Fwd: solved: how to exclude several single dates from a diary block (was: how to exclude several single dates from a diary block)
Thank you very much, indeed, Ihor. diary-date was exactly the function I was looking for. Please allow me to report that in the meantime I have found a method that seems to suit my personal needs even better. You can use <%%(org-class 2022 04 11 2022 07 15 4 21 26)> to set every Thursday (4) in the time range between April 11th, 2022 and July 15th, 2022, but exclude (the Thursdays in) ISO weeks 21 and 26 (ie, 2022-05-26 and 2022-06-30). Less to type and easier to do if your calendar carries ISO-week numbers. Many thanks again for the help Rainer Am So., 24.

Re: how to exclude several single dates from a diary block
Thanks for the answer. I used to do this, too, and am aware of this possibility. I find it kind of clutters up the org file and was happy to find a way to avoid this. I will return to this if I need to, but would prefer to adapt the more elegant way to do it, if there is a way. Many thanks again Rainer Am Fr., 22.

how to exclude several single dates from a diary block
I use Org-Mode to schedule most everything, including my lectures which typically are recurring events. I have learnt that I can exclude a certain range of days or weeks where no lectures take place. For this, I use: * TODO 12:15--13:45 Lecture: Aristotle <%%(unless (diary-block 12 20 2021 12 31 2021) (and (= 3 (calendar-day-of-week date)) (diary-block 10 18 2021 02 11 2022)))> which means that the lecture on Aristotle is scheduled for every Wednesday between October 18th, 2021 and February 11th, 2022 – except for the time between December 20th, 2021 and December 31st, 2021. What I need to do for this year is to exclude single dates such as April 26th, 2022 and June 21st, 2022. Can someone please help me how to achieve this?

[O] Problems with exporting in org-mode 9.1.6
I am getting the error message «Wrong type argument: listp, #("This is
the Title" 0 17 (:parent (#0)))» (or similar) whenever I try to export
a file with header options to any format (html, txt, pdf via LaTeX,
...), if the file has a header. Minimal example:
-->
#+TITLE: This is the Title
org-mode 9.1.6 does not seem to handle the headers properly. When there
is a header, exporting fails with the message: «Wrong type argument:
listp, #("This is the Title" 0 17 (:parent (#0)))». There was no such
problem with previous recent org-mode versions.
<--
Exporting runs through correctly when I remove the line «#+TITLE: This
is the Title».
Any ideas there?
Thanks in advance

[O] org export: how to avoid putting :export: in the exported file?
I often export org-files, most of the time to LaTeX/pdf, but the behaviour/problem is alike with many export filters. Let us say I want to export an org-file that runs like this: > * First Section > Some text > * Second Section :export: > Some more text > * Third Section > Even more text When I export this file to an ASCII buffer, the result is: > 1 Second Section:export: > > > Some more text (note «:export:» in the first line on the right) Likewise, in the case of a LaTeX export, the tag «export» is put in small caps in the exported file, with odt export in small caps and square brackets. Of course, it is easy to remove the tag in the output file. But I often export to pdf via LaTeX and automatically have deleted all intermediate files including the LaTeX file. So it would save me time to avoid putting the tag in the file in the first place. So, how can I avoid getting the «export» tag put in the output file?

Re: [O] comma as decimal point: bug?
Hi Bastien, hi Nicolas, 2012/8/26 Bastien : > But I guess it's confusing to align numbers as if they were numbers, > and to then tell the users "well, they are not really numbers." I myself indeed was confused, but now that I know it only concerns aligning of numbers I have no problem living with it. I had be surprised by the supposed change, anyway, because Bastien (I think) in earlier versions of the manual had most definitely excluded to allow commas to be used as decimal points. I am not a programmer and are probably unaware of the problems coming up when allowing both dots and commas to be used as decimal points. As a user, I can say it would be an advantage when exporting org-files to LaTeX or ODT etc. Many thanks again and best wishes Rainer -- Prof. Dr. Rainer Thiel Institut für Altertumswissenschaften 07737 Jena, Germany (EU) r.th...@uni-jena.de
[O] (not so) sticky agendas
I use to have the agenda for the next 21 days automatically displayed when Emacs ist run. For this purpose, I have put (org-agenda-list) as one of the last entries in my .emacs init file (the org-agenda-span is set to 21 befor in the custom variables). The agenda thereby displayed is not sticky, though. When I «bury» it, it is computed again when pressing C-c a a. An agenda produced with C-c a a and then «buried» is sticky and works as expected.

