587 the Org related setup in @file{.emacs}. If an error occurs, a |

601 If working with Org produces an error with a message you don't |
84308 | 602 understand, you may have hit a bug. The best way to report this is by |
603 providing, in addition to what was mentioned above, a @emph{Backtrace}. | |
604 This is information from the built-in debugger about where and how the | |
605 error occurred. Here is how to produce a useful backtrace: | |
606 | |
607 @enumerate | |
608 @item | |
609 Start a fresh Emacs or XEmacs, and make sure that it will load the | |
610 original Lisp code in @file{org.el} instead of the compiled version in | |
611 @file{org.elc}. The backtrace contains much more information if it is | |
612 produced with uncompiled code. To do this, either rename @file{org.elc} | |
613 to something else before starting Emacs, or ask Emacs explicitly to load | |
614 @file{org.el} by using the command line | |
615 @example | |
616 emacs -l /path/to/org.el | |
617 @end example | |
618 @item | |
619 Go to the @code{Options} menu and select @code{Enter Debugger on Error} | |
620 (XEmacs has this option in the @code{Troubleshooting} sub-menu). | |
621 @item | |
622 Do whatever you have to do to hit the error. Don't forget to | |
623 document the steps you take. | |
624 @item | |
625 When you hit the error, a @file{*Backtrace*} buffer will appear on the | |
626 screen. Save this buffer to a file (for example using @kbd{C-x C-w}) and | |
627 attach it to your bug report. | |
628 @end enumerate | |

677 Org is implemented on top of Outline mode. Outlines allow a |
84308 | 678 document to be organized in a hierarchical structure, which (at least |
679 for me) is the best representation of notes and thoughts. An overview | |
680 of this structure is achieved by folding (hiding) large parts of the | |
681 document to show only the general document structure and the parts | |

682 currently being worked on. Org greatly simplifies the use of |
84308 | 683 outlines by compressing the entire show/hide functionality into a single |

692 Org start with one or more stars, on the left margin@footnote{See |
84308 | 693 the variable @code{org-special-ctrl-a/e} to configure special behavior |
694 of @kbd{C-a} and @kbd{C-e} in headlines.}. For example: | |
695 | |
696 @example | |
697 * Top level headline | |
698 ** Second level | |
699 *** 3rd level | |
700 some text | |
701 *** 3rd level | |
702 more text | |
703 | |
704 * Another top level headline | |
705 @end example | |
706 | |
707 @noindent Some people find the many stars too noisy and would prefer an | |
708 outline that has whitespace followed by a single star as headline | |
709 starters. @ref{Clean view} describes a setup to realize this. | |
710 | |
711 An empty line after the end of a subtree is considered part of it and | |
712 will be hidden when the subtree is folded. However, if you leave at | |
713 least two empty lines, one empty line will remain visible after folding | |
714 the subtree, in order to structure the collapsed view. See the | |
715 variable @code{org-cycle-separator-lines} to modify this behavior. | |

744 The cursor must be on a headline for this to work@footnote{see, however, | |
745 the option @code{org-cycle-emulate-tab}.}. When the cursor is at the | |
746 beginning of the buffer and the first line is not a headline, then | |
747 @key{TAB} actually runs global cycling (see below)@footnote{see the | |
748 option @code{org-cycle-global-at-bob}.}. Also when called with a prefix | |
749 argument (@kbd{C-u @key{TAB}}), global cycling is invoked. | |

1375 Org makes it easy to format tables in plain ASCII. Any line with |
84308 | 1376 @samp{|} as the first non-whitespace character is considered part of a |
1377 table. @samp{|} is also the column separator. A table might look like | |
1378 this: | |
1379 | |
1380 @example | |
1381 | Name | Phone | Age | | |
1382 |-------+-------+-----| | |
1383 | Peter | 1234 | 17 | | |
1384 | Anna | 4321 | 25 | | |
1385 @end example | |
1386 | |
1387 A table is re-aligned automatically each time you press @key{TAB} or | |
1388 @key{RET} or @kbd{C-c C-c} inside the table. @key{TAB} also moves to | |
1389 the next field (@key{RET} to the next row) and creates new table rows | |
1390 at the end of the table or before horizontal lines. The indentation | |
1391 of the table is set by the first line. Any line starting with | |
1392 @samp{|-} is considered as a horizontal separator line and will be | |
1393 expanded on the next re-align to span the whole table width. So, to | |
1394 create the above table, you would only type | |
1395 | |
1396 @example | |
1397 |Name|Phone|Age| | |
1398 |- | |
1399 @end example | |
1400 | |
1401 @noindent and then press @key{TAB} to align the table and start filling in | |
1402 fields. | |

1404 When typing text into a field, Org treats @key{DEL}, |
84308 | 1405 @key{Backspace}, and all character keys in a special way, so that |
1406 inserting and deleting avoids shifting other fields. Also, when | |
1407 typing @emph{immediately after the cursor was moved into a new field | |
1408 with @kbd{@key{TAB}}, @kbd{S-@key{TAB}} or @kbd{@key{RET}}}, the | |
1409 field is automatically made blank. If this behavior is too | |

