Structure editing: Improved item/headline conversion
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.

*** Macros for export
2009-05-22 08:05:52 +00:00
2009-05-21 12:08:12 +00:00
Macro processing for export has been enhanced:
- You can use arguments in a macro, for example
#+begin_src org
#+macro hello Greet the $1: Hello $1
#+end_src
which would turn ={{{hello(world)}}}= into =Greet the world: Hello world=
2009-05-22 08:05:52 +00:00
- The macro value can be an emacs-lisp for to be evaluated at the
time of export:
#+begin_src org
,#+macro: datetime (eval (format-time-string "$1"))
#+end_src
2009-05-21 12:08:12 +00:00
- More built-in default macros:
- date(FORMAT_TIME_STRING) :: Time/Date of export
- time(FORMAT_TIME_STRING) :: Same as date
- modification-time(FORMAT_TIME_STRING) :: Last modification of file
- input-file :: Name of the input file
2009-05-22 08:05:52 +00:00
The new built-in macros have been requested by Daniel Clemente.

*** Start Agenda with log mode active
2009-05-21 12:08:12 +00:00
Set the new option =org-agenda-start-with-log-mode= to have
log mode turned on from the start. Or set this option for
specific custom commands.
2009-05-22 08:05:52 +00:00
Thanks to Benjamin Andresen for a patch to this effect.
2009-05-18 13:59:05 +00:00
*** Tables in LaTeX without centering
2009-05-22 08:05:52 +00:00
Set the variable `org-export-latex-tables-centered' to nil if you
prefer tables not to be horizontally centered. Note that
longtable tables are always centered.
2009-05-18 13:59:05 +00:00
*** Source file publishing
2009-05-22 08:05:52 +00:00
It is now easy to publish the Org sources along with, for
example, HTML files. In your publishing project, replace
: :publishing-function org-publish-org-to-html
with
: :publishing-function (org-publish-org-to-html org-publish-org-to-org)
: :plain-source t
: :htmlized-source t
to get both the plain org file and an htmlized version that
looks like your editing buffer published along with the HTML
exported version.
2009-05-18 13:59:05 +00:00
*** LaTeX: TODO markup configurable
2009-05-22 08:05:52 +00:00
The markup for TODO keywords in LaTeX export is now configurable
using the variable =org-export-latex-todo-keyword-markup= .
2009-05-18 13:59:05 +00:00
*** Link completion for files and bbdb names
2009-05-22 08:05:52 +00:00
Org now has a general mechanism how modules can provide enhanced
support (for example through completion) when adding a link. For
example, when inserting a link with =C-c C-l= , you can now type
=file:= followed by =RET= to get completion support for inserting
a file. After entering =bbdb:= and =RET= , a completion interface
will allow to complete names in the BBDB database. These are the
only ones implemented right now, but modules that add a link type
=xyz:= can simple define =org-xyz-complete-link= that should
return the full link with prefix after aiding the used to create
the link. For example, if you have =http= links that you have to
insert very often, you could define a function
=org-http-complete-link= to help selecting the most common ones.
*** Accessibility improvements for HTTP tables
When exporting tables to HTML, Org now adds =scope= attributes to
all header fields, in order to support screen readers.
Setting the variable
=org-export-html-table-use-header-tags-for-first-column= will
request using =<th>= instead of =<td>= also in the entire first
column, so that also row information can be scoped. This was
triggered by a request by Jan Buchal, and as usually Sebastian
Rose came up with the right implementation.
*** New contributed package /org-special-blocks.el/
The package turns any "undefined" =#+begin_...= blocks into LaTeX
environments for LaTeX export, and into =<div>= tags for HTML
export.
Thanks to Chris Gray for this contribution.
*** Timezone information in iCalendar files
The timezone information in iCalendar files is now written in the
correct format, and can be set in the variable
=org-ical-timezone= . This variable is initialized from the =TZ=
environment variable.
2009-05-18 13:59:05 +00:00
2009-05-22 08:05:52 +00:00
*** ASCII export to buffer
2009-05-18 13:59:05 +00:00
2009-05-22 08:05:52 +00:00
ASCII export has now the same command variations as the other
export backends, for example exporting to a temporary buffer
instead of a file.
2009-05-18 13:59:05 +00:00
2009-05-22 08:05:52 +00:00
The was a request by Samuel Wales.

*** Push exported stuff to kill ring
2009-05-18 13:59:05 +00:00
2009-05-22 08:05:52 +00:00
All exporters now push the produced material onto the kill-ring
in Emacs, and also to the external clipboard and the primary
selection to make it easy to paste this under many circumstances.
*** More flexibility about placing logging notes.
Logging into a drawer can now also be set for individual
subtrees using the =LOG_INTO_DRAWER= property.
Requested by Daniel J. Sinder
*** New reload key
Reloading Org has moved to a new key, =C-c C-x != , and is now
also available in the agenda.
2009-05-18 13:59:05 +00:00
*** Agenda speed optimizations
2009-05-22 08:05:52 +00:00
Depending on circumstances, construction the agenda has become a
lot faster.
Triggered by Eric S Fraga's reports about using Org on a slow
computer like a netbook.
2009-05-18 13:59:05 +00:00
*** Properties to disambiguate statistics
2009-05-22 08:05:52 +00:00
When an entry has both check boxes and TODO children, it is not
clear what kind of statistics a cookie should show You can now use
the =COOKIE_DATA= property to disambiguate, by giving it a value
"todo" or "checkbox".
*** Checkboxes and TODO items: recursive statistics
Setting the variable =org-hierarchical-checkbox-statistics= to
=nil= will make statistics cookies count all checkboxes in the
lit hierarchy below it.
Setting the variable =org-hierarchical-todo-statistics= to
=nil= will do the same for TODO items.
To turn on recursive statistics only for a single subtree, add the
word "recursive" to the =COOKIE_DATA= property. Note that you
can have such a property containing both "todo" or "checkbox" for
disambiguation, and the word "recursive", separated by a space
character.
The change for checkboxes was a patch by Richard Klinda.
2009-05-21 12:08:12 +00:00
*** New operators for column view
2009-05-22 08:05:52 +00:00
Column view has new operators for computing the minimum,
maximum, and mean of property values.
Thanks to Mikael Fornius for a patch to this effect.
*** New face =org-agenda-date-today=
The date that is today can now be highlighted in the agenda by
customizing the face =org-agenda-date-today= .
Thanks to Dmitri Minaev for a patch to this effect.
2009-05-18 13:59:05 +00:00
* Version 6.26
** Details
2009-04-19 06:20:47 +00:00
*** custom IDs
Entries can now define a =CUSTOM_ID= property. This property
must be a valid ID according to HTML rules, and it will be used
in HTML export as the main target ID for this entry. That means,
both the table of conents and other internal links will
automatically point to this ID instead of the automatic ID like
=sec-1.1= . This is useful to create humar-readable permanent
links to these location in a document.
The user is responsible to make sure that custom IDs are unique
within a file.
Links written like =[[#my-target-name] ]= can be used to target a
custom ID.
When using =C-c l= to store a link to a headline that has a
custom ID, Org will now create two links at the same time. One
link will be to the custom ID. The other will be to the globaly
unique ID property. When inserting the line with =C-c C-l= , you
need to decide which one you want to use. Use the ID links for
entries that are expected to move from one file to the next. Use
custom ID links publishing projects, when you are sure that te
entry will stay in that file. See also the variable
=org-link-to-org-use-id= .
*** Remember to non-org files
If the target headline part of a remember template definition
entry is =top= or =bottom= , the target file may now be a
non-Org-mode file. In this case, the content of the remember
buffer will be added to that file without enforcing an Org-like
headline. Sorry, Russel, that this took so long.
*** New property to turn off todo dependencies locally
Setting the property =NOBLOCKING= will turn off TODO dependency
checking for this entry.
*** Refile verify
A new function is called to verify tasks that are about to be
selected as remember targets. See the new variable
=org-refile-target-verify-function= .
*** New version org ditaa.jar
Thanks to Stathis Sideris.
*** htmlize.el is now in the contrib directory
The latest version of htmlize.el is now the in the contrib
directory of Org. Thanks to Hrvoje Niksic for allowing this.

