- I want to show (in Beamer slides) how to write an Org table.

- I first need to add Org as a language to the listings settings -- that's the
  purpose of the above =BEAMER_HEADER_EXTRA= lines.

- I then write an Org source block, which is exported to LaTeX... but not
  fully... The line =#+ATTR_LaTeX: align=rrl= disappears from the exported code!

- See ECM.

* ECM

Here's a "simple" but already powerful Org table:

#+begin_src org :exports code
,#+ATTR_LaTeX: align=rrl
,| Janvier | 1300 | \EUR |

,#+TBLFM: @3$2=vsum(@1..@2)

I can't get it properly exported to LaTeX, because the line =ATTR_LaTeX= is
*removed from the published code block* (compare the Org source of the code
block with what's shown in the PDF).

[O] python/babel inline images

[henry atting]

Hi,

I do not succeed in generating an inline image as a result of a
python code block. The code itself works, C-c C-c generates the
according picture, but only in my home directory. The code block:

-*- org-babel-python-command: "python3" -*-
#+begin_src python
import csv
import matplotlib.pyplot as plot
x = []
y = []
csv_reader = csv.reader(open('csv_data.csv'))
for line in csv_reader:
x.append(int(line[0]))
y.append(float(line[1]))
plot.plot(x, y, label=r'exp', color='green')
plot.legend(loc='lower right')
plot.savefig("exp_csv.svg")
#+end_src

It tried different combinations of `:exports results', `:results
file', `:file filename'

Actually, it's not the @ expressions as such that cause the problems,
it's the spaces you are trying to introduce within them, causing the org
parser to terminate the alignment term too soon.  Two solutions below.

I know this isn't pretty but you could use

  #+ATTR_LaTeX: align=r@{\hspace{1em}:\hspace{1em}}r@{\hspace{1em}}l

changing the 1em to whatever amount of space you actually want; probably
1ex is more likely...

The following also works but although it looks simpler here (in an
email), I don't like how Org hides the ~s in the first column
specification as it (incorrectly) interprets them as a verbatim style.

  #+ATTR_LaTeX: align=r@{~:~}r@{~}l

[O] Use [org-latex] or [org-e-latex] for exporter problems

[Jambunathan K]

Please use [org-latex] or [org-e-latex] while reporting exporter
problems.  Likewise for other exporters.

If you are exporting with old exporter, export once with the new
exporter also, just for the fun of it.  More importantly report problems
or inconsistencies.  This will immensely help to improve the current
backends and associated infrastructure.

I had tried backslashing the space, but that did not help. Your examples do
help working around the problem.

Could you not just follow the block with a hand-written link to the
output file?  Then, when it becomes available toggle "C-c C-x C-v" (once
or twice) or "M-x org-display-inline-images" once.

Maybe also rewrite the Python to place the output SVG in a directory
associated with your ORG file so that link can be relative.  I simply
use an env. var. to locate where my plots should output.

I'm an org-newbie so maybe there are better ways.

[O] Variable naming (old vs new exporter)

[Sebastien Vauban]

Hello,

A quick question about the future of the exporters:

when the new exporter will be (more) integrated into Org,

- will the old ones be removed?

- will the packages be renamed?

- will the variables be renamed (for example, from
  `org-e-html-preamble-format' to `org-html-preamble-format')?

Just to know whether we have to duplicate variables during this transition
period (if we want to use both with the same outputs) or not.

Re: [O] Bug: org-capture Does not take user to any new buffer

[Mike Fitzgerald]

Took the suggestion to run edebug.
A couple of observations:

1) CAPTURE-journal buffer opens around line 485 but is is killed shortly
after
without the user (me) doing anything (just spacebar to step thru the code)

 (if (and (buffer-base-buffer (current-buffer))
  (string-match "\\`CAPTURE-" (buffer-name)))
 (kill-buffer (current-buffer))) ;killed here

2) Then later
The defen stops around line 491 of org-capture.el
 (error "Capture template `%s': %s"
(org-capture-get :key)
(nth 1 error

Any insight?

Thanks

I'm not python expert, but the code block should be run in your current
directory, e.g., the following outputs the current working path expected
for me.

