  25. <h4>Remember and Refile</h4>
  26. <ul>
  27. <li>
  28. The use of prefix arguments for the commands `org-remember'
  29. and `org-refile' has been normalized:
  30. <ul>
  31. <li>
  32. when called without prefix argment, the command does its
  33. normal job, starting a remember note or refiling a tree.
  34. </li>
  35. <li>
  36. when called with a single C-u pefix, these commands can be
  37. used to select a target location and to jump there. In
  38. the case of `org-remember', you will be prompted for a
  39. template and then Emacs jumpt to the default target
  40. location or this template. In the case of `org-refile',
  41. you select a location from the refile target list and jump
  42. there.
  43. </li>
  44. <li>
  45. when called with two prefixes (`C-u C-u'), the command
  46. jumps to the location last used for storing a note or a
  47. moved tree.
  48. </li>
  49. </ul></li>
  50. <li>
  51. When the clock is running inside an remember buffer, storing
  52. the remember buffer with `C-c C-c' will automatically clock
  53. out. This was inspired by a request by Rainer Stengle.
  54. </li>
  55. <li>
  56. Outline-path-completion is now available as an alternative
  57. interface in the command `org-goto'. Please select the
  58. default interface you'd like to use with the new variable
  59. `org-goto-interface'. You can then select the alternative
  60. interface with a prefix argument to `C-c C-j' (org-goto). I
  61. am considering to make outline-path-completion the default
  62. interface. Comments?
  63. </li>
  64. <li>
  65. The variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive'
  66. introduced only in 5.19 is obsolete. Please use
  67. `org-remember-interactive-interface' instead. This new
  68. variable does select the interface that is used to select
  69. the target for a remember note in an interactive way.
  70. Possible values are:
  71. <ul>
  72. <li>
  73. `outline': Use an outline of the document to select a
  74. location.
  75. </li>
  76. <li>
  77. `outline-path-completion': Use completion of an outline
  78. path to select a location.
  79. </li>
  80. <li>
  81. `refile': Offer the `org-refile-targets' as possible
  82. targets.
  83. </li>
  84. </ul></li>
  85. <li>
  86. You can now also have a plain (as opposed to deadline or
  87. scheduled) repeater timestamp in a task. Switching the task
  88. to DONE will now also shift a plain time stamp. This was a
  89. request by Austin Frank.
  90. </li>
  91. <li>
  92. It is no longer necessary to update the refiling targets -
  93. they are always current.
  94. </li>
  95. </ul>
  96. <p>*** Misc
  97. </p>
  98. <ul>
  99. <li>
  100. In `org-goto', typing characters now automatically starts
  101. isearch from the beginning of the buffer. The isearch is
  102. special also because it only matches in headline. This goes
  103. some way toward saving org-goto from being removed from
  104. Org-mode. Thanks to Piotr Zielinski for the code, and sorry
  105. that it took me o long to ut it in. If you prefer to use
  106. single letters n,p,f,b,u,q for navigation as before,
  107. configure the variable `org-goto-auto-isearch'.
  108. </li>
  109. <li>
  110. The clock table accepts a new parameter <code>:step</code>. This
  111. parameter can be `day' or `week' and will result in separate
  112. tables for each day or week in the requested time interval.
  113. This was triggered by a proposal by Sacha Chua in her <a href="http://sachachua.com/wp/2007/12/30/clocking-time-with-emacs-org/">blog</a>.
  114. </li>
  115. <li>
  116. A time-stamp with a repeater now no longer refers to the
  117. date <b>closest</b> to the current day. Instead, it means either
  118. today or the most recent match. This change makes sure that
  119. overdue scheduled or deadline items never disappear from the
  120. agenda. With the previous convention, an overdue sheduled
  121. item would disappear. For example, a weekly item scheduled
  122. for Sunday would appear as overdue until Wednesday, and the
  123. suddenly disappear until next Sunday. Now the item will
  124. show up as "Sched 7x" on Saturday. From Sunday on it will
  125. be in the list as "Scheduled", i.e. old sins will be
  126. forgiven. This follows a request by Warong, Dennis and
  127. Bernt.
  128. </li>
  129. <li>
  130. Archving a subtree now creates an additional property,
  131. <code>ARCHIVE_OLPATH</code>. This property contains the "path" in the
  132. outline tree to the archived entry, as it was in the
  133. original file. For example, archiving <code>Fix the door</code> in the
  134. following hierarchy
  135. <p>
  136. <pre>
  137. * Tasks
  138. ** HOME
  139. *** Garage
  140. **** Fix the door
  141. </pre>
  142. </p>
  143. <p>
  144. will file is with the following property
  145. </p>
  146. <p>
  147. <pre>
  148. :ARCHIVE_PATH: Task/HOME/Garage
  149. </pre>
  150. </p>
  151. <p>
  152. Note that you can configure (i.e. limit) the information
  153. that gets stored upon archiving with the variable
  154. `org-archive-save-context-info'.

  163. <h3>Overview</h3>
  164. <ul>
  165. <li>
  166. Column view can list the clocked times of a subtree.

  168. <li>
  169. Storing remember notes can use the `org-refile' interface.

  171. <li>
  172. Storing remember notes no longer produced empty lines.

  194. <h3>Details</h3>
  195. <ul>
  196. <li>
  197. A new special column definition lists the sum of all CLOCK
  198. entries in a subtree. For example
  199. <p>
  200. <pre>
  201. #+COLUMNS: %20ITEM %10Time_Estimate{:} %CLOCKSUM
  202. </pre>
  203. </p>
  204. <p>
  205. will allow you to compare estimated times (as given in the
  206. Time_Estimate property) with the clocked times. This was a
  207. request by Bernt Hansen.
  208. </p>
  209. </li>
  210. <li>
  211. Storing remember notes can now use the `org-refile'
  212. interface instead of the `org-goto' interface (see the
  213. variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive').
  214. Nothing will change if the note is stored immediately after
  215. pressing `C-c C-c' in the <code>*Remember*</code> buffer. But if you
  216. have chosen (e.g. by pressing `C-u C-c C-c') to
  217. interactively select the filing location (file and
  218. headline), the refile interface will be used instead. I am
  219. excited about this change, because the `org-goto' interface
  220. is basically a failure, at least for this application. Note
  221. that in any case the refile interface has to be configured
  222. first by customizing `org-refile-targets'.
  223. </li>
  224. <li>
  225. Notes inserted with remember now remove any whitespace
  226. before and after the note before being pasted, so that there
  227. will be no empty lines inserted together with the note. We
  228. could invent special syntax in remember templates to allow
  229. creating empty lines before a note - is there anyone who'd
  230. want this?
  231. </li>
  232. <li>
  233. Moving subtrees now folds all siblings of the subtree. This
  234. is the only reasonably simple way I could find to avoid the
  235. reported inconsistencies in the folding state of the outline
  236. tree after moving entries. There are reasons to like this
  237. new behavior, because it easily visualizes where the tree is
  238. located after the move. Still, not everyone might be happy
  239. with this. Massive complaining would be needed to make me

  242. <li>
  243. New variable `org-agenda-todo-keyword-format' to specify the
  244. width of the TODO keyword field in the agenda display. Use
  245. it to get things to line up better. This was a proposal by
  246. Rainer Stengele.
  247. </li>
  248. <li>
  249. If a link description inserted with `C-c C-l' contains
  250. brackets, the brackets will now be converted into curly
  251. braces. This looks similar enough. Supporting brackets in
  252. link descriptions is, for technical reasons too long to
  253. explain here, complex.
  254. </li>
  255. <li>
  256. The new option `org-clock-in-switch-to-state' can be set to
  257. a TODO state that will be enforced when the clock is started
  258. on an entry. This follows an idea by Sacha Chua.
  259. </li>
  260. <li>
  261. The EXPORT_FILE_NAME property may now also be an absolute
  262. file name, and it may contain abbreviations like "~" for the
  263. users home directory. This was requested by Adam Spiers.

  284. When cutting, pasting, or moving subtrees and items, the
  285. empty lines <b>before</b> the subtree/item now belong to the
  286. part and will be moved with it. There is one exception to
  287. this rule: If the first child is moved down (or,
  288. equivalently, the second is moved up), the amount of empty
  289. lines <b>above</b> the first child to be moved along with it is
  290. limited by the number of empty lines <b>below</b> it. This
  291. sounds complicated, but it allows to have extra empty space
  292. before the first child and still have good behavior of the
  293. subtree motion commands.

  313. The new command `org-remember-goto-last-stored' will jump
  314. to the location of the remember note stored most recently.
  315. If you have `org-remember' on a key like `C-c r', then you
  316. can go to the location with a double prefix arg: `C-u C-u
  317. C-c r'. This was a proposal by Rainer Stengele.
  318. </li>
  319. <li>
  320. Template items that are being prompted for can now specify
  321. a default value and a completion table. Furthermore,
  322. previous inputs at a specific prompt are captured in a
  323. history variable. For example:
  324. <p>
  325. <pre>
  326. %^{Author|Roald Dahl|Thomas Mann|Larry Niven}
  327. </pre>
  328. </p>
  329. <p>
  330. will prompt for an author name. Pressing RET without
  331. typing anything will select "Roald Dahl". Completion will
  332. give you any of the three names. And a history will be
  333. kept, so you can use the arrow keys to get to previous
  334. input. The history is tied to the prompt. By using the
  335. same prompt in different templates, you can build a history
  336. across templates. The ideas for this came from proposals
  337. by Bastien and Adam.
  338. </p>

  340. <li>
  341. When a remember template contains the string `%!', the note
  342. will be stored immediately after all template parts have
  343. been filled in, so you don't even have to press `C-c
  344. C-c'. The was a proposal by Adam Spiers.

