[Orgmode] org-beamer: How to get items appear sequentially rather than all at once

[Christian Wittern]

Hello Org-mode users,

I am trying to prepare a presentation with org-mode.  So far, I got it
working by changing the sample file on the website until it looks like I
need it.  However, I did not manage to get the points on a slide to appear
one after the other, they are always there at once.   The problem might be
that I know next to nothing about LateX and the way the org-beamer exporter
works.  I read somewhere that a "\pause" statement after the \item should do
the trick and I can get it do what I want, if I insert it into the LaTeX
source after running the export, but I would like to have it working
directly in one go from my org-mode document.  How do I need to set up the
environment in order to get the points on the slides appear one after the other?

Any help appreciated,

Christian

Basically:

Use a variable to store the (current-window-configuration) and then  
have a
separate function restoring that configuration using set-window- 
configuration.

Re: [Orgmode] Bug: Meta-return on an empty headline breaks the headline instead of leaving it empty

I have found a bug. When the point is at the end of an empty headline
and you press M-RET (or C-RET) to make a new headline, it deletes all
the whitespace at the end of the empty headline first, which causes
the headline to break. I'm not sure if the correct behavior is to
leave an empty headline, or maybe just do nothing and leave the point
at the end of the empty headline without creating a new one, but the
correct thing is definitely *not* to break the headline.

Hi Martin,

This appears to be a bug in org-mode at large, rather than anything
specifically babel related.

notice that the following slight alteration of your new reference  
syntax

works as expected

#+begin_src xml -n -r -l "ref:%s"

  ref:imp

#+end_src

Line no. [[(imp)]] is important!



The docstring of org-coderef-label-format says (please note the final  
paragraph):


  "The default coderef format.
This format string will be used to search for coderef labels in literal
examples (EXAMPLE and SRC blocks).  The format can be overwritten in
an individual literal example with the -f option, like

#+BEGIN_SRC pascal +n -r -l \"((%s))\"
...
#+END_SRC

If you want to use this for HTML export, make sure that the format does
not introduce special font-locking, and avoid the HTML special
characters `<', `>', and `&'.  The reason for this restriction is that
the labels are searched for only after htmlize has done its job."

[Orgmode] [feature request] use relative path in the file set by org-agenda-files

[zwz]

The variable "org-agenda-files" can be a list of file names or a single file 
name. I prefer the latter, since it is much easier to maintain one ordinary 
file without modifying the .emacs.

So in my .emacs I just use:
(setq org-agenda-files (expand-file-name "agenda" org-directory))

However, it seems that only absolute path works in that agenda file, e.g.
-
in /path/to/org-directory/agenda:
/path/to/org-directory/home.org
/path/to/org-directory/lab.org
-
Here I hope that I can use "./home.org" and "./lab.org" instead, so that when 
I copy the "/path/to/org-directory/" to another place, I do not have to modify 
the agenda file at all.

Combining these two posibilities , I wondered myself whether it would
we useful to have a org-mode tree-like "view" of the agenda view , and
other reports. Something like a text generator that bases its output
on agenda output , and renders or re-renders output based on agenda
view. If someone comments on it , I'd be wishful to start hacking it ,
up to my knowledge, which is lispy to some extend (a common-lisp

Re: [Orgmode] Exporting non utf8 org documents

Hi Carsten,

I'm sorry for my very very late reply on this topic, but I'm just

problem with this.

you can remove the code I sent you again, and instead grab the  
latest git

release.

Then you can also do

(setq org-export-latex-inputenc-alist '(("utf8" . "utf8x")))

to get utf8x instead of utf8.


I still get the utf8 encoding even if, as you said, I set this:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
(setq org-export-latex-inputenc-alist '(("utf8" . "utf8x")))
--8<---cut here---end--->8---


So, we get the following code:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
(defun org-export-latex-fix-inputenc ()
 "Set the codingsystem in inputenc to what the buffer is."
 (let* ((cs buffer-file-coding-system)
 (opt (or (ignore-errors (latexenc-coding-system-to-inputenc cs))
  "utf8")))
   (when opt
 ;; Translate if that is requested
 (setq opt (or (cdr (assoc opt org-export-latex-inputenc-alist))  
opt))

 ;; find the \usepackage statement and replace the option
 (goto-char (point-min))
 (while (re-search-forward "usepackage\\[\\(AUTO\\)\\] 
{inputenc}"

nil t)
(goto-char (match-beginning 1))
(delete-region (match-beginning 1) (match-end 1))
(insert opt))
 (and buffer-file-name
   (save-buffer)
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

If I print the opt variable (message opt), I can see that its value is
correctly set to utf8x.