** Major new features
2009-04-01 14:00:39 +00:00
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
*** DocBook export
We now do have a fully functional DocBook exporter, contributed by
Baoqiu Cui. Simple press =C-c e D= to export the current file to
DocBook format. You can also get direct conversion to PDF if you have
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
made the correct setup, please see the manual for details.
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
Kudos to Baoqiu for this fantastic addition, and my personal thanks
for doing this in a such a smooth way that I did not have to do
anything myself.
*** Protocols for external access to Emacs and Org
/org-protocol.el/ is a new module that supersedes both
/org-annotation-helper.el/ and /org-browser.el/ and replaces them
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
with a more abstracted interface. /org-protocol/ intercepts
calls from emacsclient to trigger custom actions without external
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
dependencies. Only one protocol has to be configured with your
external applications or the operating system, to trigger an
arbitrary number of custom actions. Just register your custom
sub-protocol and handler with the new variable
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
=org-protocol-protocol-alist= .
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
org-protocol comes the with three standard protocol handlers (in
parenthesis the name of the sub-protocol):
- =org-protocol-remember= (=remember= ) :: Trigger remember
- =org-protocol-store-link= (=store-link= ) :: Store a link
- =org-protocol-open-source= (=open-source= ) :: Find the local
source of a remote web page.
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
Passing data to emacs is now as easy as calling
: emacsclient org-protocol://sub-protocol:/ /data
For more information see the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.php ][online documentation ]]
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
Thanks to Sebastian Rose for this really beautiful module.
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
*** Inline tasks
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
Inline tasks are tasks that have all the properties of normal
outline nodes, including the ability to store meta data like
scheduling dates, TODO state, tags and properties. But these
tasks are not meant to introduce additional outline structure, at
least as far as visibility cycling and export is concerned. They
are useful for adding tasks in extensive pieces of text where
interruption of the flow or restructuring is unwanted.
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
This feature is not turned on by default, you need to configure
=org-modules= to turn it on, or simply add to you .emacs file:
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
: (require 'org-inlinetask)
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
After that, tasks with level 15 (30 stars when using
org-odd-levels-only) will be treated as inline tasks, and
fontification will make obvious which tasks are treated in this
way.
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
*** Input from RSS feeds
Org can now collect tasks from an RSS feed, a great method to get
stuff from online call and note-taking services into your trusted
system. You need to configure the feeds in the variable
=org-feed-alist= . The manual contains a short description, more
detailed information is [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-feed.php ][available on Worg ]].
Full credit goes to Brad Bozarth who really [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/12251 ][paved the way ]] for this
exciting new feature.
** Export
2009-04-01 14:00:39 +00:00
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
*** Allow modification of table attributes in HTML export
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
The #+ATTR_HTML line can now be used to set attributes for a
table. Attributes listed in that line will replace existing
attributes in =org-export-html-table-tag= , or will add new ones.
For example
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
: #+ATTR_HTML: border="2" rules= "all" frame="all"
: #+CAPTION: Finally a table with lines!
: | a | b |
: |---|---|
: | 1 | 2 |
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
*** LaTeX low levels are now exported as itemize lists
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
LaTeX export now treats hierarchy levels 4,5, etc as itemize
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
lists, not as description lists as before. This is more
consistent with the behavior of HTML export. You can configure
this behavior using the variable =org-export-latex-low-levels= .
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
*** Markup for centering.
Text can be exported centered with
#+begin_src org
,#+BEGIN_CENTER
,Everything should be made as simple as possible, \\
,but not any simpler
,#+END_CENTER
#+end_src
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
*** Sitemap file is now /sitemap.org/
Org-publish can produce a list of all files in a project.
Previously the file containing this list was called "index.org",
really a brain-dead default because during publication it would
overwrite the "index.html" file of the website.
The default file name is now "sitemap.org"
*** Protect explicit target links in HTML export
If a link is =[[#name] [desc]]= , the href produced when exporting
the file will be exactly href="#name". So starting a link target
with # will indicate that there will be an explicit target for
this.
*** HTML export: Allow "- ___" to explicitly terminate a list
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
If a list contains "- ___" (three underscores) as an item, this
terminates the list, ignoring this item. This is an experimental
feature, it may disappear again if we find other ways to deal
with literal examples right after lists.
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
See [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/12299/focus%3D12312 ][this mailing list thread ]] for context.
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
** Agenda
*** Changing the time of an entry from the agenda
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
We now have a way to change not only the date, but also the start
time of an entry from the agenda. The date is normally changed
with S-right/left. Now, if you add a C-u prefix, the hour will
be changed. If you immediately press S-right/left again, hours
will continue to be changed. A double prefix will do the same
for minutes. If the entry has a time range like 14:40-16:00,
then both times will change, preserving the length of the
appointment.
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
*** Show saved PDF agenda view with prefix arg
When writing an agenda view to a PDF file, supplying a a prefix
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
argument (=C-u C-x C-w= ) will get the new file displayed
immediately.
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
This was a request by Alan E Davis.
*** Filter for entries with no effort defined
During secondary agenda filtering, pressing "?" now will install a
filter that selects entries which do not have an effort defined.
This new model was necessary because we needed to stop interpreting
entries with no effort defines as 0 effort. This was inconsistent,
because for normal agenda sorting, the treatment of these entries
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
depends on the variable =org-sort-agenda-noeffort-is-high= . Now this
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
variable is also respected during filtering.
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
This new feature resulted from a [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/12493 ][discussion ]] with Matt Lundin and
Bernt Hansen.
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
*** Introduce user-defined sorting operators
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
The new variable =org-agenda-cmp-user-defined= can contain a
function to test how two entries should be compared during
sorting. The symbols =user-defined-up= and =user-defined-down=
can then be part of any sorting strategy.
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
This was a request by Samuel Wales.
*** Indentation of subitems in the agenda
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
When a tags/property match does match an entry and it's
sublevels, the sublevels used to be indented by dots, to indicate
that the matches likely result from tag inheritance. This is now
no longer the default, so the subitems will not get special
indentation. You can get this behavior back with
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
: (setq org-tags-match-list-sublevels 'indented)
*** Stuck projects search now searches subtrees of unstuck projects
When, during a stuck-project search, a project tree is identified
as not stuck, so far the search would continue after the end of
the project tree. From now on, the search continues in the
subtree, so that stuck subprojects can still be identified.
** Miscellaneous
*** Citations: Use RefTeX to insert citations
RefTeX can now be used to create a citation in Org-mode buffers.
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
Setup the buffer with
#+begin_src org
,#+BIBLIOGRAPHY: bibbase style
#+end_src
and create citations with =C-c C-x [= .
Together with org-exp-bibtex.el by Taru Karttunen (available as a
contributed package), this provides a great environment for
including citations into HTML and LaTeX documents.
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
*** Changing time ranges as a block
When using the S-cursor keys to change the first time in a time
range like
: <2009-04-01 Wed 14:40-16:40 >
then the end time will change along, so that the duration of the
event will stay the same.
This was a request by Anupam Sengupta.
*** New sparse tree command
A new sparse tree command shows entries with times after a certain
date. Keys are =C-c / a= , this command is for symmetry
with =C-c / b= .
*** Cloning tasks
A new command allows to create clone copies of the current entry,
with shifted dates in all stamps in the entry. This is useful to
create, for example, a series of entries for a limited time
period. I am using it to prepare lectures, for example.
*** New face for checkboxes
Checkboxes now have their own face, =org-checkbox= . This can be
used for nice effects, for example choosing a face with a box
around it:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(custom-set-faces
(org-checkbox ((t (:background "#444444" :foreground "white"
:box (:line-width 1 :style released-button)))))
#+end_src
*** M-a and M-e for navigation in a table field
In tables fields, the sentence commands =M-a= and =M-e= are
redefined to jump to the beginning or end of the field.
This was a request by Bastien Guerry.
*** Backup files for remember buffers
Sometimes users report that they lost data when not immediately
storing a new remember note, and then later exiting Emacs or
starting a new remember process.
Now you can set the variable =org-remember-backup-directory= .
Each remember buffer created will then get its own unique file
name in that directory, and the file will be removed only if the
storing of the note to an Org files was successful.
*** org-mac-message.el: New functions to access flagged mail
Christopher Suckling has added functionality to
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
/org-mac-message.el/ . In particular, you can now select a number
of messages and easily get links to all of them with a single
command. For details, see the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-mac-message.php ][online documentation ]].

