you only need to copy the following lines to your @file{.emacs} file.

@code{org-todo-list} - please choose suitable keys yourself.

Headlines define the structure of the Org-mode file, and also lists

headline levels.  However, when taking notes, the plain text is
sometimes easier to read with hand-formatted lists.  Org-mode supports

@kindex @key{TAB}

Items can be folded just like headline levels if you set the variable
@code{org-cycle-include-plain-lists}.  The level of an item is then
given by the indentation of the bullet/number.  However, items are

@node Table calculations, orgtbl-mode, Built-in table editor, Tables
@section Calculations in tables
@cindex calculations, in tables

The table editor makes use of the Emacs @file{calc} package to
implement spreadsheet-like capabilities.  Org-mode has two levels of
complexity for table calculations.  On the basic level, tables do only
horizontal computations, so a field can be computed from other fields

@node Formula syntax, Column formulas, Table calculations, Table calculations
@subsection Formula syntax

A formula can be any algebraic expression understood by the Emacs
@file{calc} package.  Before evaluation by @code{calc-eval}
(@pxref{Calling Calc from Your Lisp Programs,calc-eval,Calling calc
from Your Lisp Programs,calc,GNU Emacs Calc Manual}), variable

  &III-II  @r{vector of fields between 2nd and 3rd hline above}
  &III     @r{vector of fields between third hline above and current field}
  $name    @r{a named field, parameter or constant}
@end example

The range vectors can be directly fed into the calc vector functions
like @samp{vmean} and @samp{vsum}.

@samp{$name} is interpreted as the name of a column, parameter or
constant.  Constants are defined globally through the variable
@code{org-table-formula-constants}.  If you have the
@file{constants.el} package, it will also be used to resolve
constants, including natural constants like @samp{$h} for Planck's
constant, units like @samp{$km} for kilometers.  Column names and
parameters can be specified in special table lines.  These are
described below, see @ref{Advanced features}.

A formula can contain an optional mode string after a semicolon.  This
string consists of flags to influence calc's modes@footnote{By
default, Org-mode uses the standard calc modes (precision 12, angular
units degrees, fraction and symbolic modes off).  However, the display
format has been changed to @code{(float 5)} to keep tables compact.

  taylor($3,x=7,2)     @r{taylor series of $3, at x=7, second degree}
@end example

@node Column formulas, Advanced features, Formula syntax, Table calculations
@subsection Column formulas

To apply a formula to a field, type it directly into the field,
preceded by an equal sign, like @samp{=$1+$2}.  When you press
@key{TAB} or @key{RET} or @kbd{C-c C-c} with the cursor still in the
field, the formula will be stored as the formula for the current

command @kbd{C-c =}.  It prompts for a formula (with default taken
from the @samp{#+TBLFM:} line) and applies it to the current field.  A
numerical prefix (e.g. @kbd{C-5 C-c =}) will apply it to that many
subsequent fields in the current column.

To recompute all the fields in a line, use the command @kbd{C-c *}.
It re-applies all stored equations to the current row, from left to
right.  With a @kbd{C-u} prefix, this will be done to every line in
the table, so use this command it you want to make sure the entire
table is up-to-date. @kbd{C-u C-c C-c} is another way to update the

@noindent @b{Important}: Please note that for these special tables,
recalculating the table with @kbd{C-u C-c *} does only affect rows
which are marked @samp{#} or @samp{*}, and named fields.  The column
formulas are not applied in rows with empty first field.

The marking characters have the following meaning:
@table @samp
@item !
The fields in this line define names for the columns, so that you may
refer to a column as @samp{$Tot} instead of @samp{$6}.

A named field can have its own formula associated with it.  In the

Each occurence of @samp{MyTarget} in the file is an active link that

@cindex inserting links
@kindex C-c C-o
@item C-c C-o
Open link at point.  This will launch a web browser for URLs (using
@command{browse-url-at-point}), run vm/gnus/bbdb for the corresponding
links, execute the command in a shell link, visit text files with
Emacs and select a suitable application for non-text files.
Classification of files is based on file extension only.  See option
@code{org-file-apps}.  If there is no link at point, the current
subtree will be searched for one.  If you want to override the default
application and visit the file with Emacs, use a @kbd{C-u} prefix.