  371. <h4>Restriction lock on agenda scope</h4>
  372. <p>
  373. You can now permanently lock the agenda construction to a
  374. certain scope, like a file or a subtree. So instead of
  375. pressing "&lt;" for each command in the agenda dispatcher, you
  376. only once select a restriction scope. All subsequent agenda
  377. commands will than respect this restriction. For example,
  378. you can use this at work, to limit agendas to your work file
  379. or tree, and at home to limit to the home file or tree. Or
  380. you can use it during the day in order to focus in on certain
  381. projects.
  382. </p>
  383. <p>
  384. You select a scope with the command `C-c C-x &lt;', which
  385. restricts to the current subtree. When called with a `C-u'
  386. prefix, the restriction is to the current file. You can also
  387. make restrictions from the speedbar frame, see below.
  388. </p>
  389. <p>
  390. When making a new restriction and an agenda window is
  391. currently visible, it will immediately be updated to reflect
  392. the new scope. TO if you like you can display an agenda view
  393. and then watch it change in various scopes.
  394. </p>
  395. <p>
  396. To get rid of the restriction, use the command "C-c C-x &gt;".
  397. Or press "&gt;" in the agenda dispatcher. Also, and use of "&lt;"
  398. in the dispatcher will disable the restriction lock and
  399. select a new restriction.

  427. </li>
  428. <li>
  429. You can set a restriction lock for the Org-mode agenda to a
  430. file or a subtree directly from the speedbar frame. Just
  431. press "&lt;" with the cursor on an Org-mode file or subtree to

  610. New command `org-refile' to quickly move a note to a
  611. different place. It is bound to `C-c C-w'. The foremost
  612. application might be to put a note or task captured with
  613. `remember' into the proper list or project. The command
  614. offers a list of possible refiling targets for completion.
  615. These are headings under which the entry will be inserted
  616. as a subitem. By default, this will offer all top-level
  617. headings in the current buffer, but you can configure the
  618. variable `org-refile-targets' to get more complex
  619. definitions. For example:
  620. <p>
  621. <pre>
  622. (setq org-refile-targets '((nil . (:level . 2))))
  623. </pre>
  624. </p>

  629. <p>
  630. <pre>
  631. (setq org-refile-targets
  632. '((org-agenda-files . (:tag . "refile"))))
  633. </pre>
  634. </p>
  635. <p>
  636. searches all agenda files and selects headlines that are
  637. explicitly marked with the tag :refile: . Note that the
  638. list of targets is built upon first use only, to rebuilt
  639. it, call the command `C-c C-w' with a double prefix
  640. argument.

  644. Mikhanosha. Many thanks Max.

  646. </li>
  647. <li>
  648. You can now use a C-u prefix on `org-remember' to jump to
  649. the location where a specific templates stores its notes.
  650. For example, if you have `org-remember' bound to `C-c r',
  651. then `C-u C-c r n' will get you to the file and headline
  652. given in the template associated with the letter "n".

  672. New function `org-remember-insinuate' that makes is easier
  673. to set Org-mode specific values for remember variables.
  674. Thanks to Michael Olson for this proposal. It is
  675. equivalent to:
  676. <p>
  677. <pre>
  678. (require 'remember)

  682. </pre>
  683. </p>
  684. <p>
  685. You might still want to set `org-default-notes-file' to
  686. provide a default for templates without a file, and
  687. `org-directory' to show where to find other org files.

  706. <li>
  707. Text in the "=" emphasis is now exported verbatim, i.e. no
  708. further parsing and interpretation of this text takes place. So
  709. you can write =quoted *xxx* a_x = b=. This and the following
  710. point implement a request by Daniel Clemente.
  711. </li>
  712. <li>
  713. There is a new emphasis marker "~" which marks text to be
  714. exported verbatim, without special formatting. Inside an
  715. org-mode file, this text is highlighted with the org-verbatim
  716. face. I am not happy with the face yet (currently is is like
  717. org-code, but underlined), please suggest a better one.
  718. </li>
  719. <li>
  720. Whether an emphasis environment is verbatim or not is now an
  721. extra flag in the variable `org-emphasis-alist'. If you have

  724. again.

  727. New variable `org-highlight-latex-fragments-and-specials'.
  728. When turned on, Org-mode will highlight all strings that
  729. are treated in a special way by the exporters. This is
  730. great for export-oriented writing, but maybe a bit noisy
  731. for note taking, so this feature is off by default.

  777. annoying, turn it off with `org-read-date-display-live'.
  778. </li>
  779. <li>
  780. The date prompt now prefers to select the future. If you
  781. enter a date without a month, and the day number is before
  782. today (for example, on the 16th of the month you enter
  783. "9"), Org-mode will assume next month. Similarly, if you
  784. enter a month and no year, next year will be assumed if the
  785. entered month is before the current, for example if you
  786. enter "May" in September. Thanks to John Rakestraw for
  787. this great suggestion. If you find it confusing, turn it
  788. off with `org-read-date-prefer-future'.
  789. </li>
  790. <li>
  791. When modifying an existing date using `C-c .' at the stamp,
  792. the time or time range in the stamp are now offered as
  793. default input at the prompt. This goes a long way to
  794. simplifying the modification of an existing date. Thanks
  795. to Adam Spiers for this proposal.

  976. <h4>Bug fixes and improvements in column view</h4>
  977. <ul>
  978. <li>
  979. All the bugs described by Scott Jaderholm have been fixed
  980. (at least I hope so&hellip;).
  981. </li>
  982. <li>
  983. You can now capture a column view into a dynamic block, for
  984. exporting or printing it. The column view can be
  985. <ul>
  986. <li>
  987. global, i.e. for the entire file
  988. </li>
  989. <li>
  990. local, i.e. for the subtree where the dynamic block is
  991. </li>
  992. <li>
  993. from an entry with a specific :ID: property.
  994. </li>
  995. </ul>
  996. <p>You can identify the entry whose column view you want to
  997. capture by assigning an :ID: property, and use that property
  998. in the dynamic block definition. For example:
  999. </p>
  1000. <p>
  1001. <pre>
  1002. * Planning
  1003. :PROPERTIES:
  1004. :ID: planning-overview
  1005. :END:
  1006. [...]
  1007. * The column view
  1008. #+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id "planning-overview"
  1009. #+END:
  1010. </pre>
  1011. </p>
  1012. <p>
  1013. Use `C-c C-x r' to insert such a dynamic block, and you will
  1014. be prompted for the ID.
  1015. </p>
  1016. </li>
  1017. <li>
  1018. When the current column format displays TODO keyword,
  1019. priority or tags, these parts are stripped from the content
  1020. of the ITEM column, making for more compact and readable
  1021. entries. When any of these "properties" are not listed in
  1022. the current column format, they are instead retained in the
  1023. ITEM column.
  1024. </li>
  1025. <li>
  1026. You can now also edit the ITEM column with `e'.
  1027. </li>
  1028. </ul></div>
  1029. <div class="outline-4">
  1030. <h4>The agenda dispatcher</h4>
  1031. <ul>
  1032. <li>
  1033. Instead of pressing `1' to restrict an agenda command to
  1034. the current buffer, or `0' to restrict it to the current
  1035. subtree or region, you can now also press `&lt;' once or
  1036. twice, respectively. This frees up `1' and `0' for user
  1037. commands, a request by Bastien. In fact, "&lt;" cycles
  1038. through different restriction states. "1" and "0" are
  1039. still available for backward compatibility, until you bind
  1040. them to custom commands.
  1041. </li>
  1042. <li>
  1043. The access code to custom agenda commands can now contain
  1044. several characters, effectively allowing to bundle several
  1045. similar commands into a sub-keymap. This follows an
  1046. excellent proposal by Adam Spiers. For example:
  1047. <p>
  1048. <pre>
  1049. (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
  1050. '(("h" . "HOME + Name tag searches") ; describe prefix "h"
  1051. ("hl" tags "+HOME+Lisa")
  1052. ("hp" tags "+HOME+Peter")
  1053. ("hk" tags "+HOME+Kim")))
  1054. </pre>
  1055. </p>
  1056. </li>
  1057. <li>
  1058. The user function option in org-agenda-custom-commands may
  1059. now also be a lambda expression, following a request by
  1060. Adam Spiers.

  1072. and in this way sort entries by anything you like.

  1087. <ul>
  1088. <li>
  1089. The table of context is wrapped into a div with a class
  1090. "table-of-contents".

  1092. <li>
  1093. The outline structure is embedded in &lt;div&gt; elements with

  1095. </li>
  1096. <li>
  1097. The postamble, containing the author information and the
  1098. date is wrapped into a div with class "postamble".

  1101. <p>I am not sure if the class names are the best choice, let me
  1102. know if there are more "canonical" choices.

  1110. <h4>Other stuff</h4>
  1111. <ul>
  1112. <li>
  1113. New variable `org-agenda-window-frame-fractions' to
  1114. customize the size limits of the agenda window in the case
  1115. that you display the agenda window by reorganizing the
  1116. frame.

  1124. </p>
  1125. <p>
  1126. This will define the drawers :HIDDEN: and :STATE:.
  1127. The :PROPERTY: drawer should always be part of this list, or
  1128. your properties will not be folded away.
  1129. Thanks to Richard G. Riley for this proposal.
  1130. </p>
  1131. </li>
  1132. <li>
  1133. `org-agenda-fontify-priorities' may now also be an
  1134. association list of priorities and faces, to specify the
  1135. faces of priorities in the agenda individually.
  1136. </li>
  1137. <li>
  1138. The variable `org-export-with-property-drawer' no longer
  1139. exists, please use `org-export-with-drawers' instead. Also,
  1140. the corresponding switch in the #+OPTIONS line has changed
  1141. from "p" to "d". Thanks to Bastien for pointing out that we
  1142. needed to handle not only the property drawer.
  1143. </li>
  1144. <li>
  1145. M-up and M-down now move the current line up and down (if
  1146. not at a headline, item or table). Among other things you

  1148. a proposal by Bastien.

