[Orgmode] Re: Using org-mode to write an academic curriculum vitae (CV)

 Hey orgsters,

 I've seen a few messages in the gmane archive, but I can't tell how
 many people are using org-mode for this purpose.

 1) Do you use org-mode to maintain your CV?
 2) If so, do you use a LaTeX export template?
 3) If so, mind sharing? :)

 Thanks in advance! I'm tempted to just publish my CV as plain text or,
 better yet, in YAML. But, I'm not sure economists would quite
 appreciate the statement that would make...

 Jeff

I use the =moderncv= class for LaTeX, no org-export or such. I think the
effort of constructing a working org-special class LaTeX-exporter is a
lot greater than learning to use the LaTeX-class properly. The
=moderncv= is bundled with at least TeX Live, not sure about MiKTeX.

Otherwise, Dario Taraborelli has a nice template for making an academic
cv, read about it on his page:

http://nitens.org/taraborelli/cvtex

Myriad Pro is a very fancy and nice looking font for this kind of
things, just a tip.

 excellent link, thank you!

 Myriad Pro is indeed also one of my favourites, however, one should
 add that this is a commercial font available from Adobe. These days,
 it is bundled with Adobe's Illustrator CS package.

 Warm regards,

off-topic 
Actually, since I hadn't had my morning coffee when writing
that mail, I mistyped. I ment Minion Pro, not Myriad Pro. Myriad Pro
goes *great* with Minion Pro, and I *really* recommend using it with the
=microtype= package in LaTeX. But now I'm very much OT.

However, Minion and Myriad are actually bundled with Adobe Acrobat
Reader. I'm not too sure about licensing and such, but the fonts can be
found somewhere in the Acrobat Reader-directory. In their otf-versions.

[Orgmode] Re: [Bug] Abstract block prematurely ended by asterisk

2010-12-16 Thread Oscar Carlsson
Jeff Horn jrhorn...@gmail.com writes:

 Title says it all. The following code does not export correctly.
 (Reproduced from memory can anyone else confirm?)

 #+BEGIN_ABSTRACT
 *Bold Text.* This is a sentence.
 #+END_ABSTRACT

 The LaTeX code produced is (in full)

 #+BEGIN_SRC latex
 \begin{ABSTRACT}
 *Bold
 #+END_SRC

 Note the lack of a closing environment and the truncated content. I
 remember pdflatex complaining that ABSTRACT is an invalid
 environment, but don't recall whether that was related to the asterisk
 issue.

 Using org-mode 7.4 in emacs 23.2.

 Jeff

I'm using 6.33x, but I can partly reproduce it when exporting to LaTeX
(HTML works, tho):

#+BEGIN_SRC latex
\textbf{Bold Text.\} This is a sentence.
#+END_SRC

I guess I should upgrade...

[Orgmode] Re: Sending org buffer as mail?

2010-12-16 Thread Oscar Carlsson
Rainer M Krug r.m.k...@gmail.com writes:

 Hi

 From time to time, I would like to mail an .org buffer. At the moment, I
 copy it into thunderbird and mail it - this is quite awkward.

 I assume, there must be a better way of doing this from within emacs?.

 I do not intend to switch to gnus or similar for reading my email, I
 just want to be able to send, from time to time, an .org buffer as an email

 Cheers,

 Rainer

You don't have to switch to GNUS in order to do it, but you might have
to configure Emacs's built in smtp-support. This is how I do it:

#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
  smtpmail-starttls-credentials '((smtp.gmail.com 587 nil nil))
  smtpmail-auth-credentials ~/.authinfo
  smtpmail-default-smtp-server smtp.gmail.com
  smtpmail-smtp-server smtp.gmail.com
  smtpmail-smtp-service 587)
#+END_SRC

This is obviously for GMail. In my ~/.authinfo, I input the following:

#+BEGIN_SRC
machine smtp.gmail.com login user.n...@gmail.com password p4ssw0rd
#+END_SRC

And then, I can send a org-file by attaching it to a mail in Emacs. Try
C-x m to start a new mail buffer, attach with C-c C-a and send with C-c
C-c.

 Does this attach the buffer or read it into the message? I thought the
 OP wanted to read-in a buffer. There should be a built-in function for
 that, but I've never used it.

It would attach the file. But inserting the file would be trivial: =M-x
insert-file=

But I have to admit that's not optimal - it would be better have a macro
(or such) that did it for you. Or properties in the org-file in
question. Or tell compose-mail that it should include marked text.

 Sounds very interesting - I'll try it out.

 C-x m looks great - I am sure I am going to use it a lot. And gmail is
 exactly what I want to use it for.

 Yes - that was effectively what I am looking for: the possiblility to
 write my email in org mode and send the buffer content as the email text.

 Dream: Specify subject, to, cc, bcc (probably even attachments) as
 properties, press a key and the org file is send to the addresses.

 Rainer

 There should be a built-in function for
 that, but I've never used it.
 

In my answer above, you'd have to include the file as an attachment, or
insert the text into the mail (either with M-x insert-file or
copy/paste), it would have been better if compose-mail would have
inserted any marked text or such, but I don't know how to code such
functionality :-(

 Thanks Oscar - I think I can live with it at the moment.
 
 But to insert the marked text in the email body sounds a lot like emacs...

 OK - I asked on the emacs help list, and got a response. I added the
 followig to my emacs.org:

 * Add message hook to include selected text as body
 Thanks to Deniz Dogan
 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
   (add-hook 'message-mode-hook
 (lambda ()
   (let (text)
 (with-current-buffer (other-buffer)
   (when (region-active-p)
 (setq text
   (buffer-substring (region-beginning)
 (region-end)
 (when text
   (end-of-buffer)
   (insert text)
 #+end_src

 This is doing exactly as expected.

Oh, I think that can be very handy in the long run. Thanks for sharing
the snippet!
