[Orgmode] Org-mode version 5.02
Hi, I am releasing version 5.02 of Org-mode. It is available as part of CVS emacs, and here: http://www.astro.uva.nl/~dominik/Tools/org-mode/ This release rounds off the new properties and column view features by polishing the interfaces and adding a few more details like summaries for columns. Enjoy! - Carsten Changes in Version 5.02 --- * Overview - The interfaces for properties and column view are finished now and work well. - Properties can be summaries, i.e. the parent nodes can compute their value from the children's values. - Headlines finally require a space ofter the star(s). The conflict with bold text at the beginning of the line is no longer there. * Incompatible Changes - Bad news. It looks like it is going to be really hard to make column view work on XEmacs and on Emacs 21. Emacs 22 is currently the only Emacs where this works. If you are using Emacs 21 or XEmacs, you can still use properties, but not column view. * Details - Improvements for properties: + There are interactive commands to insert and delete properties. Read the manual chapter 7 for details. + You can define /allowed values/ for a property. When these are defined, you can change the value of a property with S-left and S-right. And you may use completion when inserting the property. This goes a long way to prevent typos when entering properties. - Improvements for column view. + In column view, you may use the keys S-left/right (and also the keys `n' and `p') to switch from one allowed value to the next. + You can define summaries for columns. For example, parents can contain the sum of all children values of a property, or the parent node can have a check box property that is automatically checked when all children's boxes are checked. + There are interactive commands to add and remove columns, and to change the attributes of a column like the summary type. These additions lead to the exciting fact that the example from [omni outliner] posted by Scott Jaderholm can now be accurately [reproduced by Org-mode]. - The space after the stars is now required in a headline, in order to remove the conflict with bold words at the beginning of a line. So * This is a level 1 headline *this is bold text* - S-up and S-down to navigate plain item lists are now also available in orgstruct-mode. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode

[Orgmode] 5.02 org crashes when editing TODO status in the column view mode
Hi, I just upgraded to 5.02 and enjoyed the column view mode. However, it crashes when I tried to update the TODO status in the column view mode. The emacs version is 22.1 on Windows XP SP2.

[Orgmode] In-buffer bold face in headline levels
I think there is a bug in setting faces for *bold* in headlines. I've tested this in 5.01 and 5.02 * Bold in a headline *does work* at the top level ** But *does not work* at the second level *** It also *does not work* at the third level But *does work* again on all lower levels This is only broken for in-buffer emacs faces. Bold in HTML export works for all headline levels. Dan ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
[Orgmode] Column view questions
PROPERTIES and column view are fantastic! Thanks Carsten. I already have visions of moving my address book into org. I've set my sights on finally learning Elisp by writing a vCard-to-org function (and the reverse). How well does generating column view scale for hundreds of headlines? Have you given any thought to the possibility of exporting column view to HTML? As nice as column view looks in an emacs-buffer, it's not really accessible to others (especially if they don't use emacs/org-mode).

Re: [Orgmode] Makefile fix?
Hello Carsten, Yep, I guess I missed that point... I tried your idea below, but it didn't work on my end. If it works then maybe it is a more robust solution. However, the following code worked for me for emacs and xemacs. Note that it assumes that the EMACS variable is either emacs or xemacs. # Name of your emacs binary EMACS=emacs # Using emacs in batch mode. ifeq ($(EMACS),xemacs) BATCH=$(EMACS) -batch -q -l $(lispdir)/noutline else BATCH=$(EMACS) -batch -q endif Hope this helps. --Miguel On 7/10/07, Carsten Dominik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: You are right, this would be better. However, the same line then would not work for Emacs, so we need something still better.

Oops. lispdir won't expand due to the single quotes. Maybe this will work a little bit better.