*** Read-date: New hook
2009-04-01 11:47:07 +00:00
The new hook =org-read-date-minibuffer-setup-hook= is called when
2009-04-01 10:56:00 +00:00
setting up the minibuffer for reading a date. If can be used to

** Incompatible changes
2009-03-04 16:19:51 +00:00
*** Tag searches are now case-sensitive
From this release on, tag searches will be case sensitive. While
I still think it would be nice to have them case-insensitive,
this was both an inconsistency (TODO keyword searches have always
been case-sensitive), and trouble for coding some efficient
algorithms. So please make sure that you give the tags with
correct casing when prompted for a match expression.
2009-03-03 09:20:23 +00:00
*** New key for creating tags/property sparse trees
The key to produce a sparse tree matching tags and properties is
now =C-c / m= instead of =C-c a T= . This is also more consistent
with the =C-c a m= key for the corresponding agenda view.
=C-c / T= will still work for now, but it is no longer advertised
in the documentation and may go away at any time in the future.
2009-03-03 13:05:38 +00:00
*** IDs in HTML have "ID-" prefix when generated by uuidgen
2009-03-04 16:19:51 +00:00
/uuidgen/ generates IDs that often start with a number, not a
2009-03-03 13:05:38 +00:00
latter. However, IDs and names in XHTML must start with a letter.
Therefore, IDs in HTML files will now get an "ID-" prefix if they
have been generated by uuidgen. This means that id links from one
file to another may stop working until all files have been
exported again.
2009-03-03 17:26:41 +00:00
*** In agenda, only priority cookies get the special face
So far, an entire task would get a special face when
=org-agenda-fontify-priorities= was set. Now, the default value
for this variable is the symbol =cookies= , which means that on
the cookie is fontified. Set it to =t= if you want the entire
task headline to be fontified.
2009-02-27 07:41:02 +00:00
** Details
*** PDF export of agenda views
Agenda views can now be exported to PDF files by writing them to
a file with extension ".pdf". Internally this works by first
producing the postscript version and then converting that to PDF
using the ghostview utility =ps2pdf= . Make sure that this
utility is installed on your system.
The postscript version will not be removed, it will stay around.
*** Inline some entry text for Agenda View export
When exporting an agenda view to HTML or PDF for printing or
remote access, one of the problems can be that information stored
in entries below the headline is not accessible in that format.
You can now copy some of that information to the agenda view
2009-03-03 17:26:41 +00:00
before exporting it. For this you need to set the variable
2009-02-27 07:41:02 +00:00
=org-agenda-add-entry-text-maxlines= to a number greater than 0.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-agenda-add-entry-text-maxlines 20)
#+end_src
2009-03-03 17:26:41 +00:00
Or you can do this with the settings in a custom agenda view,
2009-02-27 07:41:02 +00:00
for example
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
("A" "" agenda ""
((org-agenda-ndays 1)
(org-agenda-add-entry-text-maxlines 5))
("agenda-today.pdf"))
#+end_src
2009-03-04 16:19:51 +00:00
*** Improved ASCII export of links
ASCII export of links works now much better. If a link has a
link and a description part which are different, then the
description will remain in the text while the link part will be
moved to the end of the current section, before the next heading,
as a footnote-like construct.
Configure the variable =org-export-ascii-links-to-notes= if you
prefer the links to be shown in the text. In this case, Org will
make an attempt to wrap the line which may have become
significantly longer by showing the link.
Thanks to Samuel Wales for pointing out the bad state of ASCII
link export.

