Re: [O] Export to multiple HTML files
This: https://github.com/mbork/org-one-to-many may be a starting point. It is a small library which splits an org file into many smaller ones. (Bug reports/feature requests welcome, btw.) The main function returns the list of generated files, so you could #'mapc some export function over it. Thanks! I'll check this out. It makes it a lot easier for another project I'm working on involving Gopher, too.
Re: [O] Entering Repeating Scheduled Tasks in the Minibuffer
PS What is the meaning of (=F) that appears at the end of the minibuffer? I believe this means org has chosen the future option of an ambiguous input. e.g., it is December 10th. I use C-c . to create a timestamp and simply put in 9. The closest date that matches is December 9th, but there is a setting (I think org-read-date-prefer-future) that makes it prefer to choose a date in the future, so it is letting you know that it is opting for the future date instead of the closest date. I could be wrong, but that is my understanding.
[O] Conditionally export certain sections based on predefined types
Not a great title, but I'm not sure how to explain what I want succinctly. I'm trying to write a resume, and I'd like to be able to export different versions of it for different things. For instance, I don't necessarily want to include my hourly job experience when applying for a programming job, and I'd like to exclude my programming and other technical experience for certain job applications. I'm thinking something like this * Work experience ** Some hourly job :PROPERTIES: :export-exclude: programming :END: * Programming languages :PROPERTIES: :export-exclude: hourly :END: Obviously it doesn't have to be properties, but I thought that was the most clear way to explain what I'm looking for. So I'd like to be able to export a specific type of resume, like a programming resume which excludes hourly jobs or an hourly resume which excludes programming language proficiency. Is there a way to do this already? Is there a canonical way to create this functionality? I'd rather not start hacking without a good idea of how more knowledgeable users might tackle this.
Re: [O] Float placement in org-latex
org-export-latex-image-default-option is just what I'm looking for, I think. I figured making all the images smaller would do it, I just didn't know if there was a way to do that without putting a #+ATTR_LATEX on every image or something. Thanks!
[O] Float placement in org-latex
Just a quick question for someone new to and quickly becoming enamored with org-latex-export. I'm encountering a problem with my floats. Namely, I have a section with not much text and several floats, it's probably about a page worth of actual text and 7-10 gnuplot-generated graph images. I have the gnuplot code inline in the text and the images are included from the #+RESULTS. My problem is that LaTeX keeps pushing them farther down the page until some of them are at the end, after the appendices. Is there a way I can maybe shrink the images to make them fit or force it to render them inline even if it leaves some blank space on the page? I wouldn't mind making them all quite small and having text flow around them but I'd rather not have to put in these settings for each and every graph. Can I do this as a default setting for all of them? Is there a set of best practices for this kind of thing? Sorry if this is a beginner question, but I haven't had much luck searching.
Re: [O] Org-mode Habit with Varying Description
All I've got now are a function that finds the logbook, and another that parses the log items and normalizes them: extracts the TODO states/timestamps/key-values and sets them as properties on the items themselves. Then you've got a pretty good basis from which to do reporting. Hooking into note-taking and todo state-change logging to prompt for values should be easy. I don't know yet how to approach the reporting part, mostly because I haven't sat down and thought about how this would be most useful. It will also require reading org-clock and org-habit in detail -- clearly reporting to a table like they do is the right way to go. How to get the most out of the data? I was thinking of having COLUMN_FORMULA and TABLE_FORMULA properties on the heading. When you report from the heading, each key in the logbook data creates a table column. Each column formula property creates another column, populated by that formula (presumably calculated from the data columns). Then the table formula gets slapped on to the bottom of it, and the whole thing runs. So if you had a heading like this: * TODO Anneal galoshes :LOGBOOK: GALOSHES: 15; CLOCK: [2014-10-15 Wed 09:07]--[2014-10-15 Wed 17:10] = 8:03 GALOSHES: 13; CLOCK: [2014-10-14 Tue 08:50]--[2014-10-14 Tue 16:30] = 7:40 GALOSHES: 14; CLOCK: [2014-10-13 Mon 09:30]--[2014-10-13 Mon 17:06] = 7:36 :END: You'd end up with a table with two data columns. Then you could have a COLUMN_FORMULA property that created a third column, displaying galoshes annealed per hour. And a TABLE_FORMULA property that did... something... with all that information. In a sense, it's a bit like column view, except using logbook data rather than property values. This sounds pretty great. I'd like to see the functions you have anyway, seems like something the community might find useful. I know I could find a few use cases for it.