  1241. Wiegley for a patch.

  1243. <li>
  1244. New sparse tree function `org-sparse-tree'. This is now the
  1245. default binding for `C-c /'. It requires one additional
  1246. keypress to select a command, but in return is provides a
  1247. single interface to all the different sparse tree commands,

  1336. The LOGGING property allows to modify the settings for
  1337. progress logging for a single entry. For example:
  1338. <p>
  1339. <pre>
  1340. :PROPERTIES:
  1341. :LOGGING: nologging nologrepeat
  1342. :END:
  1343. </pre>
  1344. </p>
  1345. <p>
  1346. turns off all progress logging for the current entry and its
  1347. children.
  1348. </p>
  1349. </li>
  1350. <li>
  1351. The properties SUMMARY, DESCRIPTION and LOCATION have
  1352. special meaning during iCalendar export, when they translate
  1353. to the corresponding VEVENT and VTODO fields. If not given,
  1354. Org-ode continues to use cleaned-up version of the headline
  1355. and body as the summary and the description, respectively.
  1356. </li>
  1357. <li>
  1358. New function to go to the entry with the currently running
  1359. clock. Bound to `C-c C-x C-j', in agenda also to "J". If
  1360. you use this often, you might even want to assign a global
  1361. key. Thanks to Bernt and Bastien.
  1362. </li>
  1363. <li>
  1364. Clock entries can now have their own drawer, the :CLOCK:
  1365. drawer. Check out the variable `org-clock-into-drawer' for
  1366. configuration of this feature. The default is to create a
  1367. drawer when the second clocking line gets added to an entry.
  1368. Note that "CLOCK" has been added to the default value of
  1369. `org-drawers', but if you have configured that variable, you
  1370. must go back and add "CLOCK" yourself to get this drawer
  1371. folded away. Thanks to Tom Weissman for pointing out that
  1372. too many clock entries are visually annoying.
  1373. </li>
  1374. <li>
  1375. `C-c C-x C-r' no longer tries to find the first clocktable
  1376. in a buffer and then updates it. Instead, it will update
  1377. the clocktable at point if there is one (same as C-c C-c
  1378. will do if the cursor is in the "#+BEGIN" line of the
  1379. table). If there is none at point, a new one will be
  1380. inserted. This change was necessary because the new :scope
  1381. parameter allows to have several clocktables in a buffer.
  1382. Thanks to Bastien for pointing this out.
  1383. To update all dynamic blocks in a file, use `C-u C-c C-x C-u'.
  1384. </li>
  1385. <li>
  1386. The function `org-remember' can now be called with a
  1387. template selection key as argument. This helps to make key
  1388. bindings that go directly to a specific template without
  1389. being prompted for a template, like this:
  1390. <p>
  1391. <pre>
  1392. (global-set-key [f5] (lambda () (interactive) (org-remember "j")))
  1393. </pre>
  1394. </p>
  1395. <p>
  1396. Thanks to Richard G Riley for bringing this up.
  1397. </p>
  1398. </li>
  1399. <li>
  1400. `C-n' and `C-p' are back to their default binding
  1401. (next/previous line) in the agenda buffer. Enough people,
  1402. including recently Denis Bueno, have complained about this,
  1403. and I agree it is not good to break habits like that.
  1404. </li>
  1405. <li>
  1406. `C-x C-s' in an agenda buffer now saves all org-mode buffers
  1407. (also `s' does this).
  1408. </li>
  1409. <li>
  1410. Setting schedule or deadline dates from the agenda now
  1411. produces a note in the agenda, similarly to what happens
  1412. with S-left/right.
  1413. </li>
  1414. <li>
  1415. Using a prefix argument for `C-c C-d' or `C-c C-s' will
  1416. remove the deadline or scheduling date from an item. Thanks
  1417. to Wanrong Lin for this proposal.
  1418. </li>
  1419. <li>
  1420. New variable `org-agenda-compact-blocks'. When set, the
  1421. space between blocks in a block agenda is reduced as much as
  1422. possible, to show more items on a single screen.
  1423. </li>
  1424. <li>
  1425. The variable `org-agenda-tags-column' (renamed from
  1426. `org-agenda-align-tags-to-column') can now also be negative,
  1427. to mean alignment to the left. The new default is -80, just
  1428. like it is now for `org-tags-column'.

  1474. <li>
  1475. Both the category and the archive location in a (sub)tree of
  1476. the buffer can now be specified using a property, for
  1477. example:
  1478. <p>
  1479. <pre>
  1480. * Tree with special properties
  1481. :PROPERTIES:
  1482. :CATEGORY: Examples
  1483. :ARCHIVE: /some/special/file::
  1484. :END:
  1485. </pre>
  1486. </p>
  1487. <p>
  1488. This is a much cleaner way of dealing with multiple
  1489. categories and archives in a single file. The preferred use
  1490. of the <code>#+CATEGORY</code> and <code>#+ARCHIVE</code> lines is now to set a
  1491. <b>single</b> default for the file which is then locally
  1492. overruled by properties. This was a proposal from Bastien
  1493. if I remember correctly. Multiple <code>#+</code> lines still work
  1494. and I don't plan to remove this support soon, but I
  1495. encourage you to stop using them.
  1496. </p>
  1497. </li>
  1498. <li>
  1499. The clocktable has a new <code>:scope</code> parameter that determines
  1500. the range in the file from which clock entries should be
  1501. taken. This can be anything from the local subtree to the
  1502. entire buffer to even the full list of agenda files. Legal
  1503. values are:
  1504. <table border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" rules="groups" frame="hsides">
  1505. <col align="left"></col><col align="left"></col>
  1506. <thead>
  1507. <tr><th>value</th><th>scope</th></tr>
  1508. </thead>
  1509. <tbody>
  1510. <tr><td>nil</td><td>the current buffer or narrowed region</td></tr>
  1511. <tr><td>file</td><td>the full current buffer</td></tr>
  1512. <tr><td>subtree</td><td>the subtree where the clocktable is located</td></tr>
  1513. <tr><td>treeN</td><td>the surrounding level N tree, for example tree3</td></tr>
  1514. <tr><td>tree</td><td>the surrounding level 1 tree</td></tr>
  1515. <tr><td>agenda</td><td>all agenda files</td></tr>
  1516. </tbody>
  1517. </table>
  1518. <p>
  1519. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer and Bernt Hansen for
  1520. inspiration. Thanks to cranreuch (what is you full name?)
  1521. for mentioning, at the right moment, that the clocktable is
  1522. not so bad - that remark made it seem worthwhile to add
  1523. features.
  1524. </p>
  1525. </li>
  1526. <li>
  1527. The commands to import a table and to convert a region to a
  1528. table can now handle comma-separated values (CSV). The
  1529. algorithm does not yet treat quoting correctly, but for
  1530. basic input it works.
  1531. </li>
  1532. <li>
  1533. When modifying an existing time stamp, or when entering the
  1534. second stamp of a range, the date prompt will now
  1535. consistently default to the date/time in the existing stamp.
  1536. This was triggered by Nuutti Kotivuori's request.
  1537. </li>
  1538. <li>
  1539. At the date/time prompt, there is a new way to specify a
  1540. range of hours, by using "+DURATION" after the time. For
  1541. example:
  1542. <p>
  1543. <pre>
  1544. 14:00+2 means 14:00-16:00
  1545. 2pm+2:30 means 14:00-16:30
  1546. </pre>
  1547. </p>
  1548. <p>
  1549. Again, Nuutti Kotivuori's request.
  1550. </p>
  1551. </li>
  1552. <li>
  1553. When you use the function `turn-on-orgstruct++' to turn on
  1554. orgstruct-mode, the special org-mode settings for
  1555. auto-filling, indentation and paragraphs are exported into
  1556. the buffer, so that typing list items with indentation works
  1557. better. This was Bastien's idea and request.
  1558. </li>
  1559. <li>
  1560. New variable `org-priority-start-cycle-with-default'. When
  1561. t (the default), priority cycling will initially set the
  1562. default priority and then increase or decrease. When nil,
  1563. the first priority set by cycling is already 1 different
  1564. from the default priority. This was mostly driven by
  1565. Bastien.
  1566. </li>
  1567. <li>
  1568. In column view: When an entry has a property for a summary
  1569. column defined, its value is normally overwritten by the sum
  1570. of all the children's values each time you enter column
  1571. view. Now there is an exception to this rule: If none of
  1572. the children has that particular property defined, the
  1573. parent's value stays. In this way you can still place TODO
  1574. items under such an entry without getting the property value
  1575. changed. Thanks to Russel Adams for pointing out that this
  1576. is a better way of doing things.
  1577. </li>
  1578. <li>
  1579. In column view, computed values are now bold face, and
  1580. trying to edit them is an error. I think this works, but
  1581. testing is appreciated.
  1582. </li>
  1583. <li>
  1584. New command `org-occur-in-agenda-files', this is basically
  1585. the quick command John Wiegley proposed the other day, but
  1586. it also works when the agenda files are not yet in buffers.
  1587. The key is `C-c C-x /', any better proposals?
  1588. </li>
  1589. <li>
  1590. Links containing a space will now be handled correctly when
  1591. calling the browser. Note that you need to enclose such
  1592. links in square or angular brackets.

