*** Footnote support
|
|
|
|
Org-mode now directly supports the creation of footnotes. In
|
|
contrast to the /footnote.el/ package, Org-mode's footnotes are
|
|
designed for work on a larger document, not only for one-off
|
|
documents like emails. The basic syntax is similar to the one
|
|
used by /footnote.el/, i.e. a footnote is defined in a paragraph
|
|
that is started by a footnote marker in square brackets in column
|
|
0, no indentation allowed. The footnote reference is simply the
|
|
marker in square brackets inside text. For example:
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src org
|
|
The Org homepage[fn:1] now looks a lot better than it used to.
|
|
...
|
|
[fn:1] The link is: http://orgmode.org
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
Org-mode extends the number-based syntax to /named/ footnotes and
|
|
optional inline definition. Using plain numbers as markers is
|
|
supported for backward compatibility, but not encouraged because
|
|
of possible conflicts with LaTeX syntax. Here are the valid
|
|
references:
|
|
|
|
- [1] :: A plain numeric footnote marker.
|
|
|
|
- [fn:name] :: A named footnote reference, where `name' is a
|
|
unique label word or, for simplicity of automatic creation,
|
|
a number.
|
|
|
|
- [fn:: This is the inline definition of this footnote] :: A
|
|
LaTeX-like anonymous footnote where the definition is given
|
|
directly at the reference point.
|
|
|
|
- [fn:name: a definition] :: An inline definition of a footnote,
|
|
which also specifies a name for the note. Since Org allows
|
|
multiple references to the same note, you can then use use
|
|
`[fn:name]' to create additional references.
|
|
|
|
Footnote labels can be created automatically, or you create names
|
|
yourself. This is handled by the variable
|
|
=org-footnote-auto-label= and its corresponding =#+STARTUP=
|
|
keywords, see the docstring of that variable for details.
|
|
|
|
The following command handles footnotes:
|
|
|
|
- C-c C-x f :: The footnote action command. When the cursor is
|
|
on a footnote reference, jump to the definition. When it is
|
|
at a definition, jump to the (first) reference. Otherwise,
|
|
create a new footnote. Depending on the variable
|
|
`org-footnote-define-inline' (with associated =#+STARTUP=
|
|
options =fninline= and =nofninline=), the definitions will
|
|
be placed right into the text as part of the reference, or
|
|
separately into the location determined by the variable =org-footnote-section=.
|
|
When this command is called with a prefix argument, a menu
|
|
of additional options is offered:
|
|
- s :: Sort the footnote definitions by reference sequence.
|
|
During editing, Org makes no effort to sort footnote
|
|
definitions into a particular sequence. If you want
|
|
them sorted, use this command, which will also move
|
|
entries according to =org-footnote-section=.
|
|
- n :: Normalize the footnotes by collecting all
|
|
definitions (including inline definitions) into a
|
|
special section, and then numbering them in
|
|
sequence. The references will then also be
|
|
numbers. This is meant to be the final step before
|
|
finishing a document (e.g. sending off an email).
|
|
The exporters do this automatically, and so could
|
|
something like `message-send-hook'.
|
|
- d :: Delete the footnote at point, and all references to it.
|
|
|
|
- C-c C-c :: If the cursor is on a footnote reference, jump to
|
|
the definition. If it is a the definition, jump back to the
|
|
reference. When called with a prefix argument at either
|
|
location, offer the same menu as `C-u C-c C-x f'.
|
|
|
|
- C-c C-o or mouse-1/2 :: Footnote labels are also links to the
|
|
corresponding definition/reference, and you can use the
|
|
usual commands to follow these links.
|
|
|
|
Org-mode's footnote support is designed so that it should also
|
|
work in buffers that are not in Org-mode, for example in email
|
|
messages. Just bind =org-footnote-action= to a global key like
|
|
=C-c f=.
|
|
|
|
The main trigger for this development came from a hook function
|
|
written by Paul Rivier, to implement named footnotes and to
|
|
convert them to numbered ones before export. Thanks, Paul!
|
|
|
|
Thanks also to Scot Becker for a thoughtful post bringing this
|
|
subject back onto the discussion table, and to Matt Lundin for
|
|
the idea of named footnotes and his prompt testing of the new
|
