[O] How to use texi2dvi for export to LaTeX?
Hi, I found http://orgmode.org/worg/org-dependencies.html and proceeded as described there to set up texi2dvi for LaTeX export. I don't have the egrep bug mentioned, so all I had to do was: 1) put this in ~/.emacs: (setq org-latex-to-pdf-process texi2dvi -p %f); use texi2dvi; see http://orgmode.org/worg/org-dependencies.html 2) put this in ~/.profile: PDFLATEX=pdflatex --shell-escape export PDFLATEX texi2dvi is installed on my system (Ubuntu 12.04; Emacs 24; MacBook Air 4,1) and works. However, if I export an org-mode file via 'C-c C-e p' to LaTeX, I obtain an error. *Messages* shows: , | call-interactively: Wrong type argument: listp, texi2dvi -p %f ` Why? Something I'm wondering: Doesn't %f stand for the base file name with ending .ps? Shouldn't it be texi2dvi -p %t? Trying this led to the same error, though. Cheers, Marius

Thanks for helping, Achim and Nick, exactly what I was looking for. Cheers, Marius
Re: [O] How to escape spaces after full stops?
Dear Nicolas, many thanks for pointing this out.
\nbsp{} leads to ~, which is correct in this case. Is there also a way to get
\? [there is a slight but sometimes important difference].
Cheers,
Marius

You can use Org entities, i.e.:

Do you mean \ ?
yes.
Not out of the box, but you can add your own entities in
`org-entities-user'.
For example, you can have:
(add-to-list 'org-entities-user '(spc \\ nil))
And then use
p.\spc{}17
I have put the above line in ~/.emacs and restarted emacs. It writes now as
p.17,
so without space at all. Do you know why?

[O] How to get Wrap at Window Edge in org-mode?
Hi, I am working with Xubuntu 12.04 on a MacBook Air (4,1) with org-mode version 7.8.09. I use the following code to get Wrap at Window Edge in org-agenda-mode: , | (add-hook 'org-agenda-mode-hook | '(lambda() |(if truncate-lines (toggle-truncate-lines -1)) |)) ` How can I get Wrap at Window Edge in all .org files? The only idea I found is https://plus.google.com/u/0/113859563190964307534/posts/RVBN7KvQtB7 but that unfortunately did not work. Cheers, Marius
Re: [O] How to get Wrap at Window Edge in org-mode?
Dear Russell, I thought so, too, but it does not properly wrap standard .org files (including sections etc.). Instead of Wrap at Window Edge, I still obtain Truncate Long Lines mode in .org files. Cheers, Marius
Re: [O] How to get Wrap at Window Edge in org-mode?
Dear Russell, thanks for helping. Yes. I even removed ~/.emacs.desktop and restarted. Still, a standard .org file is shown in Truncate Long Lines mode instead of (the overall emacs default) Wrap at Window Edge.

Re: [O] Frequent crashes of Emacs 24 on Mac OS X 10.7.3 due to org-mode
Dear Martyn, thanks for helping. 3) 7.7: As far as I remember, I've been there. 2) 24.0.94.1: I've definitely been there -- didn't sort it out. I even wanted to build Emacs on my own to see if that has an influence. But I obtained some errors due to missing tools (starting with libgif/libungif but after I installed that many other things appeared) and others also reported that it is not too easy under Lion (http://readystate4.com/2011/04/19/installing-latest-command-line-emacs-on-mac-os-x/). 1) .emacs: I've never seen .emacs in org-babel, sounds interesting. What I typically do is some kind of bisection procedure to find the the bug (comment out half of the code, test, find the buggy half...). The part of my .emacs that concerns org-mode is (of course the problem could be elsewhere but my suspicion would be it's in here): ,[ org-mode part of .emacs: ] | ;; basics | (require 'org-install); use org-mode | (setq org-startup-indented 1); use indentation in org mode | (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '(\\.org\\' . org-mode)); open all .org files in org-mode | (setq org-agenda-files | (list ~/org/agenda.org)); set up org agenda file | (setq org-default-notes-file ~/org/agenda.org); set up org notes file (stores captured events -- also use agenda.org) | (setq org-agenda-start-on-weekday nil); start agenda view on current day | (setq org-agenda-span 14); agenda view: show 14 days by default | (setq calendar-week-start-day 1); start week on Monday | | ;; suggested global org keys | (global-set-key (kbd C-c l) 'org-store-link) | (global-set-key (kbd C-c c) 'org-capture); for capturing new TODO | (global-set-key (kbd C-c a) 'org-agenda); for viewing your agenda | | ;; define capture templates (for C-c c) | ;; see 9.1.3.1 in the org-mode manual | ;; order: | ;; 1) key: trigger of the capture task | ;; 2) description: description to be shown during selection | ;; 3) type: - entry: org-mode node with headline; put in as a child of the target | ;; - ..., see org-manual | ;; 4) target: where the captured item should be placed | ;;- file+headline path-to-file [empty defaults to org-default-notes-file] node name where to put in | ;; 5) template: string which specifies the look of the template | ;; %? # place the point here after template insertion | ;; \n # newline | ;; %^T # prompt for date and time | ;; %U # inactive time stamp with date and time | ;; %(org-contacts-template-name) # tries to determine the name from Gnus | ;; %^g # prompt for tag | ;; %(org-contacts-template-email) # tries to determine the email address from Gnus | (setq org-capture-templates | '((t TODO in ~/org/agenda.org - Tasks entry (file+headline ~/org/agenda.org Tasks) | * TODO %?\nSCHEDULED: %^T\n%U) | (c Contact in ~/org/contacts.org - Contact entry (file+headline ~/org/contacts.org Contact) | * %?%(org-contacts-template-name)%(org-contacts-template-email) %^g | :PROPERTIES: | :WORK: | :HOME: | :MOBILE: | :LOCATION: | :NOTE: | :URL: | :END:))) | | ;; set up org-contacts | (require 'diary-lib); for making org-contacts anniversaries work | (setq load-path (cons ~/.emacs.d/contacts load-path)) | (require 'org-contacts) | (setq org-contacts-files (quote (~/org/contacts.org))); set up org-contacts file | | ;; make org-mode play nicely together with yasnippets | ;; http://eschulte.me/emacs-starter-kit/starter-kit-org.html | (defun yas/org-very-safe-expand () | (let ((yas/fallback-behavior 'return-nil)) (yas/expand))) | (add-hook 'org-mode-hook | (lambda () | ;; yasnippet (using the new org-cycle hooks) | (make-variable-buffer-local 'yas/trigger-key) | (setq yas/trigger-key [tab]) | (add-to-list 'org-tab-first-hook 'yas/org-very-safe-expand) | (define-key yas/keymap [tab] 'yas/next-field) | )) ` Just a remark: The problem has nothing to do with Sweave (I just use Sweave for some weeks now and the crashes I had long before). Last week a colleague wanted to use my laptop and as soon as he hit the first button, Emacs crashed (-- very annoying -- this was when I decided to try to track the problem down). That's why I have trouble figuring out what it is (and I was quite happy to see org-mode popping up through Console.app as a reason -- at least that gives a chance to track it down). I'll further explore and get back to you (and the guys from Emacs bug tracker who also are interested in this). Cheers, Marius PS: I used the same .emacs on Ubuntu 11.10, only one line was changed (the default font being changed from Menlo -- which is Mac-specific). I never experienced a crash (although I just tried it for some hours, so I can't tell for sure).

[O] How to define repeating events that do not show up after there dates are passed?
Hi, Recently, Jan explained to me the difference about a date and a SCHEDULED: date; see http://osdir.com/ml/emacs-orgmode-gnu/2011-11/msg00200.html I'm wondering about what is the best way to put in repeating events in org-mode. For example, image you visit your friends every Thursday at 16:00. Now putting the event in as TODO Visit friends SCHEDULED: 2011-11-10 Thu +1w Now if I fire up C-c a L, I see that visit/meeting for this Thursday and also for the following Thursday. However, it also appears when doing C-c a a on Friday, namely as an event that happened in the past (on Thu) and which is still scheduled. So for this repeating event, I don't want it to appear on Friday as something I forgot on Thursday. Well, then one shouldn't (?) use SCHEDULED. Okay, so just put it in like this: TODO Visit friends 2011-11-10 Thu +1w Now on Friday it does not appear anymore. However, if I fire up C-c a L it also disappeared showing [... 12 empty days omitted] although on the Thursdays within the 12 days, there's clearly the meeting with the friends So getting 12 empty days is not right, since I actually have a meeting on Thursdays... How can I put in repeating events so that they show up on C-c a L but they shouldn't show up after the corresponding date passed? Cheers, Marius
Re: [O] How to define repeating events that do not show up after there dates are passed?
The timeline functionality is, if not obsolete, a second-class citizen in org. see Carsten's history lesson at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/39368/focus=40038 Very interesting link, thanks Nick. Cheers, Marius

Re: [O] How to set up anniversaries/birthdays with org-contacts-anniversaries?
The org sexp handler issues this message whenever an error is signalled when trying to evaluate the sexp. In this case (as in most of these cases), the error is probably because org-contacts-anniversaries is not defined, for whatever reason. Try to eval (org-contacts-anniversaries) manually - what do you get? I get via M-x org-contacts-anniversaries? I get No match , | Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function org-contacts-anniversaries) | (org-contacts-anniversaries) | eval((org-contacts-anniversaries) nil) | eval-last-sexp-1(nil) | eval-last-sexp(nil) | call-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil nil) ` Then load org-contacts with (require 'org-contacts) Yes, I already had this in .emacs (and obtained No match) or similar, and try the eval again. I get nil as a result, but more importantly, no error. Assuming that you get no error either, try the agenda again. Nick I found out that the error happens due to either one of two reasons: 1) I have a :BIRTHDAY: tag which is 1970 or 2037 2) I have an empty :BIRTHDAY: tag Have you seen my link to stackoverflow above?

