I haven't tried it out, but I think that would be very nice as a

Hi Carsten,

Maybe it does work as expected (although it should probably be
consistent, as you say). What I am looking for is some way to get the
date I was prompted for to use in the timestamp, so I get:

* 2011
** 2011-12 December
*** 2011-12-08 Thursday
 Test
 <2011-12-08 Thursday>

the idea being that I am entering a scheduled event.

I can’t figure a template replacement string (%-something) to make
this work.

Thanks for your help!

A pure elisp implementation would likely be faster, maybe something like
the following would work as an improvement

(defun org-files ()
  "Return a list of the files in the \"~/org/\" directory."
  (directory-files "~/org/" nil ".*.org$"))

(defun collect-links (tag)
  "Collect links in \"~/org/\" including TAG."

(let ((rx (format "^\\* tags.*%s" tag)) ; build a regexp for the given tag
  links); hold collected links
  (dolist (file (org-files)) ; for all files returned by `org-files'
(find-file (expand-file-name file "~/org/"))  ; in this file
(save-excursion
  (goto-char (point-min))   ; go to the beginning of the file
  (while (re-search-forward rx nil t) ; search for matches
(push (org-store-link nil) links ; save a link to the match

Try the `regexp-builder' function in one of your org files to
interactively build up a regexp and see what it matches.

In general the following two functions are very useful for finding
useful functions and documentation.

- describe-function :: used with tab completion to show documentation of
  functions

- elisp-index-search :: to look up documentation on broad elisp topics

[O] Directional quotes in html

[Herbert Sitz]

In my exports to pdf standard double-quote and single-quote (apostrophe)
characters both get translated to corresponding pairs of opening and closing
quotes.  But in export to html both double- and single-quotes seem to be same
in resulting html as they were in the org text, non-paired, non-directional.

What is best way to get directional pairs of open- and close-quotes in html
export?

Hi, Herb,

I keep this in my .emacs:

(setq org-export-html-special-string-regexps
  (cons
   '(" \"\\([^\"]+\\)\"" . " “\\1”")
   org-export-html-special-string-regexps))

There may be a better way to do it altogether, and I'm sure the very 
simple regexp could be improved on (in fact, I'm posting this in the 
hope someone will improve on it), but it mostly works.

Christian

Hi

I've just been bitten by this as well. requiring org-compat manually did 
nothing. My config files have not changed, just pulled latest org-mode, 
did a make clean and make. Suddenly my org-drill sessions don't work.

Christian -- Thanks a lot.  If there's nothing built in to Org to do it then
that looks like a good method.  

Question: Does this work only if quotes both appear on the same line of Org-mode
text?  Or is the regex applied to paragraph as a whole after it's been assembled
as part of export?

It looks like it does only double-quotes; makes me realize single quotes are a
bit harder because they're often used alone as apostrophes.  It seems like even
single-quote pairs could work well if you put beginning-of-word (\<) and
end-of-word (\<) regex anchors in there.  

Beginning-of-word and end-of-word anchors may be appropriate even for the
double-quote search, so maybe something like change below could be improvement.
Take it for what's it's worth, since I don't do emacs regexes.

The directional quotes are processed by LaTeX and org have very little
to do with this.

If one has 

--8<---cut here---start->8---
(setq org-export-with-TeX-macros t)
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

then I believe something like

--8<---cut here---start->8---
\rdquo This is a quoted text \ldquo 
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

will do the trick. FWIW, a dump of quotations section in
org-entities.el.

Oops, that's embarrassing. I never even noticed. I'm not sure why it 
doesn't work -- the regexp /does/ catch multiline quotes.


Anyway, after some experimenting, the following mess seems to work in 
most cases:


#+begin_src
(setq org-export-html-special-string-regexps
  (append
   '(("\\(^\\|[ \"(]\\)'" . "\\1‘")
 ("\\([^ ]\\)'" . "\\1’")
 ("\\(^\\|[ (]\\)\"" . "\\1“")
 ("\"\\([ [:punct:]]\\|$\\)" . "”\\1"))
org-export-html-special-string-regexps))
#+end_src

At least, it should work
- if the opening single or double quotation mark comes at the 
beginning of the line, after a space, or after opening parenthesis,
- or if the opening single quotation mark comes after an opening 
double quotation mark,
- and if the closing double quotation mark comes before a space, 
before punctuation, including a closing parenthesis, or at the end of 
the line.


It will work if you put the period /after/ the closing quotation mark, 
"like this". Typographically, though, you should do it "like this."




It looks like it does only double-quotes; makes me realize single quotes are a
bit harder because they're often used alone as apostrophes.


The above now also handles single quotes, including apostrophes 
between word characters ("it's"). The rule is that any single quote 
that is not an opening quote is turned into a closing quote, which 
works for apostrophes too.


It also handles nested quotes (single quotes within double quotes). 
The following example should illustrate parentheses and nested quotes:


#+begin_example
Philosophy ain't easy ("being" is a surprisingly difficult concept,
but not as hard as "non-being"). Who said: "'Being' is a surprisingly
difficult concept, but not as hard as 'non-being'"?
#+end_example


It seems like even
single-quote pairs could work well if you put beginning-of-word (\<) and
end-of-word (\<) regex anchors in there.


I've experimented with those anchors, but ended up doing without them; 
punctuation mixes with quotation marks in odd ways.

[O] babel: tblname not being expanded into function/var

[Nathan Neff]

Hello,

I've been tinkering with different operating systems lately, and
the past couple of times I've tried to install my org-mode setup,
I receive this error:

>Symbol's value as variable is void: shortcut-definition list

My init.el loads org-mode-config.org using org-babel, like this:
(require 'org-install)
(org-babel-load-file "~/.emacs.d/org-mode-config.org")

Here's the relevant section of my org-mode-config.org file:

#+TBLNAME: shortcut-definition-list
| Blog   |  b| blog |
| Customer 1 |  m| customer1|

#+srcname: map-nav(shortcut-definition-list=shortcut-definition-list)
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(require 'cl)
(defun map-navigation-shortcuts(shortcut-def)
(global-set-key (read-kbd-macro (nth 1 shortcut-def))
 (lexical-let ((shortcut-def shortcut-def))
   (lambda ()
 (interactive)
 (org-id-goto (nth 2 shortcut-def))
(mapcar #'map-navigation-shortcuts shortcut-definition-list)
#+end_src

-- end snippets ---
I've found that the babel-generated "org-mode-config.el" does *not* contain
a variable called "shortcut-definition-list" on my new OS (Arch
Linux).  On my Mac,
the org-mode-config.el *does* contain a variable called
"shortcut-definition-list".

On my new OS, I'm using Emacs version 23.3.1 and org-mode version 7.7 (latest).
I've run make clean && make && sudo make install in my src/org
directory, so I'm pretty
sure I'm using the right code.

I had this same problem when I ran Ubuntu 11.11, and I was pulling my
hair out trying to
get this problem fixed, and it suddenly went away!  This indicates to
me that it could be a
transient problem like having some temp files laying around or
something like that.

Any advice or help is appreciated!!

Thanks,
--Nate
