225 Org-mode is a mode for keeping notes, maintaining ToDo lists, and doing | |
226 project planning with a fast and effective plain-text system. | |
227 | |
228 Org-mode develops organizational tasks around NOTES files that contain | |
229 information about projects as plain text. Org-mode is implemented on | |
230 top of outline-mode, which makes it possible to keep the content of | |
231 large files well structured. Visibility cycling and structure editing | |
232 help to work with the tree. Tables are easily created with a built-in | |
233 table editor. Org-mode supports ToDo items, deadlines, time stamps, | |

364 Org-mode is implemented on top of outline-mode. Outlines allow to | |
365 organize a document in a hierarchical structure, which (at least for | |
366 me) is the best representation of notes and thoughts. Overview over | |
367 this structure is achieved by folding (hiding) large parts of the | |
368 document to show only the general document structure and the parts | |
369 currently being worked on. Org-mode greatly simplifies the use of | |
370 outlines by compressing the entire show/hide functionality into a | |
371 single command @command{org-cycle}, which is bound to the @key{TAB} | |
372 key. | |

566 to move the tree to an archive place, either in the same file under a | |

576 The default archive is a file in the same directory as the current | |
577 file, with the name derived by appending @file{_archive} to the | |
578 current file name. For information and examples on how to change | |
579 this, see the documentation string of the variable | |
580 @code{org-archive-location}. If you are also using the Org-mode | |
581 agenda, archiving to a different file is a good way to keep archived | |
582 trees from contributing agenda items. | |

744 Org-mode makes it easy to format tables in plain ASCII. Any line with | |
745 @samp{|} as the first non-white character is considered part of a | |
746 table. @samp{|} is also the column separator. A table might look | |
747 like this: | |
748 | |
749 @example | |
750 | Name | Phone | Age | | |
751 |-------+-------+-----| | |
752 | Peter | 1234 | 17 | | |
753 | Anna | 4321 | 25 | | |
754 @end example | |
755 | |
756 A table is re-aligned automatically each time you press @key{TAB} or | |
63833 | 757 @key{RET} or @kbd{C-c C-c} inside the table. @key{TAB} also moves to |
758 the next field (@key{RET} to the next row) and creates new table rows | |
759 at the end of the table or before horizontal lines. The indentation | |
760 of the table is set by the first line. Any line starting with | |
761 @samp{|-} is considered as a horizontal separator line and will be | |
762 expanded on the next re-align to span the whole table width. So, to | |
763 create the above table, you would only type | |
58792 | 764 |
765 @example | |
766 |Name|Phone|Age | |

771 fields. | |
772 | |
65656 | 773 When typing text into a field, Org-mode treats @key{DEL}, |
774 @key{Backspace}, and all character keys in a special way, so that | |
775 inserting and deleting avoids shifting other fields. Also, when | |
776 typing @emph{immediately after the cursor was moved into a new field | |
777 with @kbd{@key{TAB}}, @kbd{S-@key{TAB}} or @kbd{@key{RET}}}, the | |
778 field is automatically made blank. If this behavior is too | |

1026 @cindex @file{calc} package |
63833 | 1027 |
65656 | 1028 The table editor makes use of the Emacs @file{calc} package to |
1029 implement spreadsheet-like capabilities. Org-mode has two levels of | |
1030 complexity for table calculations. On the basic level, tables do only | |
1031 horizontal computations, so a field can be computed from other fields | |
1032 @emph{in the same row}, and Org-mode assumes that there is only one | |
1033 formula for each column. This is very efficient to work with and | |
1034 enough for many tasks. On the complex level, columns and individual | |
1035 fields can be named for easier referencing in formulas, individual | |
1036 named fields can have their own formula associated with them, and | |
1037 recalculation can be automated. | |