|
features.
|
|
|
|
*** Line numbers and references in literal examples
|
|
|
|
Literal examples introduced with =#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE= or =#+BEGIN_SRC=
|
|
do now allow optional line numbering in the example.
|
|
Furthermore, links to specific code lines are supported, greatly
|
|
increasing Org-mode's utility for writing tutorials and other
|
|
similar documents.
|
|
|
|
Code references use special labels embedded directly into the
|
|
source code. Such labels look like "(ref:name)" and must be
|
|
unique within a document. Org-mode links with "(name)" in the
|
|
link part will be correctly interpreted, both while working with
|
|
an Org file (internal links), and while exporting to the
|
|
different backends. Line numbering and code references are
|
|
supported for all three major backends, HTML, LaTeX, and ASCII.
|
|
In the HTML backend, hovering the mouse over a link to a source
|
|
line will remote-highlight the referenced code line.
|
|
|
|
The options for the BEGIN lines are:
|
|
|
|
- -n :: Number the lines in the example
|
|
- +n :: Like -n, but continue numbering from where the previous
|
|
example left off.
|
|
- -r :: Remove the coderef cookies from the example, and replace
|
|
links to this reference with line numbers. This option
|
|
takes only effect if either -n or +n are given as well.
|
|
If -r is not given, coderefs simply use the label name.
|
|
- -l "fmt" :: Define a local format for coderef labels, see the
|
|
variable =org-coderef-label-format= for details. Use this
|
|
of the default syntax causes conflicts with the code in the
|
|
code snippet you are using.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example:
|
|
|
|
#+begin_example -k
|
|
#+begin_src emacs-lisp -n -r
|
|
(defmacro org-unmodified (&rest body) (ref:def)
|
|
"Execute body without changing `buffer-modified-p'."
|
|
`(set-buffer-modified-p (ref:back)
|
|
(prog1 (buffer-modified-p) ,@body)))
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
[[(def)][Line (def)]] contains the macro name. Later at line [[(back)]],
|
|
backquoting is used.
|
|
#+end_example
|
|
|
|
When exported, this is translated to:
|
|
#+begin_src emacs-lisp -n -r
|
|
(defmacro org-unmodified (&rest body) (ref:def)
|
|
"Execute body without changing `buffer-modified-p'."
|
|
`(set-buffer-modified-p (ref:back)
|
|
(prog1 (buffer-modified-p) ,@body)))
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
[[(def)][Line (def)]] contains the macro name. Later at line [[(back)]],
|
|
backquoting is used.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Ilya Shlyakhter for proposing this feature set. Thanks
|
|
to Sebastian Rose for the key Javascript element that made the
|
|
remote highlighting possible.
|
|
|
|
*** New hooks for export preprocessing
|
|
The export preprocessor now runs more hooks, to allow
|
|
better-timed tweaking by user functions:
|
|
|
|
- =org-export-preprocess-hook= ::
|
|
Pretty much the first thing in the preprocessor. But org-mode
|
|
is already active in the preprocessing buffer.
|
|
|
|
- =org-export-preprocess-after-include-files-hook= ::
|
|
This is run after the contents of included files have been inserted.
|
|
|
|
- =org-export-preprocess-after-tree-selection-hook= ::
|
|
This is run after selection of trees to be exported has
|
|
happened. This selection includes tags-based selection, as
|
|
well as removal of commented and archived trees.
|
|
|
|
- =org-export-preprocess-before-backend-specifics-hook= ::
|
|
Hook run before backend-specific functions are called during preprocessing.
|
|
|
|
- =org-export-preprocess-final-hook= ::
|
|
Hook for preprocessing an export buffer. This is run as the
|
|
last thing in the preprocessing buffer, just before returning
|
|
the buffer string to the backend.
|
|
|
|
*** Capture column view into a different file
|
|
|
|
The :id parameter for the dynamic block capturing column view
|
|
can now truly be an ID that will also be found in a
|
|
different file. Also, it can be like =file:path/to/file=, to
|
|
capture the global column view from a different file.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Francois Lagarde for his report that IDs outside
|
|
the current file would not work.
|
|
|
|
* Version 6.16
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:VISIBILITY: content
|
|
:END:
|
|
Cleanup of many small bugs, and one new feature.

