Feature request: Radio button option for lists of checkboxes
(Where "radio button" means that for a list of checkboxes, only one may be selected at any given time -- selecting a different checkbox automatically de-selects the previous one.) Hello org-mode, John Kitchin posted this blog a few years back: http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2015/10/05/A-checkbox-list-in-org-mode-with-one-value/ Subsequently Matúš Goljer adapted that code here: https://github.com/Fuco1/org-radiobutton I'm slow in following this up, but I contacted both John and Matúš last year suggesting that this facility would make a nice addition to the core org-mode features. Both of them were happy for me to submit the feature request, and both confirmed that they have signed FSF copyright assignment, and so their code may be safely adapted. I have CC'd them both to this message. Matúš's github project has subsequently merged a branch from one other contributor, so I have pushed a fork which excludes that particular change, as I am not aware of the copyright status for that. This FSF-safe fork is: https://github.com/phil-s/org-radiobutton (n.b. I've assigned FSF copyright for Emacs too, but none of the code on this fork was written by me.) John also independently made some later changes to his original code, and the current version of that can be found here: https://github.com/jkitchin/scimax/blob/740591268a868b4944193e0600bf71b6f2553f2b/scimax-org.el#L1426 Both implementations depend upon the dash library, so I expect the relevant bits of code would need rewriting. I suspect that a standard implementation would be able to approach things a bit differently in any case; but the existing code would surely provide at minimum a valuable reference for a core implementation, and I imagine at least some of the code could be used verbatim. I'm not familiar with org-mode internals, so I've not attempted to provide a patch for this, but I'm hoping there's enough here that someone with existing knowledge could run with it, as it seems like a nice feature to include. -Phil

Good question! I guess, for me, a task is one that will appear in my
agenda so has a TODO state (possibly) and/or scheduling/deadline
information. But the distinction is rather blurry.
So, in fact, when I am working on a long document, I have tasks of the
"must improve this section" type which are not tasks for scheduling (the
whole document is itself a task) or "notes" for processing later (by
myself or by others involved in the same document). I use drawers for
these types of activities. I then use the export formatting options to
make the pseudo-tasks and notes appear differently in the exported
output, whether for sharing or for printing/display. So, for instance,
I look for ":todo:" and ":note:" drawers.
If the document I am working on is a coursework or test, I use drawers
for storing the solutions, e.g. a drawer called ":solution:"! For this,
for instance, I have the following elisp in the document that is invoked
when I open the document:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq-local org-latex-format-drawer-function
(lambda (name contents)
(cond ((string= name "solution")
(format "\\begin{mdframed}\\paragraph{Solution.}
%s\\end{mdframed}" contents))
(t (format "\\textbf{%s}: %s" name contents))
)))
#+end_src
together with
#+latex_header: \usepackage[backgroundcolor=yellow!10!white]{mdframed}
to make the solution stand out clearly.
The nice thing about drawers is I can turn them on or off for exporting
via the "d:" document option:
HTH,
eric

latex preview parallel processes
Hello. I have an org document with many latex snippets for which I use the org latex preview facility. As the document has gotten bigger, any changes requiring a rebuild of all images (e.g. changing `org-format-latex-header') takes longer and longer to the point where it now takes me over an hour to generate all images. Since all images are mutually independent, I was wondering if it's possible to run these tasks in parallel to make use of my multiple CPU cores. If this is not currently possible, what would it take to get this working and how could I help? Thanks Matt

TODO keywords are single classification. This means that you are not able to assign more than one person to a task. I'm using @tags for the same purpose which allows me to assign tasks to more than one person and keep TODO keywords independent to the person. For example, when you resolve a task, you lose the information who was assigned to the task. Therefore, I'd use: * Meeting ** TODO Prepare the demo :@Fred: ** STARTED Contact customer :@Sara: ** TODO Work on the document :@Fred:@Lucy:@Mike: More on that on https://karl-voit.at/2019/09/25/categories-versus-tags/ including an elisp snippet I'm using to filter according to @name-tags.

Re: @name-tags instead of TODO keywords to assign people (was: Org mode for meeting minutes)
+1. This is how I do it as well. This approach makes it easier to not only see what tasks have been assigned to what people, it also provides a way to generate a custom agenda (report) showing what tasks each has and what the state is for each task.

":COOKIE_DATA: todo recursive" as elisp for everything
Hi! I plan to use the following property for all of my projects: :COOKIE_DATA: todo recursive You can find details on this about this on [3]. In order to get this behavior for all of my headings that are using progress cookies, I'd prefer the possibility to define this in my init.el instead of hundreds of scattered drawers. On [1] I found the file-based method of "#+PROPERTY: COOKIE_DATA recursive" which is a start but I still need to test it in order to confirm that this is working with "todo" and "recursive". I'm not an elisp expert but [2] doesn't seem to respect any elisp variable that controls "todo recursive" as well. Is there a way of defining this in my general setup? Thanks!

The Org default of org-edit-src-content-indentation is 2. I like that value and leave it that way. Worg's root .dir-locals sets it to 0 buffer-locally in at least many Worg's Org files. Hence, when I edit an src block in a Worg file, the value of org-edit-src-content-indentation in the edit buffer is 2. But the correct value in that case is 0. Best wishes Sebastian