#+begin_src sh
  pwd
#+end_src

If you want to explicitly pass the current directory to your code block
as an argument, you could try something like the following

#+begin_src python :var mydir=(file-name-directory (buffer-file-name))
  return mydir
#+end_src

Hope this helps,

Re: [O] Difficulty of using Org mode

There is no point comparing markdown with org mode, and the answer
will be definitely this: org mode can beat markdown almost everywhere;
they are not even comparable. The point is that markdown was not
designed to provide new features; it was designed to be simple so it
intentionally discarded lots of features and people can learn it
quickly. I have tried a few times to learn org mode, and it is just

[O] org-mobile-push: copying read-only files

[Stephen Eglen]

If I have an org mode file that is read-only (e.g. because I've checked
it in to RCS) in my org-agenda, when I do M-x org-mobile-push (from my
desktop machine to dropbox) the 2nd time I get a permission denied error
from (org-mobile-copy-agenda-files) -- this is because there is already
a read-only copy in the Dropbox folder.  FOr now I'm deleting the
read-only files in Dropbox and restarting, but anyone else got a better
solution?

[O] MobileOrg for Android question about calendar integration

Hi,
I love the new MobileOrg Android app, especially the Calendar
integration.  

A quick question: if I sync on the android app, I see new org agenda
items in the phone's Calendar.  Do those items sync back from my phone
to appear also on the web at google.com/calendar?   For now, my
org-generated items are on the phone, but not the web application.

Thanks, Stephen

Can you please do M-x toggle-debug-on-error and run it? I hope that that
will generate a backtrace: if so, please post it here.

Are you installing org from the git repository or is this a bundled
version?  Please do C-u M-x org-version RET when you are composing mail,
so that the version will be incorporated into the mail message.

If you are installing from git, it might be worth it to just clean up
everything and try again from scratch, noting any problems that
arise. This might be quicker and easier than debugging a broken install.

Re: [O] Bug: org-capture Does not take user to any new buffer

[Mike Fitzgerald]

Org-mode version 7.8.11

Downloaded a zip file, not a GIT user.

Backtrace from a non-edebug run attached.

That's probably not enough: the above code is inside a condition-case, and
the documentation of condition-case says

,
| ...  If the special
| condition name `debug' is present in this list, it allows another
| condition in the list to run the debugger if `debug-on-error' and the
| other usual mechanisms says it should (otherwise, `condition-case'
| suppresses the debugger).
`

So you might have to modify org-capture.el slightly to actually get a
backtrace:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
  ...
  (condition-case error
  (org-capture-place-template)
;;; add debug to the list temporarily
((error quit debug)
 (if (and (buffer-base-buffer (current-buffer))
  (string-match "\\`CAPTURE-" (buffer-name)))
 (kill-buffer (current-buffer)))
 (set-window-configuration (org-capture-get :return-to-wconf))
 (error "Capture template `%s': %s"
(org-capture-get :key)
(nth 1 error
  ...
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

Yup - not useful: the condition-case has stripped all useful information.
You will need to modify org-capture.el as described in my previous message
and try again.

[I hope Achim Gratz takes a look at this: he would have a much better
handle on what exactly is going wrong here - in particular, emacs on
windows is a black box to me]

org-called-interactively-p is in org-macs.el - it's probably the case
that your autoloads are not up to date (or perhaps non-existent). Can
you tell us exactly what zip file you got and how you installed it?

In any case, try

(load-library "org-macs")

and then try the capture again: it probably will work this time (or
you'll get a different error). This is not meant either as a solution or
as a workaround: it is just meant to provide a data point about what is
wrong and what exactly you need to do to restore sanity, so there is
some ways to go yet.

Re: [O] Bug: org-capture Does not take user to any new buffer

[Mike Fitzgerald]

*Setup*
-I performed my org-mode update by downloading org-7.8.11.zip
Then extracting using something like
   rt click, "extract here"

I also ran a defun that I found on wiki pages with the subject
"Compiling without make"

(defun my/compile-org(&optional directory)
  "Compile all *.el files that come with org-mode."
  (interactive)


*RUN Result*
Without restarting Emacs I run
m-: (load-library "org-macs")
followed by org-capture
Result:
-Behavior was exactly the same bug we have been discussing (did not change).