|
*** References to last table row with special names
|
|
|
|
Fields in the last row of a table can now be referenced with
|
|
$LR1, $LR2, etc. These references can appear both on the
|
|
left hand side and right hand side of a formula.
|
|
|
|
* Version 6.15f
|
|
|
|
This version reverses the introduction of @0 as a reference to
|
|
the last rwo in a table, because of a conflict with the use of
|
|
@0 for the current row.
|
|
|
|
* Version 6.15
|
|
** Overview
|
|
|
|
- All known LaTeX export issues fixed
|
|
- Captions and attributes for figures and tables.
|
|
- Better implementation for entry IDs
|
|
- Spreadsheet references to the last table line.
|
|
- Old syntax for link attributes abandoned
|
|
|
|
** Incompatible changes
|
|
*** Old syntax for link attributes abandoned
|
|
|
|
There used to be a syntax for setting link attributes for
|
|
HTML export by enclosing the attributes into double braces
|
|
and adding them to the link itself, like
|
|
|
|
#+begin_example
|
|
[[./img/a.jpg{{alt="an image"}}] ]
|
|
#+end_example
|
|
|
|
This syntax is not longer supported, use instead
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src org
|
|
,#+ATTR_HTML: alt="an image"
|
|
[[./img/a.jpg] ]
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
*** All known LaTeX export issues fixed
|
|
|
|
All the remaining issues with the LaTeX exporter have hopefully
|
|
been addressed in this release. In particular, this covers
|
|
quoting of special characters in tables and problems with
|
|
exporting files where the headline is in the first line, or with
|
|
an active region.
|
|
|
|
*** Captions and attributes for figures and tables.
|
|
|
|
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 labels 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 and
|
|
tables.\\
|
|
For /images/, this string is directly 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 /tables/, this can currently contain the keyword =longtable=, to request typesetting of the table using the
|
|
longtable package, which automatically distributes the table
|
|
over several pages if needed. Also, the attributes line may
|
|
contain an alignment string for the tabular environment, like
|
|
=longtable,align=l|lrl=
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
*** Better implementation for entry IDs
|
|
|
|
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 a new link type which looks like this:
|
|
|
|
#+begin_example
|
|
id:GLOBALLY-UNIQUE-IDENTIFIER
|
|
#+end_example
|
|
|
|
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, the 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 (a change compared to the earlier
|
|
implmentation, where you explicitdly had to opt for uuidgen). You can
|
|
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, and Org will never /make/ the
|
|
same ID twice, but if you /copy/ an entry with its properties,
|
|
duplicate IDs will inevitably be produced. Unfortunately, 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).
|
|
|
|
*** Spreadsheet references to the last table line.
|
|
|
|
You may now use =@0= to reference the last dataline in a table
|
|
in a stable way. This is useful in particular for automatically
|
|
generated tables like the ones using /org-collector.el/ by Eric
|
|
Schulte.
|
|
|
|
* Version 6.14
|
|
** Overview
|
|
|
|
- New relative timer to support timed notes
|
|
- Special faces can be set for individual tags
|
|
- The agenda shows now all tags, including inherited ones.
|
|
- Exclude some tags from inheritance.
|
|
- More special values for time comparisons in property searches
|
|
- Control for exporting meta data
|
|
- Cut and Paste with hot links from w3m to Org
|
|
- LOCATION can be inherited for iCalendar export
|
|
- Relative row references crossing hlines now throw an error
|
|
|
|
** Incompatible Changes
|
|
|
|
*** Relative row references crossing hlines now throw an error
|
|
|
|
Relative row references in tables look like this: "@-4" which
|
|
means the forth row above this one. These row references are
|
|
not allowed to cross horizontal separator lines (hlines). So
|
|
far, when a row reference violates this policy, Org would
|
|
silently choose the field just next to the hline.
|
|
|
|
Tassilo Horn pointed out that this kind of hidden magic is
|
|
actually confusing and may cause incorrect formulas, and I do
|
|
agree. Therefore, trying to cross a hline with a relative
|
|
reference will now throw an error.
|
|
|
|
If you need the old behavior, customize the variable
|
|
`org-table-error-on-row-ref-crossing-hline'.
|
|
|
|
** Details
|
|
|
|
*** New relative timer to support timed notes
|
|
|
|
Org now supports taking timed notes, useful for example while
|
|
watching a video, or during a meeting which is also recorded.
|
|
|
|
- =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.
|
|
|
|
- =M-RET= ::
|
|
Once the time list has been initiated, you can also use the
|
|
normal item-creating command to insert the next timer item.
|
|
|
|
- =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.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Alan Dove, Adam Spiers, and Alan Davis for
|
|
contributions to this idea.
|
|
|
|
*** Special faces can be set for individual tags
|
|
|
|
You may now use the variable =org-tag-faces= to define the
|
|
face used for specific tags, much in the same way as you can
|
|
do for TODO keywords.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Samuel Wales for this proposal.
|
|
|
|
*** The agenda shows now all tags, including inherited ones.
|
|
|
|
This request has come up often, most recently it was
|
|
formulated by Tassilo Horn.
|
|
|
|
If you prefer the old behavior of only showing the local
|
|
tags, customize the variable =org-agenda-show-inherited-tags=.
|
|
|
|
*** Exclude some tags from inheritance.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
A new option, `org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance', allows to
|
|
specify an exclusion list for inherited tags.
|
|
|
|
*** More special values for time comparisons in property searches
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
*** Control for exporting meta data
|
|
|
|
All the metadata in a headline, i.e. the TODO keyword, the
|
|
priority cookie, and the tags, can now be excluded from
|
|
export with appropriate options:
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Publishing property | OPTIONS switch |
|
|
|-------------------------------+---------------------+----------------|
|
|
| org-export-with-todo-keywords | :todo-keywords | todo: |
|
|
| org-export-with-tags | :tags | tags: |
|
|
| org-export-with-priority | :priority | pri: |
|