*** Custom agenda commands can specify a filter preset
2009-03-03 17:26:41 +00:00
If a custom agenda command specifies a value for
2009-03-03 14:40:17 +00:00
=org-agenda-filter-preset= in its options, the initial view of
the agenda will be filterd by the specified tags. Applying a
filter with =/= will then always add to that preset filter,
clearing the filter with =/ /= will set it back to the preset.
2009-03-03 17:26:41 +00:00
Here is an example of a custom agenda view that will display the
agenda, but hide all entries with tags =FLUFF= or =BLUFF= :
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
("A" "" agenda ""
((org-agenda-filter-preset '("-FLUFF" "-BLUFF"))))
#+end_src
2009-03-03 14:40:17 +00:00
This is in response to a [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/11752 ][thread on the mailing list ]], started by
Daniel Clemente and with great contributions by Bernt Hansen and
Matt Lundin.

*** Exporting of citations to LaTeX and HTML, using BibTeX
Citations can now me made using BibTeX, and will be exported to
LaTeX and HTML. This is implemented in a contributed package by
Taru Karttunen, /org-exp-bibtex.el/ . Kudos to Taru for this
really nice addition.
2009-03-09 04:37:09 +00:00
*** Finally a way to specify keywords and description for HTML export
Use something like
#+begin_src org
#+DESCRIPTION : This page is all about ....
#+KEYWORDS : org-mode, indexing, publishing
#+end_src
To specify the content of the description and keywords meta tags
for HTML output.
2009-03-04 16:19:51 +00:00
*** org-collector.el is now a contributed package
2009-03-05 20:11:18 +00:00
/org-collector.el/ provides functions to create tables by
collecting and processing properties from entries in a specific
scope like the current tree or file, or even from all agenda
files. General lisp expressions can be used to manipulate the
property values before they are inserted into an org-mode table,
for example as a dynamic block that is easy to update.
2009-03-04 16:19:51 +00:00
Thanks to Eric Schulte for yet another great contribution to
Org.
2009-02-27 07:41:02 +00:00
*** Update of org2rem.el
/org2rem.el/ has been updated significantly and now does a more
comprehensive job of exporting Org events to remind.
Thanks to Sharad Pratap for this update.
2009-03-03 17:26:41 +00:00
*** New div around the entire page in HTMP export
2009-02-27 07:41:02 +00:00
2009-03-03 17:26:41 +00:00
A new =<div id=content >= is wrapped around the entire page,
everything that is inside =<body>= .
2009-02-27 07:41:02 +00:00
2009-03-03 17:26:41 +00:00
This means that you need to update /org-info.js/ (if you have a
local copy). It will be safe todo so, because the new
org-info.js still handles older pages correctly. Thanks to
2009-03-04 16:19:51 +00:00
Sebastian Rose for making these changes so quicky.
2009-02-27 07:41:02 +00:00
*** Clustering characters for undo
When typing in Org-mode, undo will now remove up to 20 characters
at a time with a single undo command. This is how things work
normally in Emacs, but the special binding of characters in
Org-mode made this impossible until now.
Thanks to Martin Pohlack for a patch which mimicks the behavior
2009-03-03 17:26:41 +00:00
of the Emacs command loop for the Org version of
=self-insert-command= . Note that this will not work in headlines
and tables because typing there will do a lot of extra work.
2009-02-27 07:41:02 +00:00
There might be a small typing performance hit resulting from this
change - please report in the mailing list if this is noticeable
and annoying.
*** Separate settings for special C-a and C-e
The variable `org-special-ctrl-a/e' now allows separate settings
for =C-a= and =C-e= . For example
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-special-ctrl-a/e '(reversed . t))
#+end_src
Thanks to Alan Davis for this proposal.
*** orgstruct++-mode improvements
In addition to =orgstruct-mode= which allows to use some Org-mode
2009-03-03 17:26:41 +00:00
structure commands in other major modes, there is a more invasive
version of this mode: =orgstruct++-mode= . This mode will import
all paragraph and line wrapping variables into the major mode, so
that, for example, during typing the auto-fill wrapping of items
will work just like in Org-mode. This change is not reversible,
so turning off =orgstruct++-mode= will not remove these settings
again. =orgstruct++-mode= is most useful in text modes like
message-mode or =magit-log-edit-mode= . Furthermore,
=orgstruct++-mode= will recognize plain list context not only in
the first line of an item, but also further down, so that =M-RET=
will correctly insert new items.
2009-02-27 07:41:02 +00:00
Thanks to Austin Frank for requesting some of these changes.
*** Promotion and demotion works for regions now
=M-right= and =M-left= now do demote and promote all headlines in
an active region.
2009-03-03 17:26:41 +00:00
*** Match syntax for tags/properties is now described in a single place
2009-03-03 09:20:23 +00:00
The manual chapters about tags and about properties now only
refer to the section about agenda views, where the general syntax
of tag/property matches is described.
2009-03-03 17:26:41 +00:00
*** Macro replacement
2009-03-03 09:23:22 +00:00
2009-03-03 17:26:41 +00:00
A string like ={{{ title }}}= will be replaced by the title of
the document, ={{{ email }}}= by the email setting of the author
and similarly for other export settings given in =#+...= lines.
In addition to that, you can define an arbitrary number of
macros, for example:
2009-03-03 09:23:22 +00:00
2009-03-03 17:26:41 +00:00
#+begin_src org
,#+MACRO: myaddress 41 Onestreet, 12345 New York, NY
...
,my address is {{{myaddress}}} , see you there.
#+end_src
Macro replacement is the very first thing that happens during
export, and macros will be replaced even in source code and other
protected regions.
*** New reload command, with keyboard access
There is now a special command to reload all Org Lisp files, so
that you can stay in your Emacs session while pulling and
compiling changes to Org. The command to reload the compiled
files (if available) is =C-c C-x r= . If no compiled files are
found, uncompiled ones will be loaded. If you want to force
loading of uncompiled code (great for producing backtraces), use
2009-03-04 16:19:51 +00:00
a prefix arg: =C-u C-c C-x r= . Both commands are available in
2009-03-03 17:26:41 +00:00
the menu as well.
This new command was inspired by one written earlier by Bernt
Hansen.
2009-03-03 14:40:17 +00:00
2009-03-03 11:44:53 +00:00
*** Faces for priority cookies can now be set freely
The new variable =org-priority-faces= can be used to set faces
for each priority.
2009-03-03 17:26:41 +00:00
*** New key for creating tags/property sparse trees
The key to produce a sparse tree matching tags and properties is
now =C-c / m= instead of =C-c a T= . This is more consistent with
the =C-c a m= key for the corresponding agenda view. =C-c / T=
will still work for now, but it is no longer advertised in the
documentation and may go away at any time in the future.
*** IDs in HTML have "ID-" prefix when generated by uuidgen
/uuidgen/ generates IDs that often start with a number, not a
letter. However, IDs and names in XHTML must start with a letter.
Therefore, IDs in HTML files will now get an "ID-" prefix if they
have been generated by /uuidgen/ . This means that id links from one
file to another may stop working until all files have been
exported again, so that both links and targets have the new prefix.
2009-03-03 11:44:53 +00:00
*** In agenda, only priority cookies get the special face
So far, an entire task would get a special face when
=org-agenda-fontify-priorities= was set. Now, the default value
for this variable is the symbol =cookies= , which means that on
the cookie is fontified. Set it to =t= if you want the entire
task headline to be fontified.
2009-03-03 17:26:41 +00:00
*** Turning off time-of-day search in headline
Some people like to put a creation time stamp into a headline and
then get confused if the time-of-day found in there shows up as
the time-of-day of the deadline/scheduling entry for this
headline. The reason for this is that Org searches the headline
for a free-format time when trying to sort the entry into the
agenda, and that search accidentally finds the time in the
creation time stamp or something else that happens to look like a
time. If this is more painful than useful for you, configure the
new variable =org-agenda-search-headline-for-time= .

