Carsten,
it all works very well indeed. Exporting to a temporary latex buffer
works in both of these cases:
1. visiting a new buffer, no file attached;
2. after saving the buffer to a file (write-file).
Further, the OP's original problem is definitely not there.
Thanks,
eric

First, on Major Modes: If you edit a particular sort of text (.el - elisp source code or .org - orgmode text files) Emacs uses a so called /Major Mode/ that "tells" Emacs about the common structure of these kind of files and contains helpful functions to edit such a file. You may think of the Major Modes as a collection of functions that define the /structure/ of a particular kind of files (elisp source, c++ source etc.) and the /meaning/ of the structures. The assumption thereby is, that if you edit a file you are editing a special kind or class of a text file -- and that all classes of text files are distinct from each other. So an Orgmode file and an elisp source file are both text files but of distinct classes -- that is: of distinct structure with distinct meaning. Quoting from the section on Major Modes in the Emacs manual[1] , | Emacs provides many alternative major modes, each of which customizes | Emacs for editing text of a particular sort. The major modes are | mutually exclusive, and each buffer has one major mode at any time. ` Having Orgmode's outline functions in all classes of files may seem as a good idea on the first glance but is nothing one could implement /without limiting the functionality of Emacs itself/. Why? Because enabling Orgmode's outline functions for all classes of texts is equal to making Orgmode the superclass of all classes. And this in turn means that every (!) subclass has to take structure and meaning of Orgmode's outline into account, that is: MUST define functions that handle outline functionality -- whether it is useful for this particular subclass or not. In contrast the power of Emacsen lies in having raw text files and hence the /simplest/ form of text files as superclass providing only functions for the "basic stuff" (e.g. character encoding). This gives us the freedom to work on files as we like and need. The only thing a developer of a new Major Mode has to deal with is the smallest possible set of functions, necessary to deal with text files. So even if it is technically possible to make Orgmode's outline functions available in all other modes it would require either to take in account all ways text files are or could be handled in past, present and future (impossible) or to impose harsh limitations (read: break) all existing modes because we would (re)define structure and meaning for all these modes. Second, Orgmode as superclass: On the other hand in certain circumstances it would be extremely useful to enable Orgmode's features for, say, programming or maintaining a configuration file. And thanks to the aforementioned freedom Emacsen give, it is possible to personally use Orgmode as kind of a superclass for /your/ files. There is this incredible piece of software called: Org-babel[2]: , | Org-babel extends the very excellent Org-mode with the ability to | execute source code within Org-mode documents. Org-mode is an Emacs | major mode for doing almost anything with plain text. If you are not | familiar with Org-mode please take a moment to read the Org-mode | homepage before continuing. ` And the introduction[3] deals with your wish, maintaining source code with the help of Orgmode, especially "embedding your Emacs initialization into Org-mode files".[4] Third: > Besides, is there any active mailing list of common Emacs questions?

[Orgmode] [Bug] Slightly wrong org-tag fontification in agenda
Hi all, it seems that org fontifies everything in the agenda following the heading using the org-tag face. Basically, that's ok *unless* you don't use a special background color for tags. Then it looks wrong. Here's a screenshot showing the fontification. <> I'm using a current git version (Org-mode version 6.34trans (release_6.34c.67.g25f76f)). I had a quick look at the code, and it seems the problem is in `org-agenda-align-tags'. BTW: Is it really a good decision to propertize the text algorithmically in the functions building the agenda? I'm not sure, but it might be easier to define some `org-agenda-font-lock-keywords' like it's done for org files, too.

[Orgmode] Problems Setting Drawers in .emacs
Recently I have noticed a problem setting up Drawers. In my .emacs I have:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/src/lisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/src/org-mode/contrib/lisp")
(require 'org-install)
(require 'org-babel-init)
(org-babel-load-file "~/.emacs.d/blacky.org")
In ~/.emacs.d/blacky.el I have:
;; Define some default drawers.
(setq org-drawers (quote ("PROPERTIES" "SETUP")))
However, PROPERTIES and SETUP aren't recognised as drawers in my org
files. They don't close and open using tab and the fontification of them
indicated that org isn't recognising them as drawers.
If I define a drawer in my org file like:
#+DRAWERS: NOTES
this works correctly. Clearly something has got messed up in my setup,
but I can't work out what it might be. have moved the org-drawers
definition near to the top of blacky.el to no effect.
I have also tried deleting my git repo and doing a new checkout.
Before I take the axe to my org configuration and start chopping bits
off to find out where the problem is, can anyone suggest any reason why
this might happen?
Ian.

This doesn't solve the problem directly but putting spaces around the 1 works:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
#+BEGIN_LaTeX
\newcommand{\norm}[ 1 ]{\lVert#1\rVert}
#+END_LaTeX
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
(and also works with the header version).

[Orgmode] Dated appointment reminders
Hi all, Is there any way to get an early warning reminder of an upcoming appointment in my agenda without using the DEADLINE feature? Allow me to elaborate... What I'm after is something very close to the DEADLINE feature, but not quite. With DEADLINE, you have the following behavour (unless there's a way to alter it?): * without a TODO state, you get early reminders in your agenda up until the DEADLINE date, after which you get warnings that the date is past, forever. * with a TODO state item, you get the same thing, except you can turn off the reminders/warnings by setting the state to DONE. So unless you want the DEADLINE'ed date appearing on your agenda forever after the due date, you need a TODO state and you need to set it to DONE. What I'm after is something similar to this behavour, except that I don't want the warnings after the due date is past, even if the TODO state is not DONE. Ideally the TODO state, if there is one, would not be involved at all - it would just be a plain vanilla appointment, with the added feature that I get early warning reminders as the due date approaches, and nothing after. I am currently using the diary for this, and incorporating it into the orgmode agenda. I have entries like this: %%(diary-remind '(diary-date 11 12 t) -14) Mom's birthday. I've been using this system for a while, and it works. But it's not ideal. For example, I haven't figured out how to incorporate a time with the date using this system.

[Orgmode] BUG: org-cycle opens archived subtrees when the archive property is present
Dear org-mode developers, first and foremost thank you for this wonderful tool. I think I hit a bug in org-cycle: If the tree has the ARCHIVE property set and some subtree has the ARCHIVE tag, org-cycle will open the archive subtree as if we were using C-Tab. To reproduce save this minimal org file: #+STARTUP: even * A :PROPERTIES: :ARCHIVE: a :END: ** B:ARCHIVE: Some text and hit TAB when in the * A headline; then the ** B headline contents will be incorrectly shown.

I do, however, not believe that it would be easy to define font lock keywords which can handle the agenda. For example, when an item changes state, its face is changed, to something with depends on where the item comes from and, for example, how close the deadline is. And more stuff like that.

Are you sure you aren't setting org-drawers anywhere else in your

Ok, I think I understand the problem now. I have updated xournal to encode the
filename from its encoding to uft8. that seems to work. See
http://github.com/dmgerman/xournal
For evince, I think I have found a problem in the parsing of the link.
Evince already encodes
the URL, but it does not encode the '/', hence you will get a link like this:
emacsclient
'org-protocol://remember://docview/tmp/00%C3%A1%C3%A9%C3%AD%C3%B3%C3%BA.pdf::1'
the filename is /tmp/00áéíóú.pdf
But emacs incorrectly stops parsing the link after tmp/
By the way, xournal now supports store-link