*** Cut and Paste with hot links from w3m to Org
|
|
|
|
You can now use the key =C-c C-x M-w= in a w3m buffer with
|
|
HTML content to copy either the region or the entire file in
|
|
a special way. When you yank this text back into an Org-mode
|
|
buffer, all links from the w3m buffer will continue to work
|
|
under Org-mode.
|
|
|
|
For this to work you need to load the new file /org-w3m.el./
|
|
Please check your org-modules variable to make sure that this
|
|
is turned on.
|
|
|
|
Thanks for Richard Riley for the idea and to Andy Stewart for
|
|
the implementation.

*** LOCATION can be inherited for iCalendar export

|
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

*** Keybindings in Remember buffers can be configured
|
|
|
|
The remember buffers created with Org's extensions are in
|
|
Org-mode, which is nice to prepare snippets that will
|
|
actually be stored in Org-mode files. However, this makes it
|
|
hard to configure key bindings without modifying the Org-mode
|
|
keymap. There is now a minor mode active in these buffers,
|
|
`org-remember-mode', and its keymap org-remember-mode-map can
|
|
be used for key bindings. By default, this map only contains
|
|
the bindings for =C-c C-c= to store the note, and =C-c C-k=
|
|
to abort it. Use `org-remember-mode-hook' to define your own
|
|
bindings like
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
|
(add-hook
|
|
'org-remember-mode-hook
|
|
(lambda ()
|
|
(define-key org-remember-mode-map
|
|
"\C-x\C-s" 'org-remember-finalize)))
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
If you wish, you can also use this to free the =C-c C-c=
|
|
binding (by binding this key to nil in the minor mode map),
|
|
so that you can use =C-c C-c= again to set tags.
|
|
|
|
This modification is based on a request by Tim O'Callaghan.
|
|
|
|
*** Support for ido completion
|
|
|
|
You can now get the completion interface from /ido.el/ for
|
|
many of Org's internal completion commands by turning on the
|
|
variable =org-completion-use-ido=. =ido-mode= must also be
|
|
active before you can use this.
|
|
|
|
This change is based upon a request by Samuel Wales.
|
|
|
|
*** New face for date lines in agenda column view
|
|
|
|
When column view is active in the agenda, and when you have
|
|
summarizing properties, the date lines become normal column
|
|
lines and the separation between different days becomes
|
|
harder to see. If this bothers you, you can now customize
|
|
the face =org-agenda-column-dateline=.
|
|
|
|
This is based on a request by George Pearson.
|
|
|
|
*** Invisible targets become now anchors in headlines.
|
|
|
|
These anchors can be used to jump to a directly with an HTML
|
|
link, just like the =sec-xxx= IDs. For example, the
|
|
following will make a http link =//domain/path-to-my-file.html#dummy= work:
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src org
|
|
,# <<dummy>>
|
|
,*** a headline
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
This is based on a request by Matt Lundin.
|
|
|
|
*** New contributed file /org-exp-blocks.el/
|
|
|
|
This new file implements special export behavior of
|
|
user-defined blocks. The currently supported blocks are
|
|
|
|
- comment :: Comment blocks with author-specific markup
|
|
- ditaa :: conversion of ASCII art into pretty png files
|
|
using Stathis Sideris' /ditaa.jar/ program
|
|
- dot :: creation of graphs in the /dot/ language
|
|
- R :: Sweave type exporting using the R program
|
|
|
|
For more details and examples, see the file commentary in /org-exp-blocks.el/.
|
|
|
|
Kudos to Eric Schulte for this new functionality, after /org-plot.el/ already his second major contribution. Thanks
|
|
to Stathis for this excellent program, and for allowing us to
|
|
bundle it with Org-mode.
|
|
|
|
*** New contributed file /org-eval-light.el/
|
|
|
|
This module gives control over execution Emacs Lisp code
|
|
blocks included in a file.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Eric Schulte also for this file.
|
|
|
|
*** Link translation
|
|
|
|
You can now configure Org to understand many links created
|
|
with the Emacs Planner package, so you can cut text from
|
|
planner pages and paste them into Org-mode files without
|
|
having to re-write the links. Among other things, this means
|
|
that the command =org-open-at-point-global= which follows
|
|
links not only in Org-mode, but in arbitrary files like
|
|
source code files etc, will work also with links created by
|
|
planner. The following customization is needed to make all of
|
|
this work
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq org-link-translation-function
|
|
'org-translate-link-from-planner)
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
I guess an inverse translator could be written and integrated
|
|
into Planner.
|
|
|
|
*** BBDB links may use regular expressions.
|
|
|
|
This did work all along, but only now I have documented it.
|
|
|
|
*** =yank-pop= works again after yanking an outline tree
|
|
|
|
Samuel Wales had noticed that =org-yank= did mess up this
|
|
functionality. Now you can use =yank-pop= again, the only
|
|
restriction is that the so-yanked text will not be
|
|
pro/demoted or folded.
|
|
|
|
*** Link abbreviations can use %h to insert a url-encoded target value
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Steve Purcell for a patch to this effect.
|
|
|
|
*** Improved XHTML compliance
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Sebastian Rose for pushing this.
|
|
|
|
*** Many bug fixes again.
|
|
|
|
* Version 6.12
|
|
** Overview
|
|
|
|
- A region of entries can now be refiled with a single command
|
|
- Fine-tuning the behavior of `org-yank'
|
|
- Formulas for clocktables
|
|
- Better implementation of footnotes for HTML export
|
|
- More languages for HTML export.
|
|
|
|
** Details
|
|
|
|
*** A region of entries can now be refiled with a single command
|
|
|
|
With =transient-make-mode= active (=zmacs-regions= under
|
|
XEmacs), you can now select a region of entries and refile
|
|
them all with a single =C-c C-w= command.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Samuel Wales for this useful proposal.
|
|
|
|
*** Fine-tuning the behavior of =org-yank=
|
|
|
|
The behavior of Org's yanking command has been further
|
|
fine-tuned in order to avoid some of the small annoyances
|
|
this command caused.
|
|
|
|
- Calling =org-yank= with a prefix arg will stop any special
|
|
treatment and directly pass through to the normal =yank=
|
|
command. Therefore, you can now force a normal yank with =C-u C-y=.
|
|
|
|
- Subtrees will only be folded after a yank if doing so will
|
|
now swallow any non-white characters after the yanked text.
|
|
This is, I think a really important change to make the
|
|
command work more sanely.
|
|
|
|
*** Formulas for clocktables
|
|
|
|
You can now add formulas to a clock table, either by hand, or
|
|
with a =:formula= parameter. These formulas can be used to
|
|
create additional columns with further analysis of the
|
|
measured times.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Jurgen Defurne for triggering this addition.
|
|
|
|
*** Better implementation of footnotes for HTML export
|
|
|
|
The footnote export in 6.11 really was not good enough. Now
|
|
it works fine. If you have customized =footnote-section-tag=, make sure that your customization is
|
|
matched by =footnote-section-tag-regexp=.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Sebastian Rose for pushing this change.
|
|
|
|
*** More languages for HTML export.
|
|
|
|
More languages are supported during HTML export. This is
|
|
only relevant for the few special words Org inserts, like
|
|
"Table of Contents", or "Footnotes". Also the encoding
|
|
issues with this feature seem to be solved now.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Sebastian Rose for pushing me to fix the encoding
|
|
problems.
|
|
|
|
* Version 6.11

