This patch defines a new minor mode, `org-remember-mode', which is
turned on when Org-mode is used to handle a remember buffer. This
provides a safe way to modify keybindings (in
`org-remember-mode-map'), without overwriting keys in `org-mode-map'.
Since Org put remember buffers into Org-mode, remember-mode-map will
be entirely ignored.
do completion does not work well with values including white space,
which means we cannot use it in completion of values in remember
templates. This patch turns it off for this application.
Report by Richard Riley.
When ID's are created, Org tries to remember in which file the id is
located. However, if an ID is created in a remember buffer, no file
is known. This patch makes sure that this condition does not lead to
an error.
When an org-remember template inserts a property, the template-creating
function tries to support the user by retrieving a list of allowed
values to facilitate completion. So far this was done by getting the
property with inheritance, ignoring that the cursor in the target file
buffer may not be in an entry at all. So now we just look at the global
and file lists of allowed values.

I've been trying to work with links to man pages in
Org (using org-man.el). When I try to create a link to a
Perl module in the File package namespace, however,
`org-insert-link' tries to do its same-file link detection
and winds up breaking the link. The result is that the link
man:File::MimeInfo
gets rewritten to
file::MimeInfo
Naturally, this isn't what I want. Looking at
`org-insert-link', it seems that the problem may be that its
same-file link detection is matching 'file:' at
beginning-of-word, which it is in this case. In the general
case for which 'file:' detection is being used, is there a
reason to match against `\<' rather than `^' or
`^[[:space:]]*'? Changing to one of the latter two
expressions would, I believe, keep it From rewriting these
links I am trying to create.
Michael is right, and I have made this change.
The face `org-agenda-column-dateline' can be used to make datelines

A link to an image can function as the description part of a link, to
create a clickable image. The corresponding image tag was
erroneously processed like normal text. This patch protects such
descriptions from processing.
Reported by Richard Riley.
If you set the variable `org-completion-use-ido' to t, and if you have
ido-mode turned on, most instanced of completion in Org-mode will use
ido-complete.
Thanks to Samuel Wales and Eric Schulte for patches to this effect.
There was a bug in the implementation of the "<today>" tag for time
comparison during property matching, and new tags "<yesterday>" and
"<tomorrow>" have been introduced.

Org allows to define invisible anchors in a document in comment lines
like
If such a line is directly before or after a headline, previously this
anchor was removed, and all references to it were replaced with
references to the anchor that the headline had anyway.
Matthew Lundin pointed out that this makes it impossible to have
permanent links to headlines that can also be used from outside the
current page.
This patch changes his situation by adding the additional targets as
empty anchors to the section heading. If works by creating, during
preprocessing, an alist with targets that do have aliases. During
publishing, these aliases are looked up and converted into anchors.
In LaTeX export, these additional targets become additional labels.
The was a faulty regular expression in this function which never
matched, causing creation of a new picture area to mess up and start
the new area at the end of the previous line instead of the beginning
of the current.
Reported by Bernt Hansen.
This is a bugfix. When the number of headline levels was set to zero,
or if there was no heading at all in the export, the final closing
</div> should not be present.
This patch implements the possibility to translate links.
It can be useful if use both planner and Org-mode, if you sometimes
copy text from one side to the other and you do not want to worry
about link syntax. This patch allows links created with planner to
function correctly in Org-mode. I would probably be simple to
implement the reverse conversion in planner as well.
This patch is a first shot at this functionality and very likely can
be improved.
Org's `org-yank' now identifies itself as being `yank' by setting
`this-command', and by making sure that the mark is set correctly. In
this way, `yank-pop' will work correctly after using `C-y' in an
Org-mode buffer. Org-mode does not have its own implementation, to
`yank-pop' will insert content plainly, without adjusting tree levels,
and without folding.
Samuel Wales pointed out that `yank-pop' doe not work anymore.
iCalendar export has now improved compliance with RFC 2445.