Here is the backtrace.

Thanks

Mike

Thanks for the flowers, but I don't think I've got any more clues than
you on the issue.

The OP said he's been byte-compiling org by hand.  He's on 23.3, which
(IIRC) means that the base org that comes with Emacs is a 6.36 or so
version.  AFAIR, org-called-interactively-p got implemented as a
compatibility macro some time after that release.  So my best guess is
that there's a mismatch between the autoloads that come with Emacs (no
org-called-interactively-p for instance) and his installation.  If so,
things should start to work if he simply loads _all_ files in the org
directory (org-reload isn't enough if a feature had never been loaded
before).

It would probably be easiest to just install a working make on his
machine and build org with that.  If that's a no-go, make sure
lisp/org-install.el does not exist already, enter the following into the
*Scratch* buffer (adjust the path to the org directory)

(let ((generated-autoload-file "/path/to/org-mode/lisp/org-install.el"))
  (update-directory-autoloads "/path/to/org-mode/lisp"))

and then execute that (C-j or C-x C-e with the cursor after the last
paren).

Achim.

Clean up all the .elc files and don't do that: try to run without
compiling. I suspect (without any evidence to back up my suspicion) that
this is a half-assed step that messes up the install somehow.

What does C-h f org-called-interactively-p RET say?

I'm worried about the fact that org-called-interactively-p is a macro and that
the compilation you are doing is not quite kosher and somehow interacts badly
with the macro-ness.

I've now downloaded the zip file from

   http://orgmode.org/org-7.8.11.zip,

unpacked it in ~/.emacs.d and started an emacs with a minimal init file:
 
 emacs -q -l ~/src/minimal.emacs/minimal.org.el

where minimal.org.el contains:

--8<---cut here---start->8---

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\|txt\\)$" . org-mode))

(setq org-fontify-emphasized-text nil)
(require 'org-install)

(setq debug-on-error t)
(setq debug-on-quit t)
(setq eval-expression-print-length nil)
(setq eval-expression-print-level nil)

(global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
(global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)

(require 'org-capture)

(setq org-capture-templates

  '(("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline "~/org/gtd.org" "Tasks")

("j" "Journal" entry (file+datetree "~/org/journal.org")
 "* %?\nEntered on %U\n  %i\n  %a")))
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

I did *not* byte-compile anything and capture works with no problems.

IMO the reason many have this problem because they think "I need to know
everything Org-mode can do" or "I want to customise Org-mode" from the
very beginning.

The way I went about it was to get an overview of the capabilities from
Worg and start using only the features I needed (in my case note taking
and export). As I became more familiar, I delved into other features
(like agenda, babel) and customisation of the already familiar features
(e.g. custom export hooks, personalised colour theme etc).

Idea: Maybe this could be a nice entry on the FAQ, "Where do I start?".
Maybe even a dedicated page on the Worg Index page. Any volunteers?

Found it.  It's on Worg:

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html

One of the more obvious problems is that it seems to compile the
autoloads file: that's a no-no.  The current master branch and hopefully
Org itself starting from the 7.9 release have UTILITIES/org-fixup.el,
which has (org-make-autoloads-compile) and other assorted functions that
can be used to do what make would otherwise be doing (make really calls
the lower level functions already).

[O] GSoC -- org-sync

[Aurélien Aptel]

Hi all,

Since I've reached a usable point in my Google Summer of Code project
Org-sync, I'm posting to the ML to show my progress and to get some
feedback.

For those who don't know or don't remember, Org-sync is a tool to
synchronize parts of your document with external services in a generic
way. Each service is implemented is a backend of org-sync and
implements a common interface. The project focuses on online
bugtracking tools such as Github issues or Bugzilla. More background
info on worg at [1] and [2].

I've focused on Github as my first backend. Not all aspects of the
org-sync lib has been factored out and the interface is a bit blurry
(what belongs to org-sync? what belongs to the backend?). It will be
clearer once I implement a second backend.

