[O] back matter in Org documents.

2016-08-18 Thread Allen S. Rout


I've got a document structure I'd like to use, and I've been thinking
about how to do it.   I thought I'd float the idea, and see if anyone
has attempted something similar.

I'm writing some prose, in which I'm referring to email messages.  In
magical rainbow-pony land, my use case would look something like

---

Text text text blah blah relevant point, see [[ref: ./2004-01-13.eml]]
blah blah more prose.



A footnote/endnote signifier would be placed in the prose at the point
of the ref, and the contents of the file would be included in an
appendix section.

I've been searching on 'appendix', and the references seem mostly to
talk about _formatting_ the section we deem an appendix, in the
appropriate style.   I understand the value of this, but it's not my case.

Should I just define a section, #+INCLUDE each email I care about, and
do an internal link?  That's not awful, but it's not nearly as
high-speed and sexy.

you could do something like [[attachfile:./2004-01-13.eml]] with this
attachfile link:
https://github.com/jkitchin/scimax/blob/master/scimax-org.el#L727

It works for pdf export anyway.

[O] new link parameters and link abbreviations

2016-08-18 Thread mc
The new link parameters are fabulous!

Only the parameter ':help-echo' seems not to be respected, if a link is used by 
an abbreviated form as defined by the 'org-link-abbrev-alist'.

Would be nice, if this could be fixed.

Anyway, thank you for this big step forward,
