think -- or, in any case, it should use it).

Thus, I try to avoid declaring which language is used in the buffer  
at two
different spots, because we can change one and forget to change the  
other.


Therefore, I would like to keep only one language declaration (the  
one of the

Org template, in this case), and get Emacs follow it.

Does this make sense?

Yes, this is a shortcoming of list cycling which I cannot fix.  
Folding a

If you find it too confusing, turn off `org-cycle-include-plain-

I may just do that as I don't often want to hide list entries  
actually.


I'll do that as well, as I'm always caught when trying to indent

a list item...

But, indeed, this is a very tiny detail.


Well, we could consider changing the defualt value for that

I guess it could make sense, yes.

BTW, having updated that var for me (right now, in my `.emacs'  
file), it's OK
for properly indenting the first list item, but the others don't  
move when

TABbing. Any reason?


Yes.  You might be sitting in a deeply indented list structure, and
changing the indentation of an item that has less indentation
than the item above it would change the structure.

Mind that this is inherently tricky, and it has to be heuristic.
I think there is no really good solution to this in the sense
that it would allow you to re-indent an entire buffer using
TAB just like with a programming language.  Indentation has
syntactic meaning in Org.

I myself am using promotion/demotion commands to change
the indentation of list items, and I have trained myself
to make list items as much as possible with M-RET.

[Orgmode] remote reference

[Karl Eichwalder]

I do not understand how I can reference tables (only the first one?)
in remote files.  The manual says:

Remote references
.

You may also reference constants, fields and ranges from a different
table, either in the current file or even in a different file.  The
syntax is

 remote(NAME-OR-ID,REF)

where NAME can be the name of a table in the current file as set by a
`#+TBLNAME: NAME' line before the table.  It can also be the ID of an
entry, even in a different file, and the reference then refers to the
first table in that entry.  REF is an absolute field or range reference
as described above for example `...@3$3' or `$somename', valid in the
referenced table.



remote(FILENAME,REF) does not seem to work.  All the tutorials I
found are either too basic or too advanced or too general.

My arguments are:

- We have a language specification in the Org template
- That should be used during the export to HTML (DONE)
- That should be used during the export to LaTeX (TODO)
- That should be used for editing the buffer in the right language (TODO/DONE,
  see my proposal)

I'm quite against /mixing language declarations/:
- in the Org template *and*
- in buffer local variables.

Of course, we could imagine the other way around: using the value of
`ispell-local-dictionary' for the 3 objectives (edition in correct language,
correct setting for generated HTML, correct setting for generated LaTeX). It'd
be as good for me.

I would like to add something which we had to learn the hard way when working 
on a platform-independent project with a commandline-interface: the native 
commandline in MS Windows (cmd.exe) can only digest input with significantly 
fewer characters than the usual shells in Linux and Solaris - and then you get 
really strange and unhelpful error messages. The number of characters for 
Windows XP is 8191 characters, for older systems (Windows 2000) it is about 
2000 characters. This was a showstopper-class problem for us (we worked around 
this by putting all previous commandline arguments into an optional parameter 
file), much later we found an official Microsoft article on this: 
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830473/EN-US

For tables in a different file, the remote table must be the first  
table in an outline node, and the outline node must have an ID property.


First configure org-modules and turn on the id module.
Then prepare your target file like this

* here is my table
  :PROPERTIES:
  :ID: DDE64190-0C3D-4088-A303-DA3B60ECEB48
  :END:

   and here we have the table.

   |...|...|...|


The ID can be an arbitrary string, but then you must
make sure yourself that it is globally unique.  Or you
can have Org-mode make the ID for you.

Hope this gets you on the way.

Sorry, I read too quickly, and didn't spot the fact you wanted to reference a

Re: [Orgmode] Re: Update ispell-dictionary to text language

[Torsten Wagner]

Hi Seb,
Hi Carsten,

I guess it depends highly on the definition. I can see Sebastien's points. It 
is somewhat strange to have a header-row "language" which does not have 
anything to do with the way how org-mode (resp. emacs) handels the org-buffer.
And the danger to use two different places + the confusion of two slightly 
different styles may confuse esp. newbies like me.

However, on the other side, it is said that C-c C-e t "insert the *export* 
option template". Which strongly refer to export features.