2009-02-15 08:48:35 +00:00
** Incompatible changes
- CLOCK lines will now be captured into the LOGBOOK drawer.
See below for details.
** Details
*** Capture state change notes into a drawer
State change notes can now be captured into a drawer =LOGBOOK= ,
to keep the entry tidy. If this is what you want, you will need
this configuration:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-log-into-drawer "LOGBOOK")
#+end_src
Thanks to Wanrong Lin for this proposal.
*** Clock lines are now captured into the LOGBOOK drawer as well
The =CLOCK= drawer will be abandoned, clock lines will now also
2009-02-20 07:52:40 +00:00
end up in a drawer =LOGBOOK= . The reason for this is that it's a
bit useless to have two different drawers for state change notes
and clock lines. If you wish to keep the old way, use
2009-02-15 08:48:35 +00:00
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-clock-into-drawer "CLOCK")
#+end_src
*** Added org-R.el to contrib directory
Dan Davison has contributed /org-R.el/ which is now in the
2009-02-19 05:17:35 +00:00
contrib directory. Org-R performs numerical computations and
generates graphics. Data can come from org tables, or from csv
files; numerical output can be stored in the org buffer as org
tables, and links are created to files containing graphical
output. Although, behind the scenes, it uses R, you do not need
to know anything about R. Common operations, such as tabulating
discrete values in a column of an org table, are available "off
the shelf" by specifying options on lines starting with =#+R:= .
However, you can also provide raw R code to be evaluated. The
documentation is currently the worg tutorial at
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-R/org-R.php
2009-02-15 08:48:35 +00:00
Thanks to Dan for this great contribution.
2009-02-20 22:40:46 +00:00
*** Allow individual formatting of TODO keyword and tags in HTML export
2009-02-15 08:48:35 +00:00
2009-02-20 07:52:40 +00:00
TODO keywords in HTML export have the CSS class =todo= or =done= .
2009-02-20 22:40:46 +00:00
Tags have the CSS class =tag= . In addition to this, each keyword
has now itself as class, so you could do this in your CSS file:
2009-02-15 08:48:35 +00:00
#+begin_src css
.todo { font-weight:bold; }
.done { font-weight:bold; }
.TODO { color:red; }
.WAITING { color:orange; }
.DONE { color:green; }
#+end_src
2009-02-20 22:40:46 +00:00
If any of your keywords causes conflicts with CSS classes used
for different purposes (for example a tag "title" would cause a
conflict with the class used for formatting the document title),
then you can use the variables =org-export-html-tag-class-prefix=
and =org-export-html-todo-kwd-class-prefix= to define prefixes
for the class names for keywords, for example "kwd-".
2009-02-15 08:48:35 +00:00
Thanks to Wanrong Lin for this request, and to Sebastian Rose for
help with the implementation.
2009-02-20 07:52:40 +00:00
2009-02-15 08:48:35 +00:00
*** New hooks for add-ons to tap into context-sensitive commands
Some commands in Org are context-sensitive, they will execute
different functions depending on context. The most important
example is of course =C-c C-c= , but also the =M-cursor= keys fall
into this category.
Org has now a system of hooks that can be used by add-on packages
to install their own functionality into these keys. See the
docstring of =org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c-hook= for details. The other
hooks are named like =org-metaleft-hook= or
=org-shiftmetaright-hook= .
*** Publishing files irrespective of extension
If you set the =:base-extension= property for a publishing
project to the symbol =any= , all files in the directory will be
published, irrespective of extension.
Thanks to Richard Klinda for a patch to this effect.
*** New variable index in the manual
A new index in the manual lists all variables mentioned in the
2009-02-20 07:52:40 +00:00
manual, about 200 variables in total.
2009-02-15 08:48:35 +00:00
2009-02-19 08:13:08 +00:00
*** The ORDERED property also influences checkboxes
When an entry has the ORDERED property set, checkboxes in
the entry must be completed in order. This was already the case
for children TODO items, now it also applies for checkboxes.
Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this proposal.
*** The ORDERED property can be tracked with a tag
The =ORDERED= property is used to flag an entry so that subtasks
(both children TODO items and checkboxes) must be completed in
order. This property is most easily toggled with the command
=C-c C-x o= . A property was chosen for this functionality,
because this should be a behavior local to the current task, not
inherited like tags. However, properties are normally
invisible. If you would like visual feedback on the state of
this property, configure the variable
=org-track-ordered-property-with-tag= . If you then use =C-c C-x
o= to toggle the property, a tag will be toggled as well, for
visual feedback.
Note that the tag itself has no meaning for the behavior of TODO
items and checkboxes, and that changing the tag with the usual
tag commands will not influence the property and therefore the
behavior of TODO and checkbox commands.
2009-02-19 08:56:03 +00:00
*** You may now specify line breaks in the fast tags interface
Up to now, the fast tags interface tried to lump as many tags as
possible into a single line, with the exception that groups would
always be on a line by themselves.
Now, if you use several lines to define your tags, like
#+begin_src org
,#+TAGS: aa(a) bb(b) cc(c)
,#+TAGS: dd(d) ee(e) ff(f)
#+end_src
then there will also be a line break after the "cc" tag in the
fast tag selection interface. You may also write
#+begin_src org
,#+TAGS: aa(a) bb(b) cc(c) \n dd(d) ee(e) ff(f)
#+end_src
to achieve the same effect, and you can use =\n= several times in
order to produce empty lines. In =org-tag-alist= , newlines are
represented as =(:newline)= .
Thanks to Christopher Suckling for a patch to this effect.
2009-02-20 07:52:40 +00:00
*** When a TODO is blocked by checkboxes, keep it visible in agenda
When the variable =org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks= is set to
=invisible= , tasks that are blocked will not be visible in the
agenda. If the blocking is due to child TODO entries, this does
make sense because the children themselves will show up in the
TODO list.
However, as John Rakestraw has [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/10939 ][pointed out ]], if the blocking is
done by checkboxes, no trace of these subtasks is left.
Therefore, when the blocking is done by checkboxes, we now
overrule the =invisible= setting and replace it with mere dimming
of the task.
*** LaTeX can import Org's in-buffer definitions for TITLE, EMAIL etc.
If you configure =org-export-latex-import-inbuffer-stuff= ,
in-buffer definitions like #+TITLE will be made available in the
LaTeX file as =\orgTITLE= .
This was a request by Russel Adams.