To see what I mean, put the following entries into an agenda file: * Test 1 SCHEDULED: 2011-11-05 Sat * DONE Test 2 SCHEDULED: 2011-11-05 Sat * Test 3 2011-11-05 Sat Because Test 1 it is not marked done, if you refresh your agenda view today, you will see something like this: Sched. 2x: Test 1 Test 2 does not show up because it is marked DONE and Test 3 does not show up because it does not contain the SCHEDULED keyword.

Hi I set up org-capture-templates like this: (setq org-capture-templates '((t TODO in ~/org/agenda.org - Tasks entry (file+headline Tasks) * TODO %?\n%^t\n%a))) If I fire up C-c a a in ~/org/agenda.org, I'll see the entries created via C-c c. They are displayed in the foreground color. I am wondering if I should adjust the above template to insert the date as SCHEDULED: date instead of just date? Apparently, the string SCHEDULED: is not required for an entry to appear in agenda view. However, a difference I saw was that SCHEDULED: date entries appeard in a different color ( a light green on my black background). An advantage of using the shorter version is, that the string Scheduled: does not appear in agenda view which creates more space for the Todo's heading. Cheers, Marius

Re: [O] How to get numbered lists (1), (2), … ?
Hi all, I am quite impressed by this discussion, thanks a lot. I am an org-mode user for just a couple of days, and an emacs user for four weeks today. Needless to say, I can't contribute anything useful to this discussion. The only thing(s) I would like to say is/are: (1) If it is not too complicated from a technical point of view, I would strongly recommend to enable lists like (1), (2), etc. I gave some reasons in one of my earlier e-mails in this thread. There are many more (from a typography point of view, but also from a technical point of view [e.g., if you have auto-pairing of parentheses enabled, it's just more convenient.]). (2) From a LaTeX point of view, I am sure the experts here (and I mean everyone in this thread except me) know the LaTeX package enumitem. It gives the greatest flexibility of creating lists I know of and behaves better in many circumstances than other enumerate-like environments. So I can only recommend using this approach for making lists (in which way this is possible/desirable I can't tell since I'm not an org-mode expert). I will certainly become a heavy org-mode user in the next months/years. Lists like (1), (2),... I would definitely use a lot.

I can work it out in a few days if we agree. What percentage of users (OK, not percentage of users but numbers of users) you think will *actually* exercise the opt-in and opt-out configuration if provided? If the number of hands raised is in single digits, I would assume that it is more of a niche feature and let go of it. Is it psychologically very taxing to see 1. instead of a (1) in an Org buffer. Could it be so taxing that a user's productivity will be impacted by it? Or Is it that more varieties of bullets is needed for creating rich deeply nested lists so that each level of the list can take on a different bullet for better differentiation. --

Re: [O] How to get numbered lists (1), (2), … ?
Dear Nick,
thanks for helping.
What do you mean by better solution? As far as I can tell, your approach is
precisely what Suvayu pointed to. Using your approach, of course much more is
possible, please look at the create enumitem package with all its
customizations.
But this approach is a no-go for me (at least at the moment) mainly due to the
following reasons (please let me know if I'm wrong, I'm a total newbie to
org-mode):
1) I have about 40 lists in one file. Having to put in special LaTeX commands
is not an option (maybe on only has to type it in once, but then it can easily
get overseen, e.g., when you move lists around and the one containing the LaTeX
commands is not the first one in the document anymore)
2) org-mode is basically a better text-mode. I don't want to have LaTeX code
in there if I print it as a .txt file.
Is there a solution without having to put
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{enumerate}
before each list? Can this be set anywhere in the preferences?
But I assume that I still have to put in lists in org-mode like this: 1.,2.,...
or 1),2),... and can't put them in like this (1),(2),...?
Hmm... this is indeed a drawback. The latter lists a far better visible, they
are more consistent with respect to other list types such as (i), (ii), etc.,
and ultimately also with respect to numbering of equations. There are probably
even more typographic reasons to display lists like this. For example, if you
refer to a list within a theorem environment (which has a label itself) and you
use 1., 2.,... lists, then this looks like this:
Theorem 1.2 2. shows that ...
The eye hardly sees that one means Theorem 1.2 Part (2). Even worse, when
reading this, one thinks that the sentence stops after 2.. It's really a bad
thing, and not getting much better with right-sided parentheses.
Cheers,
Marius

Dear Suvayu,

Depends on how much customization you are willing to go through: there is an
enumerate.sty package in LaTeX that can do that:
--8---cut here---start-8---
...
\usepackage{enumerate}
...
\begin{enumerate}[(1)]
\item foo
\item bar
\end{enumerate}
...
--8---cut here---start-8---
Inserting the \usepackage from the org file is no problem:
--8---cut here---end---8---
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{enumerate}
...
--8---cut here---end---8---
Getting the argument to the enumerate environment in the right place is
another matter. I think the only way is to redefine org-list-generic-to-latex
like this (add this to your initialization file, .emacs or whatever, after you
load org):
--8---cut here---start-8---

The only change is the definition of :ostart. Not a very flexible method,
but it will serve in a pinch. ngz et al. might have better ideas.
I should say that there are other ways to customize enumeration labels
in LaTeX - see e.g. http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=enumerate -
but afaict they would all require some rewiring of the above function, similar
to the above.
