Consider a structure like this:

Currently, if I export the "third" sub-tree to html (via "C-c @
C-x C-e h"), then "third" becomes an <h1> heading, but "fourth"
becomes an <h5> heading. I would rather it were <h2>, i.e. that
all heading levels be relative to the root of the sub-tree. Is
there any way to achieve this?
This was not possible so far, but this commit measures the first
headline of the subtree and applies an offset to all level values.

I can't sort the table by that column. If I change the dates to
active, then sorting (by time) works fine. Is this behavior
intentional?
Yes, intentional, because the same routine also does sorting of
entries and should prefer active time stamps. However, I realize that
we can still look for an inactive time stamp when no active one can be
found. This is what this commit implements.

I like to schedule items I'm supposed to be working on, so I like
when I complete a task that the next sibling task gets the
schedule from the previous one. This implements that kind of
workflow with the org-depend contrib package.
I've also added a few methods to org.el to make working with
schedules & deadlines easier.
When there were multiple cookies in a headline, the counting would be
double. Also the hook got called always, even if no cookie was
present.
Fixed now.
Turns out a number of people set their variables too late so that
activating dependencies does not work correctly. We now double-check
in the mode hook that everything is in order.....
This causes problems in tables.
You have now two ways to make verbatim things. Use ~xyz~ or =xyz=
depending on whether ~ or = might occur in the string......
When org-depend.el is loaded, running the blocker hook will already
toggle a tag. However, when dimming the agenda, we do not want that.

The id for the footnotes div is now called "text-footnotes", not
"footnotes-text", to be more consistent with other divs used in
Org-mode.

Using `C-c C-x C-b' in a headline now again toggles all checkboxes

this function.
Reported by Chris Randle.
This commit adds a key (`C-c C-x o') to toggle the ORDERED property of
a tree. And it adds menu entries for doing this, which also reflect
the current state of the tree.
When a line now contains several statistics cookies, all of them will

