Vry cool. Could we get some background information? How much time did it take to get all the elements coordinated and running properly? Was any piece particularly easy? Natural? Difficult? Were the grade reports assignment-specific or cumulative? Did the grading work for the entire

No, you're not the only one. I've run across it several times. I'd say about half of them revealed bugs on my part, but there's no doubt that it occasionally has to be raised for legitimate reasons. I assume that the default value is somewhat arbitrary, but chosen pragmatically. ,Doug Douglas

John, Tutorials like the ones you mentioned would be very much appreciated. After 5 months of learning about org-mode I am definitely still a noob. The manual looks great if you've already got a foot in the door, but for me it's been hard to know what direction to start learning in. ,Douglas

2013-01-02 Thread Doug Lewan
Exporting to LaTeX or PDF includes this line: \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} And that seems to cope quite well with the actual accented characters. If you learn an input method (latin-1-prefix is probably a good place to start), then accented characters just fall through to the LaTeX and the

For notes (and other things) I tend to use non-ASCII characters fairly freely. (Among them the most common are: ∃ -- there is, ∀ -- every, ∈ -- in, ∴ -- therefore, ≡, arrows, bullets, checks, subscripts, superscripts, etc.) It would be nice to be able to configure org-mode to handle them

Re: [O] Exchange calendar to orgmode

2012-11-29 Thread Doug Lewan
I've been slowly starting to learn about org-mode. So far it's mostly been a flexible document format for me. (Very good for tracking software issues, design, strategy, etc.) Getting access to my calendar off of our exchange server, however, might be the push I need to dive in deep! Thanks.