1121 @cindex formula, for table column |
63833 | 1122 |
1123 To apply a formula to a field, type it directly into the field, | |
1124 preceded by an equal sign, like @samp{=$1+$2}. When you press | |
1125 @key{TAB} or @key{RET} or @kbd{C-c C-c} with the cursor still in the | |
64517 | 1126 field, the formula will be stored as the formula for the current |
1127 column, evaluated and the current field replaced with the result. If | |
1128 the field contains only @samp{=}, the previously stored formula for | |
1129 this column is used. | |
63833 | 1130 |
1131 For each column, Org-mode will remember the most recently used | |
64517 | 1132 formula. The information is stored in a special line starting with |
1133 @samp{#+TBLFM} directly below the table. When adding/deleting/moving | |
1134 columns with the appropriate commands, the stored equations will be | |
1135 modified accordingly. When a column used in a calculation is removed, | |
1136 references to this column become invalid and will cause an error upon | |
1137 applying the equation. | |
63833 | 1138 |
1139 Instead of typing an equation into the field, you may also use the | |
1140 command @kbd{C-c =}. It prompts for a formula (with default taken | |
64517 | 1141 from the @samp{#+TBLFM:} line) and applies it to the current field. A |
1142 numerical prefix (e.g. @kbd{C-5 C-c =}) will apply it to that many | |
1143 subsequent fields in the current column. | |

1145 @cindex recomputing table fields |
63833 | 1146 To recompute all the fields in a line, use the command @kbd{C-c *}. |
1147 It re-applies all stored equations to the current row, from left to | |
1148 right. With a @kbd{C-u} prefix, this will be done to every line in | |
1149 the table, so use this command it you want to make sure the entire | |
64517 | 1150 table is up-to-date. @kbd{C-u C-c C-c} is another way to update the |
1151 entire table. Global updating does not touch the line(s) above the | |
1152 first horizontal separator line, assuming that this is the table | |
1153 header. | |

1670 Another way to create org entries with links to other files is through | |

1673 @uref{http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/RememberMode} for more | |
1674 information. The notes produced by @emph{Remember} can be stored in | |
64517 | 1675 different ways, and Org-mode files are a good target. Org-mode allows |
1676 to file away notes either to a default file, or directly to the | |

2035 dates in the agenda (@pxref{Weekly/Daily Agenda}). We distinguish: |
58792 | 2036 |
2037 @table @var | |
2038 @cindex timestamp | |
2039 @item TIMESTAMP | |
2040 A simple time stamp just assigns a date/time to an item. In the | |
2041 timeline and agenda displays, the headline of the entry will be shown | |
2042 exactly on that date. | |
2043 | |
2044 @item TIMERANGE | |
2045 @cindex timerange | |
2046 Two time stamps connected by @samp{--} denote a time range. The | |
2047 headline will be shown on the first and last day of the range, and on | |
2048 any dates that are displayed and fall in the range. Here is an | |
2049 example: | |
2050 | |
2051 @example | |
2052 ** Meeting in Amsterdam | |
2053 <2004-08-23 Mon>--<2004-08-26 Thu> | |
2054 @end example | |
2055 | |
2056 @item DEADLINE | |
63833 | 2057 @cindex DEADLINE keyword |
58792 | 2058 If a time stamp is preceded by the word @samp{DEADLINE:}, the task |
2059 (most likely a TODO item) is supposed to be finished on that date, and | |
63833 | 2060 it will be listed then. In addition, the compilation for @emph{today} |
2061 will carry a warning about the approaching or missed deadline, | |
2062 starting @code{org-deadline-warning-days} before the due date, and | |
2063 continuing until the entry is marked DONE. An example: | |
58792 | 2064 |
2065 @example | |
2066 *** TODO write article about the Earth for the Guide | |
63833 | 2067 The editor in charge is <bbdb:Ford Prefect> |
58792 | 2068 DEADLINE: <2004-02-29 Sun> |
2069 @end example | |
2070 | |
2071 @item SCHEDULED | |
65244 | 2072 @cindex SCHEDULED keyword |
58792 | 2073 If a time stamp is preceded by the word @samp{SCHEDULED:}, it means |
2074 you are planning to start working on that task on the given date. The | |
2075 headline will be listed under the given date. In addition, a reminder | |
2076 that the scheduled date has passed will be present in the compilation | |
64069 | 2077 for @emph{today}, until the entry is marked DONE. I.e., the |
58792 | 2078 task will automatically be forwarded. |