Org-choose helps documenting a decision-making process by using
2009-02-10 06:51:48 +00:00
TODO keywords for different degrees of /chosenness/ , and by
2009-02-10 10:52:44 +00:00
automatically keeping a set of alternatives in a consistent state.

2009-02-09 11:44:55 +00:00
This package inserts itself into Org using hooks, so if other
people would like to do interesting stuff with TODO keywords for
2009-02-10 06:51:48 +00:00
special purposes, looking at Tom's code might be a good way to
start.
Thanks to Tom for this interesting contribution!

*** orgmode.org and Worg css works now better on IE

*** When exporting a subtree, headline levels are now relative to parent
2009-02-10 06:51:48 +00:00
This was reported as a bug by William Henney and is fixed now.
2009-02-09 11:44:55 +00:00
*** Inactive dates in tables can be used for sorting.
When sorting table fields or entries by date, Org first tries to
find an active date, and, if none exist, uses a passive date if
present.
This was a request by Hsui-Khuen Tang
2009-02-10 06:51:48 +00:00

2009-02-09 11:44:55 +00:00
2009-02-10 09:48:55 +00:00
Setting it to =t= violates Emacs rules to some extent. The
2009-02-09 11:44:55 +00:00
internal implementation of this has been improved, so setting it
2009-02-10 06:51:48 +00:00
to =t= should now be pretty stable.
2009-02-09 11:44:55 +00:00
*** Automatic scheduling of siblings with org-depend.el
The sibling of a DONE task can now automatically be scheduled.
This was a patch by Andrew Hyatt.
*** New skipping conditions
The functions =org-agenda-skip-entry-if= and

*** Support for simple TODO dependencies
John Wiegley's code for enforcing simple TODO dependencies has
been integrated into Org-mode. Thanks John!
The structure of Org files (hierarchy and lists) makes it easy to
define TODO dependencies. A parent TODO task should not be
marked DONE until all subtasks (defined as children tasks) are
marked as DONE. And sometimes there is a logical sequence to a
number of (sub)tasks, so that one task cannot be acted upon
before all siblings above it are done. If you customize the
variable =org-enforce-todo-dependencies= , Org will block entries
from changing state while they have children that are not DONE.
Furthermore, if an entry has a property =ORDERED= , each of its
children will be blocked until all earlier siblings are marked
DONE. Here is an example:
#+begin_src org
,* TODO Blocked until (two) is done
,** DONE one
,** TODO two
,* Parent
, :PROPERTIES:
, :ORDERED: t
, :END:
,** TODO a
,** TODO b, needs to wait for (a)
,** TODO c, needs to wait for (a) and (b)
#+end_src
2009-01-28 08:30:12 +00:00
2009-01-29 08:42:16 +00:00
The command =C-c C-x o= toggles the value of the =ORDERED=
property.
2009-01-27 16:56:27 +00:00
The variable =org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks= controls how blocked
entries should appear in the agenda, where they can be dimmed or
even made invisible.
2009-01-30 16:31:44 +00:00
Furthermore, you can use the variable
=org-enforce-todo-checkbox-dependencies= to block TODO entries
from switching to DONE while any checkboxes are unchecked in the entry.
2009-01-28 08:30:12 +00:00
*** Support for shift-selection in Emacs 23
Customize the variable =org-support-shift-select= to use S-cursor
key for selecting text. Make sure that you carefully read the
docstring of that variable first.
2009-01-06 05:30:38 +00:00
2009-01-28 11:28:21 +00:00
*** Adding and removing checkboxes from many lines
The command =C-c C-x C-b= normally toggles checkbox status in the
current line, or in all lines in the region. With prefix
argument it now either adds or removes the checkbox.
This was a requested by Daniel Clemente.

** Overview
- Improved behavior of conversion commands =C-c -= and =C-c *=
- Table formulas may now reference fields in other tables
- A final hline is imagined in each table, for the sake of references
- A tags-todo search can now ignore timestamped items
- =\par= can be used to force a paragraph break, also in footnotes
Structure editing: Improved item/headline conversion
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.

*** Table formulas may now reference fields in other tables
2009-01-25 12:41:09 +00:00
You may now reference constants, fields and ranges from a
different table, either in the current file or even in a
different file. The syntax is
2009-01-24 09:51:21 +00:00
: remote(NAME-OR-ID,REF)
where /NAME/ can be the name of a table in the current file as
set by a =#+TBLNAME: NAME= line before the table. It can also be
the ID of an entry, even in a different file, and the reference
then refers to the first table in that entry. /REF/ is an
2009-01-25 12:41:09 +00:00
absolute field or range reference, valid in the referenced table.
Note that since there is no "current filed" for the remote table,
all row and column references must be absolute, not relative.
*** A final hline is imagined in each table, for the sake of references
Even if a table does not end with a hline (mine never do because I
think it is not pretty), for the sake of references you can
assume there is one. So in the following table
#+begin_src org
| a | b |
|---+---|
| 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 4 |
#+end_src
a reference like =@I$1..@II$2= will now work.
2009-01-24 09:51:21 +00:00
2009-01-25 06:39:26 +00:00
*** A tags-todo search can now ignore timestamped items
The variables =org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date= ,
=org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date= , and
=org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date= make it possible to
exclude TODO entries which have this kind of planning info
associated with them. This is most useful for people who
schedule everything, and who use the TODO list mainly to find
things that are not yet scheduled. Thomas Morgan pointed out
that also the tags-todo search may serve exactly this
purpose, and that it might be good to have a way to make
these variables also apply to the tags-todo search. I can
2009-01-25 12:41:09 +00:00
see that, but could not convince myself to make this the
2009-01-25 06:39:26 +00:00
default. A new variable must be set to make this happen:
=org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options= .
2009-01-25 12:41:09 +00:00
*** =\par= can be used to force a paragraph break, also in footnotes
The LaTeX idiom =\par= will insert a paragraph break at that
location. Normally you would simply leave an empty line to get
2009-01-26 08:42:33 +00:00
such a break, but this is useful for footnotes whose
definitions may not contain empty lines.

