|
Org-mode is a mode for keeping notes, maintaining ToDo lists, and doing
|
|
|
|
project planning with a fast and effective plain-text system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Org-mode develops organizational tasks around NOTES files that contain
|
|
|
|
information about projects as plain text. Org-mode is implemented on
|
|
|
|
top of outline-mode, which makes it possible to keep the content of
|
|
|
|
large files well structured. Visibility cycling and structure editing
|
|
|
|
help to work with the tree. Tables are easily created with a built-in
|
|
|
|
table editor. Org-mode supports ToDo items, deadlines, time stamps,
|
|
|
|
and scheduling. It dynamically compiles entries into an agenda that
|
|
|
|
utilizes and smoothly integrates much of the Emacs calendar and diary.
|
|
|
|
Plain text URL-like links connect to websites, emails, Usenet
|
|
|
|
messages, BBDB entries, and any files related to the projects. For
|
|
|
|
printing and sharing of notes, an Org-mode file can be exported as a
|
|
|
|
structured ASCII file, as HTML, or (todo and agenda items only) as an
|
|
|
|
iCalendar file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Org-mode keeps simple things simple. When first fired up, it should
|
|
|
|
feel like a simple but easy to use outliner. Complexity is not
|
|
|
|
imposed, but a large amount of functionality is available when you
|
|
|
|
need it. Org-mode can be used on different levels and in different
|
2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|
|
|
ways, for example:
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
@r{@bullet{} as an outline extension with visibility cycling and structure editing}
|
|
|
|
@r{@bullet{} as an ASCII system and table editor for taking structured notes}
|
|
|
|
@r{@bullet{} as an ASCII table editor with spreadsheet-like capabilities}
|
|
|
|
@r{@bullet{} as a simple hypertext system, with HTML export}
|
|
|
|
@r{@bullet{} as a TODO list editor}
|
|
|
|
@r{@bullet{} as a full agenda and planner with deadlines and work scheduling}
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Org-mode table editor can be integrated into any major mode by
|
|
|
|
activating the minor Orgtbl-mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is a website for Org-mode which provides links to the newest
|
|
|
|
version of Org-mode, as well as additional information, screen shots
|
|
|
|
and example files. This page is located at

If Org-mode is part of the Emacs distribution or an XEmacs package,
|
|
|
|
you only need to copy the following lines to your @file{.emacs} file.
|
|
|
|
The last two lines define @emph{global} keys for the commands
|
|
|
|
@command{org-store-link} and @command{org-agenda} - please
|
|
|
|
choose suitable keys yourself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

If you have downloaded Org-mode from the Web, you must byte-compile
|
|
|
|
@file{org.el} and put it on your load path. In addition to the Emacs
|
|
|
|
Lisp lines above, you also need to add the following lines to
|
|
|
|
@file{.emacs}:
|
|
|
|

Org-mode is implemented on top of outline-mode. Outlines allow to
|
|
|
|
organize a document in a hierarchical structure, which (at least for
|
|
|
|
me) is the best representation of notes and thoughts. Overview over
|
|
|
|
this structure is achieved by folding (hiding) large parts of the
|
|
|
|
document to show only the general document structure and the parts
|
|
|
|
currently being worked on. Org-mode greatly simplifies the use of
|
|
|
|
outlines by compressing the entire show/hide functionality into a
|
|
|
|
single command @command{org-cycle}, which is bound to the @key{TAB}
|
|
|
|
key.

Headlines define the structure of an outline tree. The headlines in
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
Org-mode start with one or more stars, on the left margin. For

@noindent Some people find the many stars too noisy and would prefer an

outline that has whitespace followed by a single star as headline
|

|
An important feature of Org-mode is the ability to construct
|
|
|
|
@emph{sparse trees} for selected information in an outline tree. A
|
|
|
|
sparse tree means that the entire document is folded as much as
|
|
|
|
possible, but the selected information is made visible along with the
|
|
|
|
headline structure above it@footnote{See also the variables
|
|
|
|
@code{org-show-hierarchy-above} and
|
|
|
|
@code{org-show-following-heading}.}. Just try it out and you will see
|
|
|
|
immediately how it works.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Org-mode contains several commands creating such trees. The most
|
|
|
|
basic one is @command{org-occur}:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @kbd
|
|
|
|
@kindex C-c /
|
|
|
|
@item C-c /
|
|
|
|
Occur. Prompts for a regexp and shows a sparse tree with all matches.
|
|
|
|
If the match is in a headline, the headline is made visible. If the
|
|
|
|
match is in the body of an entry, headline and body are made visible.
|
|
|
|
In order to provide minimal context, also the full hierarchy of
|
|
|
|
headlines above the match is shown, as well as the headline following
|
|
|
|
the match. Each match is also highlighted, the highlights disappear
|
|
|
|
when the buffer is changed with an editing command.
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
For frequently used sparse trees of specific search strings, you can
|
|
|
|
use the variable @code{org-agenda-custom-commands} to define fast
|
|
|
|
keyboard access to specific sparse trees. These commands will then be
|
|
|
|
accessible through the agenda dispatcher (@pxref{Agenda dispatcher}).
|
2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|
|
|
For example:
|
2008-01-31 05:30:30 -05:00
|
|
|
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
@lisp
|
|
|
|

|
|

@end lisp

|
|
|
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
@noindent will define the key @kbd{C-c a f} as a shortcut for creating
|
|
|
|
a sparse tree matching the string @samp{FIXME}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other commands are using sparse trees as well. For example @kbd{C-c
|
|
|
|
C-v} creates a sparse TODO tree (@pxref{TODO basics}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@kindex C-c C-x v
|
|
|
|
@cindex printing sparse trees
|
|
|
|
@cindex visible text, printing
|
|
|
|
To print a sparse tree, you can use the Emacs command
|
|
|
|
@code{ps-print-buffer-with-faces} which does not print invisible parts
|
|
|
|
of the document @footnote{This does not work under XEmacs, because
|
|
|
|
XEmacs uses selective display for outlining, not text properties}.
|
|
|
|
Or you can use the command @kbd{C-c C-x v} to copy the visible part of
|
2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|
|
|
the document to another file (extension @file{.txt}) which can then be
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
printed in any desired way.

Headlines define both the structure of the Org-mode file, and also lists
|
|
|
|
(for example, TODO items (@pxref{TODO items}) should be created using
|
|
|
|
headline levels). However, when taking notes, the plain text is
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
sometimes easier to read with hand-formatted lists. Org-mode supports
|
|
|
|
editing such lists, and the HTML exporter (@pxref{Exporting}) does
|
|
|
|
parse and format them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Org-mode knows ordered and unordered lists. Unordered list items start
|
|
|
|
with @samp{-}, @samp{+}, or @samp{*}@footnote{When using @samp{*} as a
|
|
|
|
bullet, lines must be indented or they will be seen as top-level
|
|
|
|
headlines. Also, when you are hiding leading stars to get a clean
|
|
|
|
outline view, plain list items starting with a star are visually
|
2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|
|
|
indistinguishable from true headlines. In short: even though @samp{*}
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
is supported, it may be better to not use it for plain list items} as
|
|
|
|
bullets. Ordered list items start with @samp{1.} or @samp{1)}. Items
|
|
|
|
belonging to the same list must have the same indentation on the first
|
2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|
|
|
line. In particular, if an ordered list reaches number @samp{10.}, then
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
the 2--digit numbers must be written left-aligned with the other numbers
|
|
|
|
in the list. Indentation also determines the end of a list item. It
|
|
|
|
ends before the next line that is indented like the bullet/number, or
|
|
|
|
less. For example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
** Lord of the Rings
|
|
|
|
My favorite scenes are (in this order)
|
|
|
|
1. Eowyns fight with the witch king
|
|
|
|
+ this was already my favorite scene in the book
|
|
|
|
+ I really like Miranda Otto.
|
|
|
|
2. The attack of the Rohirrim
|
|
|
|
3. Peter Jackson being shot by Legolas
|
|
|
|
- on DVD only
|
|
|
|
He makes a really funny face when it happens.
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Org-mode supports these lists by tuning filling and wrapping commands
|
|
|
|
to correctly deal with them. Furthermore, the following commands act
|
|
|
|
on items when the cursor is in the first line of an item (the line
|
|
|
|
with the bullet or number).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @kbd
|
|
|
|
@kindex @key{TAB}
|
|
|
|
@item @key{TAB}
|
|
|
|
Items can be folded just like headline levels if you set the variable
|
|
|
|
@code{org-cycle-include-plain-lists}. The level of an item is then
|
|
|
|
given by the indentation of the bullet/number. However, items are
|
|
|
|
always subordinate to real headlines, the hierarchies remain
|
|
|
|
completely separated.
|
|
|
|
@kindex M-@key{RET}
|
|
|
|
@item M-@key{RET}
|
|
|
|
Insert new item at current level. With prefix arg, for a new heading.
|
|
|
|
@kindex M-S-@key{up}
|
|
|
|
@kindex M-S-@key{down}
|
|
|
|
@item M-S-@key{up}
|
|
|
|
@itemx M-S-@key{down}
|
|
|
|
Move the item including subitems up/down (swap with previous/next item
|
|
|
|
of same indentation). If the list is ordered, renumbering is
|
|
|
|
automatic.
|
|
|
|
@kindex M-S-@key{left}
|
|
|
|
@kindex M-S-@key{right}
|
|
|
|
@item M-S-@key{left}
|
|
|
|
@itemx M-S-@key{right}
|
|
|
|
Decrease/increase the indentation of the item, including subitems.
|
|
|
|
Initially, the item tree is selected based on current indentation.
|
|
|
|
When these commands are executed several times in direct succession,
|
|
|
|
the initially selected region is used, even if the new indentation
|
|
|
|
would imply a different hierarchy. To use the new hierarchy, break
|
|
|
|
the command chain with a cursor motion or so.
|
|
|
|
@kindex C-c C-c
|
|
|
|
@item C-c C-c
|
|
|
|
Renumber the ordered list at the cursor.

