[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!

[Orgmode] Footnotes and org-export
First, let me say thank you to Carsten and everyone else for this
wonderful note-taking/PIM/spreadsheet/everything-but-the-kitchen-sink
software. It is one of the best computer tools I've ever used. As an
Emacs neophyte, I remained humbled by the generosity of those with far
superior computer skills.
I am an academic and I use LaTeX footnotes extensively in my writing.
I'd like to be able to write my drafts in org-mode and then export
them both to HTML and LaTeX. The problem is that the emacs footnote
mode is not very robust (being designed for emails with one or two
footnotes). Trying to add more than a handful of footnotes to a
document with footnote.el quickly becomes a nightmare (ordering gets
broken, the count gets messed up, etc.)
And now for the question (which will betray my ignorance about emacs
lisp). How complicated would it be to write a function for org-export
that would transform the LaTeX markup for footnotes (i.e.,
\footnote{text}) into hyperref footnotes? I'd like to be able to enter
the LaTeX footnote markup directly in my org file and then export it
to html.[1]
Or, if this wouldn't work, how complicated would it be to create a
different footnote markup altogether for org-export? One possibility,
I imagine, would be a footnote markup with unique labels for each
footnote, such as:
Here is a sentence with a footnote.[fn:label]
...
[fn id=label] And here is the footnote.
This latter option would allow for the arbitrary placement of
footnotes in html documents.
Thanks for your suggestions!

I've gotten a basic export to Prosper working for a presentation I'm

Unfortunately it doesn't appear that I can add a closure for the
slide, so a manual "\end{slide}" must go at the end of each.
As a hack, until we get around to define a closure: I guess you could
live with a single empty first slide?
Then you can do
("\\end{slide}\n\\begin{slide}{%s}" . "\\end{slide}\n\\begin{slide}
{%s}"))
org-export-latex-classes))
And just put a single \begin{slide} at the beginning and a single
\end{slide} at the end.

Maybe not intended, but the tree commands are using a completely
separate implementation (the sparse-tree engine. You can specify
tree
commands in agenda-custom-commands as shortcuts, but really they have
nothing to do with the agenda engine. And it is that engine which
implements skipping.
Oh, ok, I see :-| This wasn't clear to me from the manual - thanks for
clarification!
Hm. Thou I nearly don't dare to ask: Are there any chances or plans
that
skipping in the sparse-tree will be implemented?
Not likely in the near future. You can do some hacking by using org-
occur and the callback argument, but I think for complex searching the
agenda is where the future likes. I think of sparse trees more like a
quick-look tool.
Anyway, thanks for orgmode :-)
You're welcome.

Re: [Orgmode] Footnotes and org-export
Hi Matthew,
I guess one way to do this would be to write a hook function that,
prior to export, colectes all the footnotes you have produced in your
favorite markup and to put them in the normal ASCII format that Org
can digest.
I am not convinced that this is a good approach. Org ist supposed to
be and ASCII format, easily readable and exportable. To write text
with extensive use of footnotes may well be stretching the envelope of
Org.
Having said this, I have had quite good experiences with Steve L.
Baur's footnote-mode. But maybe I have never used it to the extend
you do? How exactly does it fail? Can you make an example? Or a bug
report to Steve?

[Orgmode] RELEASE: Org-mode 6.08a
Hi
I am releasing Org version 6.08. The biggest news is the integration of
John Wiegley's attachment system that allows to keep a directory with
file
attachments for each entry. Great stuff.
As usually, you can get the release through GIT, or at http://orgmode.org
Enjoy!
- Carsten
Changes in Version 6.08
===
Incompatible changes
The default structure of IDs has changed
IDs created by Org have changed a bit:
- By default, there is no prefix on the ID. There used to be
an "Org" prefix, but I now think this is not necessary.
- IDs use only lower-case letters, no upper-case letters
anymore. The reason for this is that IDs are now also used
as directory names for org-attach, and some systems do not
distinguish upper and lower case in the file system.
- The ID string derived from the current time is now /reversed/
to become an ID. This assures that the first two letters
of the ID change fast, so hat it makes sense to split them
off to create subdirectories to balance load.
- You can now set the `org-id-method' to `uuidgen' on systems
which support it.
C-c C-a no longer calls `show-all'
--
The reason for this is that C-c C-a is now used for the
attachment system. On the rare occasions that this
command is needed, use `M-x show-all', or `C-u C-u C-u TAB'.
Details
===
New attachment system
-
You can now attach files to each node in the outline tree.
This works by creating special directories based on the ID of
an entry, and storing files in these directories. Org can
keep track of changes to the attachments by automatically
committing changes to git. See the manual for more
information.
Thanks to John Wiegley who contributed this fantastic new
concept and wrote org-attach.el to implement it.
New remember template escapes
-
%^{prop}p to insert a property
%k the heading of the item currently being clocked
%K a link to the heading of the item currently being
clocked
Also, when you exit remember with `C-2 C-c C-c', the item
will be filed as a child of the item currently being
clocked. So the idea is, if you are working on something and
think of a new task related to this or a new note to be
added, you can use this to quickly add information to that
task.
Thanks to James TD Smith for a patch to this effect.

how to use it, see the publishing tutorial.