But, the re-search-forward command always fails. In effect, if I  
change the

last argument from t to nil, I get the following error:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
while: Search failed: "usepackage\\[\\(AUTO\\)\\]{inputenc}"
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

I'm using an almost empty Org buffer with no option at all, so it  
generates a

simple article document class.

I would like to give you more input, but I don't know how to better  
debug

this. If you have any idea, please let me know.


Hi Francesco,

Maybe you have customized org-export-latex-classes?  Unfortunately,  
this will

make the changes I make in the default value of the variable disappear.
So you need to do one of two things:

- remove your customizations of that variable

or

- edit your value so that in all entries it says

 \usepackage[AUTO]{inputenc}

  instead of a fixed [utf8] or whatever you have there.

HTH

Thanks a lot,
Francesco

Try inserting active timestamps into your log entries with 

A headline that has one or more active timestamps will appear in the
agenda on those days.

Actually, all that's required for org-atom to load properly for me is to have

(require 'org-exp)
(require 'org-atom)

to ensure that org-export-inbuffer-options-extra is defined!  You may
wish to simply put (require 'org-exp) inside org-atom.el.

Very strange.  This works perfectly fine for me: typing C-c C-c on the
first item, say, checks that box and updates the headline to have
[1/2] on it.  Typing C-c C-c again clears the checkbox.

Hi Detlef,

`ignore-errors' is defined in cl-macs in Emacs 22.  You need to  
compile the .el file
to get this macro.  Alternatively, define it in your .emacs file  
before loading org-mode stuff:



(defmacro ignore-errors (&rest body)
  "Execute BODY; if an error occurs, return nil.
Otherwise, return result of last form in BODY."
  `(condition-case nil (progn ,@body) (error nil)))

[Orgmode] Strange results of special symbol inside brackets in PDF output

[Keith]

Dear all,

Well..., I am just new to both emacs and org-mode and trying to get used 
to it :-)


I noticed something strange and I think it's might be a bug converting 
to tex file. I've been trying to put a special symbol inside a bracket, e.g.


  air temperature (degree Celsius)

and the symbol should look like ^{\circ}C in org file. It works well if 
it is standalone. However, when I put the brackets out of it, say 
(^{\circ}C), the pdf output looks bizarre. I have checked the tex output 
and the converting results from orgmode file are


  ^{\circ}C   -->   $^{\circ}$C
  (^{\circ}C) -->   (^\{\circ}C)

I guess the next questions then have to be: 

1. how have you installed org-mode?  

2. How are you loading it?

3. any extra useful information in the *Messages* buffer?

4. have you tried turning on debug modes (e.g. toggle-debug-on-error)
   to see where things are going wrong?

[Orgmode] [PATCH] Avoid leaving point inside hidden block

[Dan Davison]

If you

1. fold a code block
2. place point at the beginning of the #begin_src line
3. switch to the edit buffer using C-c '
4. exit the edit buffer with C-c '

point will not return to where it started but instead be by the ...,
reflecting the fact that it returned to a buffer position that is not
visible. This patch returns point to the beginning of the begin_src line
when the block is folded. (overlay-querying code borrowed from

[Orgmode] Re: apparently too stupid to use checkboxes

[Detlef Steuer]

Ok, here we go.

I put 
(defmacro ignore-errors (&rest body)
   "Execute BODY; if an error occurs, return nil.
Otherwise, return result of last form in BODY."
   `(condition-case nil (progn ,@body) (error nil)))

in my .emacs as Carsten advised.
This action seems to be a complicated form of do-nothing.
At least my error message remains the same.
(emacs was restarted after adding the macro to .emacs)

I inline my (ugly) .emacs as it stands.
It is unchanged since ages. 
My guess is something goes wrong there.

Hi,

I just read it and you did a great job so far; I will have a closer look
later again, sadly I am very busy right now :(.

Just one suggestion: I think it would be nice to have a "Further
Reading" Subsection at the end of each Section, containing links to the 
org manual pages, tutorials on this topic, FAQ Entries, screencasts,
whatever.

Tutorials are an excellent starting point, but they also great to look
up what you recently learned and are tinkering with. Lets say I read the
tutorial and tried the "Clocking". Then, suddenly, I realize I am not
sure how I can really integrate this feature into a workflow. First
thing I would do is return to my tutorial and reread the section.
If the limited information there [its a tutorial, it is by definition
limited], I would really appreciate a "Further Reading" Section, linking
e.g. to Bernt Hansens excellent infos on his clock usage, like:

* [[http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#Clocking][Bernt Hansens extensive
description Time Clocking: Usage, Customization, Workflow
description.]]
* [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Clocking-work-time.html#Clocking-work-time][The
orgmode Clocking Section]]
* [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/index.php#sec-3.3][Clock
related Links on Worg]]

etc.

