Re: [O] A gentle introduction to Emacs & Org-mode?

2014-07-23 Thread Leonard Avery Randall
Hi Marcin I switched from Scrivener to org-mode about 11 months ago. I would say the biggest hurdles were getting used to the key bindings, and configuring the back-ends. The emacs tutorial was fairly useful. For the Org-Mode key bindings, I just printed out the starter pdf and put it next to my

Hi Bastien and Nicolas, Thanks for the work. I do think the footnote transformation function looks useful, though for now I think I will stick with defining the footnotes at the end of each section and re-sorting the footnotes before refile. I still think it would be useful to have org-refile m

Hi Vikas, I manage my whole bibtex database on org. It makes my workflow more integrated. It allows me to keep bib info, todo states and notes all in the same place, and it allows me to access it all through the agenda. I just periodically run org-bibtex to make sure that I have a updated bib

Hi, As Henry just noted, one of your main problem is your bibtex key. It should not contain spaces, commas, backslashes, semicolons, or other special characters that might mess up the syntax of the bibtex file. A common convention is to use author:year or if you have many articles by the same

Hi Sharon, Your setup seems to only call bibtex once. I find that with biblatex this is usually not enough to resolve references. I would call bibtex a second time after the second run of biblatex. All best, Leonard

Hi Jay, Regarding org-refile: I just keep all my current projects in my agenda list. I then set up org-refile-targets to (org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 6). This allows me to quickly refile a subtree to any subtree in any project that I am currently working on. (I use this frequently to organize
