To -that end significant effort has been made and continues to be made by -the Org community to ensure that high quality, user focused, -documentation is readily available to everyone. - -Org itself contains a comprehensive guide to using all aspects of the -system, how to extend it yourself, and highlights some of the many -burgeoning number of add-on packages that others are contributing. -This guide, [[info:org:Top][The Org Manual]], concentrates on the facts of working with -the system. Supplementing this, the [[Org web pages]] contain pointers to -many tutorials and how-to's which capture much of spirit and -imagination people show when using Org as a basis for building broader -organizational systems that help them help themselves. - -I use Org, but it is a big system, and so I happen to think that -improving the consistency, clarity and accuracy of Org documents helps -both me and all other users of the system. In support of this and by -way of justification and clarification, this short note attempts to -capture some of the existing guidelines and standards that have been -used in the patches I am submitting and, which I hope, may be adopted -by others when making their own contributions. - -* Referencing systems, packages, modes and much else - -Originally Org was a single mode and there was no ambiguity about what -Org mode could refer to. Things have changed rapidly though and it -seems that Carsten now thinks of Org as the system encompassing the -major mode, some minor modes, and an increasing number of additional -packages and plug-ins that build on the core Org functionality. It is -really hard to find a consistent way to refer to all these things, but -what I am trying to do is follow these guidelines (which are not -perfect, merely a start): - -- In general write "Org" as much as possible and, in particular, when - discussing concepts, features and functions that are generally - applicable to Org as a whole. - -- Be more specific and write, for example, "the Orgtbl minor mode" - when referring to something unique to that feature. It may be, for - example, a command is only available when you are actually editing a - file using just that mode, add-on package or plug-in. - -- Prefer "Org mode" to "Org-mode" or "org-mode". This is simply - because it reflects an existing convention in [[info:emacs:Top][The Emacs Manual]] which - consistently documents mode names in this form - "Text mode", - "Outline mode", "Mail mode", etc. - -- Likewise refer, if at all possible, to "Org file or "Org buffer" - meaning with, great generality, any file or buffer which requires - use of some part of Org to edit it properly. - -- Org uses "org-..." to ring fence a name space for itself in the - Emacs code base. This is obviously retained in code snippets. - -* Other Org specific conventions - -Unless there is a good reason to do otherwise, then try and adopt the -following conventions. (I think all can be justified by reference to -Carsten or precedent in other significant Emacs documentation, unless -I have made them up of course). - -- Org has *lots* of commands and a /lot/ of them take prefix arguments of - one sort or another. Write in full "prefix argument", "numeric - prefix argument" or, maybe, "a numeric prefix argument N" when you - want to refer to the argument again. - -- Org lives in various states of harmony and discord with other Emacs - packages. Try and write the names of those packages as their - authors and maintainers write them. So it should be (I think) BBDB, - MH-E, Rmail, VM, Gnus, CDLaTeX etc. - -- TODO keywords, whether Org or user defined, are written in capitals. - -- Built-in tags with a special meaning (e.g. ARCHIVE) are written in - uppercase. User defined tags (e.g. boss, home) are written in - lowercase. - -- Built-in properties (e.g. PRIORITY) are written in uppercase. User - defined properties (e.g. Release) are written in lowercase. - -- Entries in the concept index are normally all lower case unless some - other rule dictates otherwise. - -* org-manual.org specific conventions - -Org git repository comes with an .org version of the manual in the -=doc/= directory. Here are indications that are specific to this -version of the manual. - -- Five of the standard Texinfo indexes are used in the Org manual: - - + #+cindex: :: concept index, for general concepts - + #+findex: :: function index, for function and function-like names - + #+kindex: :: keystroke index, for keyboard commands - + #+pindex: :: program index, for names of programs - + #+vindex: :: variable index, for variable names - -- Use fixed-width area for one-line examples. - -- Use example blocks for Org syntax instead of "begin_src org". - -- Internal links to headlines always start with a star. - -- Tags, node properties, are not shown with the surrounding colons. - -- When to use = ... = or ~ ... ~ markup: - - + files or extensions use = ... =, - + anything that is meant to be written in the Org buffer uses = ... =, - + any meaningful token in a programming language uses ~ ... ~. - -* Miscellaneous - - - Only two of the standard Texinfo indexes are used; those for - concepts and keys. This has some implications: - - + The preference is to document commands by key rather than by name - - + Texinfo commands such as @var and @defoption are not used. The - preference for this type of thing is that the user browses the - customize groups. If you want or need to refer to, say, a - variable then document it as "the variable - @code{org-startup-folded}" - - + Entries in the concept index are normally all lower case unless - some other rule dictates otherwise. - - - Org documentation is written in American English, which is somewhat - foreign as far as I am concerned, but live with it anyway. - - - Org uses a number of compound words, words that I wouldn't - necessarily run together. Instead of worrying about whether these - should be separate, hyphenated or compound I have simply gone with - the majority case as originally written and then tried to make sure - the spell checker knows what this chosen standard should be so that - I do not worry about it anymore. - - - I have run a spell checker periodically. Aspell works well and has - a useful Texinfo filter (although, annoyingly, I cannot make this - work with ispell.el and so I run it from the command line). I have - an Org specific Aspell configuration file (which sets an American - dictionary, rules for compound words etc) and which, along with the - associated word and replacement files, captures some of the more - detailed and somewhat arbitrary rules I have used. - - - Org has really low entry barriers. Requirements seem simply to be: - - + You can use Text mode or, pretty much, any derivative of it - + You have some motivation to become slightly better organized. - - Therefore, try and write the documentation so that it is relevant - to, and can be read by such a diverse audience. - -# Local variables: -# mode: org -# ispell-local-dictionary: "en_US-w_accents" -# ispell-local-pdict: "./.aspell.org.pws" -# End: diff --git a/elpa/org-9.5.2/doc/Makefile b/elpa/org-9.5.2/doc/Makefile deleted file mode 100644 index cb6d72b..0000000 --- a/elpa/org-9.5.2/doc/Makefile +++ /dev/null @@ -1,102 +0,0 @@ -.SUFFIXES: # we don't need default suffix rules -ifeq ($(MAKELEVEL), 0) - $(error This make needs to be started as a sub-make from the toplevel directory.) -endif -.PHONY: all info html pdf card manual guide