Org-mode makes it easy to format tables in plain ASCII. Any line with
|
|
|
|
@samp{|} as the first non-white character is considered part of a
|
|
|
|
table. @samp{|} is also the column separator. A table might look
|
|
|
|
like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
| Name | Phone | Age |
|
|
|
|
|-------+-------+-----|
|
|
|
|
| Peter | 1234 | 17 |
|
|
|
|
| Anna | 4321 | 25 |
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A table is re-aligned automatically each time you press @key{TAB} or
|
|
|
|
@key{RET} or @kbd{C-c C-c} inside the table. @key{TAB} also moves to
|
|
|
|
the next field (@key{RET} to the next row) and creates new table rows
|
|
|
|
at the end of the table or before horizontal lines. The indentation
|
|
|
|
of the table is set by the first line. Any line starting with
|
|
|
|
@samp{|-} is considered as a horizontal separator line and will be
|
|
|
|
expanded on the next re-align to span the whole table width. So, to
|
|
|
|
create the above table, you would only type
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|Name|Phone|Age
|
|
|
|
|-
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
2008-01-31 05:30:30 -05:00
|
|
|
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
@noindent and then press @key{TAB} to align the table and start filling in
|
|
|
|
fields.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When typing text into a field, Org-mode treats @key{DEL},
|
|
|
|
@key{Backspace}, and all character keys in a special way, so that
|
|
|
|
inserting and deleting avoids shifting other fields. Also, when
|
|
|
|
typing @emph{immediately after the cursor was moved into a new field
|
|
|
|
with @kbd{@key{TAB}}, @kbd{S-@key{TAB}} or @kbd{@key{RET}}}, the
|
|
|
|
field is automatically made blank. If this behavior is too
|
|
|
|
unpredictable for you, configure the variables
|
|
|
|
@code{org-enable-table-editor} and @code{org-table-auto-blank-field}.

|

|
@kindex C-c |
|
|
|
|
@item C-c |
|
|
|
|
Convert the active region to table. If every line contains at least one
|
|
|
|
TAB character, the function assumes that the material is tab separated.
|
|
|
|
If not, lines are split at whitespace into fields. You can use a prefix
|
2008-01-31 05:31:08 -05:00
|
|
|
argument to indicate the minimum number of consecutive spaces required
|
|
|
|
to identify a field separator (default: just one).@*
|
2008-01-31 05:30:56 -05:00
|
|
|
If there is no active region, this command creates an empty Org-mode
|
|
|
|
table. However, it's easier to just start typing, like
|
|
|
|
@kbd{|Name|Phone|Age @key{RET} |- @key{TAB}}.

Copy a rectangular region from a table to a special clipboard. Point
|
|
|
|
and mark determine edge fields of the rectangle. The process ignores
|
|
|
|
horizontal separator lines.
|
|
|
|
@kindex C-c C-x C-w
|
|
|
|
@item C-c C-x C-w
|
|

Copy a rectangular region from a table to a special clipboard, and
|
|
|
|
blank all fields in the rectangle. So this is the ``cut'' operation.
|
|
|
|
@kindex C-c C-x C-y
|
|
|
|
@item C-c C-x C-y
|
|
|
|
Paste a rectangular region into a table.
|
|
|
|
The upper right corner ends up in the current field. All involved fields
|
|
|
|
will be overwritten. If the rectangle does not fit into the present table,
|
|
|
|
the table is enlarged as needed. The process ignores horizontal separator
|
|
|
|
lines.
|
|
|
|
@kindex C-c C-q
|
|
|
|
@item C-c C-q
|
|
|
|
Wrap several fields in a column like a paragraph. If there is an active
|
|
|
|
region, and both point and mark are in the same column, the text in the
|
|
|
|
column is wrapped to minimum width for the given number of lines. A
|
|
|
|
prefix ARG may be used to change the number of desired lines. If there
|
|
|
|
is no region, the current field is split at the cursor position and the
|
|
|
|
text fragment to the right of the cursor is prepended to the field one
|
|
|
|
line down. If there is no region, but you specify a prefix ARG, the
|
2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|
|
|
current field is made blank, and the content is appended to the field
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00

@item M-x org-table-import

|
Import a file as a table. The table should be TAB- or whitespace
|
2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|
|
|
separated. Useful, for example, to import an Excel table or data from a
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
database, because these programs generally can write TAB-separated text
|
|
|
|
files. This command works by inserting the file into the buffer and
|
|
|
|
then converting the region to a table. Any prefix argument is passed on
|
|
|
|
to the converter, which uses it to determine the separator.

The width of columns is automatically determined by the table editor.
|
|
|

Sometimes a single field or a few fields need to carry more text,
|
2008-01-31 05:31:08 -05:00
|
|
|
leading to inconveniently wide columns. To limit@footnote{This feature

|
does not work on XEmacs.} the width of a column, one field anywhere in
|
|
|
|
the column must carry the string @samp{<N>} where @samp{N} is an integer
|
|
|
|
specifying the width of the column in characters. The next re-align
|
|
|
|
will then set the width of this column to no more than this value.

The table editor makes use of the Emacs @file{calc} package to
|
|
|
|
implement spreadsheet-like capabilities. Org-mode has two levels of
|
|
|
|
complexity for table calculations. On the basic level, tables do only
|
|
|
|
horizontal computations, so a field can be computed from other fields
|
|
|
|
@emph{in the same row}, and Org-mode assumes that there is only one
|
|
|
|
formula for each column. This is very efficient to work with and
|
|
|
|
enough for many tasks. On the complex level, columns and individual
|
|
|
|
fields can be named for easier referencing in formulas, individual
|
|
|
|
named fields can have their own formula associated with them, and
|
|
|
|
recalculation can be automated.

units degrees, fraction and symbolic modes off). However, the display

|
|
|
format has been changed to @code{(float 5)} to keep tables compact.

and @samp{S} to turn on degrees, radians, fraction and symbolic modes,

|
@cindex column formula
|
|
|
|
@cindex formula, for table column
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To apply a formula to a field, type it directly into the field,
|
|
|
|
preceded by an equal sign, like @samp{=$1+$2}. When you press
|
|
|
|
@key{TAB} or @key{RET} or @kbd{C-c C-c} with the cursor still in the
|
|
|
|
field, the formula will be stored as the formula for the current
|
|
|
|
column, evaluated and the current field replaced with the result. If
|
|
|
|
the field contains only @samp{=}, the previously stored formula for
|
|
|
|
this column is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For each column, Org-mode will remember the most recently used
|
|
|
|
formula. The information is stored in a special line starting with
|
|
|
|
@samp{#+TBLFM} directly below the table. When adding/deleting/moving
|
|
|
|
columns with the appropriate commands, the stored equations will be
|
|
|
|
modified accordingly. When a column used in a calculation is removed,
|
|
|
|
references to this column become invalid and will cause an error upon
|
|
|
|
applying the equation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Instead of typing an equation into the field, you may also use the
|
|
|
|
command @kbd{C-c =}. It prompts for a formula (with default taken
|
|
|
|
from the @samp{#+TBLFM:} line) and applies it to the current field. A
|
|
|
|
numerical prefix (e.g. @kbd{C-5 C-c =}) will apply it to that many
|
|
|
|
subsequent fields in the current column.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex recomputing table fields
|
|
|
|
To recompute all the fields in a line, use the command @kbd{C-c *}.
|
|
|
|
It re-applies all stored equations to the current row, from left to
|
|
|
|
right. With a @kbd{C-u} prefix, this will be done to every line in
|
|
|
|
the table, so use this command it you want to make sure the entire
|
|
|
|
table is up-to-date. @kbd{C-u C-c C-c} is another way to update the
|
|
|
|
entire table. Global updating does not touch the line(s) above the
|
|
|
|
first horizontal separator line, assuming that this is the table
|
|
|
|
header.