Export: Better detection of images that can be inlined.
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.
2009-01-18 08:11:24 +00:00
*** Better handling of inlined images in different backends
Two new variables govern which kind of files can be inlined
during export. These are
=org-export-html-inline-image-extensions= and
=org-export-latex-inline-image-extensions= . Remember that
links are turned into an inline image if they are a pure link
with no description. HTML files can inline /.png/ , /.jpg/ ,
and /.gif/ files, while LaTeX files, when processed with
/pdflatex/ , can inline /.png/ , /.jpg/ , and /.pdf/ files.
These also represent the default settings for the new
variables. Note that this means that pure links to /.pdf/
files will be inlined - to avoid this for a particular link,
make sure that the link has a description part which is not
equal to the link part.
2009-01-20 08:07:35 +00:00
*** Links by ID now continue to work in HTML exported files
If you make links by ID, these links will now still work in
HTML exported files, provided that you keep the relative path
from link to target file the same.
Thanks to Friedrich Delgado Friedrichs for pushing this over
the line.
2009-01-06 05:30:38 +00:00
*** The relative timer can be paused
The new command `C-c C-x ,' will pause the relative timer.
When the relative timer is running, its value will be shown
in the mode line. To get rid of this display, you need to
really stop the timer with `C-u C-c C-x ,'.
Thanks to Alan Davis for driving this change.

Instead of using the automatic, unique directory related to
the entry ID, you can also use a chosen directory for the
attachments of an entry. This directory is specified by the
ATTACH_DIR property. You can use `C-c C-a s' to set this
property.
2009-01-09 08:10:13 +00:00

By setting the property ATTACH_DIR_INHERIT, you can now tell
Org that children of the entry should use the same directory
for attachments, unless a child explicitly defines its own
directory with the ATTACH_DIR property. You can use the
command `C-c C-a i' to set this property in an entry.

*** Footnote support
2008-12-30 22:59:22 +00:00
2009-01-04 08:00:34 +00:00
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:
2008-12-30 22:59:22 +00:00
#+begin_src org
2009-01-04 08:00:34 +00:00
The Org homepage[fn: 1 ] now looks a lot better than it used to.
...
[fn:1] The link is: http://orgmode.org
2008-12-30 22:59:22 +00:00
#+end_src
2009-01-02 14:53:02 +00:00
Org-mode extends the number-based syntax to /named/ footnotes and
2009-01-04 08:00:34 +00:00
optional inline definition. Using plain numbers as markers is
2009-01-02 14:53:02 +00:00
supported for backward compatibility, but not encouraged because
of possible conflicts with LaTeX syntax. Here are the valid
references:
2008-12-30 22:59:22 +00:00
2009-01-02 14:53:02 +00:00
- [1] :: A plain numeric footnote marker.
2008-12-30 22:59:22 +00:00
- [fn:name] :: A named footnote reference, where `name' is a
2009-01-02 14:53:02 +00:00
unique label word or, for simplicity of automatic creation,
a number.
2008-12-30 22:59:22 +00:00
2009-01-02 15:28:35 +00:00
- [fn:: This is the inline definition of this footnote] :: A
LaTeX-like anonymous footnote where the definition is given
2008-12-30 22:59:22 +00:00
directly at the reference point.
2009-01-02 15:28:35 +00:00
- [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.
2008-12-30 22:59:22 +00:00
2009-01-02 14:53:02 +00:00
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.
2008-12-30 22:59:22 +00:00
The following command handles footnotes:
2009-01-02 15:28:35 +00:00
- 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,
2009-01-02 14:53:02 +00:00
create a new footnote. Depending on the variable
`org-footnote-define-inline' (with associated =#+STARTUP=
options =fninline= and =nofninline= ), the definitions will
2009-01-04 08:00:34 +00:00
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:
2008-12-30 22:59:22 +00:00
- s :: Sort the footnote definitions by reference sequence.
2009-01-04 08:00:34 +00:00
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= .
2008-12-30 22:59:22 +00:00
- 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.
2009-01-04 08:00:34 +00:00
2009-01-02 15:28:35 +00:00
- 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.
2008-12-30 22:59:22 +00:00
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= .
2008-12-31 08:25:07 +00:00
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!
2009-01-04 08:00:34 +00:00
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.
2008-12-26 16:51:14 +00:00
*** 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
2008-12-26 16:51:14 +00:00
similar documents.
Code references use special labels embedded directly into the
2009-01-05 12:23:42 +00:00
source code. Such labels look like "(ref:name)" and must be
unique within a document. Org-mode links with "(name)" in the
2008-12-26 16:51:14 +00:00
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.
2009-01-05 12:23:42 +00:00
- -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.

*** 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
2008-12-22 07:13:20 +00:00
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.

Captions and attributes for images and tables during export
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

** Incompatible changes
Better implementation of unique 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 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).
2008-12-05 22:35:26 +00:00
*** Old syntax for link attributes abandoned
2008-12-16 07:30:09 +00:00
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
2008-12-10 12:49:19 +00:00
#+begin_example
[[./img/a.jpg{{alt="an image"}}] ]
#+end_example
This syntax is not longer supported, use instead
2008-12-16 07:30:09 +00:00
#+begin_src org
,#+ATTR_HTML: alt="an image"
2008-12-10 12:49:19 +00:00

*** 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 images and tables during export

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] ]~ .

added as attributes into the ~<img...>~ tag. This string
will not be processed, so it should have immediately the

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.

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).
2008-12-05 22:35:26 +00:00
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.
2008-12-16 07:30:09 +00:00
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.
Better implementation of unique 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 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 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

Captions and attributes for images and tables during export
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.

