[O] [BUG] src_blocks - :wrap blocks not being overwritten
Hi List, The functionality of replacing blocks using ":wrap" seems to be broken. In this email [1] from 2014, a user reported that this was working: , | * A | | #+header: :results raw replace :wrap | #+begin_src emacs-lisp | (+ 2 2) | #+end_src | | #+results: | #+BEGIN_RESULTS | 4 | #+END_RESULTS ` i'm running orgmode 9.1.14 and the "BEGIN_RESULTS" blocks are not getting overwritten. Can anybody else reproduce this problem? Regards, Carlos [1]: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2014-07/msg00122.html
[O] Bug: Bad string comparison in org-all-archive-files (org 9.1.14)
Hi I've encountered and, I think, diagnosed the cause of a bug in org-archive.el Background: I stubled upon this while trying to work out why my clocktables weren't behaving as expected. In one of my org files I have several large trees set up to use different archive files via :ARCHIVE: properties, and the clocktable I added with :scope file-with-archives seemed to be ignoring those archives. Except it worked fine when I used a default archive for the whole file, or added a custom one using #+ARCHIVE: instead. After some experimenting and digging around in the source code I've found that the actual problem is a bad string comparison in a function called org-all-archive-files in org-archive.el. The issue: The real problem turns out to be that org-all-archive-files does not do what it says on the can. It should list all archive files for the current buffer, but will fail to pick up archive files listed in :ARCHIVE: properties. To reproduce, make a new org file called temp.org (or your choice of name) containing something like: * Test-heading :PROPERTIES: :ARCHIVE: test_archive:: :END: Then create an empty file called test_archive in the same directory, and try calling (message "archives: %s" (org-all-archive-files)) in that buffer. Expected output: "archives: (/some/path/test_archive)" Actual output: "archives: nil" The cause: Specifically the error is in this part of org-all-archive-files starting on line 170 of org-archive.el (original indentation not preserved): (when (save-match-data (if (eq (match-string 1) ":") (org-at-property-p) (eq (org-element-type (org-element-at-point)) 'keyword))) ... That (eq (match-string 1) ":") always fails. Replacing eq with string= in that expression seems to restore the expected behaviour: org-all-archive-files no longer ignores archive files listed in :ARCHIVE: properties. And indeed, it resolves the clocktable issue I was having as well.

[O] Bug: (R?) colnames sometimes appear, sometimes don't [9.1.13 (release_9.1.13 @ /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/org/)]
Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See
https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback
Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
hi. it appears, at least for R, with :colnames in its default setting
(nil, i believe), if there are multiple :var arguments on the
#+BEGIN_SRC line, colnames for an hline'd table will appear iff the :var
for that table appears on the #+BEGIN_SRC line *before* any :var for a
*non* hline'd table.
small example follows. (this was run, and behaved similarly, on a more
standard R:

Re: [O] org-mode: Would like to add custom chars as org-list bullets
I don't think the suggestions made in that thread are going to help in terms of org-mode recognizing a line as being a list item. What I tried that I did think might work was to customize org-list-full-item-re: org-list-full-item-re is a variable defined in ‘org-list.el’. Its value is "^[ ]*\\(\\*(?:[-+*]\\|\\(?:[0-9]+\\|[A-Za-z]\\)[.)]\\)*\\(?:[ ]+\\|$\\)\\)\\(?:\\[@\\(?:start:\\)?\\([0-9]+\\|[A-Za-z]\\)\\][ ]*\\)?\\(?:\\(\\[[ X-]\\]\\)\\(?:[ ]+\\|$\\)\\)?\\(?:\\(.*\\)[ ]+::\\(?:[ ]+\\|$\\)\\)?" This variable may be risky if used as a file-local variable. Documentation: Matches a list item and puts everything into groups: *group 1: bullet* group 2: counter group 3: checkbox group 4: description tag to add '!' and '?' to '-+' in the group 1 expression, but that didn't do it.

[O] Bug: Capture template insertion fails with #+FOO [9.1.14 (9.1.14-1-g4931fc-elpa @ /home/phil/.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.1.14/)]
Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list. Regression in org-capture template handling. I expected my (previously working) org-capture template to be inserted into a newly-created empty Org file. The file name and location are the output of a function specified in the template (sequentially numbered filename). Function `org-capture-insert-template-here' in file org-capture.el now errors if the template specifies that its type is 'entry and it begins with one or more lines of the general form "#+KEY value". The error traces to a call to `org-kill-is-subtree-p', defined in file org.el. Fix (sorry it's not a proper patch): Change line 1399 of org-capture.el from: (org-capture-verify-tree (org-capture-get :template)) to: (org-capture-verify-tree (replace-regexp-in-string "#\+[^\n]*\n" "" template)) (This includes a refactoring-out of that redundant call to `org-capture-get').

[O] letterhead and signature in odt export
in North America it's letter-of-reference season for professors, and I am writing a lot of them. These are some of the only documents I still compose in libreoffice, because I need to use a letterhead that contains both image and text, and I need to insert a .png of my signature near the bottom. I would much prefer to compose these letter in org and them export. In order to so I would need to preserve the letterhead and the signature somehow. Both these sections in my current letters occur within the section which I guess is always replaced by org on export. My immediate question: Is there a way to preserve some of these contents? More generally: do people have template files they are very satisfied with? I would be happy to go straight to pdf via latex, if it were easy to accomplish the same effect that way I don't use latex at all myself so it might not be so easy for me :-/. For completeness, here is the xml for my letterhead (sorry it's rather long): - University of Toronto dept. of history Rm-2074 sidney smith, 100 st. george street, TORONTO, ONTARIO M5S 3G3 CANADATelephone 416-978-3363 Fax 416-978-4810 -- and here is my signature: University of Toronto dept. of history Rm-2074 sidney smith, 100 st. george street, TORONTO, ONTARIO M5S 3G3 CANADATelephone 416-978-3363 Fax 416-978-4810 As you can see, one occurs at the beginning of the element, and the other at the end. Can I somehow insert them on export? Thanks as always for your help.

The documentation for odt export suggests that you can specify a style file. If you create this file in libreoffice with your letterhead & image, it should work. I've not tested this, mind you. I use LaTeX, specifically the komascript letter style, but it does require LaTeX knowledge to create the basic template. -- Eric S Fraga via Emacs 27.0.50, Org release_9.1.13-783-g97fac4