Re: [O] Org-mode Habit with Varying Description
As Bastien said, this doesn't really fit the idea of a habit, but I think there is a reasonable non-elisp way of tweaking it to fit. Maybe it would help. What if you had something like this: * Read book :LOGBOOK: - Note taken on [2014-10-20 Mon 10:33] \\ 151-300 - Note taken on [2014-10-20 Mon 10:32] \\ 1-150 :END: :PROPERTIES: :STYLE:habit :END: I do this sometimes for things like this. The heading doesn't need to change as it can just be a reminder to read book and you can keep track of what you've read in the notes with C-c C-z. Optionally, if you have multiple books and you're reading different amounts of each one each day, you can just write how much you plan to read under the heading for each one, e.g. * Read book 100 pages each day * Read book 2 50 pages each day
Re: [O] Linked tasks
it seems to me that it's more 'depend' in the sense of 'this task has to be done for this other task to be doable'. IIRC, the TRIGGER property in org-depend.el allows you to change the state of another tree when the current one is marked done. I imagine you could use it to have a clone task in another tree that is TRIGGERed to change to done when the other is. Example * Some tree ** TODO Update CV :PROPERTIES: :TRIGGER: cv-clone(DONE) :END: * Some other tree ** TODO Update CV clone :PROPERTIES: :ID: cv-clone :END:
Re: [O] sharing my firsts, org babel tangle and init .org file
I've looked at the solution on worg and, though I didn't actually try to implement, it seems like tangling your init file every time you open Emacs is a little cumbersome. Please correct me if I'm wrong in this assumption. I also have a sync script hooked into my tangling that has to do with exporting some of my config sections to my gopher site so they're always up to date, so maybe it's just that my tangling experience is especially involved. Here's what I do. Since I probably only edit my config ~10% of the times that I open Emacs, it seems easier to just have a statically-tangled init file, so I just basically use C-c C-v C-t instead of C-x C-s to save my init.org. I also use somewhat customized init files on a few different hosts which share the same .emacs.d. They share come common functionality and differ slightly, so there are a few init files tangled into ~/.emacs.d of the form hostname.el and the init.el file is basically a switch which chooses which one to load on startup.

[O] Conditionally display breadcrumbs in agenda view
I know there is a way to display parent headlines using the agenda prefix. Is there a simple way to do this conditionally for certain subtrees? Here's my use case. I have an org file machines.org for keeping track of what I do to various machines I work on/administer (though I use that term hesitantly and extremely lightly :)). I keep TODO items for each machine for things like backups and updates. Sometimes I'll have an item that has subtasks and I don't want to make the parent heading a TODO item because it will clutter my agenda view. I just want the subtasks to show, but I'd like to have some reference to the overarching task. For example: * Tmux ** TODO Install ** TODO Set up basic keybindings ** TODO Fine tune config These showing up on their own could be a little esoteric. What I've been doing so far is just setting a CATEGORY property under Tmux so I can see what the top task is, but ideally I'd like to be able to set just this subtree to show Tmux/Install, etc in the agenda and everything else display normally. Is this possible? Thanks in advance Pete
Re: [O] How not to show repetitive tasks in the TODO items of agenda view
The problem is that all the birthdays and repetitive tasks are cluttering my view in agenda TODO items (C-c a t). Is it possible to make these items show up only in the agenda view (C-c a a) and not in the TODO items list (C-c a t) You could try define a custom agenda command to show all TODO items except those with deadlines. (setq org-agenda-custom-commands '((t TODOs without deadlines alltodo ((org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'deadline)) Try that for a start. Pete
[O] Search for defined property
I have trees in several agenda files with Effort properties and I'm trying to make an agenda view that shows all trees with this property defined. I know I can do 'M-x org-agenda m' to do a property search but this only seems to work searching for properties with a specific value. I'd like to see a list of all my trees I've committed Effort to. In my main org file I have a clock report which includes the Effort property and this works well for seeing Effort vs time worked, but for things I haven't clocked in to yet obviously nothing shows up. Is there a way I can view all trees which have a certain property defined or a (fairly simple) way to restructure the way I do things to accomodate this? Thanks
[O] Holidays without fixed dates
For instance, New Year's Day is always on January 1st, but something like the start of Daylight Saving Time is always around the same time but on the closest Sunday. Is there a ready-made solution for working this sort of thing into the agenda? So far I just have holidays in my agenda that have fixed dates with ++1y repeat intervals on them. I'm just wondering if there exists a solution or if I should make one. Thanks, Pete
[O] Errors trying to add properties to clocktable
Per section 8.4.2 of the manual, I'm trying to add a :properties column to the clocktable. Here are my block settings: #+BEGIN: clocktable :maxlevel 2 :scope agenda :block thisweek :properties CATEGORY :inherit-props Now, my goal is to add a work commitment in hours per week to some of the headings that will show up next to the actual clocked hours for the week, but I'm using CATEGORY as a testing example. The manual doesn't describe how to specify the property list, and since I get an error (Wrong type argument: stringp, 67), I'm sure I must be doing something wrong. Sorry if this is a basic question, but I couldn't find anything about it on google. Pete
Re: [O] Adding and subtracting from clocked entries.
Cecil Westerhof cldwester...@gmail.com writes: As far as I know, you can do exactly this (the subtracting clock time from one tree and adding it to another) but it's triggered on idle time, so if you're working on something else in emacs it won't ask you to resolve your idle clock time. I am trying out clock in org-mode. Is it possible to add en subtract times? For example I am working on project A from 09:00 until 13:00. But during this period I also worked for fifteen minutes on project B. I would like to subtract those fifteen minutes from project A and add them to project B. Can this be done? -- Cecil Westerhof