install \ - clean cleanall clean-install - -all: $(ORG_MAKE_DOC) - -info: org orgguide - -html: org.html orgguide.html - -pdf: org.pdf orgguide.pdf - -card: orgcard.pdf orgcard_letter.pdf orgguide.pdf - -ifneq ($(SERVERMK),) -manual guide:: - -$(RMR) $@ - $(MKDIR) $@ -manual:: org.texi org-version.inc - $(TEXI2HTML) -o $@ $< - ../mk/mansplit.pl $@/* -guide:: orgguide.texi org-version.inc - $(TEXI2HTML) -o $@ $< - ../mk/guidesplit.pl $@/* -endif - -org.texi: org-manual.org - $(BATCH) \ - --eval '(add-to-list `load-path "../lisp")' \ - --eval '(load "../mk/org-fixup.el")' \ - --eval '(org-make-manual)' - -orgguide.texi: org-guide.org - $(BATCH) \ - --eval '(add-to-list `load-path "../lisp")' \ - --eval '(load "../mk/org-fixup.el")' \ - --eval '(org-make-guide)' - -org-version.inc: org.texi - @echo "org-version: $(ORGVERSION) ($(GITVERSION))" - @echo "@c automatically generated, do not edit" > org-version.inc - @echo "@set VERSION $(ORGVERSION) ($(GITVERSION))" >> org-version.inc - @echo "@set DATE $(DATE)" >> org-version.inc - -org-version.tex: orgcard.tex - @printf "org-version: $(ORGVERSION) ($(GITVERSION))\n" - @printf "%% automatically generated, do not edit\n" > org-version.tex - @printf "\def\orgversionnumber{$(ORGVERSION)}\n" >> org-version.tex - @printf "\def\\\\versionyear{$(YEAR)}\n" >> org-version.tex - @printf "\def\year{$(YEAR)}\n" >> org-version.tex - -install: org orgguide - if [ ! -d $(DESTDIR)$(infodir) ]; then $(MKDIR) $(DESTDIR)$(infodir); else true; fi ; - $(CP) org.info $(DESTDIR)$(infodir) - $(CP) orgguide.info $(DESTDIR)$(infodir) - $(INSTALL_INFO) --infodir=$(DESTDIR)$(infodir) org.info - $(INSTALL_INFO) --infodir=$(DESTDIR)$(infodir) orgguide.info - -clean: - $(RM) *.pdf *.html *.info *_letter.tex org-version.inc org-version.tex \ - *.aux *.cp *.cps *.dvi *.fn *.fns *.ky *.kys *.pg *.pgs *.toc \ - *.tp *.tps *.vr *.vrs *.log *.ps -cleanall: clean - $(RM) org.texi orgguide.texi - $(RMR) guide manual - -clean-install: - $(RM) $(DESTDIR)$(infodir)/org* - $(INSTALL_INFO) --infodir=$(DESTDIR)$(infodir) --remove org - $(INSTALL_INFO) --infodir=$(DESTDIR)$(infodir) --remove orgguide - -.SUFFIXES: .texi .tex .txt _letter.tex - -%: %.texi org-version.inc - $(MAKEINFO) --no-split $< -o $@.info - -# the following two lines work around a bug in some versions of texi2dvi -%.pdf: LC_ALL=C -%.pdf: LANG=C -%.pdf: %.texi org-version.inc - $(TEXI2PDF) $< -%.pdf: %.tex org-version.tex - PDFLATEX=$(PDFTEX) $(TEXI2PDF) $< - -%.html: %.texi org-version.inc - $(TEXI2HTML) --no-split -o $@ $< -ifneq ($(SERVERMK),) - ../mk/manfull.pl $@ - -%.txt: %.tex - perl ../mk/orgcard2txt.pl $< > $@ -endif - -%_letter.tex: %.tex - $(BATCH) \ - --eval '(add-to-list `load-path "../lisp")' \ - --eval '(load "org-compat.el")' \ - --eval '(load "../mk/org-fixup.el")' \ - --eval '(org-make-letterformat "$(<F)" "$(@F)")' diff --git a/elpa/org-9.5.2/doc/dir b/elpa/org-9.5.2/doc/dir deleted file mode 100644 index 6c75b5d..0000000 --- a/elpa/org-9.5.2/doc/dir +++ /dev/null @@ -1,19 +0,0 @@ -This is the file .../info/dir, which contains the -topmost node of the Info hierarchy, called (dir)Top. -The first time you invoke Info you start off looking at this node. - -File: dir, Node: Top This is the top of the INFO tree - - This (the Directory node) gives a menu of major topics. - Typing "q" exits, "?" lists all Info commands, "d" returns here, - "h" gives a primer for first-timers, - "mEmacs<Return>" visits the Emacs manual, etc. - - In Emacs, you can click mouse button 2 on a menu item or cross reference - to select it. - -* Menu: - -Emacs -* Org Mode: (org).

But this License is not limited to - software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless - of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We - recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is - instruction or reference. - -1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS - - This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, - that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can - be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice - grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, - to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The - "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member - of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept - the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way - requiring permission under copyright law. - - A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the - Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with - modifications and/or translated into another language. - - A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section - of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the - publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall - subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could - fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document - is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not - explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of - historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or - of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position - regarding them. - - The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose - titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the - notice that says that the Document is released under this License. - If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it - is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may - contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify - any Invariant Sections then there are none. - - The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are - listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice - that says that the Document is released under this License. - A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text - may be at most 25 words. - - A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, - represented in a format whose specification is available to the - general public, that is suitable for revising the document - straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed - of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely - available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text - formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats - suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise - Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has - been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by - readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if - used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not - "Transparent" is called "Opaque". - - Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain - ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, - SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming - simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. - Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. - Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and - edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which - the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and - the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word - processors for output purposes only. - - The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, - plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the - material this License requires to appear in the title page. For - works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title - Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the - work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text. - - The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies - of the Document to the public. - - A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document - whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses - following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ - stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as - "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) - To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the - Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according - to this definition. - - The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice - which states that this License applies to the Document. These - Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in - this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other - implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and - has no effect on the meaning of this License. - -2. VERBATIM COPYING - - You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either - commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the - copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License - applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you - add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You - may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading - or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, - you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you - distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the - conditions in section 3. - - You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, - and you may publicly display copies. - -3. COPYING IN QUANTITY - - If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly - have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and - the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must - enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all - these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and - Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly - and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The - front cover must present the full title with all words of the title - equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the - covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as - long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these - conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects. - - If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit - legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit - reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto - adjacent pages. - - If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document - numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable - Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with - each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general - network-using public has access to download using public-standard - network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free - of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take - reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque - copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will - remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one - year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or - through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public. - - It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of - the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, - to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the - Document. - -4. MODIFICATIONS - - You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document - under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you - release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the - Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing - distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever - possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in - the Modified Version: - - #+attr_texinfo: :enum A - 1. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title - distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous - versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the - History section of the Document). You may use the same title as - a previous version if the original publisher of that version - gives permission. - - 2. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or - entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the - Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal - authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has - fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement. - - 3. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the - Modified Version, as the publisher. - - 4. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. - - 5. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications - adjacent to the other copyright notices. - - 6. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license - notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version - under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the - Addendum below. - - 7. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant - Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's - license notice. - - 8. Include an unaltered copy of this License. - - 9. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and - add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, - and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title - Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, - create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of - the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item - describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous - sentence. - - 10. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document - for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and - likewise the network locations given in the Document for - previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the - "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work - that was published at least four years before the Document - itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers - to gives permission. - - 11. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", - Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section - all the substance and tone of each of the contributor - acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein. - - 12. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered - in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the - equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. - - 13. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may - not be included in the Modified Version. - - 14. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled - "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant - Section. - - 15. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. - - If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or - appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material - copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all - of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the - list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. - These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. - - You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains - nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various - parties---for example, statements of peer review or that the text has - been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a - standard. - - You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a - passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list - of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of - Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or - through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already - includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or - by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, - you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit - permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. - - The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License - give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or - imply endorsement of any Modified Version. - -5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS - - You may combine the Document with other documents released under - this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for - modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all - of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, - unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your - combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all - their Warranty Disclaimers. - - The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and - multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single - copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name - but different contents, make the title of each such section unique - by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the - original author or publisher of that section if known, or else - a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in - the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the - combined work. - - In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled - "History" in the various original documents, forming one section - Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled - "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You - must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements." - -6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS - - You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other - documents released under this License, and replace the individual - copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy - that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the - rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents - in all other respects. - - You may extract a single document from such a collection, and - distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert - a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this - License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that - document. - -7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS - - A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other - separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of - a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the - copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the - legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual - works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this - License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which - are not themselves derivative works of the Document. - - If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these - copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half - of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed - on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the - electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic - form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket - the whole aggregate. - -8. TRANSLATION - - Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may - distribute translations of the Document under the terms of - section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires - special permission from their copyright holders, but you may - include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition - to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may - include a translation of this License, and all the license notices - in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you - also include the original English version of this License and the - original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of - a disagreement between the translation and the original version of - this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will - prevail. - - If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", - "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to - Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the - actual title. - -9. TERMINATION - - You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document - except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt - otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, - and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. - - However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your - license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) - provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and - finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the - copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some - reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation. - - Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is - reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the - violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have - received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from - that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days - after your receipt of the notice. - - Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate - the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you - under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not - permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the - same material does not give you any rights to use it. - -10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE - - The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of - the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new - versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may - differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See - https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/. - - Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version - number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered - version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you - have the option of following the terms and conditions either of - that specified version or of any later version that has been - published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If - the Document does not specify a version number of this License, - you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the - Free Software Foundation. If the Document specifies that a proxy - can decide which future versions of this License can be used, that - proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently - authorizes you to choose that version for the Document. - -11.