Implement timer for timed notes.
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.

*** 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'.

*** The agenda shows now all tags, including inherited ones.
This request has come up often, most recently it was

2008-11-27 12:15:29 +00:00
*** 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.
New ways to specify time comparison values 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.

Better handling of export options.
This patch improves the internal handling of the large number of
export options that Org-mode has. In particular, it now defines a
single constant, `org-export-plist-vars' that contains the full list
of options, and how these can be accessed through variables, and
through the #+OPTIONS line. Before the patch, there used to be a
separate list or the OPTIONS handling, which has gotten out of sync.
This now no longer can happen.
Also, this patch adds two new variables, `org-export-with-priority',
and `org-export-with-todo-keywords', which can be used to turn the
export of TODO keywords and priority cookies on and off, so that these
can simply disappear and not be shown in the exported file. In fact,
the default for the priority cookie is to remove it.
2008-12-03 06:33:05 +00:00
*** 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: |
2008-12-06 06:34:30 +00:00
*** 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

export if you configure =org-use-property-inheritance= like
this:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-use-property-inheritance '("LOCATION"))

*** Keybindings in Remember buffers can be configured
2008-11-19 16:33:49 +00:00
The remember buffers created with Org's extensions are in
Org-mode, which is nice to prepare snippets that will
2008-11-20 14:02:53 +00:00
actually be stored in Org-mode files. However, this makes it
2008-11-19 10:20:04 +00:00
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 ()
2008-11-19 16:33:49 +00:00
(define-key org-remember-mode-map
"\C-x\C-s" 'org-remember-finalize)))
2008-11-19 10:20:04 +00:00
#+end_src
2008-11-19 16:33:49 +00:00
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.

2008-11-19 10:20:04 +00:00
many of Org's internal completion commands by turning on the
2008-11-23 07:27:31 +00:00
variable =org-completion-use-ido= . =ido-mode= must also be
2008-11-19 10:20:04 +00:00

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

Better implementation of unique 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 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).

*** 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
2008-11-19 16:33:49 +00:00
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
2008-11-24 17:27:14 +00:00
planner. The following customization is needed to make all of

*** 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.

Yank adjusted trees.
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'.

*** 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
2008-11-07 20:17:40 +00:00
default). Absolute file paths were not abbreviated relative
2008-11-05 22:29:09 +00:00
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
2008-11-07 20:17:40 +00:00
(setq org-link-abbrev-alist '(("att" . org-attach-expand-link)))

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.

*** Enhancements to secondary agenda filtering
2008-10-23 06:35:47 +00:00
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!
2008-10-20 21:01:23 +00:00
**** 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
2008-10-23 06:35:47 +00:00
additional criterion. You can also press =+= or =-= after
2008-10-20 21:01:23 +00:00
=/= 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
2008-10-23 06:35:47 +00:00
the operator which you want to use to compare effort
2008-10-20 21:01:23 +00:00
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
2008-10-23 06:35:47 +00:00
for HOME tags, against EMAIL tags, and for tasks with an
2008-10-20 21:01:23 +00:00
estimated effort smaller than 30 minutes, the mode-line with
show =+HOME-EMAIL+<0:30=
2008-10-21 05:53:01 +00:00
**** The filter now persists when the agenda view is refreshed
2008-10-23 06:35:47 +00:00
All normal refresh commands, including those that move the
weekly agenda from one week to the next, now keep the
current filter in place.
2008-10-21 05:53:01 +00:00
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.

2008-10-16 12:38:30 +00:00
*** 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
2008-10-16 12:51:09 +00:00
command. The reasons for this change are:
2008-10-16 12:38:30 +00:00
- Using =C-c C-c= for tags is really out of line with other
2008-10-16 12:51:09 +00:00
uses of =C-c C-c= .
2008-10-16 12:38:30 +00:00
- I hate it in Remember buffers when I try to set tags and I
cannot, because =C-c C-c= exits the buffer :-(
2008-10-16 12:51:09 +00:00
- =C-c C-q= will also work when the cursor is somewhere down
2008-10-16 12:38:30 +00:00
in the entry, it does not have to be on the headline.
2008-10-23 06:35:47 +00:00
*** Todo state changes can trigger tag changes
2008-10-16 12:51:09 +00:00
2008-10-16 07:54:30 +00:00
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))))
2008-10-16 12:51:09 +00:00
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.
2008-10-16 07:54:30 +00:00
2008-10-23 06:35:47 +00:00
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
DEADLINE/SCHEDULED/CLOSED information).

*** =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).
2008-10-09 11:18:25 +00:00

*** 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= .
2008-10-08 10:46:51 +00:00
- The file list is now always retrieved from the directory
itself, not from the "Attachments" property. We still
2008-10-09 11:18:25 +00:00
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
2008-10-01 09:41:00 +00:00
an "Org" prefix, but I now think this is not necessary.
2008-10-01 07:25:18 +00:00
- 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.
2008-10-05 10:57:01 +00:00
- 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.
2008-10-01 07:25:18 +00:00
- You can now set the `org-id-method' to `uuidgen' on systems
2008-10-05 10:57:01 +00:00
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= .
2008-10-01 07:25:18 +00:00
*** 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.

*** 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.
2008-09-18 11:52:35 +00:00
This operation only /hides/ lines in the agenda buffer, it
2008-09-18 15:57:10 +00:00
does not remove them. Changing the secondary filtering does
not require a new search and is very fast.
2008-09-17 11:47:18 +00:00
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.
2008-09-18 15:57:10 +00:00
This new feature arose from a discussion involving Scott
Otterson, Sebastian Rose and Will Henney.

*** 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
2008-09-18 15:57:10 +00:00
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
2008-09-16 14:52:21 +00:00
heading hierarchy above it will also be selected for export,
but not the text below those headings. If none of the select
2008-09-18 15:57:10 +00:00
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.
2008-09-16 14:52:21 +00:00
2008-09-17 15:57:18 +00:00
You may set these tags with in-buffer options
2008-09-16 14:52:21 +00:00
=EXPORT_SELECT_TAGS= and =EXPORT_EXCLUDE_TAGS= .
2008-09-19 10:40:15 +00:00

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?

*** Column view capture tables can have formulas, plotting info
2008-09-08 07:43:41 +00:00
If you attach formulas and plotting instructions to a table
capturing column view, these extra lines will now survive an
2008-09-16 14:52:21 +00:00
update of the column view capture, and any formulas will be
2008-09-18 15:57:10 +00:00
re-applied to the captured table. This works by keeping any
2008-09-16 14:52:21 +00:00

*** 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.