Now all occurrences in data fields of the double quotes are replaced
by two single quotes, and any fields containing comma, colon, or
semicolon are quoted by surrounding them with double quotes.
Org sometimes hits a "Before first heading" error. This error happens
when `outline-back-to-heading' is called before the first heading in a
buffer. In normal use, this is something easy to fix, because of
course you know where you are and you can identify the problem.
However, when Org scans many different buffers, for example to collect
agenda entries, you may not be able to tell easily where this error
happened. This patch introduces a wrapper around
`outline-back-to-heading', with improving the error message by
spelling out buffer and location.
Georg C.F. Greve asked for configurable leaders strings for agenda
display of time ranges. This patch implements these strings, in the
new option `org-agenda-timerange-leaders'.
When an ASCII image is edited with C-c ', it will in the end be quoted
by prepending colons to each line. If tabulators are used in the
image, this may mess up the alignment. Since tabulators are not a
good idea in ASCII images anyway, this patch makes sure that any
tabulators are replaced by spaces.
Org-mode's `org-yank' command is used as a replacement for the normal
`yank' command. It differs by giving special treatment to subtrees or
sets of subtrees when yanking them, by adjusting the level to fit the
outline, and by folding the trees after the yank.
This patch does fine-tune this behavior.
First of all, if any prefix argument is given to the command, it
immediately hands over the action to the standard `yank' command. In
particular, you can use `C-u C-y' to yank as-is, with the only minor
side effect that the cursor will end up at the beginning of the yanked
text.
Secondly, the folding of the yanked trees will only happen if there is
no text directly after the insertion point that would be swallowed by
the folding process. This was confusing in the past and is much
better now, with a message announcing that folding has been
suppressed.

This changes the default value for Effort during agenda filtering so
that an undefined Effort value is treated as 0 instead of nil. Tasks
with no effort defined now return zero effort when selecting tasks for
the filter.
There was effectively no way to select 'tasks with no effort defined'
using the agenda effort filter. The '<' operator is interpreted as
'<=' and the default effort selection defined in
org-agenda-filter-by-tag starts with zero ("0 0:10 ...") so this
change just treats tasks with no effort defined the same as tasks with
an effort of 0.
This allows fast selection of NEXT tasks with no effort defined.
Column view with follow-mode active in the agenda is great for quickly
filling in the agenda estimated effort values for tasks. Just display
your Next tasks, then / 0 to select tasks with no effort and enter
column mode (C-c C-x C-c) and fill in your effort values with the
quick keys (0-9) for all of the tasks that have blanks in the effort
column.
The refile command allows to move a subtree to under some other
heading, in the current file or even in a different file.
Sometimes one has a number of sibling subtrees that should all be
refiled to the same location. This patch implements a simplification
for this process. You can mark the region of subtrees (using
transient-mark-mode in required for this) and then move them all with
a single command.
Org-mode produces summaries of clocked items in the form of Org-mode
tables. This patch implements the possibility to define formulas that
should be applied to the clock tables, in order to do additional
analysis.
Formulas for clock tables are supported in two ways.
First, a formula can simply be added by hand to a table. Part of this
patch makes sure that, when the previous version of the table contains
a #+TBLFM: line, it will be copied to the new version.
Secondly, the clocktable definition allows a new parameter
`:formula'. The string value of this parameter will be installed as
the formula line for the table. If a formula parameter is given, it
will overrule any previous formula line.
As a special case, using the symbol `%' as the formula will install a
formula that will compute the fraction of total time that was spent in
a subtree.
In both cases, the formulas will be immediately evaluated after the
table has been created.
Bernt Hansen recently reported that occasionally he got a newline
included with property values returned by `org-entry-get'. While the
reason for this is not understood (maybe some dark mingling with
character syntax), these new regexps are explicit about what they
interpret as a non-white character and therefore should make this
matching safer.