I have changed my mind and turned off shift-selection support again by
default, because it causes confusing behavior, sometimes calling an Org
command and sometimes doing shift selection. The default behavior is
now:
- in special contexts, execute Org commands
- outside special contexts, create an error that will point users to
configure the variable `org-support-shift-select'. Hopefully that
will make them read the docstring and then decide for themselves
what to do.
Emacs 23 introduces `shift-selection-mode', and even turns it on by
default. Therefore, it is fair to assume that users of Emacs 23 will
expect to be able to select a region by holding down shift will moving
the cursor. This conflicts with the use of shifted cursor keys in
Org-mode for other purposes, in particular to "change the item under
the cursor", like it is done for time stamps, item bullet types, TODO
keywords and priorities.
This commit tries to support `shift-selection-mode' as much as possible,
while retaining these valuable commands keys for Org-mode. The
following things are changed:
1. The range of contexts where Org's commands do act is reduced.
- S-up and S-down no longer jump to the previous and next plain list
item - you can use the paragraph commands C-up and C-down for this
quite well.
- S-left and S-right only change the bullet type of a plain list
item when the cursor is *exactly* on the bullet, not just anywhere
in the item line.
2. When a S-cursor key is used outside a special context, a region is
started or extended.
3. When a region has already been started, it will be continue to
extend even if the S-cursor keys move the cursor into a special
context.
4. If you want S-cursor selection to work in headlines as well, you
can set the variable `org-support-shift-select' to
`even-in-headlines'. Then you need to rely on `C-c C-t' to set
TODO keywords, and on `C-c ,' to set priorities.
If you want everything to behave the way it was, set
`org-support-shift-select' to nil.
There were two bugs:
1. Timestamp processing did not honor the setting of
`org-export-with-timestamps' in the text before the first
headline.
2. When `org-export-with-timestamps' was nil, time stamps were removed
even in tables. I think this is incorrect, so in tables, time
stamps are now never removed.
The variables =org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date=,
=org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date=, and
=org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date= make it possible to
exclude TODO entries which have this kind of planning info
associated with them. This is most useful for people who
schedule everything, and who use the TODO list mainly to find
things that are not yet scheduled. Thomas Morgan pointed out
that also the tags-todo search may serve exactly this
purpose, and that it might be good to have a way to make
these variables also apply to the tags-todo search. I can
see than, but could not convince myself to make this the
default. A new variable must be set to make this happen:
=org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options=.
Formulas can now refer to fields and regions in other tables, be it in
the same file or even in different files.
This also opens the door for more interesting R support, because
arbitrary tables in a file can now be accessed with appropriate
commands.
Finally, this commit also introduces a convenience for creating
references in tables. For the purpose of references, it will always
be *assumed* that there is another hline at the end if each table. So
for example in a table that has only a single hline, to separate
header from data, you can now access all of column two with
"@I$2..@II$2".
William Henney writes:
If a heading has tags, then that heading's time summary
overlay (shown by C-c C-x C-d) is displayed using the
org-tag face. This looks a bit strange. Is it intended? It
is especially noticeable in my case, since I have my tags
shown in a smaller font.
This is cause by the fact that we use the `secondary-selection' face
here which only highlights but inherits the rest from what is below.
The idea was that these clock times should have the same color as the
headline they belong to, but this idea is defeated when a line has tags
with a very different face.
This commit introduces a separate face for this purpose, so that users
can customize it.
The conversion commands `C-c -' and `C-c *' are now better
behaved and therefore more useful, I hope.
If there is an active region, these commands will act on the
region, otherwise on the current line.
- C-c - :: This command turns headings or normal lines into
items, or items into normal lines. When there is a
region, everything depends on the first line of the
region:
- if it is a item, turn all items in the region into
normal lines.
- if it is a headline, turn all headlines in the region
into items.
- if it is a normal line, turn all lines into items.
- special case: if there is no active region and the
current line is an item, cycle the bullet type of the
current list.
- C-c * :: This command turns items and normal lines into
headings, or headings into normal lines. When there is
a region, everything depends on the first line of the
region:
- if it is a item, turn all items in the region into
headlines.
- if it is a headline, turn all headlines in the region
into normal lines.
- if it is a normal line, turn all lines into headlines.
This allows you to use org-remember in any gnus buffer - even when
not on a location that will create a usable link. Instead of
failing with the error "Not on a group" just create a remember
note with no link instead.
This makes org-remember more user-friendly - we don't have to
change buffers to a non-gnus buffer to create a remember note.
Matt Lundin writes:
I'm have a *minor* issue to report. It occurs when I export
an org file with footnotes to LaTeX. Specifically, it has to
do with the combination of American style quotation marks
and footnotes.
According to many American manuals of style, quotation marks
are to be placed after a sentence ending period if the
quoted passage is at the end of the sentence. E.g.
,----
| Here is "a quote."
|
| not
|
| Here is "a quote".
`----
When I use American style quotation in conjuction with a
footnote, the exporter does not convert the closing quote
marks into a two single quotation marks (i.e., LaTeX smart
quotes).
Thus, the following source snippet:
,----
| This is a footnote "with a quote."[fn:sample] And here
| is another footnote "with a quote".[fn:another]
|
| [fn:sample] Here is the sample footnote.
|
| [fn:another] Another footnote.
`----
Becomes
,----
| This is a footnote ``with a quote."\footnote{Here is
| the sample footnote. } And here is another footnote ``with
| a quote''.\footnote{Another footnote. }
`----
Notice the double quotation mark (rather than two single
apostrophes) at the end of the first sentence. Notice also
the correct quotation mark format appears in the second
sentence, where the period comes after the quotation mark.
This commit addresses this issue by checking of text
protection is off not after the quotation mark, but before.
The directory used for attachments to an entry is by default chosen
automatically, with a name derived from the entry ID to make sure it
is unique.
However, in some cases it may be better to assign a user-chosen
directory to and entry, to be used for attachments. This commits
implements this change. See the documentation changes for information
on how things work.
Thanks to Jason Jackson for pushing this part.
The second change made bu this commit is that it is now possible to
inherit the attachment directory from a parent, so that an entire
project subtree can use a single directory.
Two new variables, `org-export-html-inline-image-extensions' and
`org-export-latex-inline-image-extensions' now define the file
extensions that will be considered for inlining images. The default
for HTML is png, jpg, jpeg, and gif files. The default for LaTeX is
png, jpg, jpeg, and pdf, assuming processing with `pdflatex'.
For LaTeX export, this can lead to conflicts for links that point
to non-image PDF files. To avoid that such a link will be inlined by
accident, always give a description text for such a link, one that is
not equal to the path.
The special first column in some tables was not removed for LaTeX
export. This bug was probably introduces recently, while trying to
fix problems with special characters in LaTeX tables.
Export is now working again properly.

When a property for column view is supposed to contain a date, not

is now improved.