  1635. remember.el (storing a note with minimum interruption of

  1657. </li>
  1658. <li>
  1659. You can now set the format of the string for each day in the
  1660. agenda and timeline buffers. You can use a format string
  1661. interpreted by `format-time-string', or you can write your
  1662. own function. Configure the new variable
  1663. `org-agenda-format-date'. Thanks to Levin for triggering
  1664. this development with a patch.
  1665. </li>
  1666. <li>
  1667. The default for `org-remember-store-without-prompt' is now
  1668. t, in order to better match the original intent of
  1669. remember.el (storing a note with minimum interruption of
  1670. work flow). Since we can assign files and headlines to
  1671. templates, I guess this takes care of selecting a filing
  1672. location in most cases. For interactive filing, you now
  1673. need a prefix command when exiting `remember'.
  1674. </li>
  1675. <li>
  1676. `org-goto' (bound to `C-c C-j') now uses an indirect buffer
  1677. and has additional commands enabled: Org-occur with `C-c /'
  1678. or even faster with `/', and the commands needed to select
  1679. and copy a region. This make `org-goto' a more general
  1680. lookup command instead of only a jumping command. Remember
  1681. that you can exit with `Q' to go back to the original
  1682. location. Thanks to William Henney for this idea.
  1683. </li>
  1684. <li>
  1685. Setting the priority with S-up/down now cycles back to a
  1686. state where no priority is specified. This was requested by
  1687. Rick Moynihan.
  1688. </li>
  1689. <li>
  1690. You can store a remember note to the <b>last used</b> location.
  1691. So if you select a location interactively once, you can
  1692. re-use it without having to find it again. For this, exit
  1693. the remember buffer with `C-u C-u C-c C-c'. The leading
  1694. comment in the remember buffer will tell exactly where the
  1695. note goes if you exit with a particular command.
  1696. Thanks to Maxim Loginov for this idea.
  1697. </li>
  1698. <li>
  1699. On Emacs 23, the headline faces for org-mode are now
  1700. inherited from the outline faces. This is just a
  1701. convenience, so that you only have to configure one set of
  1702. faces, and that will then be outline-1 .. outline-8. You
  1703. will actually not see any difference in org-mode, because
  1704. Stefan Monnier has made the outline faces in Emacs 23 to
  1705. match the current org-mode faces.
  1706. <p>

  1725. There is now a separate interface for fast and directly
  1726. setting a TODO keyword. This interface kicks in when you
  1727. have configured keys for TODO keywords like
  1728. <p>
  1729. <pre>
  1730. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) WAITING(w) | DONE(d) CANCELED(c)
  1731. </pre>
  1732. </p>
  1733. <p>
  1734. C-c C-t still does the cycling thing, you need to use a
  1735. prefix argument to get to the fast interface. Or configure
  1736. the variable `org-use-fast-todo-selection' to t, then this
  1737. will be the default and the prefix argument will make the
  1738. command fall back to cycling.
  1739. </p>
  1740. <p>
  1741. The tag selection no longer does include TODO keywords -
  1742. Leo's arguments have convinced me that this is not a good
  1743. idea. If you'd like to see the TODO keywords in the tags
  1744. interface anyway, set the variable
  1745. `org-fast-tag-selection-include-todo'. Thanks to Leo and
  1746. others for input on this issue.

  1749. <li>
  1750. New variable `org-edit-timestamp-down-means-later'. When

  1755. Property names can now contain non-ascii word characters.
  1756. This follows a request from Daniel Clemente.
  1757. </li>
  1758. <li>
  1759. For export, the date that should be given in the exported
  1760. file can now be set to a specific value with a line like

  1762. <pre>
  1763. #+DATE: 15 November 2003
  1764. </pre>
  1765. </p>
  1766. <p>
  1767. If you want to use the date/time when the file was created,
  1768. use a format string that will be interpreted by
  1769. `format-time-string', for example:
  1770. </p>
  1771. <p>
  1772. <pre>

  1778. The default of `org-deadline-warning-days' has changed to 14
  1779. days. 30 was really too much, I suspect most people (me
  1780. included) have changed this.
  1781. </li>
  1782. <li>
  1783. When a deadline has an individual lead time, this lead time
  1784. obviously overrules `org-deadline-warning-days'. However,
  1785. if you bind `org-deadline-warning-days' to a number &lt;=0, for
  1786. example during a custom agenda command, then the absolute
  1787. value of this number will be enforced also when a different
  1788. lead time has been specified. This is useful to get a list
  1789. of all deadlines coming up in the next N days.

  1835. You can now define different faces for different TODO
  1836. keywords. This request has come up frequently, so here it
  1837. is: Use the variable `org-todo-keyword-faces'.
  1838. <p>
  1839. A Here is a configuration example:
  1840. </p>
  1841. <p>
  1842. <pre>
  1843. (setq org-todo-keyword-faces
  1844. '(("TODO" . org-warning)
  1845. ("DEFERRED" . shadow)
  1846. ("CANCELED" . (:foreground "blue" :weight bold
  1847. :underline t))))
  1848. </pre>
  1849. </p>
  1850. <p>
  1851. Org-mode continue still use `org-todo' and `org-done' for
  1852. keywords that have no specific face assigned.
  1853. </p>
  1854. </li>
  1855. <li>
  1856. Some People use TODO states more like tags. For them the
  1857. TODO keywords mark special states and they like to quickly
  1858. switch between states in arbitrary sequence. The standard
  1859. TODO interface is not perfect for this, because it assumes
  1860. that the states are reached in sequence. However, the fast
  1861. tag setting interface is in fact perfect for this. You can
  1862. now "misuse" the TAG selection interface to also set TODO
  1863. states. All you need to do is to assign keys to the TODO
  1864. states, just like you also do for tags.
  1865. <p>
  1866. <pre>
  1867. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) WAITING(w) | CANCELED(c) DONE(d)
  1868. #+TAGS: @HOME(h) @OFFICE(o) @SHOP(s)
  1869. </pre>
  1870. </p>
  1871. <p>
  1872. Next time you try to set tags with C-c C-c, the todo states
  1873. will be offered as well, and the corresponding key will
  1874. switch the entry to that state.
  1875. </p>
  1876. </li>
  1877. <li>
  1878. New variable `org-archive-save-context-info' governs if
  1879. information that would be lost by moving a subtree to the
  1880. archive file, should be stored as special properties. For
  1881. example,
  1882. <p>
  1883. <pre>
  1884. (setq org-archive-save-context-info '(itags category))
  1885. </pre>
  1886. </p>
  1887. <p>
  1888. will store the inherited tags and the category in properties
  1889. ARCHIVE_ITAGS and ARCHIVE_CATEGORY, respectively. The
  1890. default setting for this variable is to save everything that
  1891. could be lost. This was a proposal by John Wiegley.
  1892. </p>
  1893. </li>
  1894. <li>
  1895. Sorting (`C-c ^') can use the use the priority to sort. Use
  1896. the "p" and "P" keys at the prompt. John Wiegley, again.
  1897. </li>
  1898. <li>
  1899. `Org-ellipsis' can now also be a face to make the folding
  1900. ellipsis more visible. This is based on a post by Tassilo
  1901. Horn. Since `org-ellipsis' only works in Org-mode, you
  1902. might want to use Tassilo Horn's hack directly in order to
  1903. affect the folding ellipsis globally.
  1904. </li>
  1905. <li>
  1906. Scheduling info is no longer removed when an entry is marked
  1907. CLOSED. This was a request by Brian van den Broek. Let me
  1908. know if this breaks anything for you - then it will become
  1909. an option.
  1910. </li>
  1911. <li>
  1912. New option `org-agenda-skip-unavailable-files'. Currently,
  1913. if a file does not exist, it will be removed from
  1914. `org-agenda-files' after a query. When this option is set,
  1915. the file will simply be skipped.

  1931. When exporting only a region and this region is a single
  1932. (sub)tree (for example selected with `C-c @'), the title for
  1933. the exported document is taken to be the heading of the
  1934. subtree. The sublevels become top-level entries in the
  1935. export. Furthermore, if the head entry of the tree has or
  1936. inherits an EXPORT_FILE_NAME property, that file name (with
  1937. appropriately substituted extension) will be used for the
  1938. exported tree. Thanks to Patrick Drechsler and Jost Burkart

  1941. <li>
  1942. org-special-ctrl-a/e has a third allowed value, `reversed'.
  1943. When it is set to this value, the first C-a or C-e command
  1944. behaves normally, i.e. it goes to the true beginning or end
  1945. of the line. Only when you press C-a or C-e immediately
  1946. again, the the "special" position will be found. Additional
  1947. presses of the same key jump between the two positions. I
  1948. like this a lot better than the `t' setting, because now the
  1949. keys behave more predictable and still give easy access to
  1950. the special locations.

  2009. Bastien's `org-export-latex.el' is now part of the org-mode
  2010. distribution. You can export an Org-mode document to a
  2011. LaTeX file with `C-c C-e l'. For more options, see the
  2012. manual, and the commentary in the Lisp file. Kudos to
  2013. Bastien for contributing this frequently requested feature.
  2014. I am sure this has been tough because of the many different

  2016. be incorporated in lazy free-format ways.

  2019. Org-mode has now an extension mechanism for the hyperlink
  2020. system. This should clear the road for all those mairix and
  2021. other ideas that have been floating around. Now it is on
  2022. <b>you</b> to write and share new link types for Org-mode. The
  2023. interface for adding a new link type is described in the
  2024. appendix of the manual, section A2. The unsolved problem is
  2025. currently how to handle the new link types for
  2026. export/publishing.

  2028. <li>
  2029. New <b>global</b> commands `org-open-at-point-global' and
  2030. `org-insert-link-global'. You can bind these commands to
  2031. global keys and use them to insert and follow Org-mode-like
  2032. links anywhere in Emacs. Thanks to Adam Spiers for this
  2033. excellent idea.

  2036. Each deadline timestamp may now specify its own interval of
  2037. lead-time display, given in days, weeks, months or years.
  2038. The syntax is like this
  2039. <p>
  2040. <pre>
  2041. DEADLINE: &lt;2007-08-13 Mon -5d&gt;
  2042. </pre>
  2043. </p>
  2044. <p>
  2045. When combined with a repeater, the repeater has to come
  2046. first:
  2047. </p>
  2048. <p>
  2049. <pre>
  2050. DEADLINE: &lt;2007-08-13 Mon +2w -5d&gt;
  2051. </pre>
  2052. </p>
  2053. <p>
  2054. You may now also customize the faces that are used in the
  2055. agenda to indicate the distance of an approaching deadline.
  2056. See the new option `org-agenda-deadline-faces'.