refer to a column as @samp{$Tot} instead of @samp{$6}.
|
|
|
|
@item ^
|
|
|
|
This row defines names for the fields @emph{above} the row. With such
|
|
|
|
a definition, any formula in the table may use @samp{$m1} to refer to
|
|
|
|
the value @samp{10}. Also, named fields can have their own formula
|
|
|
|
associated with them.
|
|
|
|
@item _

Similar to @samp{^}, but defines names for the fields in the row
|
|
|
|
@emph{below}.
|
|
|
|
@item $
|
|
|
|
Fields in this row can define @emph{parameters} for formulas. For

|
|
|
example, if a field in a @samp{$} row contains @samp{max=50}, then
|
|
|
|
formulas in this table can refer to the value 50 using @samp{$max}.
|
|
|
|
Parameters work exactly like constants, only that they can be defined on
|
|
|

a per-table basis. Changing a parameter and then recalculating the
|
|
|
|
table can be useful.
|

@item #
|
|
|
|
Fields in this row are automatically recalculated when pressing

Note that making a table field blank does not remove the formula
|
|
|
|
associated with the field - during the next recalculation the field
|
|
|
|
will be filled again. To remove a formula from a field, you have to
|
|
|
|
give an empty reply when prompted for the formula, or to edit the
|
|
|
|
@samp{#+TBLFM} line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@kindex C-c C-c
|
|
|
|
You may edit the @samp{#+TBLFM} directly and re-apply
|
|
|
|
the changed equations with @kbd{C-c C-c} in that line, or with the
|
|
|
|
normal recalculation commands in the table.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@kindex C-c '
|
|
|
|
@kindex C-c C-c
|
|
|
|
@kindex C-c C-q
|
|
|
|
@kindex C-c ?
|
|
|
|
In particular for large tables with many formulas, it is convenient to
|
|
|
|
use the command @kbd{C-c '} to edit the formulas of the current table
|
|
|
|
in a separate buffer. That buffer will show the formulas one per
|
|
|
|
line, and you are free to edit, add and remove formulas. Press
|
|
|
|
@kbd{C-c ?} on a @samp{$...} expression to get information about its
|
|
|
|
interpretation. Exiting the buffer with @kbd{C-c C-c} only stores the
|
|
|
|
modified formulas below the table. Exiting with @kbd{C-u C-c C-c}
|
|
|
|
also applies them to the entire table. @kbd{C-c C-q} exits without
|
|
|
|
installing the changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the evaluation of a formula leads to an error, the field content
|
|
|
|
becomes the string @samp{#ERROR}. If you would like see what is going
|
|
|
|
on during variable substitution and calculation in order to find a
|
2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|
|
|
bug, turn on formula debugging in the menu and repeat the calculation,
|
|
|
|
for example by pressing @kbd{C-c = @key{RET}} in a field.

Org-mode will recognize plain URL-like links and activate them as
|
2008-01-31 05:30:59 -05:00
|
|
|
clickable links. However, the general link format looks like this:
|
2008-01-31 05:30:30 -05:00
|
|
|
|
2008-01-31 05:29:47 -05:00

|
|
|
|
[[link][description]] @r{or alternatively} [[link]]

|
|
|
|
2008-01-31 05:30:56 -05:00
|
|
|
Once a link in the buffer is complete (all brackets present), Org-mode
|
|
|
|
will change the display so that @samp{description} is displayed instead
|
|
|
|
of @samp{[[link][description]]} and @samp{link} is displayed instead of
|
2008-01-31 05:29:47 -05:00
|
|
|
@samp{[[link]]}. Links will be highlighted in the face @code{org-link},
|
|
|
|
which by default is an underlined face. You can directly edit the
|
2008-01-31 05:30:56 -05:00
|
|
|
visible part of a link. Note that this can be either the @samp{link}
|
|
|
|
part (if there is not description) or the @samp{description} part. To
|
|
|
|
edit also the invisible @samp{link} part, use @kbd{C-c C-l} with the
|
|
|
|
cursor on the link.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you place the cursor at the beginning or just behind the end of the
|
|
|
|
displayed text and press @key{BACKSPACE}, you will remove the
|
|
|
|
(invisible) bracket at that location. This makes the link incomplete
|
2008-01-31 05:30:30 -05:00
|
|
|
and the internals are again displayed as plain text. Inserting the
|
2008-01-31 05:30:56 -05:00
|
|
|
missing bracket does hide the link internals again. To show the
|
|
|
|
internal structure of all links, use the menu entry
|
|
|
|
@code{Org->Hyperlinks->Literal links}.

If the link text does not look like a URL, links are considered to be
|
|
|
|
internal in the current file. Links such as @samp{[[My Target]]} or
|
|
|
|
@samp{[[My Target][Find my target]]} lead to a text search in the
|
|
|
|
current file. The link can be followed with @kbd{C-c C-o} when the
|
|
|
|
cursor is on the link, or with a mouse click (@pxref{Managing links}).
|
|
|
|
The preferred match for such a link is a dedicated target: The same
|
|
|
|
string in double angular brackets. Targets may be located anywhere,
|
|
|
|
often it is convenient to put them into a comment line, for example
|
2008-01-31 05:30:30 -05:00
|
|
|
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
# <<My Target>>
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
2008-01-31 05:29:47 -05:00
|
|
|
If no dedicated target exists, Org-mode will search for the words in the
|
|
|
|
link, often removing the need for a dedicated target. In the above
|
|
|
|
example the search would be for @samp{my target}. Links starting with a
|
|
|
|
star like @samp{*My Target} restrict the search to headlines. When
|
|
|
|
searching, Org-mode will first try an exact match, but then move on to
|
|
|
|
more and more lenient searches. For example, the link @samp{[[*My
|
|
|
|
Targets]]} will find any of the following:
|
2008-01-31 05:30:30 -05:00
|
|
|
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
** My targets
|
|
|
|
** TODO my targets are bright

|
|

2008-01-31 05:29:47 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To insert a link targeting a headline, in-buffer completion can be used.
|
|
|
|
Just type a star followed by a few optional letters into the buffer and
|
|
|
|
press @kbd{M-@key{TAB}}. All headlines in the current buffer will be
|
|
|
|
offered as completions. @xref{Managing links}, for more commands

|
|
|
|
Following a link pushes a mark onto Org-mode's own mark ring. You can

|
|
|
return to the previous position with @kbd{C-c &}. Using this command
|
|
|
|
several times in direct succession goes back to positions recorded

You can configure Org-mode to link any occurrences of certain target
|
|
|
|
names in normal text. So without explicitly creating a link, the text
|
|
|
|
connects to the target radioing its position. Radio targets are
|
|
|
|
enclosed by triple angular brackets. For example, a target
|
|
|
|
@samp{<<<My Target>>>} causes each occurrence of @samp{my target} in
|
|
|
|
normal text to become activated as a link. The Org-mode file is
|
|
|
|
scanned automatically for radio targets only when the file is first
|
|
|
|
loaded into Emacs. To update the target list during editing, press
|
|
|
|
@kbd{C-c C-c} with the cursor on or at a target.

turned on by default because of the inconsistencies this system suffers

from. To activate CamelCase words as links, you need to customize

the option @code{org-activate-links}. A CamelCase word then leads to a

text search such that @samp{CamelCaseLink} is equivalent to

Org-mode provides methods to create a link in the correct syntax, to
|
|
|
|
insert it into an org-mode file, and to follow the link.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

@cindex storing links
|
|
|
|
@item C-c l
|
|
|
|
Store a link to the current location. This is a @emph{global} command
|
|
|
|
which can be used in any buffer to create a link. The link will be
|
2008-01-31 05:30:56 -05:00
|
|
|
stored for later insertion into an Org-mode buffer (see below). For VM,
|
|
|
|
RMAIL, WANDERLUST, MH-E, GNUS and BBDB buffers, the link will point to
|
|
|
|
the current article/entry. For W3 and W3M buffers, the link goes to the
|
|
|
|
current URL. For Org-mode files, the current headline is targeted. For
|
|
|
|
any other files, the link will point to the file, with a search string
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Search Options}) pointing to the contents of the current line.
|
|
|
|
If there is an active region, the selected words will form the basis of
|
|
|
|
the search string. The key binding @kbd{C-c l} is only a suggestion -
|
|
|
|
see @ref{Installation and activation}.

