp file and then load that elisp file as usual. The tangling can be slow if you have many blocks, but it only does that once after editing the org-mode file. Therefore, you don't get a performance hit by having your initialization in an org-mode file. You can also take advantage of this tangle process. For instance, I have a Themes headline where each child headline configures Emacs with a different theme. I set the TANGLE property of all of these headlines to no except one. Then Emacs will use that theme. You can easily enable/disable big parts of your configuration like this and I find it easier then commenting and uncommenting different parts of an elisp file. For visual feedback, I like to add the COMMENT keyword in the headlines where I have set the TANGLE property to no. -- Darlan At Wed, 23 Jan 2013 15:40:35 +0100, Karl Voit wrote: Hi! * Jonathan Arkell jonath...@criticalmass.com wrote: I am a huge advocate of using org files and literate programming in your config files. Great. I am not completely convinced to convert my config to org/babel but I am not oppose either. Not sure, if there are that many advantages, that it is worth my effort, that's all. A few reasons why: - Makes it easy to logically group sections of your init and configuration Well, this is also possible with pure elisp and comments. Folding is a different topic tough. - Agenda tags search on your initialization file? Yes please! Extremely useful for those cross-cutting bits.

I do use (when (system-is-linux) ... ) and similar all over my configuration. Although I am a huge fan of tagging, I don't see the use when editing my emacs config (yet). - Add TODOs to your init file. I am using ~/org/mainfile.org - * shorts - ** TODO do this :hostname: all the time. Also for my config tasks. No worries: I do see your point but I like to have all my sysadmin-tasks combined in mainfile.org/shorts. So maybe this is just me.

By a great coincidence I just discovered org-capture-templates-contexts yesterday but could not make it work yet (didn't have much time to investigate it).

Maybe today is my luck day and it is exactly this new not-in-buffer context you have just added? ps: this rule affecting all sub-templates will also be very userful. -- Darlan At Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:04:54 + (UTC), Paul Sexton wrote: org-capture-templates-contexts currently appears not to work. The structure that the function 'org-contextualize-validate-key' expects to find in the variable seems quite different from the structure described in the docstring.

I have also added some functionality: - new context specifiers in-buffer and not-in-buffer - in-mode and not-in-mode expect a symbol, not a regexp. - if a rule specifies a template that has 'sub-templates', those sub-templates will also be affected by the rule. For example if you have templates 't', 'ta', 'tb' and 'tc', you can specify a rule for 't' which will affect all of them.

If the template specified by KEY has sub-templates, they will also be affected by the rule (unless they have their own rules).

Re: [O] How to add content from a file to a table automatically
Thank you Eric and Jambunathan for your answers. If I process the whole table with babel to manually add the lines from the external file than I would have to take care of updating the formula for the Total value as well as making sure the new content was added before the Total line, right?. The later is simple, but updating the formula could be complicated. Meanwhile, I'm investigating using org-capture for this. For instance, if I use a template such as #+begin_src emacs-lisp (f test table-line (file+headline test.org Test table) (file path/food.org) :table-line-pos II-1 :immediate-finish t) #+end_src where the food.org file has a single line then I can capture with #+begin_src emacs-lisp (org-capture nil f)' #+end_src and org-capture will place the content from the food.org file in a table in the Test Table headline of the test.org file. The advantage of using org-capture instead of pure babel is that it will already put the content in the correct place and update the formulas. However, the formulas are updated correctly only if I capture a single line each time. I think a combination of babel with org-capture is my best option. Once that is working I will use your timer approach for automating this (while I investigate inotify suggested by Jambunathan). -- Darlan At Wed, 09 Jan 2013 22:10:37 -0700, Eric Schulte wrote: #+Title: Periodically Rerun a Code Block Here's the lisp code to define a function to continually re-run a code block.

Re: [O] monthly budget with year summary using tables
The templates I mentioned is not an org-mode feature. I use the excellent
yasnippets for that. In my case, I created a finanças file (finances in
Portuguese) in the ~/.emacs.d/snippets/org-mode/ folder (my main snippets
folder). Then, in my main org-mode file I put the cursor in the proper
place, type finanças and press TAB. The template is expanded and I can
start adding whatever I want. Because the template is in the org-mode
sub-folder of may snippets folder, it will only expand in org-mode buffers.
The only caveat is that since my template includes table formulas, which
have $, I have to escape these with a backslash because the $ symbols
has a special meaning in yasnippets templates. Also, in order to get the
current month and year (used to create unique names for the tables as well
as IDs for each category headline) I have the following elisp functions in
my Emacs configuration file
--8---cut here---start-8---
(defun get-current-year()
(interactive)
(format-time-string %Y (current-time))
)
(defun get-current-month()
(interactive)
(capitalize (format-time-string %B (current-time)))
)
--8---cut here---end---8---
I'll put the whole yasnippets template at the end of this e-mail but
org-mode provides us with such a high flexibility that each person has its
own taste on how thinks should be organized. Maybe you should first create
the org-mode structure for this the way you want and then turn it into a
template for easily replication. It will take a couple or trial and error
to get it right, but you will fell at home with it.

