[O] Invalid function: with-parsed-tramp-file-name with Perl
Hi, When I try to run a Perl script remotely via ":dir", I get the following error: ,- | org-babel-local-file-name: Invalid function: with-parsed-tramp-file-name `- However, using the same remote host I can successfully run both R and bash scripts. There was a thread couple of years ago where this function cropped up: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2010-09/msg01712.html but there seemed to be no real resolution and it occurred with version 7.01trans and a bleeding edge emacs 24. I am using Org 7.8.11 with Emacs 23.2.1. Any ideas? Loris
[O] [BUG] Export of sub- and superscripts to LaTeX inconsistent in tables?
Hello!
When I use superscripts/subscripts in tables, they are incorrectly
exported to LaTeX -- the placement of math-mode marks ($), braces ({,
}) seems mixed up.
As an example an excerpt of my current laboratory book.
| Calculation | Zn layers | E_tot [eV/atom] (new) |
(interpolated) | \Delta{}E_tot [meV/atom] |
|-+---+--++---|
[...]
The energy difference \Delta{}E_tot seems [...]
This gets exported as:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
Calculation & Zn layers & E_tot [eV/atom] (new) & (interpolated) & \D\
elta\{}E_tot [meV/atom] \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
The energy difference $\Delta${}E$_{\mathrm{tot}}$ seems [\ldots{}]
Outside the table it works as expected.
You can see 3 errors in the export of "\Delta{}E_tot" to latex in the table:
1. There are no $ marks. During PDF-Conversion this causes
"! Extra }, or forgotten $" messages.
2. The braces around the subscript are missing -- only the first
character thus is
recognized as a subscript by (pdf)latex.
3. For some reason, the opening brace after Delta is escaped.
The problem doesn't depend on the specific case of a LaTeX entity
before the subscript (i.e. \Delta{}). It occurs too throughout the
document for combinations like "E_gb", though of course the escaped
brace ( \{} ) doesn't occur there.
When explicitly writing "E_{tot}" in the table, this was exported as
"E_\{tot\}", which is just as unexpected.
I tested this with a freshly pulled version from the git repository
and with the org-mode sample above as the contents of a minimal file
with the same result.

I think you'll be happier with the new exporter: it does this correctly
I think, and if you find other problems, I'm sure Nicolas will be happy
to fix them.
At the risk of putting words into Bastien's mouth, I would say that at
this point, the old latex exporter should probably be considered
unmaintained: nobody is putting much time into it.
To use the new exporter, see a post of mine from a couple of days ago:

I hope that, one day, they will replace current `org-metaup' and
`org-metadown'.
If you want to try them out (there has been no serious debugging for
them), you can
(defalias 'org-metaup 'org-element-drag-backward)
`org-element-drag-backward' is a strict super-set for `org-metaup'.

Thanks for this example, and for feedback from other Org users.
Although more logical, it appears that the block syntax for Beamer
wouldn't be that great. Nested blocks are hard to parse (by a human)
due to their uniform fontification (contrary to headlines, whose
fontification change at every level).
Also, the syntax is very heavy. Not more than property drawers, but, at
least, you can hide those.
I'll keep headlines for blocks. But I think I'll introduce a couple of
small changes.
- Sectioning and packages are extracted from `org-e-latex-classes'.
Since calling Beamer back-end is explicit, it can be applied on any
tex file, not only when that file starts with
"\documentclass{beamer}". Additionally, an equivalent to
`org-beamer-use-parts' is unnecessary.
- An headline at `org-e-beamer-frame-level' level becomes a frame,
unless it has the "noframe" tag. In that case, its contents are
inserted between surrounding frames.
- Any headline above that level has a block type (depending on the
BEAMER_env property). Without that property, the headline is still
a block ("\begin{block}{title}...\end{block}").
- Since above some level, everything is a block, there is no "low level
headline" anymore. Thus, the H:num OPTION item sets
`org-e-beamer-frame-level'. There's no use for BEAMER_FRAME_LEVEL
keyword. It also means you can't make lists out of headlines.
- An headline below `org-e-beamer-frame-level' with an "appendix" tag
becomes an appendix part.
- An headline with a "note" tag becomes a note between frames if at
`org-e-beamer-frame-level', within current frame otherwise.
- There is no separate syntax for \alert{} command: it is the default
output for bold objects (i.e. *text* becomes \alert{text}).
- Obviously, all special tags specified in this list are customizable.
Unfortunately I cannot get rid of "normal" environment property. There
is also some work to do on overlays and, perhaps, links. But let's
start with headlines first.