  2063. <li>
  2064. New option `org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all'. When
  2065. set to nil, repeating time stamps will only show up once in
  2066. the agenda, either today or in the near future. Other
  2067. matches will be ignored. Thanks to John Wiegley for this
  2068. proposal.
  2069. </li>
  2070. <li>
  2071. New variable `org-remember-store-without-prompt'. When set,
  2072. exiting the remember buffer with C-c C-c will store the note
  2073. without further prompts to the default location, and `C-u
  2074. C-c C-c' will get the prompts for file and location. So
  2075. this variable reverses the prefix-argument functionality for
  2076. storing remember notes. This follows a request from John
  2077. Wiegley.
  2078. </li>
  2079. <li>
  2080. A new function `org-agenda-to-appt' activates all
  2081. appointments for the current day so that Emacs will display
  2082. reminders. This uses appt.el. Thanks to Bastien for this
  2083. function.
  2084. </li>
  2085. <li>
  2086. You can now set default values for properties that can be
  2087. inherited by all entries in a buffer, or by all entries
  2088. globally. Global properties are set in the variable
  2089. `org-global-properties', like this:
  2090. <p>
  2091. (setq org-global-properties '(("NAME" "This is the value")))
  2092. </p>
  2093. <p>
  2094. Buffer-local values are set like this:
  2095. </p>
  2096. <p>
  2097. #+PROPERTY: NAME This is the value
  2098. </p>
  2099. <p>
  2100. When using org-entry-get to get the value of a property with
  2101. the `inherit' flag and the hierarchy above the entry does
  2102. not contain this property, the buffer-local and global lists
  2103. are checked as well. This is mostly useful (I think) to set
  2104. the list of allowed values for a property. Thanks to Bernt

  2226. with S-left and S-right. And you may use completion when
  2227. inserting the property. This goes a long way to prevent

  2320. <h4>Orgstruct minor mode</h4>
  2321. <p>
  2322. There is a new minor mode, orgstruct-mode. This modes works
  2323. in a similar way as Orgtbl-mode. It can be used to export
  2324. the Org-mode structure-editing commands into arbitrary major
  2325. modes in Emacs. For example, you can use it in Mail-mode to
  2326. easily create lists.
  2327. </p>
  2328. <p>
  2329. The functionality in Orgstruct mode is only active, if the
  2330. cursor is in a line that looks either like a headline, or
  2331. like the first line of a plain list item. Then the commands
  2332. `TAB', `M-cursor', `M-S-cursor', `M-RET', `M-S-RET', `C-c ^',
  2333. `C-c C-c', and `C-c -' will do structure-related editing just
  2334. like in Org-mode. If the cursor is not in such a line, all
  2335. these keys will do whatever the major mode or other active
  2336. minor modes have assigned to them.
  2337. </p>
  2338. <p>
  2339. Orgstruct-mode is the result of a proposal by Raman, quite
  2340. some time ago. It has taken a long time, but here is finally
  2341. the promised implementation.

  2344. <div class="outline-4">
  2345. <h4>Drawers</h4>
  2346. <p>
  2347. The new concept of <i>drawers</i> allows to create sections
  2348. that remain folded during visibility cycling. Drawers need
  2349. to be configured using the variable `org-drawers'. A drawer
  2350. starts with a line containing only the name of the drawer
  2351. bracketed by colons. It ends with :END:. For example,
  2352. after setting
  2353. </p>
  2354. <p>
  2355. <pre>
  2356. (setq org-drawers '("PROPERTIES" "HIDDEN"))
  2357. </pre>
  2358. </p>
  2359. <p>
  2360. you can then create drawers like this:
  2361. </p>
  2362. <p>
  2363. <pre>
  2364. :HIDDEN:
  2365. here is some stuff that remains hidden
  2366. unless TAB is pressed directly in that line
  2367. :END:
  2368. </pre>
  2369. </p>
  2370. <p>
  2371. The PROPERTIES drawer has special meaning for ORG-mode, it
  2372. contains properties of an entry (see below).
  2373. </p>
  2374. </div>
  2375. <div class="outline-4">
  2376. <h4>Properties and Column View</h4>
  2377. <ul>
  2378. <li>
  2379. Entries in Org-mode can now have arbitrary <i>properties</i>
  2380. associated with them. Org-mode handles some default
  2381. properties like the TODO state, the priority, the local
  2382. tags, and planning information like DEADLINE and SCHEDULED.
  2383. In addition, you can assign arbitrary properties by creating
  2384. a property drawer and inserting a line like
  2385. <p>
  2386. <pre>
  2387. :PROPNAME: This is the value of the property
  2388. </pre>
  2389. </p>
  2390. <p>
  2391. Org-mode has an API for properties, if you want to write a
  2392. program using properties, use the functions
  2393. `org-entry-properties', `org-entry-get', `org-entry-put',
  2394. and `org-entry-delete'.
  2395. </p>
  2396. </li>
  2397. <li>
  2398. Planning information like DEADLINE can be hidden in the
  2399. properties drawer.
  2400. <p>
  2401. If the PROPERTIES drawer starts in the first line after a
  2402. headline, also the DEADLINE, SCHEDULED and CLOCK information
  2403. will be inserted inside the drawer. If no PROPERTIES drawer
  2404. is present, or if it does not start in the line right after
  2405. the headline, this information remains in the lines directly
  2406. after the headline, outside the drawer.
  2407. </p>
  2408. </li>
  2409. <li>
  2410. TAGS searches can now also query properties. For example,
  2411. the search
  2412. <p>
  2413. <pre>
  2414. LEVEL=3+BOSS+ASSIGNED="Hans"/WAITING
  2415. </pre>
  2416. </p>
  2417. <p>
  2418. will find entries that
  2419. </p><ul>
  2420. <li>
  2421. are level 3
  2422. </li>
  2423. <li>
  2424. have the tag BOSS
  2425. </li>
  2426. <li>
  2427. have an ASSIGNED property with the value "Hans"
  2428. </li>
  2429. <li>
  2430. are TODO status WAITING.
  2431. <p>
  2432. So here is an entry that will match:
  2433. </p>
  2434. <p>
  2435. <pre>
  2436. *** WAITING Clean up the factory :BOSS:
  2437. :PROPERTIES:
  2438. :ASSIGNED: Hans
  2439. :END:
  2440. </pre>
  2441. </p>
  2442. <p>
  2443. You may also use a regular expression to match against a
  2444. property value. For example, to find stuff assigned to Hans
  2445. or Sarah, use
  2446. </p>
  2447. <p>
  2448. <pre>
  2449. ASSIGNED={^\(Hans\|Sarah\)$}
  2450. </pre>
  2451. </p>
  2452. </li>
  2453. </ul></li>
  2454. <li>
  2455. Column View is a special way to look at property values in
  2456. tabular form. Column View can be used in any org-mode
  2457. file, and also in any agenda buffer. It works by placing
  2458. an overlay over each headline (or agenda line) that shows a
  2459. table of selected properties. You can look at and edit
  2460. properties from this view. Which properties are shown in
  2461. the table must be set up using the COLUMNS property. You
  2462. can set up different property columns on different levels
  2463. of an outline tree. For example:
  2464. <p>
  2465. <pre>
  2466. * People
  2467. :PROPERTIES:
  2468. :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name
  2469. :END:
  2470. ** Family
  2471. :PROPERTIES:
  2472. :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name %3Age
  2473. :END:
  2474. *** Sam
  2475. Info about Sam, including a property list with Name and Age.
  2476. *** Sarah
  2477. Info about Sarah, including a property list with Name and Age.
  2478. ** Office
  2479. :PROPERTIES:
  2480. :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name %Function %Salary
  2481. :END:
  2482. *** Boss
  2483. Info about the Boss, including a property list with Name,
  2484. Function and Salary (if only we knew....).
  2485. </pre>
  2486. </p>
  2487. <p>
  2488. Now we have defined three different sets of columns. If
  2489. you switch to column view in the <i>Family</i> section, you
  2490. will get a different table than if you do it in the
  2491. <i>Office</i> section. However, if you switch to column
  2492. view with the cursor on the <i>People</i> section, the
  2493. table will cover all entries, but contain only the
  2494. <i>Name</i>.
  2495. </p>
  2496. <p>
  2497. Column view does, for the time being, only work on Emacs.
  2498. The XEmacs implementation needs a bit of work.
  2499. </p>
  2500. </li>
  2501. <li>
  2502. Properties can be used in table formulas. To access the
  2503. value of the property :XYZ:, use $PROP_XYZ. The property
  2504. needs to be defined in the hierarchy above the table, not
  2505. necessarily in the same entry as the table. This was a
  2506. request by Eddward. File-wide constants can be defined with
  2507. #+CONSTANTS, see below.

  2540. <h4>Spreadsheet</h4>
  2541. <ul>
  2542. <li>
  2543. In the spreadsheet, the evaluation of formulas has changed.
  2544. Previously, first the column formulas would be evaluated
  2545. everywhere, and then the field formulas would kick in, and
  2546. in some cases overwrite the results of column formulas in
  2547. the appropriate fields. This had the side effect that some
  2548. formulas might always use the wrong, intermediate content of
  2549. a field that is computed both by a column and a field
  2550. formula.
  2551. <p>
  2552. From now on, column formulas will no longer temporarily
  2553. overwrite field formulas. This gives much more consistent
  2554. results. For example you can now finally have a column of
  2555. increasing numbers by setting the first field to a fixed
  2556. number, and let the rest follow from a column formula.
  2557. </p>
  2558. <p>
  2559. Here is an example
  2560. </p>
  2561. <p>
  2562. <pre>
  2563. | 1 |
  2564. | 2 |

  2567. </pre>
  2568. </p>
  2569. </li>
  2570. <li>
  2571. Constants for formulas in spreadsheets are globally defined
  2572. with the variable `org-table-formula-constants'. File-local
  2573. constants can now be set with a line like:
  2574. <p>
  2575. <pre>
  2576. #+CONSTANTS: c=299792458. pi=3.14 eps=2.4e-6

  2681. <ul>
  2682. <li>
  2683. There is now a special version of `org.el' for XEmacs.
  2684. Before installation, as an XEmacs user you must rename the
  2685. file org_xemacs.el to org.el, i.e. you must overwrite org.el
  2686. with the xemacs version. For example:
  2687. <p>
  2688. <pre>
  2689. mv org_xemacs.el org.el
  2690. </pre>
  2691. </p>
  2692. <p>
  2693. This is necessary so that I can make use of some features
  2694. that would be cumbersome to support in a single file. The
  2695. XEmacs version is derived from the Emacs version with a
  2696. program, so no reason to fear that I might be dropping
  2697. XEmacs support any time soon. Sorry for the trouble.