Currently, the Github backend is usable. To try it:

1. You will need a recent copy of org-element.el, Nicolas Goaziou's
   new org-mode parser. If you don't have it, you can just download
   contrib/lisp/org-element.el [3] from the org-mode repo, visit it in
   emacs and run M-x eval-buffer.

2. Org-sync, of course. Currently there's only one file, you can just
   download it from the tag v0.1 changeset [4], visit it in emacs and
   run M-x eval-buffer.

3. Open an org-document, or a new buffer in org-mode

4. Run M-x os-import RET github.com/octocat/Hello-World RET to import
   issues from Github test repo.

5. You can delete some entries and run M-x os-sync to download them
   again.

If you want to try the local-to-remote sync you'll need your own test repo.

1. Set the variable os-github-auth. For this you can run:

M-: RET (setq os-github-auth (cons "login" "passwd")) RET

2. Run M-x os-import RET /url/to/your/repo RET

3. Modify some entries and run M-x os-sync. Currently, there's no "success"
   message so you'll have to check online to make sure it worked.

That's all for the basic tutorial. You can find more at [2].

Known issues:

- Some field can't be synched.
- Updating tags or assignee doesn't work if it doesn't exists.
- The description is imported in Markdown syntax.
- Non-ascii chars are sent properly but are not fetched properly.
- The way logins are stored is simple for now but it will be
  enhanced later on.
- I sometime get a message like this few minutes after synching:
  "gnutls.c: [0] (Emacs) fatal error: The TLS connection was
  non-properly terminated." It has to do with https, ssl and url.el
  but other than that, I have no idea.
- There is not much error checking.

Yes.  Forget about the byte-compilation for a moment, it is really a red
herring... it works for you because you are running it with Emacs 24
(which does have an autoload for org-called-interactively-p already).
The thing that is missing for the OP is an autoloads file that matches
to the version of Org he's using.

Re: [O] alignment of description list in Org and export old and new

Thank you for showing my example as a list-table. The ODT export you
attached looks exactly how I imagined, with "same line" and "aligned".
For me the most important is how the Org buffer looks like and for
many cases I prefer something that has term and description on the
same line also in the Org buffer. Most associations in most of my
lists of associations have term and description short. Since they have
to be on their own line when put into a list-tables they then take
almost double the number of lines in my Org buffers.

For some years now I have been hacking associations this way:

  | cmd -o  | short term + short descr|
  | cmd --log-level=err | long term + short descr |
  | \ -o  | |
  | cmd --create| short term + long descr bla bla bla bla |
  | | \ bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla   |
  | cmd --log-level=dbg | short term + long descr bla bla bla bla |
  | | \ bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla   |

So far I could put up with some other disadvantages: It takes an extra
effort to edit the wrapping texts despite the help of M-RET
(org-table-wrap-region) and the manually added syntactic sugar "\" to
help in reading. And it is not well suited for export. Of course I
could narrow the table to get also the longer terms and descriptions
into a single cell but then I don't like the cells truncated in the
Org buffer and in the plain text Org file these rows become long and
misaligned.

Since the Org description list is perfect for that as long as only two
columns are needed, I prefer to follow this path, also to be better
prepared for optional export to various formats. I would "just" like
to have more alignment for description list in the Org buffer itself.

For this alignment with M-q (fill-paragraph) and C-c C-c on
description list I suggest a formatting cookie, similar to Org table
where "<19>" on any row narrows the column:
- when any item contains only "<>": align all descriptions to the
  widest term of the list
- when any item contains only "<19>": align all descriptions as if the
  widest term would be 19 wide, if necessary start the description on
  the next line to not hide the rest of a longer term
- when none of the items matches "^<[0-9]*>$": rearrange whitespace
  like now, which means without aligning

Example description lists for the three variants:

  - <>
  - cmd -o :: short term + short descr
  - cmd --log-level=err -o   :: long term + short descr
  - cmd --create   :: short term + long descr bla
  bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
  bla bla bla bla bla
  - cmd --log-level=dbg:: short term + long descr bla
  bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
  bla bla bla bla bla

  - <19>
  - cmd -o  :: short term + short descr
  - cmd --log-level=err -o  
:: long term + short descr
  - cmd --create:: short term + long descr bla bla bla bla bla
   bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
  - cmd --log-level=dbg :: short term + long descr bla bla bla bla bla
   bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla

  - cmd -o :: short term + short descr
  - cmd --log-level=err -o   :: long term + short descr
  - cmd --create :: short term + long descr bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
  - cmd --log-level=dbg :: short term + long descr bla bla bla bla bla
   bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla

Similar to Org table, an item with only this formatting cookie would
be removed automatically when exporting.