Jurgen Defume asked for a way to display only logging information in
the agenda. This patch implements such a possibility. It works by
calling `org-agenda-log-mode' (bound to `l' in the agenda) with a
double prefix arg. This sets the variable `org-agenda-show-log' to a
special value `only' which is then interpreted by the agenda-creating
functions.
When org-yank inserts a subtree, it moves the cursor to the headline
after the yank. A structural bug in the `org-yank' function did cause
this motion also to happen after a normal yank. Fixed now.
Matthew Lovell found that VM messages are only displayed reliably upon
following a link, when the function `vm-preview-current-message' is
called instead of `vm-beginning-of-message'. This patch implements
this change.
Links in the standard form [[link][description]] are allowed to have
brackets in them when these are escapes %5B and %5D. Creating links
through the Org link interface automatically does this conversion.
However, as noticed by Paul R, there is a bug when actually following
such links, when the link will be cut off at the first closing bracket
in the link.
This patch fixes this problem by adjusting the appropriate regexp.
This patch introduces two new functions in org-attach.el,
`org-attach-expand', and `org-attach-expand-link'. Both take a file
name as an argument, assume that this file is an attachment of the
current entry, and return the full path to this file or a
"file:..." link to it, respectively.
With these functions, it becomes very easy to use link abbreviations
to create a new link type to attachments:
After
(setq org-link-abbrev-alist '(("att" . org-attach-expand-link)))
links like [[att:file.txt]] will work.
Org records (depending on setup) various information about progress
achieved with projects and tasks. It can record when an item is done
(when it is "closed"), it can record time spent working on these
entries (clocking), and it can record state changes.
In the daily/weekly agenda, turning on logbook mode with the `l' key
will lists the tasks closed or clocked on a day.
This patch implements showing recorded state changes in the agenda
logbook. By default, showing state changes is not turned on. But you
can configure the new variable `org-agenda-log-mode-items' to trigger
inclusion of state changes. An alternative way is to press `C-u l' in
the agenda, to temporarily force inclusion of all possible entries
(closed, clock, state) into the agenda display.
In passing, this patch renames the function `org-agenda-get-closed' to
the now more appropriate `org-agenda-get-progress'. The old name
continues to be available as an alias, but its use is deprecated.
Org-mode uses a special setup with a number of different customization
variables to specify how a file should be opened when following a
:file:..." link with `C-c C-o'. By using a `C-u' prefix, it was
possible to overrule the customized setup and to force opening the
file in Emacs.
Samuel Wales requested to amend this process, so that a double prefix
argument would do the opposite: force opening the application *outside*
of Emacs, using a system default application. This is what this patch
implements.
Internally this works through a new entry in system specific constants
`org-file-apps-defaults-gnu', org-file-apps-defaults-macosx', and
`org-file-apps-defaults-windowsnt'. The new entry has the car
`system' and specifies the command that should be used for the double
C-u calls. As before, the user option `org-file-apps' can overrule
these default settings.
Note that all this only applies to following "file:" links, and does
not make a difference for, for example, "http:" links.
This is a bug fix. When the option `org-link-file-path-type' has the
value `adaptive', absolute file names would not be abbreviated if they
are relative to the users home directory. For any other values of
this variable except `noabbrev', absolute links are in fact
abbreviated, so the previous behavior is an inconsistency,
as noticed by Matt Lundin.
This patch fixes this problem and makes sure that also in this case,
file names are abbreviated.
Finally, the patch also fixes a structural bug that would ignore
the double C-u prefix if it was given.
When the cursor is at the end of the buffer but not at the beginning
of a line, inserting a new headline with C-RET did insert the stars
into the last line, without adding the needed newline. The new line
is now added.
Link descriptions where so far exported literally. However, really
they need to escape special characters and have TeX-like macros
interpreted and emphasis enabled just like any other text.
This patch makes sure link descriptions are passed through a new
filter, `org-export-html-format-desc' which does just that.
This fix is a follow-up to a report by Sebastian Rose.