  2701. <div class="outline-3">
  2702. <h3>Details</h3>
  2703. <ul>
  2704. <li>
  2705. A time stamp may now contain a range of times. So you no
  2706. longer need to use two separate stamps to indicate a time
  2707. interval on a single day. For example
  2708. <p>
  2709. <pre>
  2710. &lt;2007-06-18 Mon 17:30-18:20&gt;
  2711. </pre>
  2712. </p>
  2713. <p>
  2714. This is now fully supported, including changing the time
  2715. with S-up/down while the cursor is on the end time. Also,
  2716. da the date/time prompt, you can simply write your time like
  2717. 12:00-14:00 and the range will be inserted.
  2718. </p>
  2719. <p>
  2720. This was proposed by Leo some time ago, and recently by
  2721. Michael.
  2722. </p>
  2723. </li>
  2724. <li>
  2725. You may specify clocking times by hand (i.e. without
  2726. clocking in and out) using this syntax.
  2727. <p>
  2728. <pre>
  2729. CLOCK: =&gt; 2:00
  2730. </pre>
  2731. </p>
  2732. <p>
  2733. Thanks to Scott Jaderholm for this proposal.
  2734. </p>
  2735. </li>
  2736. <li>
  2737. TAGS may now contain language-specific word characters, as
  2738. long as they are matched by the "[:alnum:]" regexp syntax.
  2739. This is for Emacs only, the XEmacs version continues to use
  2740. the character class "a-zA-Z0-9_@" for tag names. Thanks to
  2741. David Smith for a patch to this effect (a modified version
  2742. of that patch was applied). I am considering to make the
  2743. same change for TODO keywords, but not yet. Note that files
  2744. using localization features may not work correctly in the
  2745. Emacs configuration of another user, so if you are sharing
  2746. org-mode files with other users, it might still be best to
  2747. stick to the ASCII characters.
  2748. </li>
  2749. <li>
  2750. Promotion and demotion of plain list items (commands M-left,
  2751. M-right) no longer changes the indentation by just one
  2752. space. Instead, it uses intelligence gathered from the
  2753. surrounding list structure to do the right thing. Thanks to
  2754. William Henney for starting the discussion about this.
  2755. </li>
  2756. <li>
  2757. TAB does now a better job of indenting lines.
  2758. <ul>
  2759. <li>
  2760. After tables and code segments (lines starting with ":"),
  2761. indentation goes back to what it was before (thanks to
  2762. William Henney for suggesting this behavior).
  2763. </li>
  2764. <li>
  2765. When plain lists items are involved, we had a long
  2766. discussion on emacs-orgmode where I tried to show that a
  2767. too-sophisticated implementation will still be easily
  2768. fooled. Here is what I have implemented now - lets see
  2769. if we can agree on this:
  2770. <p>
  2771. Indentation will flatten lists with the same bullet type,
  2772. but indent another bullet type further. The time when
  2773. this fails is in a nested list, when you want to get back
  2774. out to a previous level. For example
  2775. </p>
  2776. <p>
  2777. <pre>
  2778. - item 1
  2779. - item 2
  2780. + item 2a
  2781. + item 2b
  2782. - item 3
  2783. </pre>
  2784. </p>
  2785. <p>
  2786. When using TAB on every line in this list, the structure
  2787. will change to
  2788. </p>
  2789. <p>
  2790. <pre>
  2791. - item 1
  2792. - item 2
  2793. + item 2a
  2794. + item 2b
  2795. - item 3
  2796. </pre>
  2797. </p>
  2798. <p>
  2799. So you need to change the level of the last line by hand,
  2800. using promotion and demotion functions.

  2829. You can now specify column groups in tables, to the effect
  2830. that the groups will be separated by vertical lines in HTML
  2831. and ASCII output. Column groups are specified by the
  2832. characters "&lt;" and "&gt;" in a special table row. "&lt;" starts a
  2833. group, "&gt;" ends a group (in each case including the the
  2834. column where the character is specified). You may also use
  2835. "&lt;&gt;" to make a group a single column wide. For example:
  2836. <p>
  2837. <pre>
  2838. | | N | N^2 | N^3 | N^4 | sqrt(n) | sqrt[4](N) |
  2839. |---+----+-----+-----+-----+---------+------------|
  2840. | / | &lt;&gt; | &lt; | | &gt; | &lt; | &gt; |
  2841. | # | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
  2842. | # | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 | 1.4142 | 1.1892 |
  2843. | # | 3 | 9 | 27 | 81 | 1.7321 | 1.3161 |
  2844. #+TBLFM: $3=$2^2::$4=$2^3::$5=$2^4::$6=sqrt($2)::$7=sqrt(sqrt(($2))
  2845. </pre>
  2846. </p>
  2847. <p>
  2848. A table row with with nothing but "/" in the first field is
  2849. never exported, but can be used to place column group
  2850. information into the table. In this table, we create a
  2851. group for column 2, one for columns 3-5 and one for columns
  2852. 6-7. HTML export will render a vertical line between these
  2853. groups.
  2854. </p>
  2855. <p>
  2856. Because HTML does not require closing &lt;colgroup&gt; tags with
  2857. &lt;/colgroup&gt;), you can also simply start a new column
  2858. wherever you want a vertical line:
  2859. </p>
  2860. <p>
  2861. <pre>
  2862. | N | N^2 | N^3 | N^4 | sqrt(n) | sqrt[4](N0 |
  2863. |---+-----+-----+-----+---------+------------|
  2864. | / | &lt; | &lt; | | &lt; | |
  2865. </pre>
  2866. </p>
  2867. </li>
  2868. <li>
  2869. Vertical lines are now also omitted in ASCII export, unless
  2870. grouping explicitly requests these lines.
  2871. </li>
  2872. <li>
  2873. The default for `org-show-following-heading' is now nil,
  2874. meaning that sparse trees will be more compact. This has
  2875. become possible due to in important remark by Jason Dunsmore
  2876. who pointed out that TAB should behave differently in the
  2877. inconsistent trees produced by the sparse tree commands.
  2878. TAB does now make sure that the heading after a freshly
  2879. unfolded tree is made visible at all, removing the confusing
  2880. behavior we had before.
  2881. </li>
  2882. <li>
  2883. Several bugs fixed. In particular:
  2884. <ul>
  2885. <li>
  2886. Strings produced by agenda batch processing with
  2887. `org-batch-agenda' and `org-batch-agenda-csv' are now
  2888. properly encoded, so that you should be able to use
  2889. special characters in other languages as along as your
  2890. post-processing program handles them correctly. At least
  2891. for Emacs this should work now, but have not yet figured
  2892. out how to do this in XEmacs.

  2978. </p>
  2979. <ul>
  2980. <li>
  2981. You can use an sexp diary entry (with the syntax used by the
  2982. Emacs calendar/diary) in a time stamp, like this:
  2983. <p>
  2984. *** The nerd club meets on 2nd Thursday of every month
  2985. </p></li>
  2986. </ul>
  2987. <p><span class="timestamp">%%(diary-float t 4 2)</span><br/>
  2988. </p>
  2989. <ul>
  2990. <li>
  2991. You can put diary-style sexp entries directly into an
  2992. org-mode file, where they will be interpreted just like they
  2993. would in the diary. For example
  2994. <ul>
  2995. <li>
  2996. Birthdays and similar stuff
  2997. </li>
  2998. </ul>
  2999. <p>#+CATEGORY: Holiday
  3000. %%(org-calendar-holiday) ; special function for holiday names
  3001. #+CATEGORY: Ann
  3002. %%(diary-anniversary 14 5 1956) Artur Dent %d is years old
  3003. %%(diary-anniversary 2 10 1869) Mahatma Gandhi
  3004. </p>
  3005. <p>
  3006. These entries must start at column 0 to be evaluated.
  3007. </p>
  3008. <p>
  3009. It turns out that evaluating the entries in an org-mode file
  3010. is actually faster than in the diary itself, because using
  3011. the diary has some overhead (creating fancy diary display,
  3012. then reading and re-interpreting the entries). I have moved
  3013. all the sexp entries from my diary into an org-mode file,
  3014. put in a few categories, and then turned off
  3015. `org-agenda-include-diary'. This has led to a noticeably
  3016. faster agenda display.
  3017. </p>
  3018. </li>
  3019. <li>
  3020. New command `org-replace-region-by-html' that converts the
  3021. current region from org-mode syntax into HTML. For example,
  3022. you might write an itemized list in plain text in an HTML
  3023. buffer, and then invoke this command to convert it. Thanks
  3024. to Raman for this idea.
  3025. </li>
  3026. <li>
  3027. When inserting a link with `C-c C-l', completion will now
  3028. fill in all valid link prefixes, like http or ftp, but also
  3029. link abbreviation prefixes. This is based on an idea by
  3030. Bastien.
  3031. </li>
  3032. <li>
  3033. Highest, lowest, and default priority can be set on a
  3034. per-file basis with #+PRIORITIES: H L D
  3035. For example, to use priorities from 1 to 9, you could use
  3036. <p>
  3037. #+PRIORITIES: 1 9 9
  3038. </p>
  3039. <p>
  3040. Thanks to Dmitri Minaev for a patch to this effect.
  3041. </p>
  3042. </li>
  3043. <li>
  3044. iCalendar export now honors (i.e. skips) subtrees marked as
  3045. ARCHIVE, COMMENT, or QUOTE.
  3046. </li>
  3047. <li>
  3048. There is a new command to add or change the emphasis (like
  3049. bold or italic) of a piece of text. For lack of better
  3050. available keys the command is at `C-c C-x C-f', but you may
  3051. well want to choose a more convenient key like `C-c f' in
  3052. your private setup:
  3053. <p>
  3054. (add-hook 'org-load-hook
  3055. (lambda () (define-key org-mode-map "\C-cf" 'org-emphasize)))
  3056. </p>
  3057. <p>
  3058. The command will prompt for an emphasis type, and you may
  3059. reply either with the marker that triggers the emphasis, or
  3060. with the first letter of the corresponding HTML tag. For
  3061. example, to select italic, press either "/" or "i".
  3062. </p>
  3063. <p>
  3064. If there is an active region, the emphasis of this region
  3065. will be set or changed. If there is no region, only the
  3066. emphasis markers will be inserted and the cursor positioned
  3067. between them. Thanks to Bastien for proposing this feature.
  3068. </p>
  3069. </li>
  3070. <li>
  3071. Bug fixes, everything where I have replied "fixed" on the