@item C-c C-l
|
2008-01-31 05:29:47 -05:00
|
|
|
Insert a link. This prompts for a link to be inserted into the buffer.
|
|
|
|
You can just type a link, using text for an internal link, or one of the
|
|
|
|
link type prefixes mentioned in the examples above. Through completion,
|
2008-01-31 05:30:30 -05:00
|
|
|
all links stored during the current session can be accessed. The link
|
|
|
|
will be formatted as given in the variable @code{org-link-format} and
|
|
|
|
inserted into the buffer, along with a descriptive text. Note that you
|
|
|
|
don't have to use this command to insert a link. Links in Org-mode are
|
|
|
|
plain text, and you can type or paste them straight into the buffer.
|
|
|
|
By using this command, the links are automatically enclosed in double
|
|
|
|
brackets, and you will be asked for the optional descriptive text.

|
@cindex completion, of file names
|
|
|
|
@item C-u C-c C-l
|
|
|
|
When @kbd{C-c C-l} is called with a @kbd{C-u} prefix argument, a link to
|
|
|
|
a file will be inserted and you may use file name completion to select
|
|
|
|
the name of the file. The path to the file is inserted relative to the
|
|
|
|
directory of the current org file, if the linked file is in the current
|
|
|
|
directory or in a subdirectory of it. Otherwise an absolute path, if
|
|
|
|
possible with @samp{~/} for your home directory is used. You can force
|
|
|
|
an absolute path with two @kbd{C-u} prefixes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item C-c C-l @r{with cursor on existing link}
|
|
|
|
When the cursor is on an existing link, @kbd{C-c C-l} allows to edit the
|
|
|
|
link and description parts of the link.

Open link at point. This will launch a web browser for URLs (using
|
2008-01-31 05:30:30 -05:00
|
|
|
@command{browse-url-at-point}), run vm/mh-e/wanderlust/rmail/gnus/bbdb
|
|
|
|
for the corresponding links, and execute the command in a shell link.
|
|
|
|
When the cursor is on an internal link, this commands runs the
|
|
|
|
corresponding search. When the cursor is on a TAGS list in a headline,
|
|
|
|
it creates the corresponding TAGS view. If the cursor is on a time
|
|
|
|
stamp, it compiles the agenda for that date. Furthermore, it will visit
|
|
|
|
text files in @samp{file:} links with Emacs and select a suitable
|
|
|
|
application for non-text files. Classification of files is based on
|
|
|
|
file extension only. See option @code{org-file-apps}. If you want to
|
|
|
|
override the default application and visit the file with Emacs, use a
|
|
|
|
@kbd{C-u} prefix.

|
|
|
|
On links, @kbd{mouse-2} will open the link just like @kbd{C-c C-o}
|
|
|

would. Under Emacs 22, also @kbd{mouse-1} will follow a link.
|
|

commands following internal links, and by @kbd{C-c %}. Using this
|
|
|
|
command several times in direct succession moves through a ring of
|

File links can contain additional information to make Emacs jump to a

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
@item 255
|
|
|
|
Jump to line 255.
|
|
|
|
@item My Target
|
|
|
|
Search for a link target @samp{<<My Target>>}, or do a text search for
|
|
|
|
@samp{my target}, similar to the search in internal links, see
|
2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|
|
|
@ref{Internal links}.
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
@item *My Target
|
|
|
|
In an Org-mode file, restrict search to headlines.
|
|
|
|
@item /regexp/
|
|
|
|
Do a regular expression search for @code{regexp}. This uses the Emacs
|
|
|
|
command @code{occur} to list all matches in a separate window. If the
|
|
|
|
target file is in Org-mode, @code{org-occur} is used to create a
|
|
|
|
sparse tree with the matches.
|
|
|
|
@c If the target file is a directory,
|
|
|
|
@c @code{grep} will be used to search all files in the directory.
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a degenerate case, a file link with an empty file name can be used
|
|
|
|
to search the current file. For example, @code{<file:::find me>} does
|
|
|
|
a search for @samp{find me} in the current file, just like
|
|
|
|
@samp{[[find me]]} would.

|
Another way to create org entries with links to other files is through
|
|
|
|
the @emph{Remember} package by John Wiegley. @emph{Remember} lets you
|
|
|
|
store quick notes with little interruption of your work flow. See
|
|
|
|
@uref{http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/RememberMode} for more
|
|
|
|
information. The notes produced by @emph{Remember} can be stored in
|
|
|
|
different ways, and Org-mode files are a good target. Org-mode allows
|
|
|
|
to file away notes either to a default file, or directly to the
|
|
|
|
correct location in your Org-mode outline tree. The following
|
|
|
|
customization@footnote{The three autoload forms are only necessary if
|
|
|
|
@file{org.el} is not part of the Emacs distribution or an XEmacs
|
|
|
|
package.} will tell @emph{Remember} to use org files as target, and to
|
|
|
|
create annotations compatible with Org-mode links.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2008-01-31 05:30:56 -05:00
|
|
|
(setq org-directory "~/path/to/my/orgfiles/")
|
|

@cindex templates, for remember
|
|
|
|
In combination with Org-mode, you can use templates to generate
|
|
|
|
different types of remember notes. For example, if you would like to
|
|
|
|
use one template to create general TODO entries, and another one for
|
|
|
|
journal entries, you could use:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
(setq org-remember-templates
|
|
|
|
'((?t "* TODO %?\n %i\n %a" "~/org/TODO.org")
|
|
|
|
(?j "* %U %?\n\n %i\n %a" "~/org/JOURNAL.org")))
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
2008-01-31 05:30:30 -05:00
|
|
|
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
@noindent In these entries, the character specifies how to select the
|
2008-01-31 05:30:56 -05:00
|
|
|
template, the first string specifies the template, and the (optional)
|
|
|
|
second string specifies a default file (overruling
|
|
|
|
@code{org-default-notes-file}) as a target for this note.
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you call @kbd{M-x remember} to remember something, org will prompt
|
|
|
|
for a key to select the template and then prepare the buffer like
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
* TODO
|
|
|
|
<file:link to where you called remember>
|
|
|

|
@end example
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent See the variable @code{org-remember-templates} for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you are finished composing a note with remember, you have to press
|
2008-01-31 05:30:56 -05:00
|
|
|
@kbd{C-c C-c} to file the note away. The handler first prompts for a
|
|
|
|
target file - if you press @key{RET}, the value of
|
|
|
|
@code{org-default-notes-file} is used. Then the command offers the
|
|
|
|
headings tree of the selected file. You can either immediately press
|
|
|
|
@key{RET} to get the note appended to the file. Or you can use vertical
|
|
|
|
cursor motion (@key{up} and @key{down}) and visibility cycling
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
(@key{TAB}) to find a better place. Pressing @key{RET} or @key{left} or
|
|
|
|
@key{right} leads to the following result.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@multitable @columnfractions 0.2 0.1 0.7
|
|
|
|
@item @b{Cursor position} @tab @b{Key} @tab @b{Note gets inserted}
|
|
|
|
@item buffer-start @tab @key{RET} @tab as level 2 heading at end of file
|
|
|
|
@item on headline @tab @key{RET} @tab as sublevel of the heading at cursor
|
|
|
|
@item @tab @key{left} @tab as same level, before current heading
|
|
|
|
@item @tab @key{right} @tab as same level, after current heading
|
|
|
|
@item not on headline @tab @key{RET}
|
|
|
|
@tab at cursor position, level taken from context.
|
|
|
|
Or use prefix arg to specify level manually.
|
|
|
|
@end multitable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So a fast way to store the note is to press @kbd{C-c C-c @key{RET}
|
|
|
|
@key{RET}} to append it to the default file. Even shorter would be
|
|
|
|
@kbd{C-u C-c C-c}, which does the same without even showing the tree.
|
|
|
|
But with little extra effort, you can push it directly to the correct
|
|
|
|
location.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before inserting the text into a tree, the function ensures that the
|
|
|
|
text has a headline, i.e. a first line that starts with a @samp{*}.
|
|
|
|
If not, a headline is constructed from the current date and some
|
|
|
|
additional data. If the variable @code{org-adapt-indentation} is
|
|
|
|
non-nil, the entire text is also indented so that it starts in the
|
|
|
|
same column as the headline (after the asterisks).