1580 detailed description. |
84308 | 1581 @end table |
1582 | |
1583 If you don't like the automatic table editor because it gets in your | |
1584 way on lines which you would like to start with @samp{|}, you can turn | |
1585 it off with | |
1586 | |
1587 @lisp | |
1588 (setq org-enable-table-editor nil) | |
1589 @end lisp | |
1590 | |
1591 @noindent Then the only table command that still works is | |
1592 @kbd{C-c C-c} to do a manual re-align. | |
1593 | |
1594 @node Narrow columns, Column groups, Built-in table editor, Tables | |
1595 @section Narrow columns | |
1596 @cindex narrow columns in tables | |
1597 | |
1598 The width of columns is automatically determined by the table editor. | |
1599 Sometimes a single field or a few fields need to carry more text, | |
1600 leading to inconveniently wide columns. To limit@footnote{This feature | |
1601 does not work on XEmacs.} the width of a column, one field anywhere in | |
1602 the column may contain just the string @samp{<N>} where @samp{N} is an | |
1603 integer specifying the width of the column in characters. The next | |
1604 re-align will then set the width of this column to no more than this | |
1605 value. | |
1606 | |
1607 @example | |
1608 @group | |
1609 |---+------------------------------| |---+--------| | |
1610 | | | | | <6> | | |
1611 | 1 | one | | 1 | one | | |
1612 | 2 | two | ----\ | 2 | two | | |
1613 | 3 | This is a long chunk of text | ----/ | 3 | This=> | | |
1614 | 4 | four | | 4 | four | | |
1615 |---+------------------------------| |---+--------| | |
1616 @end group | |
1617 @end example | |
1618 | |
1619 @noindent | |
1620 Fields that are wider become clipped and end in the string @samp{=>}. | |
1621 Note that the full text is still in the buffer, it is only invisible. | |
1622 To see the full text, hold the mouse over the field - a tool-tip window | |
1623 will show the full content. To edit such a field, use the command | |
1624 @kbd{C-c `} (that is @kbd{C-c} followed by the backquote). This will | |
1625 open a new window with the full field. Edit it and finish with @kbd{C-c | |
1626 C-c}. | |
1627 | |
1628 When visiting a file containing a table with narrowed columns, the | |
1629 necessary character hiding has not yet happened, and the table needs to | |
1630 be aligned before it looks nice. Setting the option | |
1631 @code{org-startup-align-all-tables} will realign all tables in a file | |
1632 upon visiting, but also slow down startup. You can also set this option | |
1633 on a per-file basis with: | |
1634 | |
1635 @example | |
1636 #+STARTUP: align | |
1637 #+STARTUP: noalign | |
1638 @end example | |

1644 When Org exports tables, it does so by default without vertical |
84308 | 1645 lines because that is visually more satisfying in general. Occasionally |
1646 however, vertical lines can be useful to structure a table into groups | |
1647 of columns, much like horizontal lines can do for groups of rows. In | |
1648 order to specify column groups, you can use a special row where the | |
1649 first field contains only @samp{/}. The further fields can either | |
1650 contain @samp{<} to indicate that this column should start a group, | |
1651 @samp{>} to indicate the end of a column, or @samp{<>} to make a column | |

1773 Org's references with @emph{signed} numbers are floating |
84308 | 1774 references because the same reference operator can reference different |
1775 fields depending on the field being calculated by the formula. | |

1793 You may reference a rectangular range of fields by specifying two field | |
1794 references connected by two dots @samp{..}. If both fields are in the | |
1795 current row, you may simply use @samp{$2..$7}, but if at least one field | |
1796 is in a different row, you need to use the general @code{@@row$column} | |
1797 format at least for the first field (i.e the reference must start with | |
1798 @samp{@@} in order to be interpreted correctly). Examples: | |
1799 | |

84308 | 1870 format, however, has been changed to @code{(float 5)} to keep tables |
1871 compact. The default settings can be configured using the variable | |
1872 @code{org-calc-default-modes}. | |

1900 @end example | |
1901 | |
1902 Calc also contains a complete set of logical operations. For example | |
1903 | |

1912 It is also possible to write a formula in Emacs Lisp; this can be useful | |
1913 for string manipulation and control structures, if the Calc's | |
1914 functionality is not enough. If a formula starts with a single quote | |
1915 followed by an opening parenthesis, then it is evaluated as a lisp form. | |
1916 The evaluation should return either a string or a number. Just as with | |

84308 | 1919 field references are interpolated into the form. By default, a |
1920 reference will be interpolated as a Lisp string (in double quotes) | |
1921 containing the field. If you provide the @samp{N} mode switch, all | |
1922 referenced elements will be numbers (non-number fields will be zero) and | |
1923 interpolated as Lisp numbers, without quotes. If you provide the | |
1924 @samp{L} flag, all fields will be interpolated literally, without quotes. | |

1926 form, enclose the reference operator itself in double quotes, like |
84308 | 1927 @code{"$3"}. Ranges are inserted as space-separated fields, so you can |
1928 embed them in list or vector syntax. A few examples, note how the | |
1929 @samp{N} mode is used when we do computations in lisp. | |
1930 | |

1932 @r{Swap the first two characters of the content of column 1} | |
1933 '(concat (substring $1 1 2) (substring $1 0 1) (substring $1 2)) | |

1945 To assign a formula to a particular field, type it directly into the | |
1946 field, preceded by @samp{:=}, for example @samp{:=$1+$2}. When you | |
1947 press @key{TAB} or @key{RET} or @kbd{C-c C-c} with the cursor still in | |
1948 the field, the formula will be stored as the formula for this field, | |
1949 evaluated, and the current field replaced with the result. | |
1950 | |
1951 Formulas are stored in a special line starting with @samp{#+TBLFM:} | |
1952 directly below the table. If you typed the equation in the 4th field of | |
1953 the 3rd data line in the table, the formula will look like | |
1954 @samp{@@3$4=$1+$2}. When inserting/deleting/swapping column and rows | |
1955 with the appropriate commands, @i{absolute references} (but not relative | |
1956 ones) in stored formulas are modified in order to still reference the | |
1957 same field. Of cause this is not true if you edit the table structure | |
1958 with normal editing commands - then you must fix the equations yourself. | |
1959 | |
1960 Instead of typing an equation into the field, you may also use the | |

2122 @cindex updating, table | |
2123 | |
2124 Recalculation of a table is normally not automatic, but needs to be | |
2125 triggered by a command. See @ref{Advanced features} for a way to make | |
2126 recalculation at least semi-automatically. | |
2127 | |
2128 In order to recalculate a line of a table or the entire table, use the | |
2129 following commands: | |
2130 | |
2131 @table @kbd | |
2132 @kindex C-c * | |
2133 @item C-c * | |
2134 Recalculate the current row by first applying the stored column formulas | |
2135 from left to right, and all field formulas in the current row. | |
2136 @c | |
2137 @kindex C-u C-c * | |
2138 @item C-u C-c * | |
2139 @kindex C-u C-c C-c | |
2140 @itemx C-u C-c C-c | |
2141 Recompute the entire table, line by line. Any lines before the first | |
2142 hline are left alone, assuming that these are part of the table header. | |
2143 @c | |
2144 @kindex C-u C-u C-c * | |
2145 @kindex C-u C-u C-c C-c | |
2146 @item C-u C-u C-c * | |
2147 @itemx C-u C-u C-c C-c | |
2148 Iterate the table by recomputing it until no further changes occur. | |
2149 This may be necessary if some computed fields use the value of other | |
2150 fields that are computed @i{later} in the calculation sequence. | |
2151 @end table | |
2152 | |
2153 @node Advanced features, , Updating the table, The spreadsheet | |
2154 @subsection Advanced features | |
2155 | |
2156 If you want the recalculation of fields to happen automatically, or if | |
2157 you want to be able to assign @i{names} to fields and columns, you need | |
2158 to reserve the first column of the table for special marking characters. | |
2159 @table @kbd | |
2160 @kindex C-# | |
2161 @item C-# | |
2162 Rotate the calculation mark in first column through the states @samp{}, | |
2163 @samp{#}, @samp{*}, @samp{!}, @samp{$}. The meaning of these characters | |
2164 is discussed below. When there is an active region, change all marks in | |
2165 the region. | |
2166 @end table | |
2167 | |
2168 Here is an example of a table that collects exam results of students and | |
2169 makes use of these features: | |
2170 | |
2171 @example | |
2172 @group | |

