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.

Hi. After you eval this (for instance to count the number of

The relative timer is now shown in the mode-line while running.
There is a new command to pause and continue it.
Thanks to Alan Davis for driving this change.
The variable `org-blank-before-new-entry' regulates if Org should
insert a blank line before a new entry, when making a new headline or
plain list item. Up to now, the possible values in each case where t
or nil, i.e. unconditionally do or don't insert a blank line.
Now each setting can also be `auto'. If this is the case, Org will
look if the current entry, of which the command creates a sibling,
does have a blank line before it. If yes, it will also make a blank
line. If not, it will not. This seems so useful that I have made
this behavior the default.

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.
Column view could fail when the agenda contains entries from the Diary
which start with a *. This commit fixes this problems by making
`org-entry-properties' check for an org-mode buffer.
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.
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 implements fully automatic creation of unique labels for
footnotes, which is also turned on as the default setting. The
automatic labels look like [fn:1], [fn:2], etc, using the first
available unused number.
The commit introduces a new variable, `org-footnote-auto-label' with a
number of different options ranging from no auto creation (prompting
the user for a label) to fully automatic creation.
Also, the commit introduces new #+STARTUP options that can be used to
select these settings on a per-file basis.
A new perl program, list-hooks.pl, now extracts the full list of hook
and function variables in Org, for inclusion into Worg's org-hooks.org.
Also, add a docstring to a few hooks that did not have one.
This patch adds support functionality for the new code references. It
makes sure that `C-c C-o' will follow a code reference correctly. It
also extends the command org-store-link to actually create a new code
reference cookie when used in a source code temporary buffer created
with "C-c '". The new link will be stored, so that it can be inserted
with `C-c C-l'. When inserting such a link, no description will be
prompted for, because these coderef links should best not have a
description part.
This patch covers the three main backends, html, latex, and ascii. It
adds the code to make sure the coderef links identified by the
preprocessing will be implemented correctly when a backend does its work.
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.
This patch introduces three improvements to refile target construction,
which should speed these functions up significantly.
1. A faster way to move up a level in the outline hierarchy
2. A better way to construct the outline path, in the case
that the command is scanning the entire hierarchy anyway
3. Avoid comparing the true-names of files.
Unique identifiers for entries can now be used more efficiently.
Internally, a hash array has replaced the alist used so far to
keep track of the files in which an ID is defined. This makes it
quite fast to find an entry by ID.
There is now a new link type which looks like this:
id:GLOBALLY-UNIQUE-IDENTIFIER
This link points to a specific entry. When you move the entry to
a different file, for example if you move it to an archive
file, this link will continue to work.
The file /org-id.el/ contains an API that can be used to write
code using these identifiers, including creating IDs and finding
them wherever they are.
Org has its own method to create unique identifiers, but if the
system has /uuidgen/ command installed (Mac's and Linux systems
generally do), it will be used by default. You an also select
the method by hand, using the variable =org-id-method=.
If the ID system ever gets confused about where a certain ID is,
it initiates a global scan of all agenda files with associated
archives, all files previously known containing any IDs, and all
currently visited Org-mode files to rebuild the hash. You can
also initiate this by hand: =M-x org-id-update-id-locations=.
Running this command will also dump into the =*Messages*= buffer
information about any duplicate IDs. These should not exist, but
if you /copy/ an entry with its properties, duplicate IDs will
inevitably be produced. This is unavoidable in a plain text
system that allows you to edit the text in arbitrary ways, and a
portion of care on your side is needed to keep this system clean.
The hash is stored in the file =~/.emacs.d/.org-id-locations=.
This is also a change from previous versions where the file was
=~/.org=id-locations=. Therefore, you can remove this old file
if you have it. I am not sure what will happen if the =.emacs.d=
directory does not exists in your setup, but in modern Emacsen, I
believe it should exist. If you do not want to use IDs across
files, you can avoid the overhead with tracking IDs by
customizing the variable =org-id-track-globally=. IDs can then
still be used for links inside a single file.
IDs will also be used when you create a new link to an Org-mode
buffer. If you use =org-store-link= (normally at =C-c l=) inside
en entry in an Org-mode buffer, and ID property will be created
if it does not exist, and the stored link will be an =id:= link.
If you prefer the much less secure linking to headline text, you
can configure the variable =org-link-to-org-use-id=. The default
setting for this variable is =create-if-interactive=, meaning
that an ID will be created when you store a link interactively,
but not if you happen to be in an Org-mode file while you create
a remember note (which usually has a link to the place where you
were when starting remember).
Tables, and Hyperlinks that represent inlined images, can now be
equipped with additional information that will be used during
export. The information will be taken from the following special
lines in the buffer and apply to the first following table or
link.
- #+CAPTION: :: The caption of the image or table. This string
should be processed according to the export backend, but
this is not yet done.
- #+LABEL: :: A label to identify the figure/table for cross
references. For HTML export, this string will become the
ID for the `<div class="figure">' element that encapsulates
the image tag and the caption. For LaTeX export, this
string will be used as the argument of a `\label{...}'
macro. These lables will be available for internal links
like `[[label][Table] ]'.
- #+ATTR_HTML: :: Attributes for HTML export of image, to be
added as attributes into the `<img...>' tag. This string
will not be processed, so it should have immediately the
right format.
- #+ATTR_LaTeX: :: Attributes for LaTeX export of images, to
be inserted into the optional argument of the
`\includegraphics[...]{file}' command, to specify scaling,
clipping and other options. This string will not be
processed, so it should have immediately the right
format, like `width=5cm,angle=90'
For LaTeX export, if either a caption or a label is given, the
element will be exported as a float, i.e. wrapped into a figure
or table environment.
Moving trees up or down with XEmacs caused a problem when the tree is
at the beginning if the buffer or narrowed region. This patch
protects the relevant calls to outline-flag-region so that they are
only executed if the range is valid.