I guess it would be more clear if there is a #+EXPORT_LANGUAGE tag.
But to change this now is stupid as well. 

So not right sure what to do. 
Maybe leave it to people and offer a flag to say in the org config something 
like 
export_language is equal to ispell_language (maybe working both directions) 

Just two newbie-cents

[Orgmode] Re: refiling

[Richard Riley]

enter does indeed work now - I had reinstalled emacs in debian testing
and the version was way back at 6.21 for some reason. So sorry for that
bum steer. I wonder if it was because I built my own deb from source as
I didnt have that level of version before. I also cleaned up my accrued
org settings (ongoing) and now the ido completion for the refile target
is exceptionally fast too.

I am trying to set up a multi project org system using recursive org
files (find-lisp-find-files) and might still have issues with the "end
node" for refiling - I'm still being offered to complete to actual org
tasks as opposed to just the "level" and I'm not sure if this is a
limitation of the org hierarchical system or my
understanding/setup. I'll post more dumb questions when I've
experimented some more ;)

I knew I should never have stopped using org for a while, but the
building back from scratch is good for a clean out of my org-settings ;)

Re: [Orgmode] remote reference

[Giovanni Ridolfi]

Carsten,  

I cannot reference fields in tables as the manual says. 
Org-mode version 6.34
GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2009-07-30 on SOFT-MJASON

Example:
-
* [2010-01-15 ven] table & reference
** table a
#+TBLNAME: Taba
|   | # |  x | y |
|---+---++---|
|   | 1 | -2 | 4 |
|   | 2 | -1 | 1 |
|   | 3 |  0 | 0 |
|   | 4 |  1 | 1 |
|   | 5 |  2 | 4 |
| ^ |   || a |
** table b
the manual says:  
: remote(NAME-OR-ID,REF)
: REF is an absolute field or range reference
: as described above for example `...@3$3' or `$somename', valid in the
: referenced table.

But I found that as a REF I can only  use: 
+ field  a cell  @5$1=remote(Taba,$a)
+ and *NOT* range reference (as $somename) or 
ranges such as @1$...@5$2, 
  but in the manual is not explicitly said.
  So I could have misunderstoot the meaning of "range".

See the non working examples:
*** variables
#+TBLNAME: Tabb
|   |   |
|---+---|
| ^ | b |
#+TBLFM: $b=remote(Taba,$a)
*** columns  
#+TBLNAME: Tabc
|   |   |
|   |   |
|   |   |
|   |   |
|   |   |
|---+---|
| ^ | b |
#+TBLFM: $2=remote(Taba,$4)

#+TBLNAME: Tabcc
|   |   |
|   |   |
|   |   |
|   |   |
|   |   |
|---+---|
| ^ | b |
#+TBLFM: @1$...@5$2=remote(Taba,$4)
*** ranges: 
#+TBLNAME: Tabr
|   |   |
|   |   |
|   |   |
|   |   |
|   |   |
|---+---|
| ^ | b |
#+TBLFM: @1$...@5$2=remote(Taba,@1$...@5$3)

Is my analysis correct? 
Did I misunderstand the meanong of "range"?
Is the documentation incomplete? 
Is there a bug  and  the documentation is correct?

[Orgmode] clock and WAIT

[Richard Riley]

When I put a task into certain states it would be nice to stop the clock
automatically. It is done for DONE at the moment.

Would it make sense to make

org-clock-out-when-done

a list of state names rather than (or in addition to) a bool?

That way I could make it DONE, WAIT so when I cycle the state to WAIT (eg for
an email confirming something works) the clock is stopped automatically?

Or is there another mechanism for this? Or is the mantra more to keep
stop/start manual until the obvious state for "DONE"?

regards

r.

I use Org to execute every one of my professional projects. Outside of
two files I use for my Agenda and as a Remember target, every project
gets its own file just like that. Most of my projects are fairly short
and get closed up completely and archived.

Another item you may consider is that while you are working, you may
not close anything immediately. Each time I switch tasks in the Org
tree or come back to my computer I insert an inactive timestamp into
my file. Suddenly, it's a timestamped project journal!

You can use C-u C-c . , or I posted a piece of elisp a while back that
binds that to F9.

The view I use is the logbook mode in Agenda.

Given my file is composed of todo's with lots of inactive timestamps
and the occasional logged todo state change there is plenty to view.

Load agenda, and press L for logbook. You can adjust the duration
covered by the view (day/week/month), and by default the inactive
timestamps are not shown. Use '[' to enable the display of the
inactive timestamps.

The output will be very similar to what you're asking for. In fact, it
may be identical. You'll see task by day & time, with status and
duration clocked.

When I have finished a project, I will frequently mail my customer the
project notes exported to HTML and include an html export of the
logbook so they can see what was done when, and to justify the hours.

Good luck!

When refiling an already existing note (using C-c C-w), then RET works.
However, when filing a new note created by org-remember (using C-c C-c),
RET merely prompts me with the possible next-level headings. Pressing
SPACE and then RET files the new note under the first-level heading.

Certainly inserting an (inactive) timestamp in the case as you mentioned is 
necessary (to me). Your code is preferred, of course, if you had time.

Yes, you are correct. Yet I have a few questions. 

1. The agenda view with logbook-mode enabled does not show the deadline for a 
project in some cases. For example, I scheduled a project on Monday January 11, 
and set up its deadline, say, March 20. Thus, the original headline looks like:

* TODO XX
  SCHEDULED: <2010-01-11 Mon> DEADLINE: <2010-03-20 Sat>

The view output, however, does not show the deadline. I guess that the 
logbook-mode wold not show just because the deadline is far away from today, 
and it in principle only shows those happenings. Am I right?

2. Generally creating the agenda view works for all agenda files. So, in case 
that one want to create the view for an org file, is there any efficient way to 
do that? I have not figured out a satisfying method. Do you have any comment on 
this? 

3. As you mentioned below, you export the view to HTML. How do you get this 
done?

I agree with you on this opinion. 
A lot of thanks to Russell.

Not for a list of states but it can be done for at least one state.

Add this to your .emacs, and F9 will insert an inactive timestamp for
"now". C-u C-c . RET is four keystrokes, this is a single. Its a great
shortcut. Forgive the duplication, I think I posted this twice to the
ML in the last six months.

I just checked my agenda in logbook mode, I do see scheduled and
deadline items, but only on *today*. It won't tell you if you met
them.

When I'm working in a project file, I'll call agenda and restrict it
to the current file (C-c a 1 a). I don't typically add a project file
to my main agenda list. This also helps with exporting, a customer
doesn't need to see *my* agenda, just the project items.

http://orgmode.org/manual/Exporting-Agenda-Views.html#Exporting-Agenda-Views

I do not setup export views for C-c a e, I don't do them often
enough. I'll just goto the logbook view, and C-x C-w.

Alternatively I think you can just call M-x htmlize-buffer.

Enjoy!

[Orgmode] Setting up org-ctags and exporting ctags links

[Juan Reyero]

Greetings,

I've just installed org-ctags in my system and it works beautifully.
One note, though, for those of you running on OS-X: you need to setq
org-ctags-path-to-ctags pointing to your ctags executable before
requiring org-ctags, otherwise it fails as it tries to call a
non-existing (operating-system) function.

Also, there was some talk a while ago about exporting the org-ctags
links; Carsten pointed out that a function that returns the target's
filename was required
(http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg20565.html) and
Paul wrote org-ctags-get-filename-for-tag for this purpose.  I wonder,
has anybody used it to actually export HTML with ctags links?  I'd
like my web publishing to take advantage of the great ctags package.

Best,

Juan

Re: [Orgmode] remote reference

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi Giovanni,

ranges are possible in remote references.  However, what
is not allowed it to assign them to a range.  On the left
side of equations you can only have single fields
like @2$3 or a column like $3.

So you might ask what the use of range references then
is?  You can put the ranges into calc functions like
vsum or vmean, or you can get them as lists in an
elisp formula.

Hope this clarifies it a bit

Looks like someone needs to write a tutorial about that! :-)

But I found that as a REF I can only  use:

  ranges such as @1$...@5$2,
but in the manual is not explicitly said.
So I could have misunderstoot the meaning of "range".

See the non working examples:

#+TBLFM: $b=remote(Taba,$a)

Is my analysis correct?
Did I misunderstand the meanong of "range"?
Is the documentation incomplete?
Is there a bug  and  the documentation is correct?

