A line: #+MARCO: name replacement text
can be referenced by {{{name}}}. As special cases, {{{title}}} will
reference #+TITLE, and similar with similar lines.
orgstruct++-mode is an enhanced version of orgstruct mode that
also imports all indentation and paragraph settings into the major
mode. Furthermore, it now allows to use M-RET and M-S-RET in items
after the first line. The latter change was a request by Austin
Frank.
The new command `org-reload' allows to reload all Org lisp files.
By default it will load compiled files if these are available. If
not, or when called with a C-u prefix argument, uncompiled code will
be loaded. This is good for producing a meaningful backtrace when an
error occurs.
Like TODO keywords before, now also tags each get their own CSS class,
given by the tag itself. Invalid characters in tags are all replaced
by "_" to make sure the resulting HTML remains valid.
Two new variables can be used to add a prefix to the class names for
TODO keywords and tags.
This commit makes it possible to force new lines and even empty lines
in the fast tag selection interface, either by splitting tags
definition into several lines, or by inserting "\n" into the tags
list, or by inserting (:newline) into the tags alist.
This is largely a patch from Christopher Suckling
The variables `org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines' and
`org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date, and
`org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options' are now all mentioned in
the docs.
Selecting files for publishing was strictly based on extension.
Richard Klinda provided this patch to allow the symbol `any' as an
indicator to actually take all files in a directory.

2. Can we put all of those state change history logging messages
into a drawer like "STATE-HIST" (when the drawer is defined in
org-drawers), so it is less intrusive in the file?
Yes we can. This commit provides this functionality. It introduces a
new drawer, LOGBOOK. When the variable
`org-log-state-notes-into-drawer' is set, state change time stamps and
notes will go into this drawer, or another one specified by that
variable.

Right now in the HTML export the TODO keywords have either
class="todo", or class="done". That loses all the face properties
in the original TODO keywords. I think the TODO keywords faces are
important visual aids to differentiate different types of TODO
items, so I just wonder whether it is possible to keep the faces
in the HTML.
This makes sense. This commit adds, to each TODO keyword, an
additional class named after the keyword. For example:
<span class="todo WAITING">WAITING</span>
So each todo keyword gets class "todo" or "done" depending on which
general type it is. And in addition it gets itself as class.
So go to your CSS file and configure like this:
.todo { font-weight:bold; }
.done { font-weight:bold; }
.TODO { color:red; }
.WAITING { color:orange; }
.DONE { color:green; }
Thanks to Sebastian Rose for the multiple-classes trick.

I can see that org-clock-persistence-insinuate appeared in 6.11
but I can't find it in the manual. Does it need to be added?
Yes, right.
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 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.
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.
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".
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.
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.

I had one more question/request concerning archives. Would
it perhaps be possible to enable the file name
substitution (i.e., "%s") after the double semi-colon, so
that the file name can be used as a headline within the
archive file? My ideal setup would be to have a single
archive file for each year's work, with headlines named
according to the original files of the archived subtrees.
E.g.,
,----
| * finances.org
| ** archived item
| * notes.org
| ** archived item
| ** another archived item
`----
This commit does implement this request.
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.