[O] Setting a deadline in a template
I'm sure there's a simple answer to this but i can't seem to tease it out of the on-line docs. I want to set up a capture template for entering incoming work that automatically sets a deadline for the item when it's entered. Ideally, I'd like it to set a deadline 4 business hours in the future of the current time, but that's a tricky calculation and I'd settle for current time plus a day. I've tried the naive approach: ... DEADLINE: %T+1 ... Doesn't work so well. What's the proper way?

Would bold then be archived with some other markup? Or would it just
not be possible to get bold text (without defaulting to \bold{·})?
The noframe tag sounds good.
Perhaps a pause tag would also be nice.

I did not understand that one.

I never needed that -- yet --, but this is surely a great addition.
I'm wondering, though, how you support the special case of "beamer frame
level" set to 0, where we need to add the tag "B_frame" (in fact, the
property) to show where the frame really begins.

Nice.

Not used yet (in pure Beamer neither), but that's the following step on my
todo list...
> - There is no separate syntax for \alert{} command: it is the default

I liked the fact we had 2 types of highlighting (bold, in black, and alert, in
red, in my case).
I would say that, as Beamer has those 2 different highlightings, we should be
able to still support both. Is this a problem?[1]

Maybe it has something to do with the declaration in ob.el then (line 43): (declare-function with-parsed-tramp-file-name "tramp" (filename var &rest body)) with-parsed-tramp-file-name is a macro, not a function. Can you try commenting out that line in ob.el and checking again? Not sure what mayhem will ensue, but who knows? Nick

You have six different markups to play with: * _ + / = ~. You can
associate bold to any one.
By default, I think alert is sufficiently close to bold so it can
replace it. Any other choice would be surprising.

Yes, else the Calc result is inserted without change. There is a
formula debugger that shows the formatting steps nicely: "C-c {"
The "+.0" is necessary too to convert Calc integer to Calc float for
some cases as shown in the example tables here:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#table-float-fraction
All together:
#+TBLFM: @4$1=@2$1+@3$1 +.0; f-2::@5$1=vsum(@I..@II) +.0; f-2::$1=$0 +.0; f-2
This is what I recommend just in general and what I do always myself
as a habit because it can deal also with higher precision or the case
when those of the fields resulting in an empty string should remain
empty instead of a "0.00". If you don't want to be prepared for all
that, for your current example you can still use just
#+TBLFM: @4$1=@2$1+@3$1;%.2f::@5$1=vsum(@I..@II);%.2f::$1=$0;%.2f
> And besides that, I've never seen this description "f-2". Is it explained

For an explanation see the URLs to the Calc manual mentioned here
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#table-float-fraction
after "For f3 and f-3 see `d f' (`calc-fix-notation')".

In one of your follow-up replies you mention you are not sure what could
be the use case. The beamer package has the option handout, that allows
one to produce handouts for your slides with text in between frames
included in the final pdf. This addition would make that process as
simple as adding the handout option to beamer and recompiling the latex
source!

I am a little apprehensive about this. Bold is something I use (and see
others use) frequently in presentations. I would suggest changing the
choice to something that is less used in presentations. The `_' markup
could be a good candidate or one of the two `=' or `~' could be used
(since they render to something very similar in the pdf). But this is
not an important point; as long as this is configurable, I'm happy. :)

[O] Bug: org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift adds a empty :ID:-textline [7.8.11]
Hallo all,
when I do a org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift command, it adds up a
"left over" line with just ":ID:" in it.
The most simple way to produce it is with cloning just a single TODO
item like this on:
..
TODO Trockenstellen
SCHEDULED: <2012-12-30 Son>
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: 81f8d39d-5c69-4acf-88c4-add66c5ac46d
:END:
..
will produce by cloning 2 times with +1d shift that one with a extra
empty :ID: line in each clone.
..
TODO Trockenstellen
SCHEDULED: <2012-12-31 Mon>
:PROPERTIES:
:ID:
:ID: 945ac3a6-9217-448c-86d0-19941ad3bb9b
:END:
TODO Trockenstellen
SCHEDULED: <2013-01-01 Die>
:PROPERTIES:
:ID:
:ID: 430edfc4-8144-4420-976b-ef5a32665cdb
:END:
.
This happens only if the 1st entry has a :ID: line, where the
org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift get called.
The :ID: line gets added in the versions 7.8.11 and 7.8.9
The versions 6.33x and 7.01g from the debian installation dont have that
bug.