Org-mode does not maintain TODO lists as a separate document. TODO
|
|
|
|
items are an integral part of the notes file, because TODO items
|
|
|
|
usually come up while taking notes! With Org-mode, you simply mark
|
|
|
|
any entry in a tree as being a TODO item. In this way, the
|
|
|
|
information is not duplicated, and the entire context from which the
|
|
|
|
item emerged is always present when you check.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Of course, this technique causes TODO items to be scattered throughout
|
|
|
|
your file. Org-mode provides methods to give you an overview over all
|
|
|
|
things you have to do.

|
|
|
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00

The same rotation can also be done ``remotely'' from the timeline and
|
|
|
|
agenda buffers with the @kbd{t} command key (@pxref{Agenda commands}).
|
|
|
|
@kindex C-c C-v

@cindex sparse tree, for TODO
|
|
|
|
@item C-c C-v
|
|
|
|
View TODO items in a @emph{sparse tree} (@pxref{Sparse trees}). Folds
|
|
|
|
the entire buffer, but shows all TODO items and the headings hierarchy
|
|
|
|
above them. With prefix arg, show also the DONE entries. With
|
|
|
|
numerical prefix N, show the tree for the Nth keyword in the variable
|

@code{org-todo-keywords}.
|
|
|
|
@kindex C-c a t
|

@item C-c a t
|
|
|
|
Show the global TODO list. This collects the TODO items from all
|
|
|
|
agenda files (@pxref{Agenda Views}) into a single buffer. The buffer is in
|
|
|
|
@code{agenda-mode}, so there are commands to examine and manipulate
|
|
|
|
the TODO entries directly from that buffer (@pxref{Agenda commands}).

@samp{CLOSED: [timestamp]} will be inserted just after the headline.

If you turn the entry back into a TODO item again through further

state cycling, that line will be removed again. In the timeline
|
|

(@pxref{Timeline}) and in the agenda (@pxref{Weekly/Daily Agenda}),

you can then use the @kbd{L} key to display the TODO items closed on

The default implementation of TODO entries is just two states: TODO and
|
|
|
|
DONE. You can, however, use the TODO feature for more complicated
|
|
|
|
things by configuring the variables @code{org-todo-keywords} and
|
|
|
|
@code{org-todo-interpretation}. Using special setup, you can even use
|
|
|
|
TODO keywords in different ways in different org files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that @i{tags} are another way to classify headlines in general and
|
|
|
|
TODO items in particular (@pxref{Tags}).

You can use TODO keywords to indicate different states in the process
|
2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|
|
|
of working on an item, for example:
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@lisp
|
|

|
|
|
|
@end lisp
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex completion, of TODO keywords
|
|
|
|
Changing these variables becomes only effective in a new Emacs session.
|
|
|
|
With this setup, the command @kbd{C-c C-t} will cycle an entry from
|
|
|
|
TODO to FEEDBACK, then to VERIFY, and finally to DONE. You may also
|
|
|
|
use a prefix argument to quickly select a specific state. For example
|
|
|
|
@kbd{C-3 C-c C-t} will change the state immediately to VERIFY.
|
|
|
|
If you define many keywords, you can use in-buffer completion (see
|
|
|
|
@ref{Completion}) to insert these words into the buffer.

|
@cindex types as TODO keywords
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The second possibility is to use TODO keywords to indicate different
|
|
|
|
types of action items. For example, you might want to indicate that
|
|
|
|
items are for ``work'' or ``home''. If you are into David Allen's
|
|
|
|
@emph{Getting Things DONE}, you might want to use todo types
|
|
|
|
@samp{NEXTACTION}, @samp{WAITING}, @samp{MAYBE}. Or, when you work
|
|
|
|
with several people on a single project, you might want to assign
|
|
|
|
action items directly to persons, by using their names as TODO
|
|
|
|
keywords. This would be set up like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@lisp
|
|
|
|
(setq org-todo-keywords '("Fred" "Sara" "Lucy" "Mike" "DONE")
|
|
|
|
org-todo-interpretation 'type)
|
|
|
|
@end lisp
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this case, different keywords do not indicate a sequence, but
|
|
|
|
rather different types. So it is normally not useful to change from
|
|
|
|
one type to another. Therefore, in this case the behavior of the
|
|
|
|
command @kbd{C-c C-t} is changed slightly@footnote{This is also true
|
|
|
|
for the @kbd{t} command in the timeline and agenda buffers.}. When
|
|
|
|
used several times in succession, it will still cycle through all
|
|
|
|
names. But when you return to the item after some time and execute
|
|
|
|
@kbd{C-c C-t} again, it will switch from each name directly to DONE.
|
|
|
|
Use prefix arguments or completion to quickly select a specific name.
|
|
|
|
You can also review the items of a specific TODO type in a sparse tree
|
|
|
|
by using a numeric prefix to @kbd{C-c C-v}. For example, to see all
|
|
|
|
things Lucy has to do, you would use @kbd{C-3 C-c C-v}. To collect
|
2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|
|
|
Lucy's items from all agenda files into a single buffer, you
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
would use the prefix arg as well when creating the global todo list:
|
|
|
|
@kbd{C-3 C-c t}.

|

|

|
|
|
It can be very useful to use different aspects of the TODO mechanism
|
|
|
|
in different files, which is not possible with the global settings
|
|
|
|
described above. For file-local settings, you need to add special
|
|
|
|
lines to the file which set the keywords and interpretation for that
|
|
|
|
file only. For example, to set one of the two examples discussed
|
|
|
|
above, you need one of the following lines, starting in column zero
|
|
|
|
anywhere in the file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
#+SEQ_TODO: TODO FEEDBACK VERIFY DONE
|
|
|
|
#+TYP_TODO: Fred Sara Lucy Mike DONE
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex Completion, of option keywords
|
|
|
|
@kindex M-@key{TAB}
|
|
|
|
@noindent To make sure you are using the correct keyword, type
|
|
|
|
@samp{#+} into the buffer and then use @kbd{M-@key{TAB}} completion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex DONE, final TODO keyword
|
|
|
|
Remember that the last keyword must always mean that the item is DONE
|
|
|
|
(you may use a different word, though). Also note that in each file,
|
|
|
|
only one of the two aspects of TODO keywords can be used. After
|
|
|
|
changing one of these lines, use @kbd{C-c C-c} with the cursor still
|
|
|
|
in the line to make the changes known to Org-mode@footnote{Org-mode
|
|
|
|
parses these lines only when Org-mode is activated after visiting a
|
|
|
|
file. @kbd{C-c C-c} with the cursor in a line starting with @samp{#+}
|
|
|
|
is simply restarting Org-mode, making sure that these changes will be
|
|
|
|
respected.}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to use very many keywords, for example when working with a
|
|
|
|
large group of people, you may split the names over several lines:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
#+TYP_TODO: Fred Sara Lucy Mike
|
|
|
|
#+TYP_TODO: Luis George Jules Jessica
|
|
|
|
#+TYP_TODO: Kim Arnold Peter
|
|
|
|
#+TYP_TODO: DONE

If you use Org-mode extensively to organize your work, you may end up
|
|
|
|
with a number of TODO entries so large that you'd like to prioritize
|
|
|
|
them. This can be done by placing a @emph{priority cookie} into the
|
|
|
|
headline, like this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
*** TODO [#A] Write letter to Sam Fortune
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
With its standard setup, Org-mode supports priorities @samp{A},
|
|
|
|
@samp{B}, and @samp{C}. @samp{A} is the highest priority. An entry
|
|
|
|
without a cookie is treated as priority @samp{B}. Priorities make a
|
|
|
|
difference only in the agenda (@pxref{Weekly/Daily Agenda}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @kbd
|
|
|
|
@kindex @kbd{C-c ,}
|
|
|
|
@item @kbd{C-c ,}
|
|
|
|
Set the priority of the current item. The command prompts for a
|
|
|
|
priority character @samp{A}, @samp{B} or @samp{C}. When you press
|
|
|
|
@key{SPC} instead, the priority cookie is removed from the headline.
|
|
|
|
The priorities can also be changed ``remotely'' from the timeline and
|
|
|
|
agenda buffer with the @kbd{,} command (@pxref{Agenda commands}).
|
|
|
|
|
|

@kindex S-@key{up}

Increase/decrease priority of current item. Note that these keys are

also used to modify time stamps (@pxref{Creating timestamps}).
|

Furthermore, these keys are also used by CUA-mode

A time stamp is a specification of a date (possibly with time) in a
|
|
|
|
special format, either @samp{<2003-09-16 Tue>} or @samp{<2003-09-16
|
|
|
|
Tue 09:39>}. A time stamp can appear anywhere in the headline or body
|
2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|
|
|
of an org-tree entry. Its presence allows entries to be shown on specific
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
dates in the agenda (@pxref{Weekly/Daily Agenda}). We distinguish:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @var
|
|
|
|
@cindex timestamp
|
|
|
|
@item TIMESTAMP
|
|
|
|
A simple time stamp just assigns a date/time to an item. In the
|
|
|
|
timeline and agenda displays, the headline of the entry will be shown
|
|
|
|
exactly on that date.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item TIMERANGE
|
|
|
|
@cindex timerange
|
|
|
|
Two time stamps connected by @samp{--} denote a time range. The
|
|
|
|
headline will be shown on the first and last day of the range, and on
|
|
|
|
any dates that are displayed and fall in the range. Here is an
|
|
|
|
example:
|
|

|
|

If a time stamp is preceded by the word @samp{DEADLINE:}, the task
|
|
|
|
(most likely a TODO item) is supposed to be finished on that date, and
|
|
|
|
it will be listed then. In addition, the compilation for @emph{today}
|
|
|
|
will carry a warning about the approaching or missed deadline,
|
|
|
|
starting @code{org-deadline-warning-days} before the due date, and
|
|
|
|
continuing until the entry is marked DONE. An example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
*** TODO write article about the Earth for the Guide
|
|
|

|
@item SCHEDULED
|
|
|
|
@cindex SCHEDULED keyword
|
|
|
|
If a time stamp is preceded by the word @samp{SCHEDULED:}, it means
|
|
|
|
you are planning to start working on that task on the given date. The
|
|
|
|
headline will be listed under the given date. In addition, a reminder
|
|
|
|
that the scheduled date has passed will be present in the compilation
|
|
|
|
for @emph{today}, until the entry is marked DONE. I.e., the
|
|
|
|
task will automatically be forwarded.