2086 For Org-mode to recognize time stamps, they need to be in the specific | |
2087 format. All commands listed below produce time stamps in the correct | |
2088 format. | |
2089 | |
2090 @table @kbd | |
2091 @kindex C-c . | |
2092 @item C-c . | |
2093 Prompt for a date and insert a corresponding time stamp. When the | |
2094 cursor is at a previously used time stamp, it is updated to NOW. When | |
2095 this command is used twice in succession, a time range is inserted. | |
2096 | |
2097 @kindex C-u C-c . | |
2098 @item C-u C-c . | |

64069 | 2489 Org-mode checks each agenda item for a time-of-day specification. The |
63833 | 2490 time can be part of the time stamp that triggered inclusion into the |
2491 agenda, for example as in @w{@samp{<2005-05-10 Tue 19:00>}}. Time | |
2492 ranges can be specified with two time stamps, like | |
62548 | 2493 @c |
2494 @w{@samp{<2005-05-10 Tue 20:30>--<2005-05-10 Tue 22:15>}}. | |
2495 | |
2496 In the headline of the entry itself, a time(range) may also appear as | |
2497 plain text (like @samp{12:45} or a @samp{8:30-1pm}. If the agenda | |
2498 integrates the Emacs diary (@pxref{Calendar/Diary integration}), time | |
2499 specifications in diary entries are recognized as well. | |
2500 | |
2501 For agenda display, Org-mode extracts the time and displays it in a | |
2502 standard 24 hour format as part of the prefix. The example times in | |
2503 the previous paragraphs would end up in the agenda like this: | |
2504 | |
2505 @example | |
2506 8:30-13:00 Arthur Dent lies in front of the bulldozer | |
2507 12:45...... Ford Prefect arrives and takes Arthur to the pub | |

2512 If the agenda is in single-day mode, or for the display of today, the | |
2513 timed entries are embedded in a time grid, like | |
2514 | |
2515 @example | |
2516 8:00...... ------------------ | |
2517 8:30-13:00 Arthur Dent lies in front of the bulldozer | |

2520 12:45...... Ford Prefect arrives and takes Arthur to the pub | |
2521 14:00...... ------------------ | |
2522 16:00...... ------------------ | |
2523 18:00...... ------------------ | |
2524 19:00...... The Vogon reads his poem | |
2525 20:00...... ------------------ | |
2526 20:30-22:15 Marwin escorts the Hitchhikers to the bridge | |
2527 @end example | |
2528 | |
2529 The time grid can be turned on and off with the variable | |
2530 @code{org-agenda-use-time-grid}, and can be configured with | |
2531 @code{org-agenda-time-grid}. | |

3022 headline will be typeset as fixed-width, to allow quoting of computer | |
3023 codes etc. Lines starting with @samp{:} are also typeset in | |

3606 Org-mode uses the calc package for implementing spreadsheet | |
3607 functionality in its tables (@pxref{Table calculations}). Org-modes | |
3608 checks for the availability of calc by looking for the function | |
3609 @code{calc-eval} which should be autoloaded in your setup if calc has | |
3610 been installed properly. As of Emacs 22, calc is part of the Emacs | |
3611 distribution. Another possibility for interaction between the two | |
3612 packages is using calc for embedded calculations. @xref{Embedded Mode, | |

3619 the @file{constants} package which defines a large number of constants | |
3620 and units, and lets you use unit prefixes like @samp{M} for | |
3621 @samp{Mega} etc. You will need version 2.0 of this package, available | |
3622 at @url{http://www.astro.uva.nl/~dominik/Tools}. Org-mode checks for | |