OTOH, this seems a bit redundant, given the fact that there is already
org-tutorials on worg. It might be more convenient to only have a link
to the proper sections on worg ...

[Orgmode] [PATCH] Use save-excursion in org-map-dblocks

[Magnus Henoch]

This patch has been sitting in my tree for a while...  It's a fix to
org-map-dblocks, to make it use save-excursion instead of remembering
position values.  I need this since I have a dblock function that
asynchronously updates dblocks from HTTP responses, and some dblocks
ended up getting updated twice or thrice.

[Orgmode] org-mode tutorial questionaire

[Alexander Poslavsky]

Hi!

There is a new tutorial on worg: 
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org4beginners.php. The idea is to write a 
tutorial for somebody who is new to org-mode.

Question for people new to org-mode:
- What did you find especially confusing?
- How did you start out?
- What would you like to see in a beginners tutorial?

For everybody:
-What kind of tutorial would be the most useful? 
-What in your experience people find confusing?

thanks for your time,
alex

Just an idle thought :-

Wouldn't it be great to have tutorial for org-mode  in org-mode.

e.g lesson one is how to complete a TODO - ie complete the tutorial
element which describes how to complete a task 

etc.

Would be pretty neat.

Thanks for taking the time to put this on Worg. I wish I had had such a
concise summary of the various flavors of emacs on different platforms
when I started exploring org-mode.

I was wondering if you could elaborate on the following. Are you
suggesting that new users should never use M-x customize?

,
| The biggest pain, when you just begin with Emacs, is the configuration.
| There is not really a menu for it (you might later hear there is, but
| they are lying, that menu is really there to trap innocent people), you
| need to edit a text-file.
`

A few comments:

1. Some of the "step-by-step" instructions might be a bit easier to
   follow in list format (rather than paragraphs).

2. If I were reading the tutorial for the first time, I might conclude
   that I had to place "#-*- mode: org -*-" at the top of all my org
   files, even after configuring auto-mode-alist.

3. Why C-x b 2.org --> M-x org-mode --> C-x C-s as the recommended
   workflow? Once the configuration file is set up, C-x C-f 2.org will
   bring one right into org-mode.

Thanks again for all the work you've put into this.

Best,
Matt

thanks, just added a bunch of links for further reading. Even if redundant, it 
still might ease the pain of learning.

The "quote(" looks like a leftover of something.  The line should read:

'(org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO" "STARTED" "WAITING" | "DONE")))

Maybe fixing this does the job?

If the (defmacro is not working my guess what be that you are running
some kind of a mixup of probably old byte compiled code and the
current developement version.

Are there any old installations of Org arround?

Re: [Orgmode] using orgmode to send html mail?

[Eric Schulte]

Nice to see this topic has come back to life.

I've been playing with my old org-html-mail.el file, and come up with a
much simpler solution, which takes advantage of the mml message mode
functionality with is used in gnus (and I would imagine in some other
Emacs mail clients, but I can't be sure).

Just call this function and either the active region of your message
buffer or the entire body (if no region is active) will be exported to
html using org-mode, and will be wrapped in the appropriate mml wrapper
to be sent as the appropriate mime type.

So for example this
|1 |  2 | 3 |
|--++---|
| first column | second | third |

will be exported as this





123


first columnsecondthird




The function is provided in the attached file.

[Orgmode] [PATCH] Allow org-agenda-entry-types to trump org-agenda-include-deadlines

[Matt Lundin]

Hi Carsten,

Commit 3a3a1023486111ef4e986de9f22e94ea9c05d890 introduced a new
variable org-agenda-include-deadlines. In the commit,
org-agenda-include-deadlines is set always to override
org-agenda-entry-types (i.e., :deadline is automatically added to the
local org-agenda-entry-types whenever org-agenda-include-deadlines is
t). 

The patch below gives org-agenda-entry-types precedence over
org-agenda-include-deadlines. AFAICT, the patch will not interfere with
the behavior of org-agenda-toggle-deadlines, nor will it affect anyone
who does not explicitly configure org-agenda-entry-types.

Hmm, I see your point, but having a tutorial that is just a bunch of lists 
looks really ugly. Off course if people don't understand it, it's not good 
either. Let's see if more complaints follow on this.