2188 #+TBLFM: $6=vsum($P1..$P3)::$7=10*$Tot/$max;%.1f::$at=vmean(@@-II..@@-I);%.1f | |
2189 @end group | |
2190 @end example | |
2191 | |
2192 @noindent @b{Important}: Please note that for these special tables, | |
2193 recalculating the table with @kbd{C-u C-c *} will only affect rows that | |
2194 are marked @samp{#} or @samp{*}, and fields that have a formula assigned | |
2195 to the field itself. The column formulas are not applied in rows with | |
2196 empty first field. | |
2197 | |
2198 @cindex marking characters, tables | |
2199 The marking characters have the following meaning: | |
2200 @table @samp | |
2201 @item ! | |
2202 The fields in this line define names for the columns, so that you may | |
2203 refer to a column as @samp{$Tot} instead of @samp{$6}. | |
2204 @item ^ | |
2205 This row defines names for the fields @emph{above} the row. With such | |
2206 a definition, any formula in the table may use @samp{$m1} to refer to | |
2207 the value @samp{10}. Also, if you assign a formula to a names field, it | |
2208 will be stored as @samp{$name=...}. | |
2209 @item _ | |
2210 Similar to @samp{^}, but defines names for the fields in the row | |
2211 @emph{below}. | |
2212 @item $ | |
2213 Fields in this row can define @emph{parameters} for formulas. For | |
2214 example, if a field in a @samp{$} row contains @samp{max=50}, then | |
2215 formulas in this table can refer to the value 50 using @samp{$max}. | |
2216 Parameters work exactly like constants, only that they can be defined on | |
2217 a per-table basis. | |
2218 @item # | |
2219 Fields in this row are automatically recalculated when pressing | |
2220 @key{TAB} or @key{RET} or @kbd{S-@key{TAB}} in this row. Also, this row | |
2221 is selected for a global recalculation with @kbd{C-u C-c *}. Unmarked | |
2222 lines will be left alone by this command. | |
2223 @item * | |
2224 Selects this line for global recalculation with @kbd{C-u C-c *}, but | |
2225 not for automatic recalculation. Use this when automatic | |
2226 recalculation slows down editing too much. | |
2227 @item | |
2228 Unmarked lines are exempt from recalculation with @kbd{C-u C-c *}. | |
2229 All lines that should be recalculated should be marked with @samp{#} | |
2230 or @samp{*}. | |
2231 @item / | |
2232 Do not export this line. Useful for lines that contain the narrowing | |
2233 @samp{<N>} markers. | |
2234 @end table | |

2287 Once a link in the buffer is complete (all brackets present), Org |
84308 | 2288 will change the display so that @samp{description} is displayed instead |
2289 of @samp{[[link][description]]} and @samp{link} is displayed instead of | |
2290 @samp{[[link]]}. Links will be highlighted in the face @code{org-link}, | |
2291 which by default is an underlined face. You can directly edit the | |
2292 visible part of a link. Note that this can be either the @samp{link} | |
2293 part (if there is no description) or the @samp{description} part. To | |
2294 edit also the invisible @samp{link} part, use @kbd{C-c C-l} with the | |
2295 cursor on the link. | |
2296 | |
2297 If you place the cursor at the beginning or just behind the end of the | |
2298 displayed text and press @key{BACKSPACE}, you will remove the | |
2299 (invisible) bracket at that location. This makes the link incomplete | |
2300 and the internals are again displayed as plain text. Inserting the | |
2301 missing bracket hides the link internals again. To show the | |
2302 internal structure of all links, use the menu entry | |
2303 @code{Org->Hyperlinks->Literal links}. | |

2311 If the link does not look like a URL, it is considered to be internal in | |
2312 the current file. Links such as @samp{[[My Target]]} or @samp{[[My | |
2313 Target][Find my target]]} lead to a text search in the current file. | |
2314 The link can be followed with @kbd{C-c C-o} when the cursor is on the | |
2315 link, or with a mouse click (@pxref{Handling links}). The preferred | |
2316 match for such a link is a dedicated target: the same string in double | |
2317 angular brackets. Targets may be located anywhere; sometimes it is | |
2318 convenient to put them into a comment line. For example | |
2319 | |
2320 @example | |
2321 # <<My Target>> | |
2322 @end example | |
2323 | |
2324 @noindent In HTML export (@pxref{HTML export}), such targets will become | |
2325 named anchors for direct access through @samp{http} links@footnote{Note | |
2326 that text before the first headline is usually not exported, so the | |
2327 first such target should be after the first headline.}. | |

2329 If no dedicated target exists, Org will search for the words in the |
84308 | 2330 link. In the above example the search would be for @samp{my target}. |

2332 headlines. When searching, Org mode will first try an exact match, but |
84308 | 2333 then move on to more and more lenient searches. For example, the link |
2334 @samp{[[*My Targets]]} will find any of the following: | |
2335 | |
2336 @example | |
2337 ** My targets | |
2338 ** TODO my targets are bright | |
2339 ** my 20 targets are | |
2340 @end example | |
2341 | |
2342 To insert a link targeting a headline, in-buffer completion can be used. | |
2343 Just type a star followed by a few optional letters into the buffer and | |
2344 press @kbd{M-@key{TAB}}. All headlines in the current buffer will be | |
2345 offered as completions. @xref{Handling links}, for more commands | |