[O] comma as decimal point: bug?
I have seen that as of v. 7.9, org tables are supposed to accept commas as decimal points which is useful if you set up tables to be used in in files where continental conventions are expected to be followed. But I cannot see this really works. I should have expected that the following two tables should provide the same result: --> | Items | Price | |+---| | Item 1 | 15.3 | | Item 2 | 2.3 | |+---| | Sum| 17.6 | #+TBLFM: @4$2=vsum(@II..@I) | Items | Price | |+---| | Item 1 | 15,3 | | Item 2 | 2,3 | |+---| | Sum|23 | #+TBLFM: @4$2=vsum(@II..@I) <-- As you can see, the outcome is quite different, and wrong when commas are used instead of decimal points. The value of org-table-number-regexp should be the standard value in org 7.9: --> org-table-number-regexp is a variable defined in `org-table.el'. Its value is "^\\([<>]?[-+^.,0-9]*[0-9][-+^.,0-9eEdDx()%:]*\\|\\(0[xX]\\)[0-9a-fA-F]+\\|nan\\)$" <-- Am I doing wrong something here, or is this a bug in org 7.9?

[O] parse-time-months/weekdays configuration conflicting with gnus (?)
I have configured the variables parse-time-months and parse-time-weekdays with the German months and weekday names and appropriate abbreviations to be able to use them when setting a time-stamp in org-mode. This has worked fine for years, and still does as far as org-mode is concerned. Since I recently switched to emacs 24.0.93.1, this configuration appears to conflict with gnus. When starting gnus, I am getting an error message like «Invalid date: Tue, 06 Mar 2012 17:53:09 +0100». Does anyone know how to get this right? Many thanks in advance.

[O] Org Mode export: xelatex
I am aware I am not the only one who wants to export text written in org-mode in pfd through XeLaTeX.

I use Emacs 23 on a Windows Vista machine. I do manage to persuade org-mode to use XeLaTeX instead of pdfLaTeX, but org-mode insists upon including the fontenc and inputenc packages even though in org-export-latex-default-packages-alist both packages are set to "nil". So compilation of the tex-file produced by org-mode fails. I can heal this by manually removing both packages from the tex-file, but this, of course, detracts much from the convenience I am used to in using org-mode. Any hints how to solve this problem?

As I had explained in my demonstration file, it never occurs when I am exporting the whole file. It does occur, though, at least here, when I mark the folded title line of the first section in an active region and then start the export function to export only the first section (= first outline tree). Could you try if you can reproduce the problem under this condition?

[Orgmode] possible bug in org-export (LaTeX), again
I now realise I sent my answeer only to Manish and not to the list, so I am forwarding it now. In substance, my test file does (and did) have a blank line at the beginning and the problem still persists. I am afraid it is not exactly the same problem that was reportet some time ago. I am appending the .org-source-file and the exported .tex-file again. -- Forwarded message -- From: Rainer Thiel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 2008/10/25 Subject: Re: [Orgmode] possible bug in org-export (LaTeX) To: Manish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2008/10/25 Manish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > A similar issue was reported a few weeks ago [1].

Well, as you can see in my example, the first line of my document is actually a blank line, indeed. I was aware of that easy workaround, and it did work with that problem (in fact, I had found the workaround myself before I'd read that posting). I have no idea why it doesn't work here in this case.