As far as I can see, that is actually what the doc says:

   Save the file (*C-x s*) as 2.org, and you will notice that the
   colors change, syntax highlighting is turned on, and Emacs
   understands you are working in org-mode.

but if it is not clear, let me know what paragraph you are refering to.

Hi Leo,

I could reproduce this, but I don't know if this is really a bug.
(I never heard of protecting spaces with angle brackets.)

You do not have to protect spaces, because the URL is surrounded by the
square brackets. I could only insert angle brackets into a link by
editing it manually; when you edit a link with C-c C-l and enclose the
URL in angle brackets, Org will automatically remove them.

Doesn't seem so, but would be my guess, too.

Funny thing is, I now have two machines with as far as I can tell
identical configurations. 

One works, one doesn't. :-) 

Anyway, thanks a lot to all of you. I'll take the opportunity to 
rebuild .emacs from scratch.

Re: [Orgmode] How to open pdf file links with evince under linux?..

As far as I know, Org uses the system defaults when it does not know how
to open a file, and when the system does not know, Org opens the file in
emacs. Under linux, that system default is the mailcap database, but I
have no idea how to configure that. (It doesn't even appear to exist on
my system.)

But we can tell Org directly what to do with PDF files: take a look at
the variable org-file-apps (M-x customize-variable org-file-apps).

Each entry in this list consists of (selector, action) pairs where the
action tells Org how to open a file, and the selector (in most cases a
regular expression matched against the file name) specifies what kind of
files to open in this way.

Add the following entry:

Extension:  \.pdf\'
Command:evince %s

Links to PDF files should now open in evince.


If you pull the current git version of Org, you could add a second entry:

Extension:  \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
Command:evince %s -p %1

This would allow you to link to a specific page of a PDF like this:
[[file:/path/to/document.pdf::21]]
(Shameless plug for a patch of mine that just got accepted.)


HTH, Jan

Maybe that's a bit opinionated for a tutorial then. I do use M-x

As a general comment on this : I used to hand code all my
customisations. And ran into terrible problems somewhere along the
line. Now anything that has a customise interface, I use that interface
and have had no such problems anymore. The downside of course is that
your customisations are not grouped "logically" with comments -but, for
me anyway, using the customisation interface lends itself to much more
trustworthy code.

[Orgmode] Confusion about TODO tags

[Chao Lu]

Dear all,

Why we need the tag-todo, what's the difference between the tag-todo and if
I define a tag named with TODO?

And is it possible when I change the state of one task to done, it will be
archived automatically?

Besides, how could I modify the behavior of the archive function, since I
found the item
-
*** blabla after archive, will be changed to

* blabla
properties
-
which I do not like so much.

Thanks a lot,

Chao

I only use M-x customize to look what lever I can pull but pointing at
customize for a user who is new to Emacs, Org and, in turn, elisp
seems to me a really good sugestion.  Not just for the user, but maybe
for the authors of the tutorial: You don't have to explain elisp when
talking about customization options.

Thumbs up for this one.  It should be included in

ok, it looks that the general opinion is a lot more positive then I thought. 
I'll change it in the tutorial, and see if other things can be done using M-x 
customize.

Aloha all,

I think Alexander's manual is an excellent start and will be helpful  
to newbies.


To be successful, the manual will have to make many choices for the  
newbie, among them whether or not to use customize.  It will be very  
different from the usual manual, which is designed to expose full  
complexity.


IMHO, the goal of describing a sensible path to productive use of Org- 
mode should be the highest priority.  When there is the urge to say to  
the newbie, "you can do this or that", it should be avoided.  Instead,  
the template should be "do it this way."


I agree with Friedrich that customize has merits (though I don't use  
it).  I like Alexander's vivid language, but agree with Friedrich that  
it doesn't need to be so opinionated in this case.  Perhaps the  
template for these alternate paths might be a footnote "there is  
[[another way][link]] to do this."


All the best,
Tom

Re: [Orgmode] Basic orgmode tutorial

[Russell Adams]

The idea of a tutorial is great, but has anyone considered a
pre-configured out-of-the-box Org customized Emacs distribution?

I've had to help several new users get things like basic agenda, emacs
initialization, and remember templates setup and it seemed very
repetitive.

The Emacs learning curve really holds back Org adoption in that sense,
they can't just open Emacs and use Org immediately as anything other
than an outline editor.

Perhaps just a script to enact default customizations, that the
tutorial could then build upon?

Thanks.