I don't think it works as expected:

- C-c a[2] a :: Appelle l'agenda
* Footnotes

gets exported to:

} :: Appelle le dispatcher
\item C-c a\footnote{C-c a est un préfixe commun à beaucoup de commandes
} a :: Appelle l'agenda
\end{itemize}
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
That is, not as a description list...

At the moment, beamer exporter is hooked into regular latex exporter
when latex class is "beamer". This restriction is unnecessary when you
consider beamer as an independent back-end (i.e. you can call beamer
export even on your "article" setup).

Would you mind providing an example for that? I am not aware of that
special case.

Not really a problem, but Org limits text markup to six elements. You
can easily choose to use another one for bold (i.e. with filters),
though.

Hi everybody, I'm an absolute beginner with emacs and orgmode. When I insert a timestamp using C-u C-c . I'm unable to edit the time using S-left or S-right even when cursor is placed in the right end of the timestamp. Even in this case, S-left and S-right changes the date.

Sorry to insist, but I don't think it's a good idea to suppress the
distinction between alert (generally mapped to @ in private Org
configurations) and bold (*).
If I follow your advice, to get back the bold, I would have to override
another symbol, like + for example.
Not mentioning the fact it won't be standard (if I ever distribute my Org
file), but I can't export my slides once to Beamer PDF, once to a standard
document PDF without seeing big differences in the interpretation of the
symbols.
While, on the contrary, if we have an apart symbol for alert (apart from bold,
as foreseen in Beamer), and if we include such a line for the standard PDF
export:
\providecommand{\alert}[1]{\textbf{#1}}
or, better
\providecommand{\alert}[1]{{\textcolor{red}{\bfseries{#1
we win on both sides (we can export to both Beamer and standard doc with both
bold and alert differentiated), don't we?

Seb

[O] BBDB Sync (Was: Re: [Orgmode] Re: contact management in org-mode?)
I was searching through the list archives when I came across this old thread. I thought I would point out some recent developments in the BBDB world that might be of general interest to Emacs users. I am the author of a sync tool that can perform bi-directional sync between MS Outlook / Google Contacts / Emacs BBDB. You can set up a sync profile between any folder in one of those with any folder in any of the other two. It's been released to the bbdb-info audience, and it seems to be working quite well (no complaints yet of ASynK eating up peoples contacts.) Give it a shot by visiting the project page at: http://karra-asynk.appspot.com/ Further, BBDB v3 is getting ready to come out of alpha status, as per a recent mail on bbdb-info by the current maintainer Roland Winkler. All in all, there is some action on the BBDB side of the world, and this is a great time for the faithful to return to the fold :) -Karra -- *From*: Darlan Cavalcante Moreira*Subject*:Re: [Orgmode] Re: contact management in org-mode? *Date*:Sun, 25 Oct 2009 10:51:07 -0300*User-agent*:Wanderlust/2.15.6 (Almost Unreal) Emacs/23.1 Mule/6.0 (HANACHIRUSATO) -- If there was someway to sync (two-way) bbdb with google contacts all problems would be solved for me, since I can sync my phone with google contacts and Evolution can read/write from/to google contacts (although nowadays I use wanderlust in Emacs instead of evolution, which obviously can use bbdb).

[O] Org Mode TOOD two way sync tool
I am the author of ASynK (http://karra-asynk.appspot.com), a PIM sync tool and framework written in python that works across a variety of PIM providers such as Outlook, Google and BBDB. I am considering extending ASynK to do a bi-directional sync of Outlook tasks to Org Mode tasks. To be able to do this I need a working read/write API for reading and creating TODOs in org mode. *"Offline parsers"* My first preference is to be able to parser org files without required Emacs - this is the approach that I have implemented for BBDB sync. I considered PyOrgMode (https://github.com/bjonnh/PyOrgMode/network), but it appears unable to process TODOs, or even recurring events. To be able to extend PyOrgMode so I can read and write TODOs, I needed a full description of the format of TODO entries in all its forms. The Org manual itself has this information, I'm sure but scattered all over the place, given its real audience. Can someone point me to some sort of a concise representation, if any, of the org file format grammar? *org-protocol* * * By quickly reading the documentation I figured that org-protocol can be used to create entries, but is there a way to use it to do generic queries like "list all TODOs in a specified file, with a particular property value" and such? Any help is much appreciated. -Karra