[Orgmode] Bug: org-make-link-string incorrect with URL containing escapes [6.34a]

[Geert Kloosterman]

Emacs  : GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.3)
 of 2009-12-02 on x86-7.fedora.phx.redhat.com
Package: Org-mode version 6.34a

Hi all,

When an org link is created from an URL containing a hex escape
`org-make-link-string' creates a link that ends up corrupted the moment
it is followed (e.g. using `org-open-at-point').

I've traced this back to `org-link-escape' and `org-link-unescape'.  The
following shows how the hex code "%2B" is converted to a "+" after an
escaping round trip:

(org-link-unescape (org-link-escape 
"http://some.host.com/form?&id=blah%2Bblah";))
==> 
"http://some.host.com/form?&id=blah+blah";

In my case this small change ended up in a broken URL.

Additionally, when the URL-escape happens to be in lower case (or
otherwise not present in `org-link-escape-chars') we end up with an
error:

(org-link-unescape (org-link-escape 
"http://some.host.com/form?&id=blah%2bblah";))
==> 
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument characterp nil)
  char-to-string(nil)
  ...

When `org-url-encoding-use-url-hexify' is set to `t' we do get a proper
round trip of the URL containing hex-escapes:

(setq org-url-encoding-use-url-hexify t)
(org-link-unescape (org-link-escape 
"http://some.host.com/form?&id=blah%2bblah";))
==>
"http://some.host.com/form?&id=blah%2bblah";


Setting `org-url-encoding-use-url-hexify' does not fix the complete
problem however: `org-open-at-point' still did not end up with the
proper URL.   Within `org-open-at-point' there is another call to
`org-link-escape':

(org-link-escape path org-link-escape-chars-browser)

This time a mapping table is passed in explicitly (the second argument).
However, when `org-url-encoding-use-url-hexify' is set,a this mapping
table isn't used, resulting (again) in a broken URL.

I have attached a patch that fixes the problem: do not use url-hexify in
`org-link-escape' and `org-link-unescape' when an explicit mapping table
has been specified.  

In summary:
 - the default behaviour of `org-link-escape', with
   `org-url-encoding-use-url-hexify' set to nil, has some issues with
   handling URLS which contain url-encoded hex escapes
 - when a mapping table is passed to `org-link-escape' and
   `org-link-unescape', they should probably not use url-hexify.
   Patch attached. 

Best regards,
Geert Kloosterman

[Orgmode] org-mobile-push and agenda IDs

[Tom Tobin]

I recently upgraded my org-mode, and found that org-mobile-push
started to litter my org files with property drawers.  I finally
figured out how to turn these off (via
org-mobile-force-id-on-agenda-items), but the org-mode manual makes it
sound like they're necessary for the proper operation of MobileOrg
[1].  I have a ton of TODO items on my agenda, and I really don't want
property drawers all over my files (even if they're collapsed to a
single line); is there a better way to handle this in my case?

[1]  "While
creating the agendas, Org-mode will force1 an ID property on all
entries referenced by the agendas, so that these entries can be
uniquely identified if MobileOrg flags them for further action."

Thats a different issue. That determines which state the task is
automatically switched to when you actually remember to clock out.

I'm not sure I would find that useful since there are multiple states I
might be in with and without the clock running and I wouldnt want stopping the
clock to reset the state.

Re: [Orgmode] org-mobile-push and agenda IDs

[Richard Moreland]

Hi Tom,

They are not required, but they eliminate potential problems that may
be encountered with the simple path-based node identification scheme.
The risk level is fairly low, and you should be fine with the force
option disabled.

The path-based id scheme fails if you have this:

* Parent
** A name
*** A node you didn't edit
** A name
*** A node you edited

The path to the node you edited is ambiguous and will cause a sync
conflict.  As long as you keep this in mind, you should be fine.

Hope this helps,
Richard

How about this?

(add-hook 'org-after-todo-state-change-hook

So as long as I don't duplicate names in the same level, I should be
okay?  I don't see myself ever doing that anyway, so that seems
harmless enough.

Aside — there's no way to cycle the visibility of drawers to
*completely* hidden, is there?  I wouldn't mind the property drawers
as much if I could completely ignore their existence during routine
org-mode editing.  :-)

Re: [Orgmode] clock and WAIT

Would it make sense to make

I think that is a useful extension, so it now works like this.