Outlines allow a document to be organized in -a hierarchical structure, which, least for me, is the best -representation of notes and thoughts. An overview of this structure -is achieved by folding, i.e., hiding large parts of the document to -show only the general document structure and the parts currently being -worked on. Org greatly simplifies the use of outlines by compressing -the entire show and hide functionalities into a single command, -~org-cycle~, which is bound to the {{{kbd(TAB)}}} key. - -** Headlines -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: How to typeset Org tree nodes. -:END: - -Headlines define the structure of an outline tree. The headlines in -Org start on the left margin[fn:1] with one or more stars followed by -a space. For example: - -#+begin_example -,* Top level headline -,** Second level -,*** Third level - some text -,*** Third level - more text -,* Another top level headline -#+end_example - -Note that a headline named after ~org-footnote-section~, which -defaults to =Footnotes=, is considered as special. A subtree with -this headline will be silently ignored by exporting functions. - -Some people find the many stars too noisy and would prefer an outline -that has whitespace followed by a single star as headline starters. -See [[*Miscellaneous]] for a setup to realize this. - -** Visibility Cycling -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: Show and hide, much simplified. -:END: - -Outlines make it possible to hide parts of the text in the buffer. -Org uses just two commands, bound to {{{kbd(TAB)}}} and -{{{kbd{S-TAB)}}} to change the visibility in the buffer. - -#+attr_texinfo: :sep , -- {{{kbd(TAB)}}} :: - - /Subtree cycling/: Rotate current subtree among the states - - : ,-> FOLDED -> CHILDREN -> SUBTREE --. - : '-----------------------------------' - - When called with a prefix argument ({{{kbd(C-u TAB)}}}), or with the - Shift key, global cycling is invoked. - -- {{{kbd(S-TAB)}}}, {{{kbd(C-u TAB)}}} :: - - /Global cycling/: Rotate the entire buffer among the states - - : ,-> OVERVIEW -> CONTENTS -> SHOW ALL --. - : '--------------------------------------' - -- {{{kbd(C-u C-u C-u TAB)}}} :: - - Show all, including drawers. - -When Emacs first visits an Org file, the global state is set to -OVERVIEW, i.e., only the top level headlines are visible.

If point is in - a plain list item, a new item is created (see [[Plain Lists]]). When - this command is used in the middle of a line, the line is split and - the rest of the line becomes the new headline[fn:2]. - -- {{{kbd(M-S-RET)}}} :: - - Insert new TODO entry with same level as current heading. - -- {{{kbd(TAB)}}} in new, empty entry :: - - In a new entry with no text yet, {{{kbd(TAB)}}} cycles through - reasonable levels. - -- {{{kbd(M-LEFT)}}}, {{{kbd(M-RIGHT)}}} :: - - Promote or demote current heading by one level. - -- {{{kbd(M-UP)}}}, {{{kbd(M-DOWN)}}} :: - - Move subtree up or down, i.e., swap with previous or next subtree of - same level. - -- {{{kbd(C-c C-w)}}} :: - - Refile entry or region to a different location. See [[*Refile and - Copy]]. - -- {{{kbd(C-x n s)}}}, {{{kbd(C-x n w)}}} :: - - Narrow buffer to current subtree and widen it again. - -When there is an active region (Transient Mark mode), promotion and -demotion work on all headlines in the region. - -** Sparse Trees -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: Matches embedded in context. -:END: - -An important feature of Org mode is the ability to construct /sparse -trees/ for selected information in an outline tree, so that the entire -document is folded as much as possible, but the selected information -is made visible along with the headline structure above it[fn:3]. -Just try it out and you will see immediately how it works. - -Org mode contains several commands creating such trees, all these -commands can be accessed through a dispatcher: - -- {{{kbd(C-c /)}}} :: - - This prompts for an extra key to select a sparse-tree creating - command. - -- {{{kbd(C-c / r)}}} :: - - Occur. Prompts for a regexp and shows a sparse tree with all - matches. Each match is also highlighted; the highlights disappear - by pressing {{{kbd(C-c C-c)}}}. - - The other sparse tree commands select headings based on TODO - keywords, tags, or properties and will be discussed later in this - manual. - -** Plain Lists -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: Additional structure within an entry. -:END: - -Within an entry of the outline tree, hand-formatted lists can provide -additional structure. They also provide a way to create lists of -checkboxes (see [[*Checkboxes]]). Org supports editing such lists, and -every exporter (see [[*Exporting]]) can parse and format them. - -Org knows ordered lists, unordered lists, and description lists. - -#+attr_texinfo: :indic @bullet -- /Unordered/ list items start with =-=, =+=, or =*= as bullets. - -- /Ordered/ list items start with =1.=, or =1)=. - -- /Description/ list use =::= to separate the /term/ from the - description. - -Items belonging to the same list must have the same indentation on the -first line.