2606 [[linkword:tag][description]] | |
2607 @end example | |
2608 | |
2609 @noindent | |
2610 where the tag is optional. Such abbreviations are resolved according to | |
2611 the information in the variable @code{org-link-abbrev-alist} that | |
2612 relates the linkwords to replacement text. Here is an example: | |
2613 | |
2614 @lisp | |
2615 @group | |
2616 (setq org-link-abbrev-alist | |
2617 '(("bugzilla" . "http://10.1.2.9/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=") | |
2618 ("google" . "http://www.google.com/search?q=") | |
2619 ("ads" . "http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/ | |
2620 nph-abs_connect?author=%s&db_key=AST"))) | |
2621 @end group | |
2622 @end lisp | |
2623 | |
2624 If the replacement text contains the string @samp{%s}, it will be | |
2625 replaced with the tag. Otherwise the tag will be appended to the string | |
2626 in order to create the link. You may also specify a function that will | |
2627 be called with the tag as the only argument to create the link. | |
2628 | |
2629 With the above setting, you could link to a specific bug with | |
2630 @code{[[bugzilla:129]]}, search the web for @samp{OrgMode} with | |

2634 If you need special abbreviations just for a single Org buffer, you |
84308 | 2635 can define them in the file with |
2636 | |
2637 @example | |
2638 #+LINK: bugzilla http://10.1.2.9/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id= | |
2639 #+LINK: google http://www.google.com/search?q=%s | |
2640 @end example | |
2641 | |
2642 @noindent | |
2643 In-buffer completion @pxref{Completion} can be used after @samp{[} to | |
2644 complete link abbreviations. | |

2652 particular location in the file when following a link. This can be a | |
2653 line number or a search option after a double@footnote{For backward | |
2654 compatibility, line numbers can also follow a single colon.} colon. For | |
2655 example, when the command @kbd{C-c l} creates a link (@pxref{Handling | |

2657 string that can be used to find this line back later when following the | |

84308 | 2659 |
2660 Here is the syntax of the different ways to attach a search to a file | |
2661 link, together with an explanation: | |
2662 | |
2663 @example | |
2664 [[file:~/code/main.c::255]] | |
2665 [[file:~/xx.org::My Target]] | |
2666 [[file:~/xx.org::*My Target]] | |

2670 @table @code | |
2671 @item 255 | |
2672 Jump to line 255. | |
2673 @item My Target | |
2674 Search for a link target @samp{<<My Target>>}, or do a text search for | |
2675 @samp{my target}, similar to the search in internal links, see | |
2676 @ref{Internal links}. In HTML export (@pxref{HTML export}), such a file | |
2677 link will become an HTML reference to the corresponding named anchor in | |
2678 the linked file. | |

2690 As a degenerate case, a file link with an empty file name can be used | |
2691 to search the current file. For example, @code{[[file:::find me]]} does | |
2692 a search for @samp{find me} in the current file, just as | |

2700 The default mechanism for creating search strings and for doing the | |
2701 actual search related to a file link may not work correctly in all | |
2702 cases. For example, BibTeX database files have many entries like | |
2703 @samp{year="1993"} which would not result in good search strings, | |
2704 because the only unique identification for a BibTeX entry is the | |
2705 citation key. | |
2706 | |
2707 If you come across such a problem, you can write custom functions to set | |
2708 the right search string for a particular file type, and to do the search | |
2709 for the string in the file. Using @code{add-hook}, these functions need | |
2710 to be added to the hook variables | |
2711 @code{org-create-file-search-functions} and | |

2865 | |
2866 The second possibility is to use TODO keywords to indicate different | |
2867 @emph{types} of action items. For example, you might want to indicate | |
2868 that items are for ``work'' or ``home''. Or, when you work with several | |
2869 people on a single project, you might want to assign action items | |
2870 directly to persons, by using their names as TODO keywords. This would | |
2871 be set up like this: | |

2894 @cindex TODO keyword sets |
84308 | 2895 |
2896 Sometimes you may want to use different sets of TODO keywords in | |
2897 parallel. For example, you may want to have the basic | |
2898 @code{TODO}/@code{DONE}, but also a workflow for bug fixing, and a | |
2899 separate state indicating that an item has been canceled (so it is not | |
2900 DONE, but also does not require action). Your setup would then look | |
2901 like this: | |
2902 | |
2903 @lisp | |
2904 (setq org-todo-keywords | |
2905 '((sequence "TODO" "|" "DONE") | |
2906 (sequence "REPORT" "BUG" "KNOWNCAUSE" "|" "FIXED") | |
2907 (sequence "|" "CANCELED"))) | |

2910 The keywords should all be different, this helps Org mode to keep track |
84308 | 2911 of which subsequence should be used for a given entry. In this setup, |
2912 @kbd{C-c C-t} only operates within a subsequence, so it switches from | |
2913 @code{DONE} to (nothing) to @code{TODO}, and from @code{FIXED} to | |
2914 (nothing) to @code{REPORT}. Therefore you need a mechanism to initially | |
2915 select the correct sequence. Besides the obvious ways like typing a | |
2916 keyword or using completion, you may also apply the following commands: | |
2917 | |
2918 @table @kbd | |
2919 @kindex C-S-@key{right} | |
2920 @kindex C-S-@key{left} | |
2921 @item C-S-@key{right} | |
2922 @itemx C-S-@key{left} | |
2923 These keys jump from one TODO subset to the next. In the above example, | |
2924 @kbd{C-S-@key{right}} would jump from @code{TODO} or @code{DONE} to | |
2925 @code{REPORT}, and any of the words in the second row to @code{CANCELED}. | |
2926 @kindex S-@key{right} | |
2927 @kindex S-@key{left} | |
2928 @item S-@key{right} | |
2929 @itemx S-@key{left} | |
2930 @kbd{S-@key{<left>}} and @kbd{S-@key{<right>}} and walk through | |
2931 @emph{all} keywords from all sets, so for example @kbd{S-@key{<right>}} | |
2932 would switch from @code{DONE} to @code{REPORT} in the example above. | |

