This patch add a new customization variable `org-tag-faces' that can
be used to specify such faces. The rest of the patch implements these
new faces in Org-mode buffers as well as in the agenda.
It seems that CSS and Java-script stuff should be quoted in a very
strange way in order to make sure that the resulting file functions
correct in current browsers *and* validates against various XHTML and
XML standards. To be honest, the quoting technique seem really
strange, but Sebastian Rose argues, that this is the way to handle
this issue.
Gnus uses w3m to wash HTML messages and installs w3m-minor-mode-map in
these buffers. Therefore, this patch makes sure that the special copy
command that converts HTML links to Org-mode links also gets installed
into the minor mode map.
This is as yet untested.
Calling `org-archive-to-archive-sibling' caused problems when used
several times in a row. The new killed subtree would be appended to
the current head of the kill-ring, instead of being pushed there. The
reason for this is that the command `kill-region', which is called by
`org-cut-subtree' changes the variable `this-command', so that during
the next archive command, `kill-region' will think that the previous
command was also a kill and do the append.
Normally this is wanted, to make sure that several kill commands
create one big yank string. But in this case it has to be avoided.
The patch fixes the problem by let-binding (and therefore protecting)
the value of `this-command' around the call to `org-cut-subtree'.

Harri Kiiskinen suggested that it might be useful to make the LOCATION
property an inherited property during iCalendar export. In this way
you can have set the LOCATION for a whole set of items by setting it
only in the parent.
While this will slow down iCalendar export for large files, I think it
can be quite useful. This patch does implement the basic code needed
for this functionality. However, you still need to tell Org that
LOCATION should be inherited, by setting org-use-property-inheritance.
If you set it to t, beware that this may trigger a significant
slowdown when creating the match view in the agenda. So it may be
better to set this variable to
(setq org-use-property-inheritance '("LOCATION"))
instead.
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.
There were bugs in the mapping API, pointed to by Samuel Wales:
Manual says:
The following example counts the number of entries with TODO keyword
WAITING, in all agenda files.
(length (org-map-entries t "/+WAITING" nil 'agenda))
Org says invalid function for the string.
First of all, the example in the manual was wrong, the "nil" should be
gone. Second, the mapping function did not return all results in a
list, so that `length' could not count them.
This patch fixes these issues.
In addition to "<now>", "<today>", "<yesterday>", and
"<tomorrow>", there are more special values accepted now in
time comparisons in property searches: You may use strings
like =<+3d>= or =<-2w>=, with units d, w, m, and y for day,
week, month, and year, respectively
Thanks to Linday Todd for this proposal.
So far, the only way to select tags for inheritance was to
allow it for all tags, or to do a positive selection using
one of the more complex settings for
`org-use-tag-inheritance'. It may actually be better to
allow inheritance for all but a few tags, which was difficult
to achieve with this methodology.
This patch introduces a new option,
`org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance' which allows to specify an
exclusion list for inherited tags.
This patch does a lot of things. First, it makes sure that the tags
transferred to the agenda as text properties on each line are do carry
information about there origin (in the form of an `inherited' text
property). Then it modifies the function creating agenda lines so
that inherited tags will be listed and identified as such in the
agenda.
This new feature can be turned off with a new variable,
`org-agenda-show-inherited-tags'.
This file implements a special function to copy text from a w3m buffer
in a way that when the text is yanked back into an Org-mode buffer,
the links will be translated to Org syntax.
This key needs special treatment, because it needs to work *outside*
tables. The patch introduces a special command to call the
creation/conversion function if there is no conflicting binding to
`C-c |' outside of orgtbl-mode.
S-SPC did lead to an error in orgtbl-mode, because there is no binding
to this key. Now orgtbl-self-insert-command falls back on calling
self-insert-command for such cases.
This cleans up the implementation of the timer. Most important change
is that, after starting a time list with `C-c C-x -', you can then
simply use M-RET to add new items, which is addictive!
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.
When starting the publishing process with
`org-publish-current-project' from a file that is located in a project
that is also a component of a parent project, this patch now makes
sure that the entire parent project is published instead.
The creation of an automatic site map in org-publish with the
:auto-index and :index-filename parameter does exclude the index
file name from being added to the index. There was a bug which would
exclude this file name also in all subdirectories in a project. This
patch switches the comparison from looking at file names only to
looking at the complete path.
RET did fail in orgtbl-mode, if the cursor was at the beginning of the
buffer. Now it opens a new line whenever the cursor is at the
beginning of a line, and that includes the beginning of the buffer.....
Org-mode still has a few operations that do not work well when the
first line of a buffer is a headline. One was constructing the clock
table, but this one is eliminated by this patch.
When the export skips the text before the first headline, we now
include the comment line before the first headline, if any.
This makes sure that we can specify an anchor for this headline.