Re: [O] monthly budget with year summary using tables
A have a setup similar to the one you ask, using tables, but I don't need babel for that. Basically, I have a Finances headline in my main org file, whose children are years headlines. In the beginning of each month I create a new headline for that month in the current year using a template so that I have something similar to * Finances ... * 2013 * January * Food * Bills * Entertainment * Car and transportation * Misc * Total Each of the category has a table where I put the expenses for that category and each table computes its total value. For instance, the table in the Food category is something like #+TBLNAME: FoodJanuary2013 | | *Place*| *Date* | *Debit (R$)* | *Card (R$)* | |---++--+--+-| | | Some place | [2013-01-03 Qui] |10.00 |0.00 | |---++--+--+-| | # || *Total* |10.00 |0.00 | #+TBLFM: @3$4=vsum(@2..@-1);%.2f::@3$5=vsum(@2..@-1);%.2f where I add the expense either to the Debit column (when I pay with cash or my debit card) or to the Card column (when I pay with the credit card). Notice that the table has a unique name with the category, month and year (all of this is created automatically with a template). In the Total category I have a table that uses remote references to get the total value of each category. This table gives me a glimpse of my expenses so far (I can even plot it to see how much I spent in each category, for instance, this is a good use of babel). This table is similar to #+TBLNAME: ExpensesJanuary2013 | | *Category* | *Debit (R$)* | *Card (R$)* | |---++---+---| | # | Entertainment | | | | # | Bills | | | | # | Food | | | | # | Car and transportation | | | | # | Misc | | | |---++---+---| | # | *Total*| | | | # | Total + Credit | | | #+TBLFM: @2$3=remote(EntertainimentJaneiro2013,$LR4);%.2f::@2$4=remote(EntertainimentJaneiro2013,$LR5);%.2f::@3$3=remote(BillsJaneiro2013,$LR4);%.2f::@3$4=remote(BillsJaneiro2013,$LR5);%.2f::@4$3=remote(FoodJaneiro2013,$LR4);%.2f::@4$4=remote(FoodJaneiro2013,$LR5);%.2f::@5$3=remote(CarJaneiro2013,$LR4);%.2f::@5$4=remote(CarJaneiro2013,$LR5);%.2f::@6$3=remote(MiscJaneiro2013,$LR4);%.2f::@6$4=remote(MiscJaneiro2013,$LR5);%.2f::@7$3=vsum(@2..@-1);%.2f::@7$4=vsum(@2..@-1);%.2f::@8$3=@-1$3+@-1$4;%.2f In the end, org can do what you want the way you want. -- Darlan At Wed, 2 Jan 2013 14:21:12 -0500, Carl Bolduc wrote: I would like to move my budget from MS Excel to Org-Mode.

At Sat, 10 Nov 2012 07:58:40 -0800, David Rogers wrote: But for this specific need (organizing the Emacs configuration with org-mode), there is really no need for changing the headline definition. You instead change your Emacs configuration to 'real' org-mode files with the actual configuration inside Emacs-lisp src blocks. This is much more powerful. As Memnon Anon mentioned, you only need a minimal configuration in your init.el file and the rest can go all in one or more org files that you load with org-babel-load-file. I have converted my configuration to an org-mode file a good time ago and I can tell you it is VERY worth the time invested. You can benefit from all org-mode features. What org-babel-load-file does is tangling all of the Emacs-lisp src blocks (only emacs-lisp blocks) to an Emacs lisp file and then load that file. The org-babel-load-file function is smart enough to only tangle the org file if something has changed. Therefore the delay caused by the tangle process only happens when you change something. A bonus side effect of this tangling process is that you can disable a whole part of your Emacs configuration easily simple by setting the 'TANGLE' property of a headline containing the source blocks you want to disable to 'no'. -- Darlan On Sat, 10 Nov 2012 10:38:41 + (UTC) Memnon Anon gegendosenflei...@googlemail.com wrote: Avner Moshkovitz avnermoshkov...@lighthausvci.com writes: I looked for an equivalent to this in org-mode but couldn't find a way to customize the heading definition.