So far, Org used either `fit-window-to-buffer' or
`shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer' without any further checks when
displaying one of its many help and selection buffers. This can cause
problems if the user has set up Emacs to split windows horizontally
rather than vertically, because the window being shrunken then may be
side-by-side with another window, and shrinking the height of one will
also change the other.
With this patch, shrinking a window always goes through the new
function `org-fit-window-to-buffer' which only acts if the current
window spans the whole width of the frame.
Furthermore, this function also helps with compatibility, because it
falls back to `shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer' if
`fit-window-to-buffer' does not exist, as is the case on older version
of Emacs and XEmacs.
field (or in any other attribute value) must be written as "&" in
order to be valid XHMTL. This patch implements a new filter function
through which every href value is passed, and which enforces this
standard.
This is was triggered by a report by Sebastian Rose.
When marking a repeated entry DONE in the daily or weekly agenda, that
task would previously still be shown as TODO, because the repeater
immediately restores the TODO state after moving the time stamp. This
is bad feedback.
This problem was hard to fix. Because the same line may be present in
other lines in the same weekly agenda, we cannot simply update all
lines related to this entry.
What we do now is this: Before the repeater does its work in shifting
the time stamp and resetting the TODO keyword, we take a snapshot of
the headline as it looks then. And then, when we update the agenda
view, we change only the line at the cursor instead of all lines
related to this entry. We also make sure that this is only so if the
cursor is in a daily/weekly agenda, on TODAY's date.
There still remain possible inconsistencies. For example, if you have
a daily repeating task in the weekly agenda, and you move the cursor a
few days into the future and mark it DONE there, the entry will
actually be marked DONE for today, but still show up in today's task
list as TODO. refreshing the agenda will fix the display in such an
unlikely case.
Thanks to Jack ??? for noticing and reporting this issue.
The index generation of org-publish does briefly visit all files in
order to extract the correct page title. Visiting is necessary,
because the title may be set by the first line in the buffer, by a
Before this patch, this would cause the generation of a large number
of buffers, one for each file mentioned in the index. This patch
arranges for these buffers to be removed again. However, buffers
which were already present will not be removed.
There is still one open problem: The files to be published are
visited twice, one for publishing them, a second time for creating the
index. Visiting causes some overhead, and we would like to limit this
overhead. For now, however, this is not done.
Org-mode does sometimes included CSS definitions directly
into an exported XHTML file. To pass validation tests
for XHTML, these sections need to be wrapped in
order to pass as CDATA, not PCDATA. This patch
(written by Sebastian Rose) does implement this change.
It also fixes some typos.
This function only does its job if no side-by-side
window would be affected as well. Also, if
fit-window-to-buffer is not defined, use
shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer instead.
When yanking a cut/copied subtree or a series of trees, even
the nomal yank key `C-y' does now adjust the level of the tree
to make it fit into the current outline position, without
loosing its identity, and without swallowing other subtrees.
This uses the command `org-past-subtree'. An additional
change in that command has been implemented: Normally, this
command picks the right outline level from the surrounding
*visible* headlines, and uses the smaller on. So it the
cursor is between a level 4 and a level 3 headline, the tree
will be pasted as level 3. Now, if the cursor is actually
*at* the beginning of a headline, the level of that headline
will be used. So lets say you have a tree like this:
* Level one
** Level two
(1)
(2)* Level one again
with (1) and (2) indicating possible cursor positions for the
insertion. When at (1), the tree will be pasted as level 2.
When at (2), it will be pasted as level 1.
If you do not like `C-y' to behave like this, configure the
variable `org-yank-adjusted-subtrees'.
Thanks to Samuel Wales for this idea and a partial implementation.
Clock-related data are saved when exiting emacs ands restored when emacs
is restarted. The data saved include the contents of `org-clock-history',
and the running clock, if there is one.
To use this, you will need to add
(require 'org-clock)
(org-clock-persistence-insinuate)
to your .emacs and either add
(setq org-clock-persist t)
(setq org-clock-in-resume t)
or set those options to t in custom.
This patch requires the clock resume patch.
