[O] caldav-sync owncloud on Digital Ocean servers and self signed certificates.
I am trying to get org-caldav to work with my Owncloud which is running on a Digital Ocean server. I am getting the message org-caldav-check-connection:[server address/path_to_calendar]does not seem to accept DAV requests I suspect the issue is related to the self signed certificates on the Digital Ocean server. Which my Android devices or with Firefox I can install the self signed certificates and the Owncloud Calender syncs fine. I am not seeing a way to do that with Emacs Org-Mode. Is there a way to deal with self-signed certificates in Emacs Org with org-caldav and Owncloud? -- Regards, Paul about.me/pauljamesharper GnuPG Fingerprint: B3C2 6A80 BB3E 8D4D 126E 4FBE 5F62 4195 17D3 CB75 “Wisdom consists in being able to distinguish among dangers and make a choice of the least harmful.” — Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince “The user’s going to pick dancing pigs over security every time.” — Bruce Schneier
[O] Orgzly mobile Org-Mode app for Android now with folding
I just noticed that Orgzly the mobile app for Android now has folding. I think this will be replacing Mobile-Org for me. 1.4-beta.4 is out. It should be the last beta, if no issues are found. • Add "Fold content" option • Add "Display content in search" option • Rearrange Settings • Update "What's New" dialog's button when DB upgrade is in progress • Use large bullet for folded notes with children Opt-in to receive beta releases if you haven't already: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.orgzly Regards, Paul

Re: [O] Converting a Dissertation Template from docx to .org to use for LaTeX
Thanks for those replies. I basically followed Ken's suggestion. I started with the Kings College London dissertation template and used writer2latex to create a .tex file. Then I gradually built the the Org-File. I have ended up with something I can use to write using org-mode with a nice Solarized-Dark theme instead of frying my eyeballs in LibreOffice. The key things are the Table of Contents are in the correct place and I have bibtex working the way I want. The other thing is in the end I have to convert from the .tex file to a .docx file using pandoc. So I'll have to do some minor edits in LibreOffice anyway because it is not saving certain formating features like double spacing. But that will be a two minute final editing job. So now I just have to write 500 words a day for the next 30 days and I'll have a first draft! ;) Regards, Paul On 4 May 2015 at 23:20, Ken Mankoff mank...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Paul, For this type of one-off project (a thesis), I'd suggest you a) remove all Org-generated LaTeX header, b) create your own LaTeX preamble that you \include{preamble} in your Org file, and then all of your questions become LaTeX questions, not Org questions. Those LaTeX questions are likely easily googlable (or bingable) and found on TeX.SE. At the top of your Org document you can embed all the LaTeX code you want to generate the custom title and signature pages required by your institution. Just my 2c.

[O] Exporting citations come out as citep instead of APA + bibliography not printing
I am using Emacs http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ 24.4.50.1 (Org http://orgmode.org mode 8.2.7b) I am not getting the bibliography or references I need. I have a references.bib file on Dropbox at /home/felixdz/Dropbox/bibliography/references.bib. I am using Eric Schulte's Starter Kit for Emacs 24 along with Vikas Rawal's research-toolkit.org. https://github.com/vikasrawal/orgpaper/blob/master/orgpapers.org The only other customization I have done is add the solarized-dark theme. I am using this simple template from Ivan Hanigan with the R code stuff edited out. http://ivanhanigan.github.io/2013/11/a-sharp-looking-orgmode-latex-export-header/ The headers, text and general layout are printing well. However instead of getting the nice .pdf's, .odt's or html like Mr Hanigan I get the following output: - Sharp Report Template Table of Contents - 1. Introduction #sec-1 - 2. Section 1 #sec-2 - 3.

[O] Warning (initialization): Your `load-path' seems to contain your `.emacs.d' directory
I am an emacs and org-mode newbie. I am mainly coming to Emacs for Org-Mode. So am using Eric Schulte's Emacs Starter Kit 24. I put this in .emacs.d. It is suggested in the kit Move the resulting directory to ~/.emacs.d http://eschulte.github.io/emacs24-starter-kit/#fn.1 http://eschulte.github.io/emacs24-starter-kit/ When I start Emacs I get the following error. Warning (initialization): Your `load-path' seems to contain your `.emacs.d' directory: /home/username/.emacs.d/ This is likely to cause problems... Consider using a subdirectory instead, e.g.: /home/username/.emacs.d/lisp I am uncertain how I should proceed now. I suspect this will be a common problem for new people. How should I setup the Emacs Starter Kit? Move the whole kit to /home/username/.emacs.d/lisp ? Put the init.el in .emacs.d?

Re: [O] Warning (initialization): Your `load-path' seems to contain your `.emacs.d' directory
Thanks. I had seen that thread but it is still unclear to me what that means. I just found this which has some discussion from Eric Schulte himself. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-04/msg01777.html I'll have to go and read this. If I get a solution I'll make sure I post it.