Re: [O] Ido org-refile results in misfiling
One thing that may help is using C-space to lock previous matches with ido completion. For instance, you start ido completion (does not matter in which context: buffers, files, functions, etc) and start typing This will give you a bunch of matches. Then use C-space to lock these matches and it is like starting ido completion again but limited to whatever matched the previous typing. Using this method when you have many matches is usually much easier then trying to find what you want in a single pass. -- Darlan At Thu, 31 May 2012 19:51:36 -0700, Samuel Wales samolog...@gmail.com wrote: Ido and org-refile are a superb combination that enhances Org significantly. It is a killer feature IMO. However, in my usage there is a substantial risk of misfiling: 1) If I start from a fresh Emacs, myorg is sufficient to select computer/emacs/org/myorg/. This is good. 2) If I refile something to computer/emacs/org/myorg/strategy and examples/various todo kw and maybe some tags/, various is enough to select it. Note that this is below myorg. Also good. 3) (Just as an aside, if I then refile something else to the same entry, I don't even need to enter various. It is the default. A nice feature.) 4) Now suppose I want to refile something to myorg. I enter myorg but I get various. Detail on this subtle issue is below: === My expectation is that if myorg selects myorg once, it should always do so no matter what my refile history is. This expectation is violated. It violates a sort of referential transparency. The same narrowing inputs should produce the same narrowed outputs (in my expectation at least). I suspect that the reason for the unexpected behavior is related (in some way) to the defaulting in 3, which is useful. However, the false defaulting in 4 is NOT useful in any obvious way. === Proposed solution: I think that as soon as the user starts selecting something, the default should be discarded. === With my expectation, it is never necessary to check the offered olpaths except as a confirmation. With the current behavior, checking is always necessary because in edge cases, there will be a guaranteed misfile. Here is why: the only reason that default showed up at all is that the narrowing input /happened/ to match both headlines. Otherwise the default would have been discarded. So it is an edge case that allowed the offer to misfile. In other cases, the correct default would be provided. If I wanted various, RET would be sufficient. User checking is significantly more error-prone because one olpath is a substring of the other. Likewise, the requirement to navigate in the list is burdensome as 4 is never useful as far as I can tell. === Is there any way to fix this? I tried looking at ido customizations and got lost.

Re: [O] [odt] Export of LaTeX Fragments
Since org already accepts \SomeCommandName, maybe org-mode could provide
some very basic functionality for the user to provide definitions for these
macros for each (desired) output format. For instance, there could be a
list similar to
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(
(somecommand :html 'somecommand-html-export :latex ;
somecommand-latex-export :buffer 'somecommand-buffer-change)
(someothercomand :html someothercomand-html-export)
)
#+end_src
The export function definitions should be provided by the user for each
desired export format and any unspecified format should do what org-mode
does right now. The buffer format would be a function for changing the
way the command (and its argument) look in the org-buffer.
I'm no lisp programmer and this is probably no the best way to implement
this feature, but I think this flexibility could allow orgers to tweak
org-mode to their needs easily.

The same feature exists for refiled notes. I use this a lot and I find it more useful then specifying this behaviour in the capture template. -- Darlan At Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:32:56 +0100, Martin Pohlack m...@os.inf.tu-dresden.de wrote: Hi, org-remember templates could contain a % to jump to target location immediately after storing note.

Re: [O] Including an active timestamp in encrypted (crypt) org entries
Org encrypts everything inside a heading with the chosen tag. It does not try to be smart and decide what should and what should not be encrypted inside that heading. Putting the time-stamp in the headline as suggested by others should work, since org uses that information and the heading itself is not encrypted. Another solution is to put the information that must be encrypted inside a subheading and encrypt only the subheading. This way you can have all the usual org data (schedule, deadline timestamps, lognotes, etc) in the main heading and profit from the org power while all your sensitive data is still encrypted. -- Darlan

Re: [O] About commit named Allow multi-line properties to be specified in property blocks
Unless I have missed something in the e-mails, the new syntax is to concatenate new variables to the var property. Not modifying the values currently stored in some variable. That is, #+property: var foo=2 #+property: var+ 5 (not specifying the variable name ) should not be allowed and #+property: var foo=2 #+property: var+ foo=5 #+property: var+ bar=bar should result in foo=5 and bar=bar.

