Re: [O] About `open formula'

In the open formula, TAB re-indents just like in Emacs Lisp mode. What does the `open formula' mean? I've searched the Org manual/FAQ and web, and I only found this: http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os- part2.html But it seems that the `open formula' doesn't mean this.

[Orgmode] Organising freezers and generating shopping lists
I often find that I have lost food items in the botton of my freezer that I have to throw out because I've forgotten about them and I'm trying to set up an org-mode file that helps prevent that. I've made a file that lists the articles that I have put into the freezer such as different food types that have different freezer-lifes (lives?). I have used deadlines for the moment to indicate best before dates. Ideally I would like to have some sort of automated system that alerts me in the agenda that I have some sausages or something still in the freezer that should be used soon but say a month before the actual use-by date. I could see maybe using the SCHEDULED keyword for that. But what I would like is that the todo word which is AVAILABLE gets changed to say SOON (any better choices?) on the day indicated by the SCHEDULED date. Has anyone done something like this or could anyone suggest some code that I could study to do this for myself? Also of course if I change the status from AVAILABLE to USED because I have actually taken it out of the freezer, I would like to be able to add that Item to another file that could be exported to a shopping list. I know I could look at some of the trigger functions that people have sent into the mailing list. This I could probably work out myself with enough time, but if someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. A generic capture template that would let you add the category of food and the use-by date could be automatically inserted eg if it is fish the use-by date is automatically +3m from now. I haven't studied the new capture templates yet, I still rely on my old remember set up. But would the new capture templates be capable of this, especially with some accompanying functions?

I mention this because while arranging some piece of music recently, I noticed that Org-mode might be helpful in this context - it is probably already possible by tweaking org-babel a bit: lilypond encourages the user to structure music in a way that lends itself rather naturally to processing with Org-mode - you can assign a theme, a few bar with notes or even whole voices to variables and use them repeatedly. And imagine using Org-mode's outline capabilities to structure a piece of music. Exporting an org-file with lilypond-snippets in it to PDF or HTML might also be an interesting option. I have not yet put any effort into it and just wanted to find out if anybody apart from me finds the combination of Org-mode and lilypond (potentially) exciting.

I use the jit-lock package that comes with emacs. Stealth fontifying It makes font-lock only happen after the buffer is loaded and when you are not doing anything else.

Some of these issues could also be addressed on the episode's webpage, which would link to relevant docs and info. As far as some of the missing keystrokes, I was trying to find a balance between showing every keystroke (and risk confusing the user), or just show only the keys with modifiers (my 2 options in the tool, unfortunately).

I can't recall, but did you clarify meta = alt on Win/Linux and Command on Mac? Stuff like that might be helpful. Obviously these won't all be done on a Mac and some unfamiliar with it might wonder what the Command and carat symbols are on their own keyboards? As Erik said -- folding and perhaps adjusting in and out (meta + left/right). Also, it seems that only the meta or control functions show up as keystrokes. For example, I thought you said M-n s and M-n w to narrow on the tree and then widen the view but I only ever saw one part of that flash on the screen. Great, great job.

[Orgmode] Re: macros: escaping , and comments
On Fri, 13 Aug 2010 00:02:09 +0200, Stefan Vollmar wrote: Hello, we are currently changing our institute's web site so that staff members can have a personal page: they can submit Org-mode files which are then automatically converted to (rather nice) HTML pages. One advantage is that this allows us to give staff members a lot of freedom to create content while keeping a corporate identity look (and getting the director's permission in the first place). Our template needs a macro in the org template to create a more fancy summary of personal information with a table, a portrait and some icons (aside: please note that you can create really complex HTML code this way if necessary). Here is a very simple example: #+title: test #+macro: mhead #+html: tabletrtd email: $1/tdtd phone: $2/td/tr/table {{{mhead( someb...@somewhere.org, 1-234-2134 )}}} Imagine more lines (job description, fax, homepage, etc) and a more complex table (hidden in a setup file). Having users provide information in this way is not ideal, but has worked surprisingly well (the rest of the template is proper Org-mode content). When creating the Org templates we ran into these problems with Org-mode 7.01 and Emacs 23.2.1: (1) How can we escape , in the macro call? Ideally, we would need something like this: {{{mhead( one entry\, still the same entry, the second variable... (2) It would be nice to use something like this: {{{mhead( # Email someb...@somewhere.org, # Phone 1-234-2134 )}}} What would be really nifty would be to turn this kind of thing into microformats. http://microformats.org/ How hard would that be? However, the # lines are currently not ignored (as comments) when expanding the macro, these kind of comment lines would be helpful when providing templates in general. (3) if, in the above example, we delete the #+title line before the macro definition, that macro stops working (the macro definition is not interpreted as such). It seems there must be at least one line with arbitraty contents before the macro definition (bug?). I think, that (1) (maybe it is already possible - apologies if I overlooked something) and (2) would be useful features in Org-mode. Many thanks in advance for any help with this.

