Planner Pages Anyone?

David A. Gershman — 2008-08-28T21:52:15

Has anyone attempted the exporting or printing of .org data to a physical planner size page? I'm looking to get 1) the agenda view to a "planner page", and perhaps 2) any subtree view. --------------- David A.

FYI to the admin of this list: I unsubscribed my current address in favor of this one and got the following message: Good bye. I hope you had some fun here, but maybe not enough to stay. Sorry to loose you. Thought I'd let you know it's "lose" not "loose". Although "loose" did have some interesting things come to mind. :) --------------- David A.

HTML export: how delimit escaped entity?

Mark Theodoropoulos — 2008-08-27T18:23:08

This is probably bonehead simple, but so far that bone is broken. The entities in org-html-entities work fine for me as long as followed by a space (or another \-escaped entity), but I can't seem to discover how they're delimited within a word. I.e. "Ren\eacute " produces "René " but I've failed to find a way to get "Ástor" out of any combination of "\Aacute" and "stor". ("\Aacutestor" -> "\Aacutestor", "\Aacute stor" naturally -> "Á stor", and nothing I've tried by way of analogy with shells (e.g. "\{Aacute}stor") or other syntax ("\Aacute\stor"? "\Aacute$stor"? etc.) has produced anything but the same string in the generated code. I'm sure my ignorance of {insert bonehead lacuna here} is showing, but does anyone know how to put the poor man's name into an org file so that it will export? Thanks -- and repeated & continual thanks to Carsten and all other generous contributors. Mark

Mail files in org

Charles Howard — 2008-08-28T14:54:22

Is it possible to structure a large collection of emails in an org file ? Are there any specific tools for doing this ? I have used pine for many years but the business of categorizing sensibly into folders the hundreds of mails which come each week is out of hand. Googlemail is offering a single file of emails, with (multiple) `tabs' replacing the functionality of folders. This seems like a great step forward, but I don't like GUIs, and I'm not happy that on googlemail it seems not to be possible to download an email to disk with header information. (And I don't want all my emails permanently on someone else's server.) Maybe this has been thought of already, but I can't see it anywhere. I've never used mail under emacs (though I've used emacs for about 12 years). What I have in mind is a single text file containing (say) one year's 10^5 emails. I could go through attaching tabs, TODO notes, draft replies, rude remarks, tags, ... able to open a specific category ... If I'm reinventing the wheel, ple

So I would have/see the following: * Primary Task [65%] * COMPLETED Sub-Task 1 [100%] - 2008/08/08 17:33:00... * Sub-Task 2 [24%]... * Sub-Task 3 [72%]... The primary task percent would be based on 3 sub-tasks of equal weight, so: (1*.33) + (.24*.33) + (.72*.33) = 65% I'd even be willing to settle for a primary task percent of just 33% since only 1 sub-task is complete

question concerning table mode / vsum / automatic adjustments of indices

Rainer Stengele — 2008-08-27T11:35:02

I mostly have the same application of using org tables. I have (many) columns with numbers and want to see the sum in the last row. See this little example: |-------+--------| | items | amount | |-------+--------| | a | 0.5 | | b | 0.0 | | c | 0.5 | |-------+--------| | sum | 1. | |-------+--------| #+TBLFM: < at >5$2=vsum(< at >2..4) Having the cursor on the row with "c" and pressing I get this: |-------+--------| | items | amount | |-------+--------| | a | 0.5 | | b | 0.0 | | | | | c | 0.5 | |-------+--------| | sum | 1. | |-------+--------| #+TBLFM: < at >6$2=vsum(< at >2..< at >5) everything is adjusted correctly! Now I want to add a row after "c". Being on the row below "c" when I press I get this: |-------+--------| | items | amount | |-------+--------

problem with appointments not cancelling

org-plot (generating graphs from org-mode)

Eric Schulte — 2008-08-26T01:53:59

Hi, org-plot enables generation of graphs from data stored in org tables (maybe eventually elsewhere in org files). It is available on github at http://github.com/eschulte/org-plot/tree/master or with git clone git://github.com/eschulte/org-plot.git Included with org-plot.el is an example.org file which should quickly show off it's features, options and abilities. While this is not completed, it is functional, and I figure better to get early feedback then wait until it's all polished. Please give it a look and let me know what you think.

Patch for Plain Text Export

Thomas Fuchs — 2008-08-24T18:01:22

Hi, I detected, that using org-store-agenda-views to export my views to *.txt in plain text results in files growing and growing because the new views are appended. In my understanding this is not the intended behavior. Every new export should replace the previous one. I attached a very simple patch to correct this.

Creating an Ubuntu Package for org.

Ian Barton — 2008-08-25T08:19:46

Whilst it's pretty easy to install org from source, I thought it might be helpful to make an Ubuntu package. Making a package may encourage more people to try org as it overcomes some hurdles in installation. Also you should automatically get up to date versions. I know that someone has made packages available before, but they don't seem to be actively maintained. Rather than just create my own personal packages, I thought it might be worthwhile to use Launchpad and try to get the package accepted into the Ubuntu package collection. I know that Carsten is away at the moment and I wouldn't want to do anything without his agreement. Comments please!

org-mode now available on mac os x using fink

Jesse Alama — 2008-08-23T20:29:02

I'm pleased to report that org-mode is now available for Mac OS X users as a package within the Fink system [1]. The org-mode source is divided into two packages: core support (org-mode [2]) and contributed code (org-mode-contrib [3]). Fink users can issue the command fink install org-mode to get started; org-mode will then be available in the next emacs session (more precisely, the next session of Fink's emacs). To install the contributed code, the command fink install org-mode-contrib does the job. As it stands, org-mode is not in the "stable" branch of fink, so one has to enable Fink's "unstable" branch if one wants to get the packages [4]. The packages will track the releases that Carsten makes; the current version is 6.06b. Cheers, Jesse [1] http://www.finkproject.org [2] http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/org-mode [3] http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/org-mode-contrib [4] http://www.finkproject.org/faq/usage-fink.php?phpLang=en#unstable

Hello list, Rick Moynihan requested a table of contents sorted by tags (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2008-07/msg00434.html). The new version on http://repo.or.cz/w/Worg.git provides a the shortcut 'C' to show such an index: Tag1 - Headline with tag1 - Another headline with tag1 and tag2 Tag2 - Headline with tag2 - Another headline with tag1 and tag2 There is no inheritance though. As for the most cases, the links lead to the local toc showing all subsections. Maybe inheritance should be an option? The 'HELP' link et al should be fixed too (i.e. they look like links now, because of a 'href' attribute).