Re: [O] About commit named Allow multi-line properties to be specified in property blocks
I liked this suggestion. In a sense, it is similar to the inherit keyword I had suggested before, but now the keyword (the plus sign) is part of the variable name. But the reason I really liked it is because it is clear to understand. One can compare it to the += operator some languages have. That is, we can understand `:var: bar=2` as var=bar=2 and `:var+: bar=2` as var+=bar=2.` -- Darlan At Fri, 4 Nov 2011 09:02:43 +0100, Rainer M Krug r.m.k...@gmail.com wrote: On Thu, Nov 3, 2011 at 9:23 PM, Eric Schulte schulte.e...@gmail.com wrote: One more idea that has occurred to me, it should give all of the functionality which we desire (i.e., the ability for a property value to span multiple lines and to be accumulated at the subtree level), and it should require *no* new syntax.

Eric, would it be possible to use #+bind foo 1 instead of #+property var foo=1 No, this would not for subtree-level properties, i.e., in a property block under a subtree there would be no way to tell if a property is a #+var:. I think if this were an approach, a more elegant solution would be for users to customize the `org-babel-default-header-args' variable using Emacs' file-local-variable feature -- which is possible now and may end up being the best solution. 3) Wrapping/folding long #+xxx lines? This is an independant request -- see Robert McIntyre's recent question on the list. The problem is that fill-paragraph on long #+xxx lines breaks the line into comment lines, which is wrong. Filling like this: #+TBLFM: @3$1=@1$1+@2$1::@3$2=@1$2+@2$2::...::... : @3$2=@1$2+@2$2::... : @3$2=@1$2+@2$2::... #+tblfm: ... #+tblfm: ... #+tblfm: ... Not very elegant, but perhaps more efficient/consistent. I like this solution, especially as I have often struggled with long and unreadable tblfm lines. The problem with using this for property lines would be in the case of #+property: foo bar #+property: baz qux whether the above should be parsed as '((foo . bar) (baz . qux)) or '((foo . bar baz qux)) But maybe generalizing the #+begin_xxx syntax for *all* #+xxx keywords. This would make the current org-internals-oriented/content-oriented difference between #+xxx and #+begin_xxx obsolete I suggest to avoid such a thing. Here are a few, more or less valid, reasons: - That distinction is useful for the user (clear separation between contents and Org control). - It would penalize usage of special blocks. - The need is localized to very few keywords: it isn't worth the added complexity. - It would be ugly: no more nice stacking of keywords, but a mix of blocks and keywords, and blocks on top of blocks... Org syntax may not be the prettiest ever, it doesn't deserve that. - It would be a real pain to parse. Well, I agree with most of the reasons. Glad you stated them clearly. Yes, I agree some of the above are very motivating. but this would spare us the cost of new syntax. On the contrary, creating a block for each keyword would mean a lot of new syntax. We currently have 8 types of blocks (not counting dynamic blocks, whose syntax is a bit different), all requiring to be parsed differently: 1. Center blocks, 2. Comment blocks, 3. Example blocks, 4. Export blocks, 5. Quote blocks, 6. Special blocks, 7. Src blocks, 8. Verse

Re: [O] [babel] create tikz pictures in an floating LaTeX environment
I have a (very) small personal wiki in org mode where I add stuff that I
read/learn that deserve this work. I usually don't need to export it, but
recently I was trying to export it to PDF and HTML and I had the same doubt
with a block o tikz code.
It would be nice if org had a begin_tikz block. This block could either
create a PDF file or include the tikz code directly in the latex file when
exporting to latex (or PDF), and create an SVG file when when exporting to
HTML. Of course this block should accept all the usual image options, such
as caption and width.
This is just a feature request from a tikz lover.

I try for the first time to write an entire article in org-mode.
I do so, because with the tags :export: :noexport: I can easily keep

what I want to publish.
Furthermore, I'm interested to do my data evaluation in python blocks
within the org-file itself, keeping all nicely together.
At the moment I try to add a tikz picture to the manuscript. I
followed the example at

However, I have some problems. I can generate the picture by using the
following code.
#+srcname: mypicture
#+begin_src latex :file fig/mypicture.pdf :packages '(( tikz))
:border 1em :fit
\begin{tikzpicture}[line width=1pt,text centered, inner sep = 2]
\draw[fill=red!50] (0,0) rectangle ++(5,1);
\draw[fill=yellow!50] (1,1) rectangle ++(1,0.25);