  3099. Agenda views can be exported as plain text, as HTML, and as
  3100. Postscript(R). This can simply be done from the agenda
  3101. buffer with `C-x C-w' and then specifying a filename like
  3102. `myagenda.html' or `myagenda.ps'. See section 8.6.4 of the
  3103. manual.
  3104. </li>
  3105. <li>
  3106. Each custom agenda view can specify a list of associated
  3107. files names. The command `C-c a e' then creates all views
  3108. that have associated file names and exports the views to
  3109. these files. This is great for producing paper versions of
  3110. your views, to take with you when you don't have your
  3111. computer. The manual has an example on how to do this, and
  3112. in particular on how to customize the format of the printed

  3191. Better control over blank lines between trees in collapsed
  3192. view. This has come up several times in the past and most
  3193. recently by Scott Jaderholm. There is now a new variable
  3194. `org-cycle-separator-lines' with default value 2. It says
  3195. how many empty lines there need to be after the end of a
  3196. subtree to get an empty line in collapsed view. So with the
  3197. default, if you leave only one empty line it will disappear
  3198. in collapsed view. If you leave two, one empty line will
  3199. remain so that you can use double empty lines to structure
  3200. the collapsed views of a file. I love it, so many thanks to
  3201. Scott fro bringing this up again.
  3202. <p>
  3203. One property of the new setup is that you will never get
  3204. more than one blank line in collapsed view. We could do
  3205. something special to allow <b>several</b> empty lines in
  3206. collapsed view, but I think this is counter-productive.
  3207. </p>
  3208. <p>
  3209. In Emacs 22, if you want to make full use of this, make sure
  3210. that you have not set `outline-blank-line'.
  3211. </p>
  3212. </li>
  3213. <li>
  3214. When the clock is running, Org-mode will put info about it
  3215. into the modeline. The info consists of the elapsed time
  3216. and the heading of the clocked item. This was a proposal
  3217. from Bastien who got the idea from Muse.
  3218. </li>
  3219. <li>
  3220. C-a can behave specially in headlines when you set the
  3221. variable `org-special-ctrl-a'. It will bring the cursor
  3222. first back only to the beginning of the headline <b>text</b>,
  3223. i.e. after the stars and the TODO keyword, if any. A second
  3224. C-a will then move the cursor to the beginning of the line.
  3225. If the cursor is already at the beginning of the line, C-a
  3226. will spring <b>forward</b> to the headline text. This was a
  3227. proposal from Leo, based on a request from Scott Jaderholm.
  3228. <p>
  3229. I have not turned this turned this on by default, should I?
  3230. </p>
  3231. </li>
  3232. <li>
  3233. When LaTeX fragments are processed into images, there is now
  3234. more control and (hopefully) betters defaults for colors and
  3235. scaling. Special values can be set for HTML export, so that
  3236. these values can differ from what is used for display in an
  3237. emacs buffer. The default foreground and background colors
  3238. for images embedded in emacs are now taken from the default
  3239. emacs face. Thanks to Xiao-Yong Jin for proposing these
  3240. changes.
  3241. </li>
  3242. <li>
  3243. There is now a much better mechanism to change some keys in
  3244. org-mode if these keys clash with other modes you use. Turn
  3245. this on by setting `org-replace-disputed-keys' (aliased to
  3246. `org-CUA-compatible'). The list of keys to replace is now
  3247. fully customizable, see the option `org-disputed-keys'.
  3248. Many thanks to Meciej Katafiasz for a patch implementing
  3249. this.
  3250. </li>
  3251. <li>
  3252. Stuck project descriptions have been extended. You can now
  3253. use "*" as a TODO keyword or tag to say that <b>any</b> TODO
  3254. keyword or TAG marks a project as non-stuck. You also can
  3255. give an arbitrary regular expression that, if it matches,
  3256. indicates a non-stuck project.

  3283. `org-export-table-header-tags' and

  3291. </li>

  3293. The prefix version of `org-todo-list' works again. This
  3294. means that `C-1 C-c a t' produces the list of TODO entries
  3295. for the first TODO keyword. If you use different TODO setups
  3296. in different agenda files, be careful: This number now

  3331. Further development concerning TODO keywords.
  3332. <ul>
  3333. <li>
  3334. You can now have several DONE states in a sequence, like
  3335. <p>
  3336. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO VERIFY | DONE DELEGATED
  3337. </p>
  3338. <p>
  3339. The difference to the proposal discussed on the mailing
  3340. list (and which is also works!)
  3341. </p>
  3342. <p>
  3343. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO VERIFY | DONE
  3344. #+SEQ_TODO: | CANCELED
  3345. </p>
  3346. <p>
  3347. is that in the first case, the extra DONE states will be
  3348. reached with `C-c C-t' (or with `t' from the agenda), while
  3349. in the second case you need S-&lt;right&gt; to get to the special
  3350. states. I guess both ideas can be useful - I am leaning
  3351. toward using the latter.
  3352. </p>
  3353. </li>
  3354. <li>
  3355. Setting up TODO keywords in Lisp previously used two
  3356. separate variables: `org-todo-keywords' and
  3357. `org-todo-interpretation'. The preferred way is now to use
  3358. only `org-todo-keywords', with a new structure:
  3359. <p>
  3360. (setq org-todo-keywords
  3361. '((sequence "TODO" "|" "DONE")
  3362. (sequence "BUG" "KNOWNCAUSE" "|" "FIXED" "IGNORED")
  3363. (type "Fred" "Lisa" "Peter" "|" "DONE")
  3364. (sequence "CANCELED") ; for things we decide to not do.
  3365. ))
  3366. </p>
  3367. <p>
  3368. If your setting has this new structure,
  3369. `org-todo-interpretation' will be ignored. This change
  3370. does not break backward compatibility. The old way of
  3371. using a flat list in `org-todo-keywords' and taking the
  3372. interpretation from the other variable still works.
  3373. </p>
  3374. </li>
  3375. <li>
  3376. When listing <b>specific</b> TODO entries via a sparse tree
  3377. (`C-u C-c C-v') or via the agenda (`C-c a T' or `C-u C-c a
  3378. t'), you can now specify several keywords to be selected,
  3379. like "TODO|VERIFY|WAITING". This also works for custom
  3380. agenda commands. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer for pointing
  3381. out this omission.
  3382. </li>
  3383. </ul></li>
  3384. <li>
  3385. If you have configured Org-mode to export also the text
  3386. before the first headline (this is done by setting the
  3387. variable `org-export-skip-text-before-1st-heading' to nil),
  3388. then the first normal text line in the buffer becomes the
  3389. title of the exported document. A title set with #+TITLE
  3390. overules this default, and the first line then belongs to the
  3391. normal text. Thanks to David House for this proposal.
  3392. </li>
  3393. <li>
  3394. TTY replacement keys. Some of the key bindings used by
  3395. Org-mode do not work on a tty, so replacement key sequences
  3396. are provided on ttys. In version 4.70, there are some
  3397. changes in the tty replacements. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer
  3398. for coming up with the idea to use C-c &lt;cursor&gt; keys.

  3422. This time the changes affect the following areas:
  3423. </p>
  3424. <ul>
  3425. <li>
  3426. TODO keywords: Multiple sequences in a single file.

  3436. </li>
  3437. <li>
  3438. Tables: New command to insert hline and move into line below.
  3439. </li>