** Details
|
|
|
|
*** Yanking subtree with =C-y= now adjusts the tree level
|
|
When yanking a cut/copied subtree or a series of trees, the
|
|
normal yank key =C-y= now adjusts the level of the tree to
|
|
make it fit into the current outline position, without losing
|
|
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 one. So if the
|
|
cursor is between a level 4 and a level 3 headline, the tree
|
|
will be pasted as level 3. If the cursor is actually *at*
|
|
the beginning of a headline, the level of that headline will
|
|
be used. For example, lets say you have a tree like this:
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src org
|
|
,* Level one
|
|
,** Level two
|
|
,(1)
|
|
,(2)* Level one again
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
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 want =C-y= to behave like this, configure the
|
|
variable =org-yank-adjusted-subtrees=.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Samuel Wales for this idea and a partial implementation.
|
|
|
|
*** State changes can now be shown in the log mode in the agenda
|
|
|
|
If you configure the variable =org-agenda-log-mode-items=,
|
|
you can now request that all logged state changes be included
|
|
in the agenda when log mode is active. If you find this too
|
|
much for normal applications, you can also temporarily
|
|
request the inclusion of state changes by pressing =C-u l= in
|
|
the agenda.
|
|
|
|
This was a request by Hsiu-Khuern Tang.
|
|
|
|
You can also press `C-u C-u l' to get *only* log items in the
|
|
agenda, withour any timestamps/deadlines etc.
|
|
|
|
*** Footnote in HTML export are now collected at the end of the document
|
|
Previously, footnotes would be left in the document where
|
|
they are defined, now they are all collected and put into a
|
|
special =<div>= at the end of the document.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Sebastian Rose for this request.
|
|
|
|
*** HTML export now validates again as XHTML.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Sebastian Rose for pushing this cleanup.
|
|
|
|
*** The clock can now be resumed after exiting and re-starting Emacs
|
|
|
|
If the option =org-clock-in-resume= is t, and the first clock
|
|
line in an entry is unclosed, clocking into that task resumes
|
|
the clock from that time.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to James TD Smith for a patch to this effect.
|
|
|
|
*** Clock-related data can be saved and resumed across Emacs sessions
|
|
|
|
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 to your .emacs
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq org-clock-persist t)
|
|
(setq org-clock-in-resume t)
|
|
(org-clock-persistence-insinuate)
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
Thanks to James TD Smith for a patch to this effect.
|
|
|
|
*** Following file links can now use C-u C-u to force use of an external app.
|
|
|
|
So far you could only bypass your setup in `org-file-apps'
|
|
and force opening a file link in Emacs by using a =C-u= prefix arg
|
|
with =C-c C-o=. Now you can call =C-u C-u C-c C-o= to force
|
|
an external application. Which external application depends
|
|
on your system. On Mac OS X and Windows, =open= is used. On
|
|
a GNU/Linux system, the mailcap settings are used.
|
|
|
|
This was a proposal by Samuel Wales.
|
|
|
|
*** Inserting absolute files names now abbreviates links with "~".
|
|
|
|
Inserting file links with =C-u C-c C-l= was buggy if the
|
|
setting of `org-link-file-path-type' was `adaptive' (the
|
|
default). Absolute file paths were not abbreviated relative
|
|
to the users home directory. This bug has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Matt Lundin for the report.
|
|
|
|
*** Links to attachment files
|
|
|
|
Even though one of the purposes of entry attachments was to
|
|
reduce the number of links in an entry, one might still want
|
|
to have the occasional link to one of those files. You can
|
|
now use link abbreviations to set up a special link type that
|
|
points to attachments in the current entry. Note that such
|
|
links will only work from within the same entry that has the
|
|
attachment, because the directory path is entry specific.
|
|
Here is the setup you need:
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq org-link-abbrev-alist '(("att" . org-attach-expand-link)))
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
After this, a link like this will work
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
|
|
[[att:some-attached-file.txt]]
|
|
#+END_EXAMPLE
|
|
This was a proposal by Lindsay Todd.
|
|
|
|
*** Completed repeated tasks listed briefly in agenda
|
|
|
|
When a repeating task, listed in the daily/weekly agenda under
|
|
today's date, is completed from the agenda, it is listed as
|
|
DONE in the agenda until the next update happens. After the
|
|
next update, the task will have disappeared, of course,
|
|
because the new date is no longer today.
|
|
|
|
*** Remove buffers created during publishing are removed
|
|
|
|
Buffers that are created during publishing are now deleted
|
|
when the publishing is over. At least I hope it works like this.
|
|
|
|
* Version 6.10
|
|
|
|
** Overview
|
|
|
|
- Secondary agenda filtering is becoming a killer feature
|
|
- Setting tags has now its own binding, =C-c C-q=
|
|
- Todo state changes can trigger tag changes
|
|
- C-RET will now always insert a new headline, never an item.
|
|
- Customize org-mouse.el feature set to free up mouse events
|
|
- New commands for export all the way to PDF (through LaTeX)
|
|
- Some bug fixed for LaTeX export, more bugs remain.
|
|