#+end_src
Now, I want to include this in a floating figure environment
This troubles me a bit.
I tried to make a second latex src block which includes the
environment and an \includegraphic pointing to the generated pdf file.
However, I always find a link of the filename in addtion. I guess this
is the result of the first (above) source code block. The pdf contains
a line similar like
[[file:fig/mypicture.pdf ]]
``:results output silent'' should suppress that I think.
Nick's solution should work well. Also, (if you're exporting to LaTeX)
couldn't you just combine the tikz picture and the wrapping figure
environment into a single begin_latex block?
Best -- Eric
Nick
I switched over to use the org-mode way of including a figure and
replaced the latex second src code block by
#+CAPTION:my great picture
#+LABEL: fig:my_picture
#+ATTR_LaTeX:
[[file:fig/mypicture.pdf]]
This worked out too and was identically to the fist approach, however,
there was still the result line in the output.
I tried to add exports: none and volia the line was gone. However,
the source code block was not exported at all and hence the picture
not updated at all (it simply used the old generated pdf)
I tried to be ueber-smart and replaced the static link
[[file:fig/mypicture.pdf]]
by
#+call: mypicture
in the hope it would be executed and result in
[[file:fig/mypicture.pdf]]
finally getting the same like with the static link. However, this did
not work out at all. No figure.
Could someone help me to sort this out. Ideally, I would like to do a
rather logical combination and end up with the following:
#+CAPTION:my great picture
#+LABEL: fig:my_picture
#+ATTR_LaTeX:
#+srcname: mypicture

If you are, for instance, inserting an org-mode table in a latex document (see [1]) you might want to clone the buffer, change one of them to org-mode and narrow to the table.

Re: [O] Per-file attachment directories
One way to do this is to use file variables to change the value of org-attach-directory. This works particularly well when you use just a few org files as in your case.

Re: [O] Per-file attachment directories
I tested here and it didn't work for the bad files as you said. However, putting the Local Variables at the end of the file worked. In fact, I have always written local variables like this at the end of the file, although I don't remember if this was because of a restriction of just because I'm used to. A good tip is to put them inside a * File Local Variables heading so that they don't stay inside another heading. You can set the noexport tag to avoid exporting this heading. Also, you can use the function add-file-local-variable to add a new local variable. Notice how this function put the local variables at the end of the file. -- Darlan Cavalcante Moreira At Wed, 21 Sep 2011 20:29:25 +0200, Viktor Rosenfeld listuse...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi, this works for simple files but breaks silently for my org files.

If the user wants to expand beyond ASCII it should be up to him. - Alternately, use a system like varvariable/var where the tag var is user definable, just like the magic characters above. The display of the tags should be toggable. Just like for [file:foo.bar] where the [] character are hidden, should the tags be hidden until someone erases one of the two delimiters.

In TeXinfo, it seems to me we have at least: - url, - code, - key binding, not speaking of internal references.

Re: [O] How to suppress \label commands in beamer export
Thanks Eric,
The ideal case if if I could disable label creation and labels would be
created only when I specifically write a target, for instance. But I
understand this is hard coded right now.
If I don't use overlays at all to change the blocks in the right side and
just put them into separates frames, then the figure in the left (when I
put one there) will slight change its vertical position. This is annoying
and it is the reason why overprint is used.
I'll try to use overlayarea instead. The overlayarea environment requires
two arguments, the width and the height of the area. Overprint is just a
more user friendly way to use overlayarea where the width is all space
available and the height is automatically determined as the height of the
largest thing inside the overlayarea.
Since overlayarea requires two arguments, like
--8---cut here---start-8---
\begin{overlayarea}{width}{height}
\only1 {lalala}
\only2 {lelele}
\end{overlayarea}
--8---cut here---end---8---
is there a suggested way to map oberlayarea into
org-beamer-environments-extra? The only way I can think is to require the
user to type {width}{height} in the headline (with the curly brackets)
and use somethink like \\begin{overprint}%h in the template definition.

In order to reproduce this, export the attached org file to a beamer
presentation. Notice how Block 1 and Block 2 (as well as Block 3 and
Block 4) have a lot of blank space between them. In fact, this makes Block
2 and Block 4 goes out of the frame.
Now, in the .tex file that org created, erase all the \label lines and
compile the file again. Notice how the blank space between the blocks
changes and now Block 2 and Block 4 fit nicely inside each frame.
Note: I use the overprint environment. The attached file has two lines that
must be executed in order to make overprint work. Maybe this environment
should be added to org-beamer-environments-default.

Re: [O] Experiences with literate elisp and ob-tangle?
I've been using the Emacs starter kit for some time and I must say it is excellent. Before making the change, I already had my Emacs initialization broken-down into smaller .el files that were loaded by the master file. It was as much organized as I could be, but not enough. It always required more work when I needed to make any changes than I would like. With the starter-kit I now use only a single org file for everything. The outline-structure of org-mode allows me to have my initialization broken down into smaller pieces in a more natural way without any extra work. Also, it is much easier to locate any part of my initialization that I want to change, since everything is in a single file and now I have tags. Another bonus feature is that I can easily disable/enable parts of my initialization simple by setting the tangle property of a sub-tree to nil, as well as putting COMMENT in the beginning of it (COMMENT will be red, but has no effect besides identify a disabled sub-tree). This is better than locating and commenting the undesired/desired lisp code in my previous .el files. This allowed me to identify bottlenecks and optimize my Emacs initialization. -- Darlan At Mon, 22 Aug 2011 11:09:17 -0600, Eric Schulte wrote: Hi John, John Wiegley jwieg...@gmail.com writes: Hi all, I'm considering switching my lengthy .emacs over to a literate Org file, using ob-tangle, and as I was wondering if others had any experience with this, and if so, does it slow down startup much?

[O] How to uniformly configure multiple org files
In each org file I usually put several configuration lines such as #+STARTUP, #+OPTIONS, #+LINK, etc. Is there a way to keep these configurations in a single file and then include this file in each org file I want? This would be particularly useful for projects. What I have in mind is something like a #+INCLUDE_CONF keyword similar to #+INCLUDE, but while #+INCLUDE includes the content of one org-file into another, the #+INCLUDE_CONF would include the configuration comments while ignoring the content (so that we could use headings to separate the configuration comments, for instance). -- Darlan

Re: [O] Attachments and refiling

To avoid this you can even set org-confirm-elisp-link-function to nil (I don't like this because it allows any elisp code in links) or you can set org-confirm-elisp-link-not-regexp appropriately.

Re: [O] Attachments and refiling
Regarding (2), is this a design decision? Currently I have the ATTACH_DIR property of some headings set to a relative path from the org file and it works perfectly. That is, it is possible to use either absolute or relative path for the ATTACH_DIR property right now. But if this is a design decision then I should not consider this behavior as granted, right? Also, Suvayu's suggestion for the default attachments directory is the best solution IMHO. That is, the default attach directory should be relative to org-directory. -- Darlan At Thu, 28 Jul 2011 09:51:54 +0200, Bastien b...@altern.org wrote: Hi Darlan, here is how I see the situation regarding attachments: 1. org-attach.el is nice because it makes it easy to attach a file to a task, while not *worrying* about where the file is on the harddrive. 2.

Refiling/archiving subtrees lose track of some attachments when the attach directory data/ is *relative* to the org file (which is the default) and when the target org file is not in the same directory. 4. Moving an entry with an ATTACH_DIR_INHERIT will lose attachments when the ATTACH_DIR of the target entry is different. (3) and (4) are two distinct problems. I suggest fixing problem (3) by making `org-attach-dir' defaulting to ~/.org-attachments/. I I suggest fixing problem (4) by explicitely replacing ATTACH_DIR_INHERIT with the corresponding ATTACH_DIR when the target subtree has a different ATTACH_DIR.

Re: [O] Attachments and refiling
As I see changing the attach directory to point to the original one is the easiest solution that has no chances of breaking anything and would keep attachments working in the refiled/archived sub-trees. Maybe a org-attach-move-files function could also be implemented to easily move an attachment directory to a different place. It should move the directory and automatically set the ATTACH_DIR property to the appropriated value. Of course org could try to find out if this attach directory is also used in a different file/sub-tree (maybe search in the agenda files and in the current directory for org-files using this attach directory) and change ATTACH_DIR in that file/sub-tree or warn the user before moving the files. This won't be bullet proof but if the users only set the same attach directory for headings in the same file, for instance (I do this), then it would work perfectly. Then, when the user wants the refiling/archiving process to also move the attached files it could pass an argument before refiling/archiving and org-attach-move-files would be called appropriately. -- Darlan At Mon, 25 Jul 2011 09:45:24 +0200, Bastien b...@altern.org wrote: Gustav Wikström gustav.e...@gmail.com writes: I'm leaning towards not moving my archive to a different folder.