'--------------------------------'

View TODO items in a @emph{sparse tree} (@pxref{Sparse trees}).  Folds
the entire buffer, but shows all TODO items and the headings hierarchy
above them.  With prefix arg, show also the DONE entries.  With
numerical prefix N, show the tree for the Nth keyword in the variable
@code{org-todo-keywords}.
@kindex C-c t
@item C-c t
Show the global TODO list.  This collects the TODO items from all
agenda files (@pxref{Agenda}) into a single buffer.  The buffer is in
@code{agenda-mode}, so there are commands to examine and manipulate
the TODO entries directly from that buffer (@pxref{Agenda commands}).
A prefix argument can be used to collect only TODO entries of a
particular type.  With a C-u prefix you are prompted for a keyword.
With a numeric prefix, the Nth keyword in @code{org-todo-keywords} is
selected.
@kindex r
The @kbd{r} key in the agenda buffer regenerates it, and you can give
a prefix argument to this command to change the selected TODO keyword,
for example @kbd{3 r}.  The key binding @kbd{C-c t} is only a
suggestion - see @ref{Installation and Activation}.
@kindex C-u C-c a
@item C-u C-c a
A @kbd{C-u} argument to the @code{org-agenda command} (@pxref{Agenda})
includes all unfinished TODO items at the beginning of todays agenda.

If you wish to implement a tag system to cross-correlate information,
this can be done as well in Org-mode.  Every headline can contain a
list of tags, at the end of the headline.  Tags are normal words
containing letters and @samp{_}, but no numbers.  Tags must be
preceded and followed by a single colon; like @samp{:WORK:}.  Several
tags can be specified like @samp{:WORK:URGENT:}.

@cindex inheritance, of tags
Tags make use of the hierarchical structure of outline trees.  If a
heading has a certain tag, all subheadings will inherit the tag as
well.  For example, in the list

@example
* Meeting with the French group      :WORK:
** Summary by Frank                  :BOSS:
*** TODO Prepare slides for him      :ACTION:

the final heading will have the tags @samp{:WORK:}, @samp{:BOSS:}, and
@samp{:ACTION:}.

@table @kbd
@kindex C-c C-c
@item C-c C-c
@cindex completion, of tags
Enter new tags for the current headline.  The minibuffer will prompt
for a list of tags and offer completion with respect to all other tags
used in the current buffer.  After pressing @key{RET}, the tags will
be inserted and aligned to @code{org-tags-column}.  When called with a
@kbd{C-u} prefix, align all tags in the current buffer to that column,
just to make things look nice.  Tags can also be just typed into the
buffer, with @kbd{M-@key{TAB}} support.
@cindex M-@key{TAB}
@item M-@key{TAB}
Tags can also be typed directly into the buffer, using
@kbd{M-@key{TAB}} completion.
@kindex C-c \
@item C-c \
Create a sparse tree with all headlines matching a given set of tags.
The command prompts for the tags to match.  The criterion is just a
list of tags separated by @samp{+} or @samp{-} for positive and
negative selection.  For example, @samp{+WORK-BOSS} would select all
headlines that are tagged @samp{:WORK:}, but discard those also tagged
@samp{:BOSS:}.

Items can be folded just like headline levels if you set the variable
@code{org-cycle-include-plain-lists}.  The level of an item is then
given by the indentation of the bullet/number.  However, items are
always subordinate to real headlines, the hierarchies remain

@samp{$name} is interpreted as the name of a column, parameter or

Org-mode can collect and sort selected items into a separate buffer.

Thus even if you only work with a single Org-mode file, this file must
be put into that list@footnote{When using the dispatcher pressing
@kbd{1} before selecting a command will actually limit the command to
the current file, and ignore @code{org-agenda-files} until the next