[Orgmode] possible bug in org-export (LaTeX)
The following is a demonstration file explaining and showing the problem I have and think is a bug. I append the LaTeX file that shows the bug. In it, I have commented out a few lines in there due to my settings that should be unrelated to the problem. As usual, many thanks to Carsten Dominik for this great mode. Rainer Thiel # File to demonstrate LaTeX export bug * First section: Short org-mode export demonstration file This is a short text intended to explain what I think may be a bug in org-mode's LaTeX exporting feature. The substance of the problem is that when exporting into a LaTeX-buffer the text. ** First subsection: introduction This is an idle paragraph in the first section. Is is /not/ meaningful in any way. It is just here to display some text. Together with the first paragraph, this second paragraph should already be enough to show the problem. ** Second subsection: problem description * When I am exporting the whole file, everything works as expected. * When I am marking the folded title-line of the first section in an active region as explained in 12.4 of the org manual (6.10), the latex-file is created as expected, except that the whole text to be set is repeated (with headlines including the asterisks) /before/ the first LaTeX-section. I suppose this should be a bug. * Second section This second section does not have any sense at all. # End of file -- Prof. Dr. Rainer Thiel Institut für Altertumswissenschaften 07737 Jena, Germany (EU) [EMAIL PROTECTED] exporttest.tex Description: TeX document ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] orgtbl-mode and numerical keypad
I have noticed a side-effect of orgtbl-mode that I suppose is not intended: Whenever orgtbl-mode is active, pressing any key on the numerical keypad (except for ) doesn't insert any character, but produces the following error message: "Wrong type argument: commandp, nil". As all relevant keys in that case are bound to orgtbl-self-insert-command, the problem may lurk in that function definition. I first thought the problem might be an interference with auctex, but now see it can be reproduced with text mode after starting Emacs from the command line with "emacs -q" and evaluating "(require 'org-install)" in the *scratch* buffer. Thanks for this excellent mode and thank for any and all help!

Re: [Orgmode] adding up decimal fractions in the spreadsheet
Hi Carsten, 2008/9/27 Carsten Dominik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > The other thing you can do is to use your own format to convert the number. > Maybe something like "%.2f" will work for you? Hard to make this correct > for the general case though. Yes, this is not a way to go, as far as I can see, for exactly that reason. Interestingly, | 12130.68 | | -1444.19 | | -12744.90 | | -186.00 | | 7000.00 | | -7056.00 | | -335.58 | | -277.00 | | -2912.99 | #+TBLFM: @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@8$1 gives the correct value, there's no need to add `;f2' at the end of the last line. This in itself is a way to go, of course, but would be more comfortable to have a way to sum up all rows but the last one (without having to keep track of the number of rows) or at least to work with ranges, which as far as I have seen so far seems not to be possible in this case. These are minutiae, of course. org-mode is already excellent, and since I discovered it a few weeks ago, I've been making use of it at all times.

[Orgmode] adding up decimal fractions in the spreadsheet
Following a hint by Bernt Hansen, I have now changed org-table-sum to (format "%s" res) until I'll be able to use the corrected version Carsten Dominik uploaded to the git repository (which I am not sure how to access). Even so, org-table-sum at times shows a strange behaviour. When I try to sum up the following table: | 12130.68 | | -1444.19 | | -12744.90 | | -186.00 | | 7000.00 | | -7056.00 | | -335.58 | | -277.00 | I get -2912.98993 (-2912.99 being the exact result). This is something I'd expect when square roots or logarithms are implied, but with such a simple addition and subtraction of decimal numbers I'd be inclined to call it a bug. Is there a way to improve org-mode in this respect?

[Orgmode] decimal fractions when summing up large numbers
I have a problem I am confident there is a solution to. I even suspect it may be explained in the manual, but can't for the life of me find it: Summing up small numbers in tables isn't a problem even when they have digits after the decimal point. For example, org-table-sum applied on the table | 1.7 | | 1.5 | | 1.3 | correctly gives 30001.5. On the other hand, applied on the table | 10.7 | | 10.5 | | 10.3 | org-table-sum gives 32, the correctly rounded value of 31.5, which would be the exact value. How can I make org-table-sum deliver the exact value? If this is explained in the manual, please point me to the relevant section.

[Orgmode] org-mode remember visibility
I like the interaction of org-mode and remember, and I have defined
the following templates with minimal and trivial adaptations of what
is suggested in the manual:
(setq org-remember-templates
'(("Todo" ?t "* TODO %?\n %i\n %a" org-default-notes-file "Aufgaben")
("Notiz" ?n "* %U %?\n\n %i\n %a" org-default-notes-file "Notizen")
("Besprechung" ?b "* %^{Besprechung mit} %U %?\n\n %i\n"
org-default-notes-file "Besprechungen")
("Idee" ?i "* %^{Title}\n %i\n %a"
org-default-notes-file "Ideen")))
This works fine. What I find confusing though, is that initially the
Text of the newly created entry (including text inserted from the
active region) is invisible. Is there are good reason for this
default behaviour, and is there a way to change it, viz. to start the
entry as visible?
Many thanks in advance
Rainer Thiel

I can't seem to find a way to configure the variable org-export-latex-classes either directly (via customize-variable) or through customizing a group. customize-variable can't find this variable, and I am unable to find the customizing group it may be in.