If you wish to implement a system to cross-correlate information, an
|
2008-01-31 05:30:30 -05:00
|
|
|
excellent way is to assign @i{tags} to headline. Org-mode has
|
2008-01-31 05:29:47 -05:00
|
|
|
extensive support for using tags.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Every headline can contain a list of tags, at the end of the headline.
|
|
|
|
Tags are normal words containing letters, numbers, @samp{_}, and
|
|
|
|
@samp{@@}. Tags must be preceded and followed by a single colon; like
|
|
|
|
@samp{:WORK:}. Several tags can be specified like @samp{:WORK:URGENT:}.

Org-mode finds that a certain headline matches the search criterion, it

will not check any sublevel headline, assuming that these likely also

match, and that the list of matches can become very long. However, this

may not be what you want, and you can influence inheritance and

@cindex completion, of tags
|
|

|
Enter new tags for the current headline. The minibuffer will prompt for
|
|
|
|
a list of tags and offer completion with respect to all other tags used
|
|
|
|
in the current buffer. Several tags, separated by colons, may be
|
|
|
|
specified at the prompt. After pressing @key{RET}, the tags will be
|
|
|
|
inserted and aligned to @code{org-tags-column}. When called with a
|
|
|
|
@kbd{C-u} prefix, all tags in the current buffer will be aligned to that
|

column, just to make things look nice. TAGS are automatically realigned

after promotion, demotion, and TODO state changes (@pxref{TODO basics}).

A @i{tags} search string can use Boolean operators @samp{&} for AND and
|
|
|
|
@samp{|} for OR. @samp{&} binds more strongly than @samp{|}.
|
|
|
|
Parenthesis are currently not implemented. A tag may also be preceded
|
|
|
|
by @samp{-}, to select against it, and @samp{+} is syntactic sugar for
|
|
|
|
positive selection. The AND operator @samp{&} is optional when @samp{+}
|
|
|
|
or @samp{-} is present. For example, @samp{+WORK-BOSS} would select all
|
|
|
|
headlines that are tagged @samp{:WORK:}, but discard those also tagged
|
|
|
|
@samp{:BOSS:}. The search string @samp{WORK|LAPTOP} selects all lines
|
|
|
|
tagged @samp{:WORK:} or @samp{:LAPTOP:}. The string
|
|
|
|
@samp{WORK|LAPTOP&NIGHT} requires that the @samp{:LAPTOP:} lines are
|
|
|
|
also tagged @samp{NIGHT}.

indeed how the dispatcher is accessed and list keyboard access to
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
commands accordingly. After pressing @kbd{C-c a}, an additional
|
|
|
|
letter is required to execute a command. The dispatcher offers the
|
|
|
|
following default commands:
|
|
|
|
@table @kbd
|
|
|
|
@item a
|
|
|
|
Create the calendar-like agenda (@pxref{Weekly/Daily Agenda}).

|
Create a list of all TODO items (@pxref{Global TODO list}).
|

|
|
@item m / M

Create a list of headlines matching a TAGS expression (@pxref{Matching

You can also define custom commands that will be accessible through

the dispatcher, just like the default commands. Custom commands are
|
|
|
|
global searches for tags and specific TODO keywords, or a variety of
|
|
|
|
sparse tree creating commands (@pxref{Sparse trees}). As sparse trees
|
|
|
|
are only defined for a single org-mode file, these latter commands act

|
on the current buffer instead of the list of agenda files.

If there are several such lines in a file, each specifies the category
|
2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|
|
|
for the text below it (but the first category also applies to any text
|
|
|
|
before the first CATEGORY line). The display in the agenda buffer looks
|

best if the category is not longer than 10 characters.

@subsection Time-of-Day Specifications
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Org-mode checks each agenda item for a time-of-day specification. The
|
|
|
|
time can be part of the time stamp that triggered inclusion into the
|
|
|
|
agenda, for example as in @w{@samp{<2005-05-10 Tue 19:00>}}. Time
|
|
|
|
ranges can be specified with two time stamps, like
|
|
|
|
@c
|
|
|
|
@w{@samp{<2005-05-10 Tue 20:30>--<2005-05-10 Tue 22:15>}}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the headline of the entry itself, a time(range) may also appear as
|
|
|
|
plain text (like @samp{12:45} or a @samp{8:30-1pm}. If the agenda
|
|
|
|
integrates the Emacs diary (@pxref{Calendar/Diary integration}), time
|
|
|
|
specifications in diary entries are recognized as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For agenda display, Org-mode extracts the time and displays it in a
|
|
|
|
standard 24 hour format as part of the prefix. The example times in
|
|
|
|
the previous paragraphs would end up in the agenda like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
8:30-13:00 Arthur Dent lies in front of the bulldozer
|
|
|
|
12:45...... Ford Prefect arrives and takes Arthur to the pub
|
|
|
|
19:00...... The Vogon reads his poem
|
|
|
|
20:30-22:15 Marwin escorts the Hitchhikers to the bridge
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the agenda is in single-day mode, or for the display of today, the
|
|
|
|
timed entries are embedded in a time grid, like
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
8:00...... ------------------
|
|
|
|
8:30-13:00 Arthur Dent lies in front of the bulldozer
|
|
|
|
10:00...... ------------------
|
|
|
|
12:00...... ------------------
|
|
|
|
12:45...... Ford Prefect arrives and takes Arthur to the pub
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
16:00...... ------------------
|
|
|
|
18:00...... ------------------

|

|
20:00...... ------------------

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Emacs contains the calendar and diary by Edward M. Reingold. The
|
|
|
|
calendar displays a three-month calendar with holidays from different
|
2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|
|
|
countries and cultures. The diary allows you to keep track of
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
anniversaries, lunar phases, sunrise/set, recurrent appointments
|
|
|
|
(weekly, monthly) and more. In this way, it is quite complementary to
|
|
|
|
Org-mode. It can be very useful to combine output from Org-mode with
|
|
|
|
the diary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to include entries from the Emacs diary into Org-mode's
|
|
|
|
agenda, you only need to customize the variable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@lisp
|
|
|
|
(setq org-agenda-include-diary t)
|
|
|
|
@end lisp
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent After that, everything will happen automatically. All diary
|
|
|
|
entries including holidays, anniversaries etc will be included in the
|
|
|
|
agenda buffer created by Org-mode. @key{SPC}, @key{TAB}, and
|
|
|
|
@key{RET} can be used from the agenda buffer to jump to the diary
|
2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|
|
|
file in order to edit existing diary entries. The @kbd{i} command to
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
insert new entries for the current date works in the agenda buffer, as
|
|
|
|
well as the commands @kbd{S}, @kbd{M}, and @kbd{C} to display
|
|
|
|
Sunrise/Sunset times, show lunar phases and to convert to other
|
|
|
|
calendars, respectively. @kbd{c} can be used to switch back and forth
|
|
|
|
between calendar and agenda.