The right border of the descriptions still is always according to the
buffer local variable fill-column.

[O] Updating info files

[Mike Fitzgerald]

Windows 7, EMACS 23.4

I tried this in my .emacs to update info files

;; Info directory
(add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list
 (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/org-7.8.11/doc)"))

As recommended here.
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html

C-h i still brings up the old info files.

files are there:

org.pdf
rg.texi
rgcard.pdf
rgcard.tex
rgcard_letter.pdf
rgguide.pdf
rgguide.texi

Any suggestions?

Thanks

The paren after "doc" is spurious: try deleting it. I'll check the FAQ

The "no org-version.el" case  looks wrong with the unbalanced paren:

,

[O] Taskjuggler and installation

[Simon Thum]

Hi all,

I am using org-mode's taskjuggler export on two machines (win7 standard 
emacs 23.3/linux emacs 23.4.2) with 99% identical configuartion. Except 
for one funny thing:


Taskjuggler export raises an undefined function on windows. Yes, I do 
require 'org-install, org-mode from identical sources (git-sync'ed). 
Linux is fine.


I am fixing this by adding a require 'org-taskjuggler, but that can't 
really be it. Any advice how to track this down?


Thanks in advance,

Simon

I agree with this sentiment wholeheartedly. My default “project” org-capture 
template has a sub task for defining the project. You could setup your template 
in whatever way works for you. 

I used to use a version of the GTD Natural Planning model with bullets for 
Purpose, Principles, Vision, Outcome, etc. I have since simplified to a MadLibs 
user story format: 
http://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/blog/advantages-of-the-as-a-user-i-want-user-story-template

If I know the broad outlines of project at the time of capture, I fill it all 
in with the capture template. If I do not yet have the project fully thought 
out, I add a TODO keyword to the “Project Definition” subheading. Depending on 
the project I add scheduled and/or deadline dates to the project itself and/or 
the Project Definition TODO. The relevant snippet from my org-capture is:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-capture-templates (quote (
("P" "project" entry (file "~/Documents/OrgMaster/org/refile.org") "* 
%?   :Project_Backlog: \n  %U\n** Project Definition\n- Summary\n  + As 
, I want  so \n- Completion Criteria (Don't do too 
much)\n  + \n" :clock-in t :clock-resume t)
)))
#+end_src

Since I have clocking as part of my capture template, I also record the time I 
spend writing the project requirements against the project -- when I refile the 
project that time moves with the refile to be charged against the broader 
desired outcome. I get quite a bit of quantified self information this way :)

[O] [babel] Why #+name: is not a member of params?

[Mikhail Titov]

Hello!

I’d like to insert a comment into tangle output with a block name. I thought I 
could easily access it (like from org-babel-expand-body:XXX function) with

(cdr (assq :name params))

But apparently it does not work. When I do C-c C-v C-v trying to expand body, I 
get nil as it is not there.

Did I miss something?

I want that so each block appears in individual Matlab code cell [1].

I guess if it's a paths' problem, the python equivalent would be os.getcwd(),
from the os module, and a solution to have the picture in the right place
could be os.chdir(path) (or maybe plot.savefig can take a full path as an
argument), but I think the OP (and I'm very interested too) wants org-babel to
manage the python output somehow to inline the image automatically.

I don't see that possible, because I don't think the "results" of plot.savefig
is the value of the image, but rather an i/o operation somehow (and I may well
be wrong) (and nothing goes to stdout). But maybe to output a link could do ?

