I've been bad and let a couple of my overhead tasks slip past
their deadline dates.
*** TODO Q1 Accounting: October
DEADLINE: <2008-11-30 Mon +1y>
- 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'.
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.
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 introduces more hooks for preprocessing the export buffer,
at various strategic moments. See the Changes.org file for a
description of the hooks.
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.
Text inside tables did not receive the full treatment of handling sub-
and superscripts, and of special character quoting like %, &, and {}.
This patch does fix this, but I am worried that I am overlooking the
true reason why Bastien did switch off these conversions. We'll see
if and what this will break.
Exporting tables to LaTeX suffered from the problem that Org tables
are often long, but that the tabular environment in LaTeX cannot
handle long tables. This patch fixes this issue.
LaTeX export can now deal with very long tables, by setting an option
in the "ATTR_LaTeX:" line. Also, you can specify the alignment by
hand. Here is an example:
Also, table export now correctly deals with tables that start with a
hline. In such a case, also the LaTeX version will have this extra
hline before the first line.