I don't use it much now, either. But when I was learning emacs, it eased
me gently into the wild and woolly world of lists, symbols, cons cells,
and the like. In addition, M-x customize-group [RET] org is a nice way
to browse org-mode's wealth of options and internal documentation. And
Carsten has put a tremendous amount of work into coding all those
exemplary defcustoms in the org*.el files. :)

Sorry if my question was unclear. I'm simply wondering whether we should
recommend a multi-step process to new users (i.e., C-x b to create a new
buffer and then C-x C-s to activate org-mode) when C-x C-f (find-file)
both creates a new buffer and activates org-mode immediately. Of course,
all this is a matter of taste (as is almost everything in emacs)! But I
suspect a new user might find it a bit crufty if org-mode commands don't
work *until* the buffer is first saved. Also, C-x b (switch-to-buffer)
followed by C-x s typically requires you to provide two names (first the
buffer and then the file), whereas C-x C-f does everything at once.

Thanks again for all the work you put into this.

Best,
Matt

You need to set the default overlay argument on the frame (i.e., [<+-]).
This instructs LaTeX to create slides that reveal the items in the frame
one by one.

If you want to enable this behavior for all slides, you can place the
following line before the first heading:

#+beamer: \beamerdefaultoverlayspecification{<+->}

See section 9.6.3 of the beamer manual (Action Specifications) for more
details.

Best,
Matt

I could not find a "tag-todo" anywhere in the manual. Are you referring
to the "tags-todo" search discussed in the documentation for
org-agenda-custom-commands? If so, this search returns all active TODOs
that match a given tag.

I assume you mean:

,

|   :PROPERTIES:
|   :ARCHIVE_TIME: 2010-03-23 Tue 20:10
|   :ARCHIVE_CATEGORY: blaaahhh
|   :END:
`

If you want to avoid the context properties, use the following setting:

(setq org-archive-save-context-info nil)

Matt

[Orgmode] iCalendar export using wrong directory?

[David A. Gershman]

Hello,

My .emacs includes these lines:
 '(org-agenda-files (quote ("projects.org" "calendar.org")))
 '(org-directory "~/")
 '(org-combined-agenda-icalendar-file "~/webdav/org.ics")

~/webdav is used for my MobileOrg staging area also.  In my
'org-directory' are my source .org files including one called
'calendar.org'.  My ~/webdav directory normally also has the 'staged'
version for MobileOrg.  During debugging this problem though, I removed
it from ~/webdav so I have only the source in ~/.

In short, directory state is:

  ~/
 projects.org
 calendar.org
 webdav/
projects.org
checksum.dat
index.org
{no calendar.org}

When I issue 'org-export-icalendar-combine-agenda-files', I get the
following error:

non-existent agenda file calendar.org. [R]emove from list or [A]bort?

This leads me to believe, 'org-export-icalendar-combine-agenda-files' is
using files in the '~/webdav' directory and not my source files for the
export.  Is this how it's supposed to work?? i.e. use the "path"
included in 'org-combined-agenda-icalendar-file'?

Thanks!

You are probably right, leaving out C-x b, will make it just a bit simpler,

I also use customize extensively -- wherever it is available.  I don't
have to worry about the exact syntax of the value of the variable - I
can just use the customize interface and pick what I want and move on to
more productive things.

I used to hand code variables as Richard did but found I wasted a heck
of a lot more time fiddling with the syntax of a variable doing that
instead of just setting it and forgetting it with the customize
interface.  The customize interface that Carsten has put together also
makes it easy to see all of the options for a variable in org-mode.

Some variables need to be set before org-mode is loaded (when using
setq) but as I understand it this isn't the case for customizations.

Regards,
Bernt

PS.

I keep my ~/.emacs -> ~/git/emacs/emacs.el and ~/git/emacs/custom.el
files in a git repository (~/git/emacs) so I can commit changes to these
files and add meaningful comments about the reason for the change in the
commit message.  This lets me easily experiment with changing half a
dozen variables and not worrying about remembering the old values in
case I want to go back.  Git has the information and it's easy to
restore the old values for any point in the git history.  This also lets
me synchronize variable changes to my laptop so my on-the-road org-mode
setup is identical to my workstation.

Re: [Orgmode] Problems with hyperlinked files

Actually, it's right there in section 4.3 of the manual, last
sentence: "if you need to remove ambiguities about the end of the
link, enclose them in angular brackets. "

Thanks, both these methods work -- although I still think it would be
nice if org mode could properly handle angle brackets inside square
ones; the motivation here is that often I just paste in file paths
instead of  using C-c C-l, and then I have to use angle brackets to
deal w/ spaces; if I later want to change it to an annotated link, it
would be nice not to have to strip the angle brackets before wrapping
it in square ones...
