Well... spare you the sweat, because I'm not even sure we'd like such a
patch :)

Indentation is a visual clue about the structure of the code -- if you
lose the structure (like in the HTML scattered snippets of the link
above), the visual clue will does not help anymore...  imagine if you
are deep in the HTML AST and have to indent by 20 whitespaces?  That
would not help at all -- instead, you want the snippet to be read as if
it was on the top of the AST.

Anyway, perhaps that's just me...

[O] [babel] Using Property Drawers to Pass Values to a Variable

[Ian Barton]

I am trying to pass a variable value to a latex source code block:

* Letter.
:PROPERTIES:
:first_name: Ian
:last_name: Barton
:END:

#+begin_src latex var: last_name =(org-get-entry nil "last_name")

#+end_src

However, it appears as though it's only supported for lisp. Any 
suggestions as how to do this?


I am trying to construct a business letter template using the KOMA 
scrlttrs class. I have got the letter looking the way I want it in tex. 
I propose to use babel to produce the tex, but need a way to pass 
variables stored in my org file to the various komavar.


I have tried org-koma-letter.el, which isn't quite flexible enough for 
my needs. I know there have been several postings in the list about 
using KOMA. If anyone is interested I found this 
http://stefano.italians.nl/archives/55 site a great help in getting my 
design the way I wanted it.

Indeed. I've published a patch to ob.el (as of Emacs trunk). Meanwhile,
ob.el has been renamed to ob-core.el; likely that patch was lost :-(

Looks like you're the victim of two small typos.

The following works for me.

* Letter.

:first_name: Ian

#+begin_src latex :var last_name=(org-entry-get nil "last_name")

[O] [PATCH] Introduce a new variable for x11idle

[Yasushi SHOJI]

Debian and other OSes already have a program called 'xprintidle',
which does the same thing as x11idle. It also handles the DPMS bug[1]
some version of X servers have.

In order to use an alternative, introduce a customizable variable
'org-clock-x11idle-program-name' to hold the actual command name.

[O] bugs in export

[Samuel Wales]

I cannot debug further, but FYI:

  1) Sometimes "# " comments get exported to ASCII or HTML.

 I am not able to provide you with an appropriate test
 case at this time but it reliably reproduces with my test case
(large file) and my
 code.

 I reproduced one or both of these bugs with Emacs -Q at one point.

 It occurs with subtree export when marking the subtree
 first.

  2) org-export on subtree with A or H produces this error:

I don't have experience with Rudel but I'm also interested in hearing
from others -- maybe at some point we can organize some co-writing
session where we try to update Worg pages.

On the same topic, I'm interested to know if anyone is using prose.io
to collaborate on markdown docs:

  http://prose.io/about.html

The nice thing is that the code is free, and it should be fairly easy
for javascript programmers to adapt it so that it can handle basic Org
structure... and let *anyone* write Org doc collaboratively and
seemlessly.

Com'on, let's start something great :)

Not really an advice, but I was in a similar situation to yours,

Is it a standard practise when displaying float numbers in

If so, this is a nice Elisp challenge for anyone willing to
implement it :)  I won't try it myself for now.

Yes, I think this is pretty hopeless.

Before switching to Vi, maybe you can try to activate `hl-line-mode'
within `org-agenda-finalize-hook', because fontification is done late in
the agenda creation and this hook is called just before it.  Not tested,
though.

The support for inline \begin{...} is a convenient hack, but it's 
a hack and adding features of the #+begin_src/latex blocks to it 
would only make it more hackish.  I suggest you use a code block
and C-c ' when necessary.

What is doable is to try to enhance Org so that less stuff come in the
way, sure.

What we may think about is a "Org readable exchange format (oref?)",
which would take the output of Nicolas' parser, export it in Org-mode
using some specific properties like "TAGS:" "TODO:" etc.

Maybe you can start working on a org-e-oref exporter, storying *all*

Thanks Bastien.

My real problem is that plain footnotes such as [1930] are a general
nuisance to me since so many legal citations use that form. I am using a
hack suggested by Jan Bocker to disable them, perform some operation and
then "un hack" the hack.

The hack is: replace [ with [ and a non-printing space when [ begins a
plain footnote. The trouble is that I need to define new functions or
macros for each general footnote operation.

I think I misunderstood the purpose of f:nil in the options line.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Alan