Re: [O] Attachments and refiling
I use org-attach regularly and consider it to be a great feature of
org-mode. Since I only attach to the sub-tree (instead of to a different
file) I have not this problem. However, sometimes a set the attach
directory of two different headings to the same folder (when it makes
sense) and if org always moved the attached files it would break the other
sub-tree.
An alternative is to change the attach directory in the archived entry to
point to the original attach directory where the files are. When archiving
to a file in a different folder org could ask if it should also move the
attached files or simply change the attach directory accordingly (I would
prefer this as the default if ask as the default was considered too
annoying).

Re: [O] [babel] How to set multiple variables with properties
One of the things I tried (that didn't work, otherwise I would not have sent any e-mail) was :PROPERTY: :var: variable1=value1 :var variable2=value2 :END: I thought that maybe babel would just ask org what is the value of :var:, put :var before it, and include this in the block header. Therefore I would get the effect of adding :var variable1=value1 :var variable2=value2 in the block header and it could work. However, even if this method had worked It would not be flexible. One of the nice things about properties is inheritance. I would like to define general variables as properties in level-1 headings and define more specific variables in the sub-headings as necessary. However, if babel always use :var: as the property then defining a variable in a subheading will overwrite the upper level variable. The best option in my use-case-scenario would be some name scheme to identify variable definitions for org-babel. For instance --8---cut here---start-8--- :PROPERTY: :ob-someVariable: some string maybe with\nline breaks :ob-someOtherVariable: 123456 :END: --8---cut here---end---8--- would make the variables someVariable and someOtherVariable known to org-babel. -- Darlan Cavalcante At Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:27:00 +0200, Christian Moe m...@christianmoe.com wrote: Hi again, I was referring to these functions: - org-entry-put-multivalued-property - org-entry-get-multivalued-property - org-entry-add-to-multivalued-property - org-entry-remove-from-multivalued-property - org-entry-member-in-multivalued-property described here: http://orgmode.org/manual/Using-the-property-API.html I've found a few discussions: - http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/33457 - http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2010-02/msg00251.html I don't have anything working with them, as such,[1] and I was curious if anyone did.

Re: [O] equation numbering in html and latex export
Using the org-special-blocks library org-mode will recognize blocks in the
form
: #+begin_something
: bla bla bla
: #+end_something
Then you could write
: #+begin_equation
: y=ax+b
: #+end_equation
in org-mode. It would be translated to
: \begin{equation}
: y=ax+b
: \end{equation}
in latex and
: div class=equation
: y=ax+b
: /div
in html.
Can mathjax be configured to process anything inside div class=equation?
If not, maybe the #+begin_equation should be a built-in block in org-mode,
also with a fast template (maybe eq).

equations, images, references, and how to include labels and cross
reference between all these things.
The only problem I have is that I can't get numbered equations in both
LaTeX and HTML. Using the snippet below, I'm able to get a numbered
equation in HTML but not in LaTeX. I've put
loadFiles: [extensions/eqn-number.js],
in jsMath/easy/load.js. If I replace the $$ by
\begin{equation} and \end{equation}, I get a numbered equation in LaTeX
but not in HTML.
How can I get numbered equations in both HTML and LaTeX?
I can't help you wish HTML unfortunately but I can summarise the issue
in LaTeX.
With the standard document class (article say), equations can be either
displayed or inline. Only displayed equations are numbered and then
only if you use =equation= (or =align=, =eqnarray=, etc). $$ ... $$ is
equivalent to \[ ... \] which is essentially equivalent to the
unnumbered version of \begin{equation} (aka \begin{equation*}).
The trick would be to get the HTML exporter to apply the same processing
to \begin{equation} ... \end{equation} as it does to $$ ... $$, I guess?

Re: [O] #+begin_example broken when #+begin_src included inside?
This seems to be true for other blocks as well, besides the example block. For instance, my Emacs configuration is in an org-mode file (using the starter kit) and in one src block where I define my capture templates I had a template with a PROPERTY drawer that was folded, even thought it was a string in an Emacs-lisp src block. In fact, because of this drawer I could not set any property in any heading of the whole file with C-c C-x p. I just got an error, until I bisect my whole file to find the cause and remove the template (I moved its content to a file and pointed the capture template to the file). -- Darlan Cavalcante At Tue, 14 Jun 2011 03:26:44 + (UTC), Paul Sexton psex...@xnet.co.nz wrote: Nick Dokos nicholas.dokos at hp.com writes: I can certainly confirm that: I reported it a week ago - see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/42546 Nick Lots of org syntax remains inappropriately live inside EXAMPLE blocks.

