Many agenda commands split the current window, which is not allowed on
a frame containing a dedicated window.
Therefore, we now just kill the frame by hand when exiting the agenda.
priority
So far the headline had to match the one specified in the template
exactly, except for tags. Now a TODO keyword and a priority can be
added, and the headline will still be found.

When odd levels are being used, change the interpretation of a

org.el (org-offer-links-in-entry): Don't use "Select link" as a prompt
in the temporary window.
org-agenda.el (org-agenda-bulk-mark): Use a slightly soberer prefix for

This commit sets up such a variable, and also a hook.

The category can contain a bracket link. This commit makes sure that
the prefix in the agenda looks OK if there is a link, and that the
link is accessible with `C-c C-o 0'.

There was an issue that lines starting with a space followed by #
would be protected when importing the file, but not unprotected when
formatting the example. The reason for this issue is that we recently
changed to protect indented #+ lines.

Indeed, and this commit pops `org-table-last-alignment' if the first
column has been removed by `org-table-clean-before-export'. The same
problem must have caused a one-off error when setting the alignment in
LaTeX tables, bu it seems nobody has noticed this so far. Anyway,
also this is fixed now.

The width and alignment in table columns can be set with a cookie like
"<10>" or "<r>" or "<r10>". In order to keep Org from exporting such
lines, the first column of a line can contain only "/". However, for
convenience, this commit implements a special case: If the entire row
contains only sch markers, the line will automatically be discarded
during export.

The new keys are b and f. This used to be on the cursor keys, but
they do now again do cursor motion.
This is a significant change in the UI, I hope this will not cause too
many problems.
Fix bulk refiling in the agenda due to commit
9ec5529 (Fix jumping to last refile location in agenda, 2009-08-20)
This restores the original behaviour.

`org-cycle-separator-lines' can now get a negative value, to indicate
that, if the number of empty lines before a visible entry is greater
than the specified number, then *all* empty lines should be shown.
Use `gnus-summary-article-header' function when in gnus-summary-mode.
This way the article doesn't get displayed unnecessarily. We don't use
this function in the gnus-article-mode because it is not reliable.
Thanks to Leo for this suggestion.

Adds the output of 'git describe' to the org-version string if we are running
from a git repository. This identifies exactly what commit is checked out in
the org-mode git repository when reporting the org-mode version number.
org-version returns something like:
Org-mode version 6.29trans (release_6.29c.42.g5996)
which shows 6.29trans (somewhere after the last release tag) which
is 42 commits after release_6.29c at git commit 5996.
The git describe information is not included if org mode is not
running from a git repository.
This bug was caused by commit
8c177dc832, and reported by Matt
Lundin. The problem was that this commit tried to remove the text
propertes of the MATCH part of an agenda command. However, in block
commands, the MATCH part is not a string.
An entry `#+TODO:' without content make `M-x org-mode' fail.
While it may cause problems to have no TODO keywords defined, this
should not make entering the mode fail.
It is possible that the regular expressions for LaTeX snippets match
at nested locations. For example, Nick Dokos submitted this:
,----
| #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{amsmath}
|
| * foo
|
| \[
| \begin{matrix}
| 1&d\\
| d&d\\
| \end{matrix}
| \]
|
`----
where the snippet regexps match at \[ ... \] and also at
\\begin{matrix}.
This would lead to two nested overlays being placed. With this
commit, only the outer one will remain.
A `save-excursion' around a call to org-table-align make point end up
*before* the table. The reason is that a table align replaces the
entire table, including the newline before it. When the table is
removed in order to be replaced, the marker created by
`save-excursion' slips. `org-table-align' has it's own, built-in
`save-excursion' by remembering the line and column where the cursor
was before the align.
However, if you are using arguments, it is required that the opening
parenthesis is attached to the macro name, and that the closing
parenthesis is attached to the three closing braces.
With the following org file:
------
Foo
In which foos are described.
#+OPTIONS: num:nil author:nil creator:nil timestamp:nil d:nil toc:nil skip:t
#+TITLE:
* The construction of a foo
** Armaments
------
I found exporting to ASCII gave five leading blank lines. The
following patch reduces that to one. (I'd love some help in tracking
down that final one.)
New variable `org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown' to avoid
that a entry shows up in the agenda for today for both a scheduling
and a deadline entry. See the docstring of the variables for more
details.