Thanks.

That way I could make it DONE, WAIT so when I cycle the state to  
WAIT (eg for
an email confirming something works) the clock is stopped  
automatically?


Or is there another mechanism for this? Or is the mantra more to keep
stop/start manual until the obvious state for "DONE"?

Re: Bug: [Orgmode] bug in latex export [6.34b]

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi, this is not a bug.  Org-mode treats laTeX environments as  
implicitly literal.

As we have discussed a few days ago here, you can work around it using

#+LaTeX: {}\begin{multicol}[2]

- Carsten

P.S. this is becoming another subject for a FAQ which should cover both
 org-special-blocks.el and the workaround I show above.
 Would anyone like to volunteer writing it?  Thanks.

[Orgmode] Repeating dates on named weekdays

[William Halliburton]

Hello all, please excuse me if this is a FAQ, I can't seem to find any
discussion on it.

How can one enter in repeating dates such as

every third thursday of each month

or

the first and third wendsdays of each month

?

Thank you very much.

Re: [Orgmode] Bug: org-make-link-string incorrect with URL containing escapes [6.34a]

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi Geert,

wow, this was awesome!  This is the best kind of bug report I can  
imagine.

Thank you, your patch has been applied.

of 2009-12-02 on x86-7.fedora.phx.redhat.com
Package: Org-mode version 6.34a

Hi all,

When an org link is created from an URL containing a hex escape
`org-make-link-string' creates a link that ends up corrupted the  
moment

it is followed (e.g. using `org-open-at-point').

I've traced this back to `org-link-escape' and `org-link-unescape'.   
The

following shows how the hex code "%2B" is converted to a "+" after an
escaping round trip:

   (org-link-unescape (org-link-escape "http://some.host.com/form?&id=blah%2Bblah 
"))

   ==>
   "http://some.host.com/form?&id=blah+blah";

In my case this small change ended up in a broken URL.

Additionally, when the URL-escape happens to be in lower case (or
otherwise not present in `org-link-escape-chars') we end up with an
error:

   (org-link-unescape (org-link-escape "http://some.host.com/form?&id=blah%2bblah 
"))

   ==>
   Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument characterp nil)
 char-to-string(nil)
 ...

When `org-url-encoding-use-url-hexify' is set to `t' we do get a  
proper

round trip of the URL containing hex-escapes:

   (setq org-url-encoding-use-url-hexify t)
   (org-link-unescape (org-link-escape "http://some.host.com/form?&id=blah%2bblah 
"))

   ==>
   "http://some.host.com/form?&id=blah%2bblah";


Setting `org-url-encoding-use-url-hexify' does not fix the complete
problem however: `org-open-at-point' still did not end up with the
proper URL.   Within `org-open-at-point' there is another call to
`org-link-escape':

   (org-link-escape path org-link-escape-chars-browser)

This time a mapping table is passed in explicitly (the second  
argument).

However, when `org-url-encoding-use-url-hexify' is set,a this mapping
table isn't used, resulting (again) in a broken URL.

I have attached a patch that fixes the problem: do not use url- 
hexify in
`org-link-escape' and `org-link-unescape' when an explicit mapping  
table

has been specified.

In summary:
- the default behaviour of `org-link-escape', with
  `org-url-encoding-use-url-hexify' set to nil, has some issues with
  handling URLS which contain url-encoded hex escapes
- when a mapping table is passed to `org-link-escape' and
  `org-link-unescape', they should probably not use url-hexify.
  Patch attached.

Best regards,
Geert Kloosterman

[Orgmode] Re: Repeating dates on named weekdays

[William Halliburton]

I've seen that page but I do not believe it covers the type of repetition
that I am interested in.

For instance, if I have an event like

"every third Monday of each month"

my first thought would be

<2010-01-18 Mon +1m>

but that repeats on the February 18,  which is a Thursday.

These type of repetitions are common for organization in this area and I
would like to avoid having to enter in each date separately

Thank you,
Will

I'm by no means the org/emacs expert, but here's what I'd do:

* Meeting on 3d Monday of each month
  <%%(diary-float t 1 3)>

(see
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Sexp-Diary-Entries.html