2963 @cindex per-file keywords |
84308 | 2964 |
2965 It can be very useful to use different aspects of the TODO mechanism in | |
2966 different files. For file-local settings, you need to add special lines | |
2967 to the file which set the keywords and interpretation for that file | |
2968 only. For example, to set one of the two examples discussed above, you | |
2969 need one of the following lines, starting in column zero anywhere in the | |
2970 file: | |
2971 | |
2972 @example | |
2973 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO FEEDBACK VERIFY | DONE CANCELED | |
2974 @end example | |
2975 or | |
2976 @example | |
2977 #+TYP_TODO: Fred Sara Lucy Mike | DONE | |
2978 @end example | |
2979 | |
2980 A setup for using several sets in parallel would be: | |
2981 | |
2982 @example | |
2983 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO | DONE | |
2984 #+SEQ_TODO: REPORT BUG KNOWNCAUSE | FIXED | |
2985 #+SEQ_TODO: | CANCELED | |
2986 @end example | |
2987 | |
2988 @cindex completion, of option keywords | |
2989 @kindex M-@key{TAB} | |
2990 @noindent To make sure you are using the correct keyword, type | |
2991 @samp{#+} into the buffer and then use @kbd{M-@key{TAB}} completion. | |
2992 | |
2993 @cindex DONE, final TODO keyword | |
2994 Remember that the keywords after the vertical bar (or the last keyword | |
2995 if no bar is there) must always mean that the item is DONE (although you | |
2996 may use a different word). After changing one of these lines, use | |
2997 @kbd{C-c C-c} with the cursor still in the line to make the changes | |

3565 If you are using multi-state TODO keywords (@pxref{TODO extensions}), it | |
3566 can be useful to also match on the TODO keyword. This can be done by | |
3567 adding a condition after a slash to a tags match. The syntax is similar | |
3568 to the tag matches, but should be applied with consideration: For | |
3569 example, a positive selection on several TODO keywords can not | |
3570 meaningfully be combined with boolean AND. However, @emph{negative | |
3571 selection} combined with AND can be meaningful. To make sure that only | |
3572 lines are checked that actually have any TODO keyword, use @kbd{C-c a | |

3643 @cindex drawer, for properties | |
3644 | |
3645 Properties are key-value pairs. They need to be inserted into a special | |
3646 drawer (@pxref{Drawers}) with the name @code{PROPERTIES}. Each property | |
3647 is specified on a single line, with the key (surrounded by colons) | |
3648 first, and the value after it. Here is an example: | |
3649 | |
3650 @example | |

3664 by setting a property @samp{:Xyz_ALL:}. This special property is |
84308 | 3665 @emph{inherited}, so if you set it in a level 1 entry, it will apply to |
3666 the entire tree. When allowed values are defined, setting the | |
3667 corresponding property becomes easier and is less prone to typing | |
3668 errors. For the example with the CD collection, we can predefine | |
3669 publishers and the number of disks in a box like this: | |
3670 | |
3671 @example | |
3672 * CD collection | |
3673 :PROPERTIES: | |

3675 :Publisher_ALL: "Deutsche Grammophon" Phillips EMI | |
3676 :END: | |
3677 @end example | |
3678 | |
3679 If you want to set properties that can be inherited by any entry in a | |
3680 file, use a line like | |
3681 | |
3682 @example | |
3683 #+PROPERTY: NDisks_ALL 1 2 3 4 | |
3684 @end example | |

3687 @code{org-global-properties} can be inherited by all entries in all | |

3851 A great way to view and edit properties in an outline tree is | |
3852 @emph{column view}. In column view, each outline item is turned into a | |
3853 table row. Columns in this table provide access to properties of the | |

3854 entries. Org mode implements columns by overlaying a tabular structure |
84308 | 3855 over the headline of each item. While the headlines have been turned |
3856 into a table row, you can still change the visibility of the outline | |
3857 tree. For example, you get a compact table by switching to CONTENTS | |
3858 view (@kbd{S-@key{TAB} S-@key{TAB}}, or simply @kbd{c} while column view | |
3859 is active), but you can still open, read, and edit the entry below each | |
3860 headline. Or, you can switch to column view after executing a sparse | |
3861 tree command and in this way get a table only for the selected items. | |

3903 If a @code{:COLUMNS:} property is present in an entry, it defines columns |
84308 | 3904 for the entry itself, and for the entire subtree below it. Since the |
3905 column definition is part of the hierarchical structure of the document, | |
3906 you can define columns on level 1 that are general enough for all | |
3907 sublevels, and more specific columns further down, when you edit a | |
3908 deeper part of the tree. | |

3924 width @r{An integer specifying the width of the column in characters.} | |

4169 interval of N days (d), weeks (w), months(m), or years(y). The | |

4177 For more complex date specifications, Org mode supports using the |
84308 | 4178 special sexp diary entries implemented in the Emacs calendar/diary |
4179 package. For example | |

4190 will be shown on the first and last day of the range, and on any dates | |
4191 that are displayed and fall in the range. Here is an example: | |
4192 | |
4193 @example | |
4194 ** Meeting in Amsterdam | |

4201 Just like a plain time stamp, but with square brackets instead of | |
4202 angular ones. These time stamps are inactive in the sense that they do | |
4203 @emph{not} trigger an entry to show up in the agenda. | |

4216 For Org mode to recognize time stamps, they need to be in the specific |
84308 | 4217 format. All commands listed below produce time stamps in the correct |
4218 format. | |
4219 | |
4220 @table @kbd | |
4221 @kindex C-c . | |
4222 @item C-c . | |
4223 Prompt for a date and insert a corresponding time stamp. When the | |
4224 cursor is at a previously used time stamp, it is updated to NOW. When | |
4225 this command is used twice in succession, a time range is inserted. | |
4226 @c | |
4227 @kindex C-u C-c . | |
4228 @item C-u C-c . | |
4229 Like @kbd{C-c .}, but use the alternative format which contains date | |
4230 and time. The default time can be rounded to multiples of 5 minutes, | |
4231 see the option @code{org-time-stamp-rounding-minutes}. | |
4232 @c | |
4233 @kindex C-c ! | |
4234 @item C-c ! | |
4235 Like @kbd{C-c .}, but insert an inactive time stamp that will not cause | |
4236 an agenda entry. | |
4237 @c | |
4238 @kindex C-c < | |