|
** Details
|
|
|
|
*** Enhancements to secondary agenda filtering
|
|
|
|
This is, I believe, becoming a killer feature. It allows you
|
|
to define fewer and more general custom agenda commands, and
|
|
then to do the final narrowing to specific tasks you are
|
|
looking for very quickly, much faster than calling a new
|
|
agenda command.
|
|
|
|
If you have not tries this yet, you should!
|
|
|
|
**** You can now refining the current filter by an additional criterion
|
|
When filtering an existing agenda view with =/=, you can
|
|
now narrow down the existing selection by an additional
|
|
condition. Do do this, use =\= instead of =/= to add the
|
|
additional criterion. You can also press =+= or =-= after =/= to add a positive or negative condition. A condition
|
|
can be a TAG, or an effort estimate limit, see below.
|
|
|
|
**** It is now possible to filter for effort estimates
|
|
This means to filter the agenda for the value of the Effort
|
|
property. For this you should best set up global allowed
|
|
values for effort estimates, with
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq org-global-properties
|
|
'(("Effort_ALL" . "0 0:10 0:30 1:00 2:00 3:00 4:00")))
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
You may then select effort limits with single keys in the
|
|
filter. It works like this: After =/= or =\=, first select
|
|
the operator which you want to use to compare effort
|
|
estimates:
|
|
|
|
: < Select entries with effort smaller than or equal to the limit
|
|
: > Select entries with effort larger than or equal to the limit
|
|
: = Select entries with effort equal to the limit
|
|
|
|
After that, you can press a single digit number which is
|
|
used as an index to the allowed effort estimates.
|
|
|
|
If you do not use digits to fast-select tags, you can even
|
|
skip the operator, which will then default to
|
|
`org-agenda-filter-effort-default-operator', which is by
|
|
default =<=.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Manish for the great idea to include fast effort
|
|
filtering into the agenda filtering process.
|
|
|
|
**** The mode line will show the active filter
|
|
For example, if there is a filter in place that does select
|
|
for HOME tags, against EMAIL tags, and for tasks with an
|
|
estimated effort smaller than 30 minutes, the mode-line with
|
|
show =+HOME-EMAIL+<0:30=
|
|
|
|
**** The filter now persists when the agenda view is refreshed
|
|
All normal refresh commands, including those that move the
|
|
weekly agenda from one week to the next, now keep the
|
|
current filter in place.
|
|
|
|
You need to press =/ /= to turn off the filter. However,
|
|
when you run a new agenda command, for example going from
|
|
the weekly agenda to the TODO list, the filter will be
|
|
switched off.
|
|
|
|
*** Setting tags has now its own binding, =C-c C-q=
|
|
|
|
You can still use =C-c C-c= on a headline, but the new
|
|
binding should be considered as the main binding for this
|
|
command. The reasons for this change are:
|
|
|
|
- Using =C-c C-c= for tags is really out of line with other
|
|
uses of =C-c C-c=.
|
|
|
|
- I hate it in Remember buffers when I try to set tags and I
|
|
cannot, because =C-c C-c= exits the buffer :-(
|
|
|
|
- =C-c C-q= will also work when the cursor is somewhere down
|
|
in the entry, it does not have to be on the headline.
|
|
|
|
*** Todo state changes can trigger tag changes
|
|
|
|
The new option =org-todo-state-tags-triggers= can be used to
|
|
define automatic changes to tags when a TODO state changes.
|
|
For example, the setting
|
|
|
|
: (setq org-todo-state-tags-triggers
|
|
: '((done ("Today" . nil) ("NEXT" . nil))
|
|
: ("WAITING" ("Today" . t))))
|
|
|
|
will make sure that any change to any of the DONE states will
|
|
remove tags "Today" and "NEXT", while switching to the
|
|
"WAITING" state will trigger the tag "Today" to be added.
|
|
|
|
I use this mostly to get rid of TODAY and NEXT tags which I
|
|
apply to select an entry for execution in the near future,
|
|
which I often prefer to specific time scheduling.
|
|
|
|
*** C-RET will now always insert a new headline, never an item.
|
|
The new headline is inserted after the current subtree.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Peter Jones for patches to fine-tune this behavior.
|
|
|
|
*** Customize org-mouse.el feature set
|
|
There is a new variable =org-mouse-features= which gives you
|
|
some control about what features of org-mouse you want to
|
|
use. Turning off some of the feature will free up the
|
|
corresponding mouse events, or will avoid activating special
|
|
regions for mouse clicks. By default I have urned off the
|
|
feature to use drag mouse events to move or promote/demote
|
|
entries. You can of course turn them back on if you wish.
|
|
|
|
This variable may still change in the future, allowing more
|
|
fine-grained control.
|
|
|
|
*** New commands for export to PDF
|
|
|
|
This is using LaTeX export, and then processes it to PDF
|
|
using pdflatex.
|
|
|
|
: C-c C-e p process to PDF.
|
|
: C-c C-e d process to PDF, and open the file.
|
|
|
|
*** LaTeX export
|
|
- \usepackage{graphicx} is now part of the standard class
|
|
definitions.
|
|
- Several bugs fixed, but definitely not all of them :-(
|
|
|
|
*** New option `org-log-state-notes-insert-after-drawers'
|
|
|
|
Set this to =t= if you want state change notes to be inserted
|
|
after any initial drawers, i.e drawers the immediately follow
|
|
the headline and the planning line (the one with

*** =org-file-apps= now uses regular expressions, see [[*%20org%20file%20apps%20now%20uses%20regular%20repressions%20instead%20of%20extensions][below]]

|
|
|
*** =org-file-apps= now uses regular repressions instead of extensions
|
|
Just like in =auto-mode-alist=, car's in the variable =org-file-apps= that are strings are now interpreted as
|
|
regular expressions that are matched against a file name. So
|
|
instead of "txt", you should now write "\\.txt\\'" to make
|
|
sure the matching is done correctly (even though "txt" will
|
|
be recognized and still be interpreted as an extension).
|
|
|
|
There is now a shortcut to get many file types visited by
|
|
Emacs. If org-file-apps contains `(auto-mode . emacs)', then
|
|
any files that are matched by `auto-mode-alist' will be
|
|
visited in emacs.
|
|
|
|
*** Changes to the attachment system
|
|
|
|
- The default method to attach a file is now to copy it
|
|
instead of moving it.
|
|
- You can modify the default method using the variable
|
|
`org-attach-method'. I believe that most Unix people want
|
|
to set it to `ln' to create hard links.
|
|
- The keys =c=, =m=, and =l= specifically select =copy=, =move=, or =link=, respectively, as the attachment method
|
|
for a file, overruling `org-attach-method'.
|
|
- To create a new attachment as an Emacs buffer, you have not
|
|
now use =n= instead of =c=.
|
|
- The file list is now always retrieved from the directory
|
|
itself, not from the "Attachments" property. We still
|
|
keep this property by default, but you can turn it off, by
|
|
customizing the variable =org-attach-file-list-property=.

