*** Macros for export
Macro processing for export has been enhanced:
- You can use arguments in a macro, for example
@ -27,60 +28,168 @@ Macro processing for export has been enhanced:
#+end_src
which would turn ={{{hello(world)}}}= into =Greet the world: Hello world=
- The macro value can be an emacs-lisp for to be evaluated at the
time of export:
#+begin_src org
,#+macro: datetime (eval (format-time-string "$1"))
#+end_src
- More built-in default macros:
- date(FORMAT_TIME_STRING) :: Time/Date of export
- time(FORMAT_TIME_STRING) :: Same as date
- modification-time(FORMAT_TIME_STRING) :: Last modification of file
- input-file :: Name of the input file
{{{date}}} {{{filename}}}
The new built-in macros have been requested by Daniel Clemente

*** Start Agenda with log mode active
Set the new option =org-agenda-start-with-log-mode= to have
log mode turned on from the start. Or set this option for
specific custom commands.
Thanks to Beanjamin Andresen for a patch to this effect.

*** Tables in LaTeX without centering
Set the variable `org-export-latex-tables-centered' to nil if you
prefer tables not to be horizontally centered. Note that
longtable tables are always centered.
*** Source file publishing
It is now easy to publish the Org sources along with, for
example, HTML files. In your publishing project, replace
: :publishing-function org-publish-org-to-html
with
: :publishing-function (org-publish-org-to-html org-publish-org-to-org)
: :plain-source t
: :htmlized-source t
to get both the plain org file and an htmlized version that
looks like your editing buffer published along with the HTML
exported version.
*** LaTeX: TODO markup configurable
*** Checkboxes: recursive statistics
Patch by Richard Klinda.
Check if this ws John's request too.
The markup for TODO keywords in LaTeX export is now configurable
using the variable =org-export-latex-todo-keyword-markup=.
*** Link completion for files and bbdb names
*** org-export-html-table-use-header-tags-for-first-column
Org now has a general mechanism how modules can provide enhanced
support (for example through completion) when adding a link. For
example, when inserting a link with =C-c C-l=, you can now type
=file:= followed by =RET= to get completion support for inserting
a file. After entering =bbdb:= and =RET=, a completion interface
will allow to complete names in the BBDB database. These are the
only ones implemented right now, but modules that add a link type
=xyz:= can simple define =org-xyz-complete-link= that should
return the full link with prefix after aiding the used to create
the link. For example, if you have =http= links that you have to
insert very often, you could define a function
=org-http-complete-link= to help selecting the most common ones.
*** contrib/lisp/org-special-blocks.el
*** Accessibility improvements for HTTP tables
Contributed by Chris Gray
When exporting tables to HTML, Org now adds =scope= attributes to
all header fields, in order to support screen readers.
Setting the variable
=org-export-html-table-use-header-tags-for-first-column= will
request using =<th>= instead of =<td>= also in the entire first
column, so that also row information can be scoped. This was
triggered by a request by Jan Buchal, and as usually Sebastian
Rose came up with the right implementation.
*** org-ical-timezone
*** New contributed package /org-special-blocks.el/
The package turns any "undefined" =#+begin_...= blocks into LaTeX
environments for LaTeX export, and into =<div>= tags for HTML
export.
Thanks to Chris Gray for this contribution.
*** Timezone information in iCalendar files
The timezone information in iCalendar files is now written in the
correct format, and can be set in the variable
=org-ical-timezone=. This variable is initialized from the =TZ=
environment variable.
*** ASCII export to buffer
requested by Samuel Wales
*** Push exported stuff to kill ring
*** Recursive TODO statistics
*** LOG_INTO_DRAWER property
Requested by Daniel J. Sinder
*** Many new hooks
*** Macros with arguments, and a few new default macros
*** New relod key C-c C-x !
ASCII export has now the same command variations as the other
export backends, for example exporting to a temporary buffer
instead of a file.
The was a request by Samuel Wales.
*** Push exported stuff to kill ring
All exporters now push the produced material onto the kill-ring
in Emacs, and also to the external clipboard and the primary
selection to make it easy to paste this under many circumstances.
*** More flexibility about placing logging notes.
Logging into a drawer can now also be set for individual
subtrees using the =LOG_INTO_DRAWER= property.
Requested by Daniel J. Sinder
*** New reload key
Reloading Org has moved to a new key, =C-c C-x !=, and is now
also available in the agenda.
*** Agenda speed optimizations
Triggered by reports from Eric S Fraga
Depending on circumstances, construction the agenda has become a
lot faster.
Triggered by Eric S Fraga's reports about using Org on a slow
computer like a netbook.
*** Properties to disambiguate statistics
When an entry has both check boxes and TODO children, it is not
clear what kind of statistics a cookie should show You can now use
the =COOKIE_DATA= property to disambiguate, by giving it a value
"todo" or "checkbox".
*** Checkboxes and TODO items: recursive statistics
Setting the variable =org-hierarchical-checkbox-statistics= to
=nil= will make statistics cookies count all checkboxes in the
lit hierarchy below it.
Setting the variable =org-hierarchical-todo-statistics= to
=nil= will do the same for TODO items.
To turn on recursive statistics only for a single subtree, add the
word "recursive" to the =COOKIE_DATA= property. Note that you
can have such a property containing both "todo" or "checkbox" for
disambiguation, and the word "recursive", separated by a space
character.
The change for checkboxes was a patch by Richard Klinda.
*** New operators for column view
Thanks to Mikael Fornius for a patch to this effect.
Column view has new operators for computing the minimum,
maximum, and mean of property values.
Thanks to Mikael Fornius for a patch to this effect.
*** New face =org-agenda-date-today=
The date that is today can now be highlighted in the agenda by
customizing the face =org-agenda-date-today=.
Thanks to Dmitri Minaev for a patch to this effect.