If the list is ordered, renumbering is - automatic. - -- {{{kbd(M-LEFT)}}}, {{{kbd(M-RIGHT)}}} :: - - Decrease/increase the indentation of an item, leaving children - alone. - -- {{{kbd(M-S-LEFT)}}}, {{{kbd(M-S-RIGHT)}}} :: - - Decrease/increase the indentation of the item, including subitems. - -- {{{kbd(C-c C-c)}}} :: - - If there is a checkbox (see [[*Checkboxes]]) in the item line, toggle - the state of the checkbox. Also verify bullets and indentation - consistency in the whole list. - -- {{{kbd(C-c -)}}} :: - - Cycle the entire list level through the different itemize/enumerate - bullets (=-=, =+=, =*=, =1.=, =1)=). - -* Tables -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: Pure magic for quick formatting. -:END: - -Org comes with a fast and intuitive table editor. Spreadsheet-like -calculations are supported in connection with the Emacs Calc package -(see [[info:calc][GNU Emacs Calculator Manual]]). - -Org makes it easy to format tables in plain ASCII. Any line with =|= -as the first non-whitespace character is considered part of a table. -=|= is also the column separator. A table might look like this: - -#+begin_example -| Name | Phone | Age | -|-------+-------+-----| -| Peter | 1234 | 17 | -| Anna | 4321 | 25 | -#+end_example - -A table is re-aligned automatically each time you press {{{kbd(TAB)}}} -or {{{kbd(RET)}}} or {{{kbd(C-c C-c)}}} inside the table. -{{{kbd(TAB)}}} also moves to the next field ({{{kbd(RET)}}} to the -next row) and creates new table rows at the end of the table or before -horizontal lines. The indentation of the table is set by the first -line. Any line starting with =|-= is considered as a horizontal -separator line and will be expanded on the next re-align to span the -whole table width. So, to create the above table, you would only type - -: |Name|Phone|Age| -: |- - -#+texinfo: @noindent -and then press {{{kbd(TAB)}}} to align the table and start filling in -fields. Even faster would be to type =|Name|Phone|Age= followed by -{{{kbd(C-c RET)}}}. - -When typing text into a field, Org treats {{{kbd(DEL)}}}, -{{{kbd(Backspace)}}}, and all character keys in a special way, so that -inserting and deleting avoids shifting other fields. Also, when -typing /immediately after point was moved into a new field with -{{{kbd(TAB)}}}, {{{kbd(S-TAB)}}} or {{{kbd(RET)}}}/, the field is -automatically made blank. - -** Creation and conversion -:PROPERTIES: -:UNNUMBERED: notoc -:END: - -- {{{kbd(C-c |)}}} :: - - Convert the active region to table. If every line contains at least - one {{{kbd(TAB)}}} character, the function assumes that the material - is tab separated. If every line contains a comma, comma-separated - values (CSV) are assumed. If not, lines are split at whitespace - into fields. - - If there is no active region, this command creates an empty Org - table.