5356 agenda files (@pxref{Agenda Views}) into a single buffer. The buffer is in |
84308 | 5357 @code{agenda-mode}, so there are commands to examine and manipulate |
5358 the TODO entries directly from that buffer (@pxref{Agenda commands}). | |
5359 @kindex C-c a T | |
5360 @item C-c a T | |
5361 @cindex TODO keyword matching | |
5362 Like the above, but allows selection of a specific TODO keyword. You | |
5363 can also do this by specifying a prefix argument to @kbd{C-c a t}. With | |
5364 a @kbd{C-u} prefix you are prompted for a keyword, and you may also | |
5365 specify several keywords by separating them with @samp{|} as boolean OR | |
5366 operator. With a numeric prefix, the Nth keyword in | |
5367 @code{org-todo-keywords} is selected. | |
5368 @kindex r | |
5369 The @kbd{r} key in the agenda buffer regenerates it, and you can give | |
5370 a prefix argument to this command to change the selected TODO keyword, | |
5371 for example @kbd{3 r}. If you often need a search for a specific | |
5372 keyword, define a custom command for it (@pxref{Agenda dispatcher}).@* | |
5373 Matching specific TODO keywords can also be done as part of a tags | |

5583 For agenda display, Org mode extracts the time and displays it in a |
84308 | 5584 standard 24 hour format as part of the prefix. The example times in |
5585 the previous paragraphs would end up in the agenda like this: | |
5586 | |
5587 @example | |
5588 8:30-13:00 Arthur Dent lies in front of the bulldozer | |
5589 12:45...... Ford Prefect arrives and takes Arthur to the pub | |
5590 19:00...... The Vogon reads his poem | |

5592 @end example | |
5593 | |
5594 @cindex time grid | |
5595 If the agenda is in single-day mode, or for the display of today, the | |
5596 timed entries are embedded in a time grid, like | |
5597 | |
5598 @example | |
5599 8:00...... ------------------ | |
5600 8:30-13:00 Arthur Dent lies in front of the bulldozer | |

5611 | |
5612 The time grid can be turned on and off with the variable | |

5624 For the daily/weekly agenda, the items for each day are sorted. The | |
5625 default order is to first collect all items containing an explicit | |
5626 time-of-day specification. These entries will be shown at the beginning | |
5627 of the list, as a @emph{schedule} for the day. After that, items remain | |
5628 grouped in categories, in the sequence given by @code{org-agenda-files}. | |
5629 Within each category, items are sorted by priority (@pxref{Priorities}), | |
5630 which is composed of the base priority (2000 for priority @samp{A}, 1000 | |
5631 for @samp{B}, and 0 for @samp{C}), plus additional increments for | |
5632 overdue scheduled or deadline items. | |

5652 Entries in the agenda buffer are linked back to the org file or diary | |
5653 file where they originate. You are not allowed to edit the agenda | |
5654 buffer itself, but commands are provided to show and jump to the | |
5655 original entry location, and to edit the org-files ``remotely'' from | |
5656 the agenda buffer. In this way, all information is stored only once, | |
5657 removing the risk that your agenda and note files may diverge. | |
5658 | |

6199 As you see, the values and parenthesis setting is a little complex. | |
6200 When in doubt, use the customize interface to set this variable - it | |
6201 fully supports its structure. Just one caveat: When setting options in | |
6202 this interface, the @emph{values} are just lisp expressions. So if the | |

6288 @end table | |
6289 | |
6290 You can use the options section of the custom agenda commands to also | |
6291 set options for the export commands. For example: | |
6292 | |
6293 @lisp | |
6294 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands | |
6295 '(("X" agenda "" | |
6296 ((ps-number-of-columns 2) | |

6298 (org-agenda-prefix-format " [ ] ") | |
6299 (org-agenda-with-colors nil) | |

6301 ("theagenda.ps")))) | |
6302 @end lisp | |
6303 | |
6304 @noindent | |
6305 This command sets two options for the postscript exporter, to make it | |
6306 print in two columns in landscape format - the resulting page can be cut | |
6307 in two and then used in a paper agenda. The remaining settings modify | |
6308 the agenda prefix to omit category and scheduling information, and | |
6309 instead include a checkbox to check off items. We also remove the tags | |
6310 to make the lines compact, and we don't want to use colors for the | |
6311 black-and-white printer. Settings specified in | |
6312 @code{org-agenda-exporter-settings} will also apply, but the settings | |
6313 in @code{org-agenda-custom-commands} take precedence. | |
6314 | |
6315 @noindent | |
6316 From the command line you may also use | |
6317 @example | |

6340 Org provides commands to access agenda information for the command |
84308 | 6341 line in emacs batch mode. This extracted information can be sent |
6342 directly to a printer, or it can be read by a program that does further | |
6343 processing of the data. The first of these commands is the function | |
6344 @code{org-batch-agenda}, that produces an agenda view and sends it as | |
6345 ASCII text to STDOUT. The command takes a single string as parameter. | |
6346 If the string has length 1, it is used as a key to one of the commands | |
6347 you have configured in @code{org-agenda-custom-commands}, basically any | |
6348 key you can use after @kbd{C-c a}. For example, to directly print the | |
6349 current TODO list, you could use | |
6350 | |
6351 @example | |
6352 emacs -batch -l ~/.emacs -eval '(org-batch-agenda "t")' | lpr | |
6353 @end example | |
6354 | |
6355 If the parameter is a string with 2 or more characters, it is used as a | |
6356 tags/todo match string. For example, to print your local shopping list | |
6357 (all items with the tag @samp{shop}, but excluding the tag | |
6358 @samp{NewYork}), you could use | |
6359 | |
6360 @example | |

6378 which will produce a 30 day agenda, fully restricted to the Org file | |
6379 @file{~/org/projects.org}, not even including the diary. | |
6380 | |
6381 If you want to process the agenda data in more sophisticated ways, you | |
6382 can use the command @code{org-batch-agenda-csv} to get a comma-separated | |
6383 list of values for each agenda item. Each line in the output will | |
6384 contain a number of fields separated by commas. The fields in a line | |
6385 are: | |
6386 | |
6387 @example | |
6388 category @r{The category of the item} | |
6389 head @r{The headline, without TODO kwd, TAGS and PRIORITY} | |
6390 type @r{The type of the agenda entry, can be} | |
6391 todo @r{selected in TODO match} | |

6393 diary @r{imported from diary} | |
6394 deadline @r{a deadline} | |
6395 scheduled @r{scheduled} | |
6396 timestamp @r{appointment, selected by timestamp} | |