|
|
*** The default structure of IDs has changed
|
|
|
|
IDs created by Org have changed a bit:
|
|
- By default, there is no prefix on the ID. There used to be
|
|
an "Org" prefix, but I now think this is not necessary.
|
|
- IDs use only lower-case letters, no upper-case letters
|
|
anymore. The reason for this is that IDs are now also used
|
|
as directory names for org-attach, and some systems do not
|
|
distinguish upper and lower case in the file system.
|
|
- The ID string derived from the current time is now /reversed/ to become an ID. This assures that the first
|
|
two letters of the ID change fast, so hat it makes sense to
|
|
split them off to create subdirectories to balance load.
|
|
- You can now set the `org-id-method' to `uuidgen' on systems
|
|
which support it.
|
|
|
|
*** =C-c C-a= no longer calls `show-all'
|
|
|
|
The reason for this is that =C-c C-a= is now used for the
|
|
attachment system. On the rare occasions that this command
|
|
is needed, use =M-x show-all=, or =C-u C-u C-u TAB=.
|
|
|
|
*** New attachment system
|
|
|
|
You can now attach files to each node in the outline tree.
|
|
This works by creating special directories based on the ID of
|
|
an entry, and storing files in these directories. Org can
|
|
keep track of changes to the attachments by automatically
|
|
committing changes to git. See the manual for more
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to John Wiegley who contributed this fantastic new
|
|
concept and wrote org-attach.el to implement it.
|
|
|
|
*** New remember template escapes
|
|
|
|
: %^{prop}p to insert a property
|
|
: %k the heading of the item currently being clocked
|
|
: %K a link to the heading of the item currently being clocked
|
|
|
|
Also, when you exit remember with =C-2 C-c C-c=, the item
|
|
will be filed as a child of the item currently being
|
|
clocked. So the idea is, if you are working on something and
|
|
think of a new task related to this or a new note to be
|
|
added, you can use this to quickly add information to that
|
|
task.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to James TD Smith for a patch to this effect.
|
|
|
|
*** Clicking with mouse-2 on clock info in mode-line visits the clock.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to James TD Smith for a patch to this effect.
|
|
|
|
*** New file in contrib: lisp/org-checklist.el
|
|
|
|
This module deals with repeated tasks that have checkbox
|
|
lists below them.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to James TD Smith for this contribution.
|
|
|
|
*** New in-buffer setting #+STYLE
|
|
|
|
It can be used to locally set the variable
|
|
`org-export-html-style-extra'. Several such lines are
|
|
allowed-, they will all be concatenated. For an example on
|
|
how to use it, see the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-publish-html-tutorial.php][publishing tutorial]].

|
|
|
|
*** Prefix interpretation when storing remember notes has changed
|
|
|
|
The prefix argument to the `C-c C-c' command that finishes a
|
|
remember process is now interpreted differently:
|
|
|
|
: C-c C-c Store the note to predefined file and headline
|
|
: C-u C-c C-c Like C-c C-c, but immediately visit the note
|
|
: in its new location.
|
|
: C-1 C-c C-c Select the storage location interactively
|
|
: C-0 C-c C-c Re-use the last used location
|
|
|
|
This was requested by John Wiegley.
|
|
|
|
*** Capturing column view is now on `C-c C-x i'
|
|
|
|
The reason for this change was that `C-c C-x r' is also used
|
|
as a tty key replacement.
|
|
|
|
*** Categories in iCalendar export now include local tags
|
|
|
|
The locally defined tags are now listed as categories when
|
|
exporting to iCalendar format. Org's traditional file/tree
|
|
category is now the last category in this list. Configure
|
|
the variable =org-icalendar-categories= to modify or revert
|
|
this behavior.
|
|
|
|
This was a request by Charles Philip Chan.