I have been using the org-learning module in some study and while it is quite useful as it is, I was thinking that I might improve my use by a special agenda command that could pull out and display a property. Use case: I use the org-learning to re-read sections of a book I am studying. And so I have a :PAGES: property with the page numbers of the section I am to read. Specially if I bomb out on remembering what I am supposed to know! I was wondering if I could create a custom agenda command that would display the page numbers from that property so that I can just open the book up at the relevant pages for immediate study instead of going to the relevant todo, opening up the drawer and seeing what the page numbers are?

That way I could do things like * TODO write first chapter GOAL: 2009-03-09 Mon * TODO submit manuscript GOAL: 2009-05-15 Fri DEADLINE: 2009-06-01 Mon Where the first represents my own planning process and the second contains my target completion date (trying to work ahead!) and the hard constraint imposed by whoever I'm submitting to.

You could use the following Makefile snippet to automate the process: projectPlan.csv: projectPlan.org $(EMACS) -batch \ -eval (progn (find-file \$\) (re-search-forward \^| Task\) (org-table-export \$...@\)) -kill projectPlan.tji: projectPlan.csv $(CSV2TASKJUGGLER) $ $@ projectPlan.taskreport.html: projectPlan.tjp projectPlan.tji $(TASKJUGGLER) $ Attached is the python script, an example org file and an example for a tjp file. Let me know if this works for you. I meant to write a tutorial about this but you know how it is. Maybe you could write one as you get this to work :-) Hope this helps Christian Oh very interesting. I know it will take me a while but I will look at this closely to understand what is happening. Another think I'm slowly working through is to understand etask which uses LaTeX and pstricks to make a Gantt chart.

[Orgmode] org and taskjuggler
I am enrolled in a course that teaches methods of project administration and I'm using org for my personal notes. One of the set tasks for the project scenario is to produce a Gantt chart. It can be simply a spreadsheet or something from a program like planner or msproject. I vaguely remember a thread a fair while ago about a exporter to taskjuggler format and I was wondering if that had gone any further than thought? Or perhaps someone knows another way to get a Gantt chart out of org-mode data. Any suggestions that don't require too much scripting would be appreciated. I'm just trying to get out of reentering all the work I've done in org into planner or ooo-calc. Shelagh ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

You can now use the key C-c ' (that is C-c followed by the single quote) to edit the example in its native mode. This works by creating an indirect buffer, narrowing it to the example and setting the appropriate mode. You need to exit editing by killing that indirect buffer, with `C-x k'. This is important, because lines that have syntactic meaning in Org will be quoted when the indirect buffer is killed. Carsten-- This is a phenomenally exciting addition. Combining this with the htmlized code examples in html export, and the option for \LaTeX export, org has clearly just vaulted past the rest of the field for literate programming. Expect a tutorial from me in the next few weeks about using org with RWeave (the R variant of SWeave). This will be a fantastic way to write articles that include statistical analyses and figures. That said, don't be surprised if by opening this door you end up with some new feature requests from me :) One addition that I can already see being interested in is the evaluation of embedded code before export, so that the results of the code are included along with the source. Obviously, there are security issues here that will need to be thought about, but I'd like to see if we could make this work. Greedy feature requests aside, this is very, very cool. I guess it would be nice to exit with `C-c C-c', but who knows what this key is supposed to do in a random mode. I can tell you now that C-c C-c is almost as overloaded in R-mode (from the package ESS) as it is in org-mode, and I will want it to have its R-mode interpretation while I edit R code. While I'm writing, I'll try to keep an eye out for sensible ways of jumping out of coding mode and back to org-mode.

[Orgmode] Inserting columns
I wrote an email a while ago but I guess it must have got lost in the system. I have been trying to insert columns on org-tables with M-S - as it says can be done on the refcard. It does not work. I wondered if it was because there was a trick to it. You know, putting point on a line or something. I've investigated a bit further, with the aide of my trusty emacs manual and did a C-h w on org-table-insert-column command and it says org-table-insert-column is not on any key. I wonder if the org-card is out of date? Or is it meant to be on M-S - and this just got left out somehow. I don't mind putting a keybinding command myself, but if it is intentional that this command is not bound, perhaps the refcard needs to be updated. I'm using emacs-snapshot packaged by ubuntu on feisty with org-mode 4.75. Shelagh ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