In fact, the number of duplicate lines exactly matches the number of

function perhaps searching the archive file once for each of the
agenda files and then displaying the results as separate lines?
Indeed, when putting together the list o archive files to search,
Org did not check for duplicates. This commit implements
uniquification of the list.
The end of the last line of a colon example is not protected, and this

Lines preceded by a colon are treated as fixed-width examples.
This commit improves the moment when the protection of these lines
happens during preprocessing. And it enforces that a space must
follow the colon for the line to be treated in this way.

The variable `org-blank-before-new-entry' regulates if Org should
insert a blank line before a new entry, when making a new headline or
plain list item. Up to now, the possible values in each case where t
or nil, i.e. unconditionally do or don't insert a blank line.
Now each setting can also be `auto'. If this is the case, Org will
look if the current entry, of which the command creates a sibling,
does have a blank line before it. If yes, it will also make a blank
line. If not, it will not. This seems so useful that I have made
this behavior the default.

I've been bad and let a couple of my overhead tasks slip past
their deadline dates.
*** TODO Q1 Accounting: October

- CLOSING NOTE [2008-01-30 Wed 12:18]
This task does not show up on my agenda anymore (probably because
the year changed). If I change the deadline entry to this:
DEADLINE: <2008-11-30 Mon>
then it shows up as 37 days late. I'm bringing this up as soon as
I noticed it just so people are aware of this. I have a few of
these tasks that just dropped off my agenda (probably at the
beginning of the year).
This interesting bug seems only to happen when the repeat is yearly,
and after crossing the December 31st year boundary. It was a sorting
issue - Org-mode (in the function `org-closest-date') computes two
dates that are consistent with the repeater, one before and one after
the target date. When the computation is done with a preference for
the past date (as it happens for deadlines), it should use the earlier
date. In fact, it did choose "n1", assuming that it was the earlier
one. This assumption does hold for daily, weekly and monthly
repeaters, but not for yearly ones.
This commits make sure that "n1" always holds the earlier date, so
that the logic at the end of the function works again.
This commit removes some of the stuff that was specific for the LaTeX
exporter, and falls back to the default configuration that works for
all backends.
Here is what the commit does:
- The variable `org-export-latex-remove-from-headlines' is now
obsolete. Instead, also LaTeX export now responds to the settings
in the variables org-export-with-todo-keywords',
`org-export-with-priority', and `org-export-with-tags' and in the
corresponding OPTION settings.
- Removal of time stamps and related keywords now already happens in
the preprocessor, so that it will be perfectly the same for all
backends.
- The list functions have been extended to accept an additional
parameter list, to overrule the default setting for a particular
list function. This is used to make the checkbox appearance in
LaTeX configurable, through the new variable
`org-export-latex-list-parameters'.
Column view could fail when the agenda contains entries from the Diary
which start with a *. This commit fixes this problems by making
`org-entry-properties' check for an org-mode buffer.
An agenda series can have a set of global options. Matt Lundin
reported that these options to not work completely. There reason was
that, when calling `org-finalize-agenda' for a series, the dynamic
binding of those options was already off again. This commit makes
sure that these bindings are available also during this final step.
When using "C-u C-u M-x org-remember RET" in order to jump to the last
storage location, the code failed to show the matching entry. This
commit makes sure that at least the headline of the last remember note
is made visible.
With the "* Footnotes" heading as last line in the buffer, footnote
insertion did not position new definitions correctly. This commit
fixes the problem.
Reported by Matt Lundin.
This commit adds an option to org-w3m, to decide whether the mark
should be deactivated after copying the region.
New version from author Andy Steward.
Sorting footnotes used to be almost like normalization, in that all
footnotes would be collected into a single location. Now sorting
respects the setting of `org-footnote-section'. If that is nil,
sorting will actually move each footnote into the outline node of its
first reference.
This commit add a new face for footnote labels, and activates footnote
labels for mouse clicks and for `C-c C-o', to jump to the
corresponding reference or definition.
This patch implements fully automatic creation of unique labels for
footnotes, which is also turned on as the default setting. The
automatic labels look like [fn:1], [fn:2], etc, using the first
available unused number.
The commit introduces a new variable, `org-footnote-auto-label' with a
number of different options ranging from no auto creation (prompting
the user for a label) to fully automatic creation.
Also, the commit introduces new #+STARTUP options that can be used to
select these settings on a per-file basis.
There was a bug with documents with more than one anonymous footnotes,
which would all end up to reference the first one only. The patch
fixes this problem.
Setting org-footnote-section to nil now causes definitions to be
inserted at the end of the current outline node, instead of into a