Re: [O] how to change the headline starter *
I don't think this is possible. The * as a headline starter seems to be hard-coded in org. Also, - is used as a list starter (as well as other starters such as +). -- Darlan Cavalcante At Sat, 11 Jun 2011 20:58:39 +0200, harven har...@free.fr wrote: Hi, is it possible to change the headline starter, for example from * to - ? thanks, -- Harven
Re: [O] problem with utf8 todo keywords

Re: [O] Auto-Fill (aka Word Wrap) of Headline Text
Yes, the best way is to start the TODO description in the next line without the the stars (otherwise it would be another headline). I usually try to create short headlines, specially if that headline has a bunch of tags. For instance : * TODO Some TODO item : Some length description of that TODO item or some steps I need to do : to. Here I can use auto-fill without a problem, If the reason you wanted a long TODO item is to provide enough information in the agenda, then tags and the CATEGORY property are a better option IMHO. For simpler TODO items (that is, no schedule, deadlines, tags, etc) you may prefer a list with check-boxes such as : - [ ] This may also be used as a king of TODO item. Notice that : differently from headlines you can use auto-fill here without any : problem. : - [X] You can toggle the state as done and not done with C-c C-c in : the first line. I find lists with check-boxes specially useful when I have TODO items that can be broken down into a sequence of steps. In that case I create the TODO item and put the bullet list inside. Such as : * TODO Some task [/] : - [ ] Step 1 : - [ ] Step 2 : - [ ] Etc. If you put [/] in the TODO headline then whenever you mark one step as done with C-c C-c then org will update it to [1/3] and so on. Of course you can also use sub-headlines also with the TODO keyword for the steps if that is better for you. Then you can schedule each step separately, for instance. In that case it starts to look more like a project then a simple task, but just do the way that fits better for you. -- Darlan At Fri, 10 Jun 2011 00:12:12 -0400, Lex Fridman lexfrid...@gmail.com wrote: So, for a to-do list, if I want to write a lengthy description for a to-do item, do I need to start the description on the next line without the stars (*) at the beginning?

Re: [O] Define capture template with dynamic id target
Thanks David, I tried to follow your suggestion, but I found two problems (maybe because I know little about lisp). For instance, suppose I have a test.org file with the follow content --8---cut here---start-8--- * 2011 Every headline has an ID, but I have omitted here for brevity *** May * Sub-headline bla bla bla *** June * Sub-headline bla bla bla --8---cut here---end---8--- I want the capture process to add an entry to the Sub-headline of June. If I just use the file+headline and specify Sub-headline then it will add to the Sub-headline in May. That's why I tried using IDs in the first place. Also, every month I create a new month headline with the Sub-headline and the capture process should add an entry to that instead. That is the reason I wanted to get the ID from a function, instead of just writing it in the capture template. As far as I understand if I use the file+function target then the function must return the headline name, but how can I say that I want the Sub-headline of June and not of May? [first problem] I found an org-id-find function that returns something like (filename . characterPosition). Therefore, If there is a way to specify a position where org should start looking for the headline then I could use that to go to the correct Sub-headline. Also, the file+headline target will add the entry as a child of the specified headline, but file+function seems to add the entry as a sibling of the headline returned by the function.

[O] [Bug] [Patch] List number start with the latex exporter
When using a numbered list it is possible to specify the start number using
[@number] so that one can write
1. one
2. two
20. [@20] twenty
21. twenty one
This works OK with the HTML exporter, but in the latex exporter
the number will be one unity above the desired value.
The reason why this happens is because the \item command in the enumerate
environment in latex increments the counter before using it. Therefore,
org-mode should set the enumeration counter to the desired value minus one.
A patch is attached for the lisp/org-list.el file.

[O] Feature request: two-letter combination for org-capture
Hello list, A nice feature of the org-agenda is the possibility to define two letter combinations for the custom commands. From the manual I could not see how to do this with org-capture and I'm guessing it is not possible right now. Of course one can always define a single letter template for each situation, but the same goes for the org-agenda and two-letter templates can help a lot with the organization (also finding good letter choices). Some use-case scenarios I can imagine: - Add todo items to specific projects (I know you can refile the note during the capture process, but this would be faster). All of the letters t and a project specific letter - Add a contact to a specific category: people using org-contacts could define different templates for work contacts and personal contacts, for instance. - Add a line to a specific table: Suppose you use tables in org to organize your expenses, but you have multiple tables, one for each kind of expense. You would be able to add one expense to a specific table (I'm not sure if refile from the capture buffer even works in this case). - Etc. -- Darlan Cavalcante
