For tables there is =orgtbl-mode= which implements the -table editor as a minor mode. For other features you need to switch to -Org-mode temporarily, or prepare text in a different buffer. - - -** Visibility cycling in Outline-mode and Outline-minor-mode - -%Can I get the visibility-cycling features in outline-mode and -outline-minor-mode?% - - Yes, these functions are written in a way that they are independent of - the outline setup. The following setup provides standard Org-mode - functionality in outline-mode on =TAB= and =S-TAB=. For - outline-minor-mode, we use =C-TAB= instead of =TAB=, - because =TAB= usually has mode-specific tasks. - -:(add-hook 'outline-minor-mode-hook -: (lambda () -: (define-key outline-minor-mode-map [(control tab)] 'org-cycle) -: (define-key outline-minor-mode-map [(shift tab)] 'org-global-cycle))) -:(add-hook 'outline-mode-hook -: (lambda () -: (define-key outline-mode-map [(tab)] 'org-cycle) -: (define-key outline-mode-map [(shift tab)] 'org-global-cycle))) - -Or check out /outline-magic.el/, which does this and also provides -promotion and demotion functionality. @file{outline-magic.el} is -available at [[http://www.astro.uva.nl/~dominik/Tools/OutlineMagic][Outline Magic]]. - -* Errors -** =(wrong-type-argument keymapp nil)= -When I try to use Org-mode, I always get the error message -@code{(wrong-type-argument keymapp nil)} This is a conflict with an -outdated version of the /allout.el/. - -** CUA mode does not work with Org-mode - -%Org-mode takes over the S-cursor keys. I also want to use CUA-mode, -is there a way to fix this conflict?% - -Yes, see the /Conflicts/ section of the manual. - -* Setup and Structure -** Org-mode as default mode - -%Org-mode seems to be a useful default mode for the various README -files I have scattered through my directories%. %How do I turn it on -for all README files?% - -Add the following to your .emacs file: - -: (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("README$" . org-mode)) - - -** Get rid of extra stars in outline - -%All these stars are driving me mad, I just find the Emacs outlines -unreadable. Can't you just put white space and a single star as a -starter for headlines?% - -See the section /Clean outline view/ in the manual. - -** Two windows on same Org-mode file -%I would like to have two windows on the same Org-mode file, but with -different outline visibility. Is that possible?% - -In GNU Emacs, you may use /indirect buffers/ which do exactly this. -See the documentation on the command =make-indirect-buffer=. In -XEmacs, this is currently not possible because of the different outline -implementation. - -* Hyperlinks -** Broken links after Org-mode 4.20 - -%Some of my links stopped working after I upgraded to a version 4.20 -or later. Why is this, and how can I fix it?% - -These must be links in plain text, containing white space, such as - -: bbdb:Richard Stallman - -You need to protect these links by putting double brackets around -them, like - -: [[bbdb:Richard Stallman]] - -** Converting links to double-bracket format - -%I see that Org-mode now creates links using the double bracket -convention that hides the link part and the brackets, only showing the -description part. How can I convert my old links to this new format?% - -Execute once in each Org-mode file: =M-x org-upgrade-old-links= -This replaces angular brackets with the new link format. - -** Angular bracket links preference - -%I don't care if you find the new bracket links great, I am attached -to the old style using angular brackets and no hiding of the link -text. Please give them back to me, don't tell me it is not possible!% - -Would I let you down like that? If you must, you can do this - -: (setq org-link-style 'plain -: org-link-format "<%s>") - -** Confirmation for shell and elips links -%When I am executing shell/elisp links I always get a confirmation -prompt and need to type =yes RET=, that's 4 key presses! Can I get -rid of this?% - -The confirmation is there to protect you from unwantingly execute -potentially dangerous commands. For example, imagine a link -:[[shell:rm -rf ~/*][ Google Search]] - -In an Org-mode buffer, this command would look like /Google Search/, -but really it would remove your home directory. If you wish, you can -make it easier to respond to the query by setting -=org-confirm-shell-link-function= and/or -=org-confirm-elisp-link-function= to =y-or-n-p=. Then a single yc -keypress will be enough to confirm those links. It is also possible -to turn off this check entirely, but I do not recommend to do this. -Be warned. - - - -* Export -** Make TODO entries items, not headlines in HTML export - -%When I export my TODO list, every TODO item becomes a separate -section. How do I enforce these items to be exported as an itemized -list?% - -If you plan to use ASCII or HTML export, make sure things you want to -be exported as item lists are level 4 at least, even if that does mean -there is a level jump. For example: - -: * Todays top priorities -: **** TODO write a letter to xyz -: **** TODO Finish the paper -: **** Pick up kids at the school - -Alternatively, if you need a specific value for the heading/item -transition in a particular file, use the =#+OPTIONS= line to -configure the H switch. - -: #+OPTIONS: H:2; ... - -** Export only a subtree - -%I would like to export only a subtree of my file to HTML. How?% - -If you want to export a subtree, mark the subtree as region and then -export. Marking can be done with =C-c @@ C-x C-x=, for example. - -* Tables -** #ERROR fields in tables - -%One of my table columns has started to fill up with =#ERROR=. What -is going on?% - -Org-mode tried to compute the column from other fields using a -formula stored in the =#+TBLFM:= line just below the table, and -the evaluation of the formula fails. Fix the fields used in the -formula, or fix the formula, or remove it! - -** Unwanted new lines in table - -%When I am in the last column of a table and just above a horizontal -line in the table, pressing TAB creates a new table line before the -horizontal line%. %How can I quickly move to the line below the -horizontal line instead?% - -Press =down= (to get on the separator line) and then =TAB= -Or configure the variable =org-table-tab-jumps-over-hlines=. - -** Change indentation of a table -%How can I change the indentation of an entire table without fixing -every line by hand?% - -The indentation of a table is set by the first line. So just fix the -indentation of the first line and realign with =TAB=. - -* Agenda -** Include Org-mode agenda into Emacs diary -%Is it possible to include entries from org-mode files into my emacs -diary?% - -Since the org-mode agenda is much more powerful and can contain the -diary, you should think twice -before deciding to do this. Integrating Org-mode information into the -diary is, however, possible. You need to turn on /fancy diary -display/ by setting in .emacs: - -: (add-hook 'diary-display-hook 'fancy-diary-display) - -Then include the following line into your ~/diary file, in -order to get the entries from all files listed in the variable -=org-agenda-files= - -: &%%(org-diary) -You may also select specific files with - -: &%%(org-diary) ~/path/to/some/org-file.org -: &%%(org-diary) ~/path/to/another/org-file.org - -If you now launch the calendar and press d to display a diary, the -headlines of entries containing a timestamp, date range, schedule, or -deadline referring to the selected date will be listed. Just like -Org-mode's agenda view, the diary for @emph{today} contains additional -entries for overdue deadlines and scheduled items. See also the -documentation of the @command{org-diary} function. Under XEmacs, it is -not possible to jump back from the diary to the org, this works only in -the agenda buffer. - -* COMMENT HTML style specifications - -# Local Variables: -# org-export-html-style: " " -# End:
