Re: Possible bug in mobile export


The following fix is in org master, but not in 7.8.  I am able to use
org-mobile-push.

How do teachers use org-mode

Dear Org-mode users:

I am using  org-mode this semester  to host my course notes.   For me
org-mode was a god-send, since I had been struggling to organize
course notes in plain html  before that.

The course pages done in org-mode are at

 -  http://pascal.iiit.ac.in/~itws2

 - http://pascal.iiit.ac.in/~tipl

In the Information Technology  workshop course I am teaching this
semester,  we have introduced emacs and org-mode as part of the
course's curriculum to 1st year (freshman) students.   As part of the
course, they  are required to do  their lab reports in Org-mode.
Emacs continues to be  a difficult climb for many students, but
org-mode is an important motivator.  I expect that most of the 180
students in class will become comfortable with emacs by the end of the
semester.

I am interested to  hear from others who have used org-mode as part of
their teaching activities.

Sincerely,

Venkatesh Choppella

taskjuggler (tj3) export issues and proposals

Leading my first project and decided to dig into taskjuggler again. It
just seems so natural to have everything in org if possible, so I took
another look at the exporter, manual, and worg tutorial. [1][2]

As is, as far as I can tell, the exporter does not work out of the box
with tj3. I /think/ I could get it to work if I added in a massive
report definition (which now seems mandatory for tj3) under
=org-export-taskjuggler-default-reports=, but that just feels clumsy.
For one, not every project will have the same report. Secondly, it
seems odd to tweak report definitions through my .emacs file? I didn't
see a way to specify it in the orgmode file itself. Any non-headline
text appears to be stripped during export.

Based on my fiddling tonight, here are some suggestions/inquiries:

1) Could there be something equivalent to #+latex/#+begin_latex that
would let me export some literal taskjuggler syntax into a file?
Perhaps throw everything between a #+begin/end_taskjuggler just before
the closing "}" for the task?

2) Could a different naming convention be used? It seems the currently
it's either what is defined by the property :task_id: or defaults to
the first word of the headline. If the default were more likely to be
unique, it would spare having to define a ton of =task_id= properties;
instead one could define dependencies based on headline names because
the syntax for naming was known and not likely to clash with another
headline's ID.
--- First word of the parent headline + "_" + first word of actual headline?
--- Bump it to the first two words of each headline?

Re: Org without X on Debian

I use org in a non-graphical environment but so far haven't tried any of 
those key combinations mentioned.  It's possible those need their own 
keystrokes to be configured for non-graphical use.  I prefer using 
non-graphical environments since me being totally blind those environments 
offer no benefits and with the use of orca, can be very unstable from time 
to time.On Tue, 31 Jan 2012, Rainer M Krug wrote:

Re: New tutorial on using Emacs lisp for Org spreadsheet formulas

If multiple #+TBLFM: lines do ever get into legal org-mode syntax I 
think it will be a good idea to put an integer number inside the 
#+TBLFM: label so that org-mode can know in what order to use each of 
those lines.

Re: Org without X on Debian

keymap I suspect is the controling factor here.  Maybe org-mode in the 
future could either load its own keys from the .emacs file or hae loadkeys 
run and run its own keymap file.On Tue, 31 Jan 2012, Karl wrote:

Well, you write the arguments before starting the source block, getting
everything wardbacks (and I don't think that's easier to parse, but you
would know better(*)).  Then there is the verbosity of the headers
themselves, but that's an argument based on aesthetics.  Last but not
least I can never remember if any of the "#+" stuff is supposed to end
with a ":" and whether it wants another ":" in front of the arguments or
not.

(*) Reminds me I'll have to try what happens if I write header arguments
that are detached from the source block.  Devious, I know, but the
manual does not really specify anything.

If you look carefully, that source block above does not contain a
drawer.  It has a (hypothetical) associated multiline header argument
that happens to look and feel like a drawer.

Indeed I did not know that, thanks for mentioning.  But I'm just as
concerned about the look of that line when browsing the document and the
pretty-printing for edit doesn't help with that.