6531 Unlike La@TeX{} code, Org mode allows these macros to be present |
84308 | 6532 without surrounding math delimiters, for example: |

6535 Angles are written as Greek letters \alpha, \beta and \gamma. | |

6537 | |

6547 Just like in La@TeX{}, @samp{^} and @samp{_} are used to indicate super- | |
6548 and subscripts. Again, these can be used without embedding them in | |
6549 math-mode delimiters. To increase the readability of ASCII text, it is | |
6550 not necessary (but OK) to surround multi-character sub- and superscripts | |
6551 with curly braces. For example | |
6552 | |

6556 @end example | |
6557 | |
6558 To avoid interpretation as raised or lowered text, you can quote | |
6559 @samp{^} and @samp{_} with a backslash: @samp{\_} and @samp{\^}. | |
6560 | |
6561 During HTML export (@pxref{HTML export}), subscript and superscripts | |
6562 are surrounded with @code{<sub>} and @code{<sup>} tags, respectively. | |

6574 formula processor. To this end, Org mode can contain arbitrary La@TeX{} |
84308 | 6575 fragments. It provides commands to preview the typeset result of these |
6576 fragments, and upon export to HTML, all fragments will be converted to | |
6577 images and inlined into the HTML document@footnote{The La@TeX{} export | |
6578 will not use images for displaying La@TeX{} fragments but include these | |
6579 fragments directly into the La@TeX{} code.}. For this to work you | |
6580 need to be on a system with a working La@TeX{} installation. You also | |
6581 need the @file{dvipng} program, available at | |
6582 @url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvipng/}. The La@TeX{} header that | |
6583 will be used when processing a fragment can be configured with the | |
6584 variable @code{org-format-latex-header}. | |
6585 | |
6586 La@TeX{} fragments don't need any special marking at all. The following | |
6587 snippets will be identified as La@TeX{} source code: | |
6588 @itemize @bullet | |
6589 @item | |
6590 Environments of any kind. The only requirement is that the | |
6591 @code{\begin} statement appears on a new line, preceded by only | |
6592 whitespace. | |
6593 @item | |
6594 Text within the usual La@TeX{} math delimiters. To avoid conflicts with | |
6595 currency specifications, single @samp{$} characters are only recognized | |
6596 as math delimiters if the enclosed text contains at most two line breaks, | |
6597 is directly attached to the @samp{$} characters with no whitespace in | |
6598 between, and if the closing @samp{$} is followed by whitespace or | |
6599 punctuation. For the other delimiters, there is no such restriction, so | |
6600 when in doubt, use @samp{\(...\)} as inline math delimiters. | |
6601 @end itemize | |
6602 | |
6603 @noindent For example: | |
6604 | |
6605 @example | |
6606 \begin@{equation@} % arbitrary environments, | |
6607 x=\sqrt@{b@} % even tables, figures | |
6608 \end@{equation@} % etc | |
6609 | |
6610 If $a^2=b$ and \( b=2 \), then the solution must be | |
6611 either $$ a=+\sqrt@{2@} $$ or \[ a=-\sqrt@{2@} \]. | |
6612 @end example | |
6613 | |
6614 @noindent | |
6615 If you need any of the delimiter ASCII sequences for other purposes, you | |

7344 HTML export can inline images given as links in the Org file, and |
84308 | 7345 it can make an image the clickable part of a link. By |
7346 default@footnote{but see the variable | |
7347 @code{org-export-html-inline-images}}, images are inlined if a link does | |
7348 not have a description. So @samp{[[file:myimg.jpg]]} will be inlined, | |
7349 while @samp{[[file:myimg.jpg][the image]]} will just produce a link | |
7350 @samp{the image} that points to the image. If the description part | |
7351 itself is a @code{file:} link or a @code{http:} URL pointing to an | |
7352 image, this image will be inlined and activated so that clicking on the | |
7353 image will activate the link. For example, to include a thumbnail that | |
7354 will link to a high resolution version of the image, you could use: | |
7355 | |
7356 @example | |
7357 [[file:highres.jpg][file:thumb.jpg]] | |
7358 @end example | |
7359 | |

8573 If a table field starts with a link, and if the corresponding table | |
8574 column is narrowed (@pxref{Narrow columns}) to a width too small to | |
8575 display the link, the field would look entirely empty even though it is | |

8576 not. To prevent this, Org throws an error. The work-around is to |
84308 | 8577 make the column wide enough to fit the link, or to add some text (at |
8578 least 2 characters) before the link in the same field. | |
8579 @item | |
8580 Narrowing table columns does not work on XEmacs, because the | |
8581 @code{format} function does not transport text properties. | |
8582 @item | |
8583 Text in an entry protected with the @samp{QUOTE} keyword should not | |
8584 autowrap. | |
8585 @item | |
8586 When the application called by @kbd{C-c C-o} to open a file link fails | |
8587 (for example because the application does not exist or refuses to open | |
8588 the file), it does so silently. No error message is displayed. | |
8589 @item | |
8590 Recalculating a table line applies the formulas from left to right. | |
8591 If a formula uses @emph{calculated} fields further down the row, | |
8592 multiple recalculation may be needed to get all fields consistent. You | |
8593 may use the command @code{org-table-iterate} (@kbd{C-u C-c *}) to | |
8594 recalculate until convergence. | |
8595 @item | |
8596 The exporters work well, but could be made more efficient. | |

8808 This appendix describes a different approach. We keep the Orgtbl mode |
84308 | 8809 table in its native format (the @i{source table}), and use a custom |
8810 function to @i{translate} the table to the correct syntax, and to | |
8811 @i{install} it in the right location (the @i{target table}). This puts | |
8812 the burden of writing conversion functions on the user, but it allows | |
8813 for a very flexible system. | |

84308 | 8845 example: |
8846 @example | |

8850 @noindent | |
8851 @code{table_name} is the reference name for the table that is also used | |
8852 in the receiver lines. @code{translation_function} is the Lisp function | |
8853 that does the translation. Furthermore, the line can contain a list of | |
8854 arguments (alternating key and value) at the end. The arguments will be | |
8855 passed as a property list to the translation function for | |
8856 interpretation. A few standard parameters are already recognized and | |
8857 acted upon before the translation function is called: | |