This patch add a new customization variable `org-tag-faces' that can
be used to specify such faces. The rest of the patch implements these
new faces in Org-mode buffers as well as in the agenda.
There were bugs in the mapping API, pointed to by Samuel Wales:
Manual says:
The following example counts the number of entries with TODO keyword
WAITING, in all agenda files.
(length (org-map-entries t "/+WAITING" nil 'agenda))
Org says invalid function for the string.
First of all, the example in the manual was wrong, the "nil" should be
gone. Second, the mapping function did not return all results in a
list, so that `length' could not count them.
This patch fixes these issues.
In addition to "<now>", "<today>", "<yesterday>", and
"<tomorrow>", there are more special values accepted now in
time comparisons in property searches: You may use strings
like =<+3d>= or =<-2w>=, with units d, w, m, and y for day,
week, month, and year, respectively
Thanks to Linday Todd for this proposal.
So far, the only way to select tags for inheritance was to
allow it for all tags, or to do a positive selection using
one of the more complex settings for
`org-use-tag-inheritance'. It may actually be better to
allow inheritance for all but a few tags, which was difficult
to achieve with this methodology.
This patch introduces a new option,
`org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance' which allows to specify an
exclusion list for inherited tags.
This patch does a lot of things. First, it makes sure that the tags
transferred to the agenda as text properties on each line are do carry
information about there origin (in the form of an `inherited' text
property). Then it modifies the function creating agenda lines so
that inherited tags will be listed and identified as such in the
agenda.
This new feature can be turned off with a new variable,
`org-agenda-show-inherited-tags'.
This file implements a special function to copy text from a w3m buffer
in a way that when the text is yanked back into an Org-mode buffer,
the links will be translated to Org syntax.
This patch implements a relative time for taking timed notes, useful
for example while watching a video, or during a meeting which is also
recorded. Here are the new commands:
- `C-c C-x .' ::
Insert a relative time into the buffer. The first time
you use this, the timer will be started. When called
with a prefix argument, the timer is reset to 0.
- `C-c C-x -' ::
Insert a description list item with the current relative
time. With a prefix argument, first reset the timer to 0.
- `C-c C-x 0' ::
Reset the timer without inserting anything into the buffer.
By default, the timer is reset to 0. When called with a
`C-u' prefix, reset the timer to specific starting
offset. The user is prompted for the offset, with a
default taken from a timer string at point, if any, So this
can be used to restart taking notes after a break in the
process. When called with a double prefix argument
`C-c C-u', change all timer strings in the active
region by a certain amount. This can be used to fix timer
strings if the timer was not started at exactly the right
moment.
This removes the ambiguous description that might lead org users
to try to set this variable without a '::' separator. Without
the :: separator C-c C-x C-S fails with
Invalid 'org-archive-location'
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

`org-insert-link' tries to do its same-file link detection
and winds up breaking the link. The result is that the link

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

case for which 'file:' detection is being used, is there a
reason to match against `\<' rather than `^' or

If you set the variable `org-completion-use-ido' to t, and if you have

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.

Reported by Bernt Hansen.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
These are changes that where made in the Emacs CVS.
The change in org-publish is not final, it is still being
discussed - however, the current change should make it possible
to compile and run the code with the latest CVS version of Emacs.
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.
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-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.
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.
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.