@cindex priorities, of agenda items
|
|
|
|
The entries for each day are sorted. The default order is to first
|
|
|
|
collect all items containing an explicit time-of-day specification.
|
|
|
|
These entries will be shown at the beginning of the list, as a
|
|
|
|
@emph{schedule} for the day. After that, items remain grouped in
|
|
|
|
categories, in the sequence given by @code{org-agenda-files}. Within
|
|
|
|
each category, items are sorted by priority (@pxref{Priorities}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The priority is a numerical quantity composed of the base priority
|
|
|
|
(2000 for priority @samp{A}, 1000 for @samp{B}, and 0 for @samp{C}),
|
|
|
|
plus additional increments for overdue scheduled or deadline items.
|
|
|
|
|
|

Sorting can be customized using the variable

The global TODO list contains all unfinished TODO items, formatted and

|
|
|
collected into a single place.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @kbd
|
|
|
|
@kindex C-c a t
|
|
|
|
@item C-c a t
|
|
|
|
Show the global TODO list. This collects the TODO items from all
|
|
|
|
agenda files (@pxref{Agenda Views}) into a single buffer. The buffer is in
|
|
|
|
@code{agenda-mode}, so there are commands to examine and manipulate
|
|
|
|
the TODO entries directly from that buffer (@pxref{Agenda commands}).
|
|
|
|
@xref{Global TODO list}, for more information.
|
|
|

@kindex C-c a T
|
|
|
|
@item C-c a T
|
2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|
|
|
Like the above, but allows selection of a specific TODO keyword. You can
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
also do this by specifying a prefix argument to @kbd{C-c a t}. With a
|
|
|
|
@kbd{C-u} prefix you are prompted for a keyword. With a numeric
|
|
|
|
prefix, the Nth keyword in @code{org-todo-keywords} is selected.
|
|
|
|
@kindex r
|
|
|
|
The @kbd{r} key in the agenda buffer regenerates it, and you can give
|
|
|
|
a prefix argument to this command to change the selected TODO keyword,
|
|
|
|
for example @kbd{3 r}. If you often need a search for a specific
|
|
|
|
keyword, define a custom command for it (@pxref{Agenda dispatcher}).

(@pxref{Tags}), you can select headlines based on the tags that apply

|
@table @kbd
|

|
|
@kindex C-c a m
|
|
|
|
@item C-c a m
|
|
|
|
Produce a list of all headlines that match a given set of tags. The
|
|
|
|
command prompts for a selection criterion, which is a boolean logic
|
|
|
|
expression with tags, like @samp{+WORK+URGENT-WITHBOSS} or
|
|
|
|
@samp{WORK|HOME} (@pxref{Tags}). If you often need a specific search,
|
|
|

define a custom command for it (@pxref{Agenda dispatcher}).
|
|
|
|
@kindex C-c a M
|
|
|

The timeline is not really an agenda view, because it only summarizes

|
|
items from a single Org-mode file. But it also uses the agenda buffer
|
|
|
|
and provides similar commands, so we discuss it here. The timeline
|
|
|
|
shows all time-stamped items in a single Org-mode file (or the
|
2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|
|
|
selected part of it), in a @emph{time-sorted view}. The main purpose of
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
this command is to give an overview over events in a project.

Entries in the agenda buffer are linked back to the org file or diary
|
|
|
|
file where they originate. You are not allowed to edit the agenda
|
|
|
|
buffer itself, but commands are provided to show and jump to the
|
|
|
|
original entry location, and to edit the org-files ``remotely'' from
|
|
|
|
the agenda buffer. In this way, all information is stored only once,
|
2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|
|
|
removing the risk that your agenda and note files may diverge.

Org-mode documents can be exported into a variety of other formats. For
|
|
|
|
printing and sharing of notes, ASCII export produces a readable and
|
|
|
|
simple version of an Org-mode file. HTML export allows to publish a
|
|
|
|
notes file on the web, while the XML format provides a solid base for
|
|
|
|
exchange with a broad range of other applications. To incorporate
|
|
|
|
entries with associated times like deadlines or appointments into a
|
|
|
|
desktop calendar program like iCal, Org-mode can also produce extracts
|
|
|
|
in the iCalendar format. Currently Org-mode only supports export, not
|
|
|
|
import of these different formats.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When exporting, Org-mode uses special conventions to enrich the output
|
|
|
|
produced. @xref{Text interpretation}, for more details.

If you want to include HTML tags which should be interpreted as such,
|
|
|
|
mark them with a @samp{@@} like in @samp{@@<b>bold text@@</b>}.
|
|
|
|
Plain @samp{<} and @samp{>} are always transformed to @samp{<} and
|
|
|
|
@samp{>} in HTML export.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also give style information for the exported file. The
|
|
|
|
default specification can be configured through the option
|
|
|
|
@code{org-export-html-style}. If you want to use a file-local style,
|
|
|
|
you may use file variables, best wrapped into a COMMENT section at the
|
|
|
|
end of the outline tree. For example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
* COMMENT HTML style specifications
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Local Variables:
|
|
|
|
# org-export-html-style: " <style type=\"text/css\">
|
|
|
|
p @{font-weight: normal; color: gray; @}
|
|

|
|
|
|
# End: ***

@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Remember to execute @kbd{M-x normal-mode} after changing this to make
|
|
|
|
the new style visible to Emacs. This command restarts org-mode for the
|
|
|
|
current buffer and forces Emacs to re-evaluate the local variables
|
|
|
|
section in the buffer.

Org-mode contains an XML exporter that produces XOXO-style XML.

Some people like to use Org-mode for keeping track of projects, but
|
|
|
|
still prefer a standard calendar application for anniversaries and
|
|
|
|
appointments. In this case it can be useful to have deadlines and
|
|
|
|
other time-stamped items in Org-mode files show up in the calendar
|
|
|
|
application. Org-mode can export calendar information in the standard
|
|
|
|
iCalendar format.
|

|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|

Like @kbd{C-c C-x i}, but do this for all files in
|
|
|
|
@code{org-agenda-files}. For each of these files, a separate iCalendar
|
|
|
|
file will be written.
|
|
|
|
@kindex C-c C-x c
|
|
|
|
@item C-c C-x c
|
|
|
|
Create a single large iCalendar file from all files in
|
|
|
|
@code{org-agenda-files} and write it to the file given by
|
|
|
|
@code{org-combined-agenda-icalendar-file}.
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
How this calendar is best read and updated, depends on the application
|
|
|
|
you are using. For example, when using iCal under Apple MacOS X, you
|
|
|
|
could create a new calendar @samp{OrgMode} (the default name for the
|
|
|
|
calendar created by @kbd{C-c C-x c}, see the variables
|
|
|
|
@code{org-icalendar-combined-name} and
|
|
|
|
@code{org-combined-agenda-icalendar-file}). Then set Org-mode to
|
|
|
|
overwrite the corresponding file
|
|
|
|
@file{~/Library/Calendars/OrgMode.ics}. You may even use AppleScript
|
|
|
|
to make iCal re-read the calendar files each time a new version of
|
|
|
|
@file{OrgMode.ics} is produced. Here is the setup needed for this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex applescript, for calendar update
|
|
|
|
@lisp
|
|

The exporter recognizes special lines in the buffer which provide

additional information. These lines may be put anywhere in the file.

|
|
|
The whole set of lines can be inserted into the buffer with @kbd{C-c

|
|
|
|
correct is to type @samp{#+} and then use @kbd{M-@key{TAB}} completion
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Completion}).

Org-mode uses special lines in the buffer to define settings on a
|
|
|
|
per-file basis. These lines start with a @samp{#+} followed by a
|
|
|
|
keyword, a colon, and then individual words defining a setting. Several
|
|
|
|
settings words con be in the same line, but you can also have multiple
|
|
|
|
lines for the keyword. While these settings are described throughout
|
|
|
|
the manual, here is a summary. After changing any of those lines in the
|
|
|
|
buffer, press @kbd{C-c C-c} with the cursor still in the line to
|
|
|
|
activate the changes immediately. Otherwise they become effective only
|
|
|

when the file is visited again in a new Emacs session.

@item #+STARTUP:
|
|
|
|
This line sets options to be used at startup of org-mode, when an
|
|
|
|
Org-mode file is being visited. The first set of options deals with the
|
|
|
|
initial visibility of the outline tree. The corresponding variable for
|
|
|
|
global default settings is @code{org-startup-folded}, with a default
|
|
|
|
value @code{t}, which means @code{overview}.
|

Then there are options for aligning tables upon visiting a file. This
|
|

|
is useful in files containing narrowed table columns. The corresponding

variable is @code{org-startup-align-all-tables}, with a default value
|
|
|
|
@code{nil}.
|
|
|
|

corresponding variables are @code{org-hide-leading-stars} and
|
|
|
|
@code{org-odd-levels-only}, both with a default setting @code{nil}
|
|
|
|
(meaning @code{showstars} and @code{oddeven}).
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
hidestars @r{make all but one of the stars starting a headline invisible.}
|

The key @kbd{C-c C-c} has many purposes in org-mode, which are all
|
|
|
|
mentioned scattered throughout this manual. One specific function of

|
|
|
this key is to add @emph{tags} to a headline (@pxref{Tags}). In many
|
|
|
|
other circumstances it means something like @emph{Hey Org-mode, look

Some people find it noisy and distracting that the Org-mode headlines
|
2008-01-31 05:29:47 -05:00
|
|
|
are starting with a potentially large number of stars. For example
|
|
|
|
the tree from @ref{Headlines}:
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
* Top level headline
|
|
|
|
** Second level
|
|
|
|
*** 3rd level
|
|
|
|
some text
|
|
|
|
*** 3rd level
|
|
|
|
more text
|
|
|
|
* Another top level headline
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately this is deeply ingrained into the code of Org-mode and
|
|
|
|
cannot be easily changed. You can, however, modify the display in such
|
|
|
|
a way that all leading stars become invisible and the outline more easy
|
|
|
|
to read. To do this, customize the variable
|
|
|
|
@code{org-hide-leading-stars} like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@lisp
|
|
|
|
(setq org-hide-leading-stars t)
|
|
|
|
@end lisp
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
or change this on a per-file basis with one of the lines (anywhere in
|
|
|
|
the buffer)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
#+STARTUP: showstars
|
|
|
|
#+STARTUP: hidestars
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
2008-01-31 05:30:30 -05:00

|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
Press @kbd{C-c C-c} with the cursor in a @samp{STARTUP} line to activate
|
|
|
|
the modifications.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With stars hidden, the tree becomes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
* Top level headline
|
|
|
|
* Second level
|
|
|
|
* 3rd level
|
|
|
|
some text
|
|
|
|
* 3rd level
|
|
|
|
more text
|
|
|
|
* Another top level headline
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
Note that the leading stars are not truly replaced by whitespace, they
|
|
|
|
are only fontified with the face @code{org-hide} that uses the
|
|
|
|
background color as font color. If are are not using either white or
|
|
|
|
black background, you may have to customize this face to get the wanted
|
|
|
|
effect. Another possibility is to set this font such that the extra
|
|
|
|
stars are @i{almost} invisible, for example using the color
|
|
|
|
@code{grey90} on a white background.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Things become cleaner still if you skip all the even levels and use only
|
|
|
|
odd levels 1, 3, 5..., effectively adding two stars to go from one
|

@section Using org-mode on a tty
|

|
@cindex tty keybindings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Org-mode uses a number of keys that are not accessible on a tty. This
|
|
|
|
applies to most special keys like cursor keys, @key{TAB} and
|
|
|
|
@key{RET}, when these are combined with modifier keys like @key{Meta}
|
|
|
|
and/or @key{Shift}. Org-mode uses these bindings because it needs to
|
|
|
|
provide keys for a large number of commands, and because these keys
|
|
|
|
appeared particularly easy to remember. In order to still be able to
|
|
|
|
access the core functionality of Org-mode on a tty, alternative
|
|
|
|
bindings are provided. Here is a complete list of these bindings,
|
|
|
|
which are obviously more cumbersome to use. Note that sometimes a
|
|
|
|
work-around can be better. For example changing a time stamp is
|
|
|
|
really only fun with @kbd{S-@key{cursor}} keys. On a tty you would
|
|
|
|
rather use @kbd{C-c .} to re-insert the timestamp.

The confirmation is there to protect you from unwantingly execute

potentially dangerous commands. For example, imagine a link
|
|
|
|
@samp{[[shell:rm -rf ~/*][Google Search]]}. In an Org-mode buffer, this
|
|
|
|
command would look like @samp{Google Search}, but really it would remove
|
|
|
|
your home directory. If you wish, you can make it easier to respond to
|
|
|
|
the query by setting @code{org-confirm-shell-links} to @code{y-or-n-p}.
|
|
|
|
Then a single @kbd{y} keypress will be enough to confirm shell links.

2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|

there is a level jump. For example:

Since the org-mode agenda is much more powerful and can contain the
|
|
|
|
diary (@pxref{Calendar/Diary integration}), you should think twice
|
2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|
|
|
before deciding to do this. Integrating Org-mode information into the
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
diary is, however, possible. The following steps are necessary:
|
|
|
|
Autoload the function @command{org-diary} as shown above under
|
2008-01-31 04:51:19 -05:00
|
|
|
@ref{Installation and activation}. You also need to use @emph{fancy
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
diary display} by setting in @file{.emacs}:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@lisp
|
|
|
|
(add-hook 'diary-display-hook 'fancy-diary-display)
|
|
|
|
@end lisp
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then include the following line into your @file{~/diary} file, in
|
|
|
|
order to get the entries from all files listed in the variable
|
|
|
|
@code{org-agenda-files}:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
&%%(org-diary)
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
You may also select specific files with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
&%%(org-diary) ~/path/to/some/org-file.org
|
|
|
|
&%%(org-diary) ~/path/to/another/org-file.org
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
2008-01-31 05:31:08 -05:00
|
|
|
If you now launch the calendar and press @kbd{d} to display a diary, the
|
|
|
|
headlines of entries containing a timestamp, date range, schedule, or
|
|
|
|
deadline referring to the selected date will be listed. Just like in
|
|
|
|
Org-mode's agenda view, the diary for @emph{today} contains additional
|
|
|
|
entries for overdue deadlines and scheduled items. See also the
|
|
|
|
documentation of the @command{org-diary} function. Under XEmacs, it is
|
|
|
|
not possible to jump back from the diary to the org, this works only in
|
|
|
|
the agenda buffer.

Org-mode uses the calc package for implementing spreadsheet

|
functionality in its tables (@pxref{Table calculations}). Org-modes
|
|
|
|
checks for the availability of calc by looking for the function
|
|
|
|
@code{calc-eval} which should be autoloaded in your setup if calc has
|
|
|
|
been installed properly. As of Emacs 22, calc is part of the Emacs
|
|
|
|
distribution. Another possibility for interaction between the two
|

packages is using calc for embedded calculations. @xref{Embedded Mode,

|
2008-01-31 05:29:47 -05:00
|
|
|
names for natural constants or units. Instead of defining your own
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
constants in the variable @code{org-table-formula-constants}, install
|
|
|
|
the @file{constants} package which defines a large number of constants
|
|
|
|
and units, and lets you use unit prefixes like @samp{M} for
|
|

@samp{Mega} etc. You will need version 2.0 of this package, available

the function @code{constants-get}, which has to be autoloaded in your

Keybindings in Org-mode conflict with the @kbd{S-<cursor>} keys
|
|
|
|
used by CUA-mode (as well as pc-select-mode and s-region-mode) to
|
|
|
|
select and extend the region. If you want to use one of these
|
|
|
|
packages along with Org-mode, configure the variable
|
|
|
|
@code{org-CUA-compatible}. When set, Org-mode will move the following
|
|
|
|
keybindings in org-mode files, and in the agenda buffer (but not
|
|
|
|
during date selection).

Yes, these are unfortunately more difficult to remember. If you want
|
|
|
|
to have other replacement keys, look at the variable

@code{org-disputed-keys}.

Org mode cooperates with remember, see @ref{Remember}.

@file{Remember.el} is not part of Emacs, find it on the web.

Here is a list of things that should work differently, but which I
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
have found too hard to fix.

If a table field starts with a link, and if the corresponding table
|
|
|
|
column is narrowed (@pxref{Narrow columns}) to a width too small to
|
|
|
|
display the link, the field would look entirely empty even though it is
|
|
|
|
not. To prevent this, Org-mode throws an error. The work-around is to
|
|
|
|
make the column wide enough to fit the link, or to add some text (at
|
|
|
|
least 2 characters) before the link in the same field.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
Narrowing table columns does not work on XEmacs, because the
|
|
|
|
@code{format} function does not transport text properties.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
2008-01-31 04:30:03 -05:00
|
|
|
Text in an entry protected with the @samp{QUOTE} keyword should not
|
|
|
|
autowrap.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
When the application called by @kbd{C-c C-o} to open a file link fails
|
|
|
|
(for example because the application does not exits or refuses to open
|
|
|
|
the file), it does so silently. No error message is displayed.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
Plain list items should be able to hold a TODO item. Unfortunately this
|
|
|
|
has so many technical problems that I will only consider this change for
|
|
|
|
the next major release (5.0).
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
The remote-editing commands in the agenda buffer cannot be undone with
|
|
|
|
@code{undo} called from within the agenda buffer. But you can go to
|
|
|
|
the corresponding buffer (using @key{TAB} or @key{RET} and execute
|
|
|
|
@code{undo} there.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
Recalculating a table line applies the formulas from left to right.
|
|
|
|
If a formula uses @emph{calculated} fields further down the row,
|
|
|
|
multiple recalculation may be needed to get all fields consistent.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
You can only make a single word boldface or italic. To emphasize
|
|
|
|
several words in a row, each must have the emphasize markers, like in
|
|
|
|
@samp{*three* *bold* *words*}.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
The exporters work well, but could be made more efficient.

John Wiegley wrote @file{emacs-wiki.el} and @file{planner.el}. The
|
|
|
|
development of Org-mode was fully independent, and both systems are
|
|
|
|
really different beasts in their basic ideas and implementation details.
|
|
|
|
However, I have later looked at John's code and learned from his
|
|
|
|
implementation of (i) links where the link itself is hidden and only a
|
|
|
|
description is shown, and (ii) popping up a calendar to select a date.