|
** Details
|
|
|
|
*** Secondary filtering of agenda views.
|
|
|
|
You can now easily and interactively filter an existing
|
|
agenda view with respect to a tag. This command is executed
|
|
with the =/= key in the agenda. You will be prompted for a
|
|
tag selection key, and all entries that do not contain or
|
|
inherit the corresponding tag will be hidden. With a prefix
|
|
argument, the opposite filter is applied: entries that
|
|
do have the tag will be hidden.
|
|
|
|
This operation only /hides/ lines in the agenda buffer, it
|
|
does not remove them. Changing the secondary filtering does
|
|
not require a new search and is very fast.
|
|
|
|
If you press TAB at the tag selection prompt, you will be
|
|
switched to a completion interface to select a tag. This is
|
|
useful when you want to select a tag that does not have a
|
|
direct access character.
|
|
|
|
A double =/ /= will restore the original agenda view by
|
|
unhiding any hidden lines.
|
|
|
|
This functionality was John Wiegley's idea. It is a simpler
|
|
implementation of some of the query-editing features proposed
|
|
and implemented some time ago by Christopher League (see the
|
|
file contrib/lisp/org-interactive-query.el).
|
|
|
|
*** Editing fixed-width regions with picture or artist mode
|
|
|
|
The command @<code>C-c '@</code> (that is =C-c= followed by a
|
|
single quote) can now also be used to switch to a special
|
|
editing mode for fixed-width sections. The default mode is =artist-mode= which allows you to create ASCII drawings.
|
|
|
|
It works like this: Enter the editing mode with
|
|
@<code>C-c '@</code>. An indirect buffer will be created and
|
|
narrowed to the fixed-width region. Edit the drawing, and
|
|
press @<code>C-c '@</code> again to exit.
|
|
|
|
Lines in a fixed-width region should be preceded by a colon
|
|
followed by at least one space. These will be removed during
|
|
editing, and then added back when you exit the editing mode.
|
|
|
|
Using the command in an empty line will create a new
|
|
fixed-width region.
|
|
|
|
This new feature arose from a discussion involving Scott
|
|
Otterson, Sebastian Rose and Will Henney.
|
|
|
|
*** /org-plot.el/ is now part of Org.
|
|
|
|
You can run it by simple calling org-plot/gnuplot.
|
|
Documentation is not yet included with Org, please refer to
|
|
http://github.com/eschulte/org-plot/tree/master until we have
|
|
moved the docs into Org or Worg.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Eric Schulte for this great contribution.
|
|
|
|
*** Tags can be used to select the export part of a document
|
|
|
|
You may now use tags to select parts of a document for
|
|
inclusion into the export, and to exclude other parts. This
|
|
behavior is governed by two new variables: =org-export-select-tags= and =org-export-exclude-tags=.
|
|
These default to =("export")= and =("noexport")=, but can be
|
|
changed, even to include a list of several tags.
|
|
|
|
Org first checks if any of the /select/ tags is present in
|
|
the buffer. If yes, all trees that do not carry one of these
|
|
tags will be excluded. If a selected tree is a subtree, the
|
|
heading hierarchy above it will also be selected for export,
|
|
but not the text below those headings. If none of the select
|
|
tags is found anywhere in the buffer, the whole buffer will
|
|
be selected for export. Finally, all subtrees that are
|
|
marked by any of the /exclude/ tags will be removed from the
|
|
export buffer.
|
|
|
|
You may set these tags with in-buffer options =EXPORT_SELECT_TAGS= and =EXPORT_EXCLUDE_TAGS=.
|
|
|
|
I love this feature. Thanks to Richard G Riley for coming
|
|
up with the idea.

|
: C-u C-c C-c Like C-c C-c, but immediately visit the note

|

|
|
: C-1 C-c C-c Select the storage location interactively
|
|
: C-0 C-c C-c Re-use the last used location
|
|
|
|
This was requested by John Wiegley.
|
|
|
|
*** Yanking inserts folded subtrees
|
|
|
|
If the kill is a subtree or a sequence of subtrees, yanking
|
|
them with =C-y= will leave all the subtrees in a folded
|
|
state. This basically means, that kill and yank are now
|
|
much more useful in moving stuff around in your outline. If
|
|
you do not like this, customize the variable =org-yank-folded-subtrees=.
|
|
|
|
Right now, I am only binding =C-y= to this new function,
|
|
should I modify all bindings of yank? Do we need to amend =yank-pop= as well?
|
|
|
|
This feature was requested by John Wiegley.
|
|
|
|
*** Column view capture tables can have formulas, plotting info
|
|
|
|
If you attach formulas and plotting instructions to a table
|
|
capturing column view, these extra lines will now survive an
|
|
update of the column view capture, and any formulas will be
|
|
re-applied to the captured table. This works by keeping any
|
|
continuous block of comments before and after the actual
|
|
table.
|
|
|
|
*** In column view, date stamps can be changed with S-cursor keys
|
|
|
|
If a property value is a time stamp, S-left and S-right can
|
|
now be used to shift this date around while in column view.
|
|
|
|
This was a request by Chris Randle.
|
|
|
|
*** The note buffer for clocking out now mentions the task
|
|
|
|
This was a request by Peter Frings.
|
|
|
|
*** Sorting entries alphabetically ignores TODO keyword and priority
|
|
|
|
Numerical and alphanumerical sorting now skips any TODO
|
|
keyword or priority cookie when constructing the comparison
|
|
string. This was a request by Wanrong Lin.
|
|
|
|
*** Agenda views can sort entries by TODO state
|
|
|
|
You can now define a sorting strategy for agenda entries that
|
|
does look at the TODO state of the entries. Sorting by TODO
|
|
entry does first separate the non-done from the done states.
|
|
Within each class, the entries are sorted not alphabetically,
|
|
but in definition order. So if you have a sequence of TODO
|
|
entries defined, the entries will be sorted according to the
|
|
position of the keyword in this sequence.
|
|
|
|
This follows an idea and sample implementation by Christian
|
|
Egli.
|
|
|
|
*** New face =org-scheduled= for entries scheduled in the future.
|
|
|
|
This was a request by Richard G Riley.

*** The file specification in a remember template may now be a function
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Gregory Sullivan for a patch to this effect.
|
|
|
|
*** Categories in iCalendar export now include local tags
|
|
|
|
The locally defined tags are now listed as categories when
|
|
exporting to iCalendar format. Org's traditional file/tree
|
|
category is now the last category in this list. Configure
|
|
the variable =org-icalendar-categories= to modify or revert
|
|
this behavior.
|
|
|
|
This was a request by Charles Philip Chan.
|
|
|
|
*** It is now possible to define filters for column view
|
|
|
|
The filter can modify the value that will be displayed in a
|
|
column, for example it can cut out a part of a time stamp.
|
|
For more information, look at the variable =org-columns-modify-value-for-display-function=.

*** Disabling integer increment during table field copy
|
|
|
|
Prefix arg 0 to S-RET does the trick.