#+begin_src python :results output file
  <>
  path = "exp_csv.svg"
  plot.savefig(path)
  print path
#+end_src

Hi Mikhail,

The code block name is not a member of params.  Params only holds header
arguments, not other meta data like the name.  The code block name is
stored in the `info' list which is active while the code block is being
processed, so you could access it with something like the following,
although which is relying on an implementation detail that is not part
of the formal spec (i.e., cheating) and could change.

#+name: foo
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (nth 4 info)
#+end_src

#+RESULTS: foo
: foo

Best,

[O] Preprocessing on export

I've noticed some inconsistency between various languages in this aspect.
For instance, ob-R starts session in proper working directory, while all
looks like everything (?) else does not.

Should not it be somewhat standardized? I think it make sense to always cd

Re: [O] MobileOrg for Android question about calendar integration

[Matthew Jones]

Hey Stephen, glad you like the app!

As long as that calendar is set to sync then it will pull them into the web
based Google Calendar service.  The way that I made sure this would happen
is to create the calendar from the web interface and then make sure that is
synced to the phone... then go into the MobileOrg settings a select that
calendar specifically.  It all works like a champ... let me know if you
have any issues with it.

Re: [O] Smart Quotes Exporting

[Mark E. Shoulson]

Update on the smart-quotes patch.  Supports the odt exporter now too, 
which I think covers all the current major "new" exporters for which it 
is relevant (adding smart quotes to ASCII export is a contradiction in 
terms; should it be in the "publish" exporter?  It didn't look like it 
to me).


Added an options keyword, '"' (that is, the double-quote mark) to select 
smart quotes on/off, and a defcustom for customizing your default.  Set 
the default default [sic] to nil, though actually it might be reasonable 
to set it to t.  Slight touch-up to the regexps since last time, but 
they will definitely be subject to a lot of fine-tuning as more special 
cases are found that break them and ways to fix it are found (the 
close-quote still breaks on one of "/a/." or "/a./")


It's pretty good on the whole, though, usually guesses right.  I know 
there's some work being done on the odt exporter; hope this fits in well 
with it.


How does it look to you?

[O] plain text best practice?

[scrawler]

howdy guys,

I want to use org-mode for writing documents that don't necessarily
have very many headings or sub-headings.

I could do:

* Chapter One
 lots of text
* Chapter Two
lots more text

or:

* Chapter One
  - lots of text
* Chapter Two
  - lots more text

or:

* Chapter One
** paragraph 1
   lots of text
** paragraph 2
   lots of text
* Chapter Two

...but I'm not sure which to use. It almost seems like the last format
is the best, but I don't want to type paragraph headings. Maybe the
first few words of the paragraph could be a heading after the fact, but
not as I write.

Apologies for such a basic question, but I how can I leverage org-mode
to just write? What do you do?

thanks

These are lists (info "(org)Plain lists").  I do not think you want

This is exactly what org-indent-mode is for.  Check

Re: [O] plain text best practice?

[William LÉCHELLE]

I'd go the first way if you don't need/use much markup, but if you want to
structure more deeply your document, you can have subheadings without actually
giving them a title (just the stars and a blank space are enough for a heading)

It's also a matter of what you want to do with the document, if you plan to
export it, the subheadings will change the result in ways you may like or 
dislike.

(You don't seem to have any usage of lists, so simply don't go for them.)

Use the first form. If you feel that the chapter needs to be split up,
use second level headings to split it up into sections. If a section
gets too big, use third-level headings for subsections. And so on...

Org-mode is not buying you much in this case: you can navigate easily
between chapters and you can hide the contents of all the other chapters
while leaving exposed the one you are working on. But it doesn't cost
anything either. And if you ever decide to publish the thing (on paper,
as a PDF on the web, as HTML on the web, etc.), you will be able to
trivially do it. So just write and don't sweat it too much.

Is there anything wrong with this approach? I've used Org for novel
translations, and do it just like this. If there are no logical
divisions within chapters you probably don't want additional markup, it
will just get in the way.

If navigation is the problem, getting accustomed to keybindings like C-c
C-n, C-c C-p, and C-c C-u can be very helpful. Also look at the
docstring for `org-cycle', and you might consider binding a few
outline-mode commands (like `hide-other') to your own keys, to help keep
navigation and visibility under control.

Keep it simple!