  3448. <h3>Incompatible changes</h3>
  3449. <ul>
  3450. <li>
  3451. It used to be possible to spread the list of TODO keywords
  3452. over several lines, like
  3453. <p>
  3454. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO
  3455. #+SEQ_TODO: PROGRESS
  3456. #+SEQ_TODO: DONE
  3457. </p>
  3458. <p>
  3459. This is no longer possible. Each such line now specifies an
  3460. independent set of TODO keywords, with its own DONE state.
  3461. See below for details.
  3462. </p>
  3463. </li>
  3464. <li>
  3465. The #+TEXT construct has been used to insert unchanged HTML
  3466. into an exported file. This is no longer possible, the TEXT
  3467. lines will be processed like any other lines. However,
  3468. there are now much better ways of getting quoted HTML into
  3469. the exported file.
  3470. </li>
  3471. </ul></div>
  3472. <div class="outline-3">
  3473. <h3>Details</h3>
  3474. <ul>
  3475. <li>
  3476. You can now use multiple sets of TODO keywords in the same
  3477. buffer. For example, you may put the following three lines
  3478. into a file:
  3479. <p>
  3480. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO DONE
  3481. #+SEQ_TODO: REPORT BUG KNOWNCAUSE RESOLVED
  3482. #+TYP_TODO: Fred Laura Peter Me OK
  3483. </p>
  3484. <p>
  3485. Each sub-sequence has its own DONE state. It is best to use
  3486. different keywords in all sequences, to make sure Org-mode
  3487. does not loose track in which specific sequence it is
  3488. working. You could use the same word for all DONE states,
  3489. but then cycling through to a TODO state might not bring you
  3490. where you want to be.
  3491. </p>
  3492. <p>
  3493. After initially setting a keyword, `C-c C-t' cycles through
  3494. a sublist, i.e. is cycles from TODO to DONE or from
  3495. KNOWNCAUSE to RESOLVED and further to (nothing) and back to
  3496. REPORT.
  3497. </p>
  3498. <p>
  3499. S-right and S-left allow to select any keyword, so they move
  3500. from DONE to REPORT and from RESOLVED to Fred.
  3501. </p>
  3502. <p>
  3503. C-S-right and C-S-left jump from one sub-sequence to the
  3504. next, for example from TODO or DONE to REPORT to Fred.
  3505. </p>
  3506. <p>
  3507. Thanks to Rick Moynihan for triggering this development.
  3508. </p>
  3509. </li>
  3510. <li>
  3511. Text before the first headline can now be exported if you
  3512. configure Org-mode accordingly. Either set the variable
  3513. `org-export-skip-text-before-1st-heading' to nil, or use the
  3514. new in-buffer option
  3515. <p>
  3516. #+OPTION: skip:nil
  3517. </p>
  3518. </li>
  3519. <li>
  3520. Export content specified via the #+TEXT construct is now
  3521. fully processed, i.e. links, emphasis etc. are all
  3522. interpreted. #+TEXT lines may include
  3523. #+BEGIN_HTML&hellip;#+END_HTML sections to embed literal HTML.
  3524. </li>
  3525. <li>
  3526. During HTML export, you can request to have a<sub>b</sub>
  3527. interpreted as a subscript, but to leave a_b as it is. This
  3528. can be done by setting the variable
  3529. org-export-sub-superscript to the symbol `{}' with
  3530. <p>
  3531. (setq org-export-sub-superscript '{})
  3532. </p>
  3533. <p>
  3534. or by using
  3535. </p>
  3536. <p>
  3537. #+OPTIONS: ^:{}
  3538. </p>
  3539. <p>
  3540. Thanks to Eddward DeVilla for this idea.
  3541. </p>
  3542. </li>
  3543. <li>
  3544. New variable `org-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists'.
  3545. Default is nil, meaning that empty lines are part of the
  3546. previous list item, and that you can have several paragraphs
  3547. in one such item. Set this to t if you want an empty line
  3548. terminate all levels of plain list items.
  3549. <p>
  3550. Thanks to Mike Newman for triggering this development.
  3551. </p>
  3552. </li>
  3553. <li>
  3554. C-c RET does insert a horizontal separator line and move the
  3555. cursor into the table line below it. Thanks to Bastien for
  3556. this proposal.
  3557. </li>
  3558. <li>
  3559. Org-mode always offers you to record a note when a TODO item
  3560. automatically repeats, even if you are not logging state
  3561. changes. The new variable `org-log-repeat' allows to turn
  3562. this off, so that notes are really only been taken if you
  3563. are logging all state changes.

  3622. formulas. The column references without specified row can be
  3623. written as C&amp; instead of $3. Such references make formulas
  3624. easier to read and are now the default way how references are
  3625. shown when you edit existing formulas. To get the old behavior
  3626. back (i.e. only @row$col references), set the variable
  3627. `org-table-use-standard-references' to nil.

  3744. simplified using a generic function `orgtbl-to-generic' that can
  3745. be used for very general languanges. Writing your own translator
  3746. should be very easy now. More info in the manual.
  3747. </li>
  3748. <li>
  3749. CONTENTS visibility can be limited to a certain level. The
  3750. command `C-3 S-TAB' will switch to CONTENTS view and show the
  3751. first 3 levels.

  3761. <h3>Overview</h3>
  3762. <ul>
  3763. <li>
  3764. Orgtbl can be used to maintain tables in LaTeX, and in any other mode
  3765. </li>
  3766. <li>
  3767. Editing Lisp formulas for tables improved.

  3777. <h3>Detailed description of changes</h3>
  3778. <ul>
  3779. <li>
  3780. You can use orgtbl mode to maintain a LaTeX table, or pretty much
  3781. any table in any mode.
  3782. <p>
  3783. This does <b>not</b> work by making Orgtbl aware of LaTeX syntax. That
  3784. would be a box of Pandora I am not willing to open. Instead, you
  3785. use a normal Orgtbl-mode table, and a converter program to
  3786. automatically place a LaTeX version of the table into the correct
  3787. spot in the LaTeX file. The orgtbl-mode table can be maintained
  3788. inside the same file, in a block comment.
  3789. </p>
  3790. <p>
  3791. I am providing translators for LaTeX, HTML, and TeXInfo. For
  3792. other applications, you need to write one yourself - but that is
  3793. not hard if you start from the LaTeX version and just modify it.
  3794. Thanks to Thomas Baumann for triggering this development through
  3795. a request for a table-to-LaTeX converter.
  3796. </p>
  3797. </li>
  3798. <li>
  3799. In the special buffer to edit the formulas of a table (created
  3800. with "C-c '"), there is now better support for editing Lisp
  3801. formulas. TAB and M-TAB work like in an Emacs Lisp buffer,
  3802. indenting lines and completing lisp symbols. With the cursor on
  3803. a line defining a complex Lisp formula, a first press on TAB will
  3804. convert the formula into a pretty-printed version with proper
  3805. linebreaks and indentation. A second TAB folds the line back to
  3806. the compact form.
  3807. </li>
  3808. <li>
  3809. Tables in HTML export have now additional structure elements
  3810. defined. The header (before the first hline) is wrapped into
  3811. &lt;thead&gt;..&lt;/thead&gt;, and each part of the body (as separated in
  3812. org-mode by hlines) is wrapped into &lt;tbody&gt;..&lt;/tbody&gt; tags. I
  3813. have also changed the CSS style for &lt;td&gt; fields and the value of
  3814. `org-export-html-table-tag' to get cleaner tables. Basically,
  3815. tables now have horizontal lines only where needed, and no
  3816. vertical lines at all, as generally recommended for tables in
  3817. printed text. I like the new look, but I am not sure if this
  3818. change will find general approval, please throw in your view if
  3819. you like. Thanks to Scott for driving this, and to goud-H for
  3820. pointing me to the row grouping in tables.
  3821. </li>
  3822. <li>
  3823. In a table with calculation markers in the first column, you can
  3824. now also put "/" into the first column. It indicates that this
  3825. line should not be exported. The foremost application for this
  3826. are lines containing only "&lt;N&gt;" markers for narrowing columns.

  3836. Email links get better, configurable descriptions

  3852. <h3>Detailed description of changes</h3>
  3853. <ul>
  3854. <li>
  3855. The descriptive part of links to email messages can be configured
  3856. using the variable `org-email-link-description-format'. The new
  3857. default is "Email %c: %.30s" and leads to
  3858. <p>
  3859. Email from NAME: SUBJECT
  3860. </p>
  3861. <p>
  3862. If you configure the variable `org-from-is-user-regexp'
  3863. correctly, then for email you <b>sent</b> this will actually change to
  3864. </p>
  3865. <p>
  3866. Email to NAME: SUBJECT
  3867. </p>
  3868. <p>
  3869. The subject is limited to 30 characters. If you have become
  3870. attached to the previous default (look twice, the new one is
  3871. better), use "%f on: %s" as your format.
  3872. </p>
  3873. </li>
  3874. <li>
  3875. Selecting text before entering a new link with C-c C-l now really
  3876. works, the selected text becomes the description part of the
  3877. link. Requested by Scott, buggy 4.62 implementation is now fixed.
  3878. </li>
  3879. <li>
  3880. Stored links are part of the history list for C-c C-l, so to
  3881. reach them, you can use up/down rather than completion. Thanks
  3882. to Raman for this excellent idea.
  3883. </li>
  3884. <li>
  3885. A line consisting only of "-", and at least 5 of them, is
  3886. exported into HTML as &lt;hr/&gt;, as proposed by Giovanni Ridolfi.
  3887. </li>
  3888. <li>
  3889. Several changes to org &lt;-&gt; remember integration
  3890. <ul>
  3891. <li>
  3892. You can use `org-remember' as your default command to start
  3893. remember. It will automatically detect if there is an active
  3894. region and use it as initial content (we will probably make
  3895. remember.el work like this as well).
  3896. Also, when calling `org-remember' in a remember buffer that
  3897. was created with a template, you will again be asked to
  3898. select a template. The buffer is then re-created with the
  3899. new template, but the old context information. This is
  3900. useful if you change your mind about the template to use
  3901. (Leo's idea).
  3902. </li>
  3903. <li>
  3904. Besides specifying a default <b>target</b> file for a note, you
  3905. can also give a default <b>heading</b> of which the note should
  3906. become a subitem. In many cases this avoids or speeds up
  3907. navigating to the right location. Both file and heading can
  3908. be different for each template. Both are non-binding, you
  3909. can change them while storing the note. However, when you
  3910. exit remember with C-u C-c C-c, these defaults will be used
  3911. without interaction.
  3912. </li>
  3913. <li>
  3914. Templates can specify interactive fields. During expansion
  3915. of the template, you will be prompted for the information in
  3916. that field. For example %^t will pop up a calendar and ask
  3917. you to select a date. This new feature follows a proposal
  3918. from Leo, who in the mean time has said he does not need it
  3919. anymore. But I liked it, so here it is :-)
  3920. </li>
  3921. <li>
  3922. Templates can access information specific to the link type
  3923. created, for example the author and subject of an email.
  3924. Syntax is %:fromname, %:fromaddress, %:subject etc, details
  3925. in the manual. Proposed by Peder O. Klingenberg.
  3926. </li>
  3927. <li>
  3928. I have been considering to move, at some stage, the template
  3929. functionality into remember.el itself - which would of course
  3930. require consent of the remember.el maintainers. I am not
  3931. sure how well this would work though, since some things like
  3932. the interactive time stamps are org.el specific, so treating
  3933. them would require special hooks. Comments?