special node names "Footnotes".
A new perl program, list-hooks.pl, now extracts the full list of hook
and function variables in Org, for inclusion into Worg's org-hooks.org.
Also, add a docstring to a few hooks that did not have one.
This patch introduces more hooks for preprocessing the export buffer,
at various strategic moments. See the Changes.org file for a
description of the hooks.
Org-mode allows multiple references to the same footnote. However,
the HTML exporter cannot use the same name for all these references,
because names have to be unique. This patch appends numbers to
footnote reference names, to make sure they remain unique.
The dark side of this patch means that from the footnote definition,
there is only a single link, to the first reference of the note.
However, in a browser you can always press BACK to go back after
jumping to a footnote definition.
This patch adds support functionality for the new code references. It
makes sure that `C-c C-o' will follow a code reference correctly. It
also extends the command org-store-link to actually create a new code
reference cookie when used in a source code temporary buffer created
with "C-c '". The new link will be stored, so that it can be inserted
with `C-c C-l'. When inserting such a link, no description will be
prompted for, because these coderef links should best not have a
description part.
This patch covers the three main backends, html, latex, and ascii. It
adds the code to make sure the coderef links identified by the
preprocessing will be implemented correctly when a backend does its work.
This patch covers the much of the new line numbering and code line
referencing.
We introduce a new function with the longish name
`org-export-replace-src-segments-and-examples'. It is an extension of
the earlier `org-export-replace-src-segments'. It now also covers
EXAMPLE blocks, not only source code blocks. This was necessary to
allow line numbering also in EXAMPLE blocks.
Both clock types now accept a string with options which will be given
in the BEGIN line. Options currently recognized are -n, +n, and -r.
A bit unsatisfactory about this patch may be that LaTeX-specific code
is now defined in org-exp.el, maybe eventually we want to think of a
way to move this code back to org-export-latex.el. Really, all it
does is adding line numbers and wrapping them into a verbatim
environment.
Besides adding line numbers in a backend specific way, this patch also
adds code to search or special cookies in source code, like "((1))" or
"((name))". These are labels that can be addressed by links as
references to specific line in source code.
This patch adds a new constant with javascript functions. Each
exported HTML file will contain these definitions. Also, we add to
the default export CSS style a new class, code-highlighted, which will
be used to highlight lines in code whenever the mouse overs over a
link to this line.
The remember handler was creating a buffer with `find-file-noselect',
and then trying to find it back using `get-file-buffer'. Apparently
there are situations where this can fail, to we now use directly the
buffer returned by `find-file-noselect'.
In a recent patch we have introduced names for all fields in the last
row. This has lead to a bug, that Org thinks there might be a field
formula associated with those fields. Now we check if there really is
one, and only in this case ask to overwrite it with a column formula.
Report by Henry Atting.
The dynamic block capturing column view has an :id parameter that does
select from where the column view should be captured. The routine
searching for this entry so far only searched the current file, now it
uses the full ID API to find the entry also in another file.
Furthermore, a value "file:path/to/file.org" will capture the global
column view of that file.
Report by Francois Lagarde.
1. When LaTeX export was done with a time-stamped file, a format
error in the timestamp format caused the output file to not
have the % comment in front of the time string. As this line
is early in the file, a LaTeX error would result.
2. Replacement of some special characters could fail. Strangely
this shows up only in XEmacs, but it still is a bug.
Both bugs were reported by Hugh Daschbach.
When refiling to the current file, the completion commands do not show
the file name. This was broken because I had switched from comparing
truenames to normal names. Now I am using expanded names, this is fast
and works well.
After the failed implementation of `@0' as a reference for the last
line, this is a second attempt to provide such references. I would
have liked to allow `@last' as the reference, that would have been
beautiful. However, too many regular expressions directly search for
`@' followed by a number, so this is too hard to implement.
Therefore, I am now turning the last row into a row of implicitly
named fields. From now on, $LR1, $LR2,... can be used to refer to
fields in the last row. These names may also appear on the left hand
side of formulas.
A prefix argument to the `org-agenda-show' command is now interpreted
to make sure the entire entry is made visible in the other window, not
only the headline.
Updating agenda lines did display tags incorrectly, because it used
the list of tags available as a property to remake the list. However,
that list contains down-cased versions of the tags, because all the
filtering in the agenda does ignore case in tags.
This patch implements a fresh scan for the tags each time a line is
updated, and in this way fixes the problem. It also reverses a
previous attempt to fix a similar problem.