8866 calculation marks, that column is automatically discarded as well. | |
8867 Please note that the translator function sees the table @emph{after} the | |
8868 removal of these columns, the function never knows that there have been | |
8869 additional columns. | |

8873 The one problem remaining is how to keep the source table in the buffer | |
8874 without disturbing the normal workings of the file, for example during | |
8875 compilation of a C file or processing of a La@TeX{} file. There are a | |
8876 number of different solutions: | |

8925 this may cause problems with font-lock in LaTeX mode. As shown in the |
84308 | 8926 example you can fix this by adding an extra line inside the |
8927 @code{comment} environment that is used to balance the dollar | |
8928 expressions. If you are using AUCTeX with the font-latex library, a | |
8929 much better solution is to add the @code{comment} environment to the | |
8930 variable @code{LaTeX-verbatim-environments}.}: | |

8948 When you are done, press @kbd{C-c C-c} in the table to get the converted | |
8949 table inserted between the two marker lines. | |
8950 | |
8951 Now lets assume you want to make the table header by hand, because you | |
8952 want to control how columns are aligned etc. In this case we make sure | |
8953 that the table translator does skip the first 2 lines of the source | |
8954 table, and tell the command to work as a @i{splice}, i.e. to not produce | |
8955 header and footer commands of the target table: | |

9032 @end group | |
9033 @end lisp | |
9034 | |
9035 As you can see, the properties passed into the function (variable | |
9036 @var{PARAMS}) are combined with the ones newly defined in the function | |
9037 (variable @var{PARAMS2}). The ones passed into the function (i.e. the | |
9038 ones set by the @samp{ORGTBL SEND} line) take precedence. So if you | |
9039 would like to use the La@TeX{} translator, but wanted the line endings to | |
9040 be @samp{\\[2mm]} instead of the default @samp{\\}, you could just | |
9041 overrule the default with | |
9042 | |
9043 @example | |
9044 #+ORGTBL: SEND test orgtbl-to-latex :lend " \\\\[2mm]" | |
9045 @end example | |
9046 | |
9047 For a new language, you can either write your own converter function in | |
9048 analogy with the La@TeX{} translator, or you can use the generic function | |
9049 directly. For example, if you have a language where a table is started | |
9050 with @samp{!BTBL!}, ended with @samp{!ETBL!}, and where table lines are | |
9051 started with @samp{!BL!}, ended with @samp{!EL!} and where the field | |
9052 separator is a TAB, you could call the generic translator like this (on | |
9053 a single line!): | |
9054 | |
9055 @example | |
9056 #+ORGTBL: SEND test orgtbl-to-generic :tstart "!BTBL!" :tend "!ETBL!" | |
9057 :lstart "!BL! " :lend " !EL!" :sep "\t" | |
9058 @end example | |
9059 | |
9060 @noindent | |
9061 Please check the documentation string of the function | |
9062 @code{orgtbl-to-generic} for a full list of parameters understood by | |
9063 that function and remember that you can pass each of them into | |
9064 @code{orgtbl-to-latex}, @code{orgtbl-to-texinfo}, and any other function | |
9065 using the generic function. | |
9066 | |
9067 Of course you can also write a completely new function doing complicated | |
9068 things the generic translator cannot do. A translator function takes | |
9069 two arguments. The first argument is the table, a list of lines, each | |
9070 line either the symbol @code{hline} or a list of fields. The second | |
9071 argument is the property list containing all parameters specified in the | |
9072 @samp{#+ORGTBL: SEND} line. The function must return a single string | |
9073 containing the formatted table. If you write a generally useful | |
9074 translator, please post it on @code{emacs-orgmode@@gnu.org} so that | |
9075 others can benefit from your work. | |

9124 Org documents can contain @emph{dynamic blocks}. These are |
84308 | 9125 specially marked regions that are updated by some user-written function. |
9126 A good example for such a block is the clock table inserted by the | |
9127 command @kbd{C-c C-x C-r} (@pxref{Clocking work time}). | |
9128 | |
9129 Dynamic block are enclosed by a BEGIN-END structure that assigns a name | |
9130 to the block and can also specify parameters for the function producing | |
9131 the content of the block. | |

9157 For a block with name @code{myblock}, the writer function is |

9159 with the parameters given in the begin line. Here is a trivial example | |

9170 The corresponding block writer function could look like this: | |
9171 | |
9172 @lisp | |
9173 (defun org-dblock-write:block-update-time (params) | |
9174 (let ((fmt (or (plist-get params :format) "%d. %m. %Y"))) | |

9176 (format-time-string fmt (current-time))))) | |

9179 If you want to make sure that all dynamic blocks are always up-to-date, | |

9181 example @code{before-save-hook}. @code{org-update-all-dblocks} is | |

9189 Org provides a special hook that can be used to narrow down the |
84308 | 9190 selection made by any of the agenda views. You may specify a function |
9191 that is used at each match to verify if the match should indeed be part | |
9192 of the agenda view, and if not, how much should be skipped. | |
9193 | |
9194 Let's say you want to produce a list of projects that contain a WAITING | |
9195 tag anywhere in the project tree. Let's further assume that you have | |

9197 PROJECT. In this case you would run a TODO search for the keyword |
84308 | 9198 PROJECT, but skip the match unless there is a WAITING tag anywhere in |
9199 the subtree belonging to the project line. | |
9200 | |
9201 To achieve this, you must write a function that searches the subtree for | |
9202 the tag. If the tag is found, the function must return @code{nil} to | |
9203 indicate that this match should not be skipped. If there is no such | |
9204 tag, return the location of the end of the subtree, to indicate that | |
9205 search should continue from there. | |
9206 | |

9208 (defun my-skip-unless-waiting () | |

9213 subtree-end))) ; tag not found, continue after end of subtree | |
9214 @end lisp | |
9215 | |
9216 Now you may use this function in an agenda custom command, for example | |
9217 like this: | |
9218 | |
9219 @lisp | |
9220 (org-add-agenda-custom-command | |
9221 '("b" todo "PROJECT" | |

9223 (org-agenda-overriding-header "Projects waiting for something: ")))) | |
9224 @end lisp | |
9225 | |
9226 Note that this also binds @code{org-agenda-overriding-header} to get a | |
9227 meaningful header in the agenda view. | |