Because of its importance, we suggest to bind it -to a widely available key (see [[*Activation]]). It stores a link to the -current location. The link is stored for later insertion into an Org -buffer---see below. - -From an Org buffer, the following commands create, navigate or, more -generally, act on links. - -#+attr_texinfo: :sep , -- {{{kbd(C-c C-l)}}} :: - - Insert a link. This prompts for a link to be inserted into the - buffer. You can just type a link, or use history keys {{{kbd(UP)}}} - and {{{kbd(DOWN)}}} to access stored links. You will be prompted - for the description part of the link. - - When called with a {{{kbd(C-u)}}} prefix argument, file name - completion is used to link to a file. - -- {{{kbd(C-c C-l)}}} (with point on existing link) :: - - When point is on an existing link, {{{kbd(C-c C-l)}}} allows you to - edit the link and description parts of the link. - -- {{{kbd(C-c C-o)}}} :: - - Open link at point. - -- {{{kbd(C-c &)}}} :: - - Jump back to a recorded position. A position is recorded by the - commands following internal links, and by {{{kbd(C-c %)}}}. Using - this command several times in direct succession moves through a ring - of previously recorded positions. - -* TODO Items -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: Every tree branch can be a TODO item. -:END: - -Org mode does not require TODO lists to live in separate documents. -Instead, TODO items are part of a notes file, because TODO items -usually come up while taking notes! With Org mode, simply mark any -entry in a tree as being a TODO item. In this way, information is not -duplicated, and TODO items remain in the context from which they -emerged. - -Org mode provides methods to give you an overview of all the things -that you have to do, collected from many files. - -** Basic TODO Functionality -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: Marking and displaying TODO entries. -:ALT_TITLE: TODO Basics -:END: - -Any headline becomes a TODO item when it starts with the word =TODO=, -for example: - -: *** TODO Write letter to Sam Fortune - -The most important commands to work with TODO entries are: - -#+attr_texinfo: :sep , -- {{{kbd(C-c C-t)}}} :: - - Rotate the TODO state of the current item among - - : ,-> (unmarked) -> TODO -> DONE --. - : '--------------------------------' - - The same rotation can also be done "remotely" from the agenda buffer - with the {{{kbd(t)}}} command key (see [[*Commands in the Agenda - Buffer]]). - -- {{{kbd(S-RIGHT)}}}, {{{kbd(S-LEFT)}}} :: - - Select the following/preceding TODO state, similar to cycling. - -- {{{kbd(C-c / t)}}} :: - - View TODO items in a /sparse tree/ (see [[*Sparse Trees]]).

This system is highly configurable, -settings can be on a per-keyword basis and can be localized to a file -or even a subtree. For information on how to clock working time for a -task, see [[*Clocking Work Time]]. - -*** Closing items -:PROPERTIES: -:UNNUMBERED: notoc -:END: - -The most basic logging is to keep track of /when/ a certain TODO item -was marked as done.

When -taking a lot of notes, you might want to get the notes out of the way -into a drawer. Customize the variable ~org-log-into-drawer~ to get -this behavior. - -For state logging, Org mode expects configuration on a per-keyword -basis. This is achieved by adding special markers =!= (for -a timestamp) and =@= (for a note) in parentheses after each keyword. -For example: - -: #+TODO: TODO(t) WAIT(w@/!) | DONE(d!) CANCELED(c@) - -#+texinfo: @noindent -defines TODO keywords and fast access keys, and also request that -a time is recorded when the entry is set to =DONE=, and that a note is -recorded when switching to =WAIT= or =CANCELED=. The same syntax -works also when setting ~org-todo-keywords~. - -** Priorities -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: Some things are more important than others. -:END: - -If you use Org mode extensively, you may end up with enough TODO items -that it starts to make sense to prioritize them. Prioritizing can be -done by placing a /priority cookie/ into the headline of a TODO item, -like this - -: *** TODO [#A] Write letter to Sam Fortune - -Org mode supports three priorities: =A=, =B=, and =C=. =A= is the -highest, =B= the default if none is given. Priorities make -a difference only in the agenda. - -#+attr_texinfo: :sep ; -- {{{kbd(C-c \,)}}} :: - - Set the priority of the current headline. Press {{{kbd(A)}}}, - {{{kbd(B)}}} or {{{kbd(C)}}} to select a priority, or {{{kbd(SPC)}}} - to remove the cookie. - -- {{{kbd(S-UP)}}} (~org-priority-up~); {{{kbd(S-DOWN)}}} (~org-priority-down~) :: - - Increase/decrease the priority of the current headline. - -** Breaking Tasks Down into Subtasks -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: Splitting a task into manageable pieces. -:ALT_TITLE: Breaking Down Tasks -:END: - -It is often advisable to break down large tasks into smaller, -manageable subtasks. You can do this by creating an outline tree -below a TODO item, with detailed subtasks on the tree. To keep an -overview of the fraction of subtasks that have already been marked -as done, insert either =[/]= or =[%]= anywhere in the headline. These -cookies are updated each time the TODO status of a child changes, or -when pressing {{{kbd(C-c C-c)}}} on the cookie. For example: - -#+begin_example -,* Organize Party [33%] -,** TODO Call people [1/2] -,*** TODO Peter -,*** DONE Sarah -,** TODO Buy food -,** DONE Talk to neighbor -#+end_example - -** Checkboxes -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: Tick-off lists. -:END: - -Every item in a plain list (see [[*Plain Lists]]) can be made into -a checkbox by starting it with the string =[ ]=. Checkboxes are not -included into the global TODO list, so they are often great to split -a task into a number of simple steps. - -Here is an example of a checkbox list. - -#+begin_example -,* TODO Organize party [2/4] - - [-] call people [1/2] - - [ ] Peter - - [X] Sarah - - [X] order food -#+end_example - -Checkboxes work hierarchically, so if a checkbox item has children -that are checkboxes, toggling one of the children checkboxes makes the -parent checkbox reflect if none, some, or all of the children are -checked. - -The following commands work with checkboxes: - -- {{{kbd(C-c C-c)}}} :: - - Toggle checkbox status or---with prefix argument---checkbox presence - at point. - -- {{{kbd(M-S-RET)}}} :: - - Insert a new item with a checkbox. This works only if point is - already in a plain list item (see [[*Plain Lists]]). - -* Tags -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: Tagging headlines and matching sets of tags. -:END: - -An excellent way to implement labels and contexts for -cross-correlating information is to assign /tags/ to headlines. Org -mode has extensive support for tags. - -Every headline can contain a list of tags; they occur at the end of -the headline. Tags are normal words containing letters, numbers, =_=, -and =@=. Tags must be preceded and followed by a single colon, e.g., -=:work:=. Several tags can be specified, as in =:work:urgent:=. Tags -by default are in bold face with the same color as the headline. - -** Tag inheritance -:PROPERTIES: -:UNNUMBERED: notoc -:END: - -Tags make use of the hierarchical structure of outline trees. If -a heading has a certain tag, all subheadings inherit the tag as well. -For example, in the list - -#+begin_example -,* Meeting with the French group :work: -,** Summary by Frank :boss:notes: -,*** TODO Prepare slides for him :action: -#+end_example - -#+texinfo: @noindent -the final heading has the tags =work=, =boss=, =notes=, and =action= -even though the final heading is not explicitly marked with those -tags. - -You can also set tags that all entries in a file should inherit just -as if these tags were defined in a hypothetical level zero that -surrounds the entire file. Use a line like this[fn:6]: - -: #+FILETAGS: :Peter:Boss:Secret: - -** Setting tags -:PROPERTIES: -:UNNUMBERED: notoc -:END: - -Tags can simply be typed into the buffer at the end of a headline. -After a colon, {{{kbd(M-TAB)}}} offers completion on tags. There is -also a special command for inserting tags: - -- {{{kbd(C-c C-q)}}} :: - - Enter new tags for the current headline. Org mode either offers - completion or a special single-key interface for setting tags, see - below. - -- {{{kbd(C-c C-c)}}} :: - - When point is in a headline, this does the same as {{{kbd(C-c - C-q)}}}. - -Org supports tag insertion based on a /list of tags/. By default this -list is constructed dynamically, containing all tags currently used in -the buffer. You may also globally specify a hard list of tags with -the variable ~org-tag-alist~. Finally you can set the default tags -for a given file using the =TAGS= keyword, like - -: #+TAGS: @work @home @tennisclub -: #+TAGS: laptop car pc sailboat - -By default Org mode uses the standard minibuffer completion facilities -for entering tags. However, it also implements another, quicker, tag -selection method called /fast tag selection/. This allows you to -select and deselect tags with just a single key press. For this to -work well you should assign unique letters to most of your commonly -used tags. You can do this globally by configuring the variable -~org-tag-alist~ in your Emacs init file. For example, you may find -the need to tag many items in different files with =@home=. In this -case you can set something like: - -#+begin_src emacs-lisp -(setq org-tag-alist '(("@work" . ?w) ("@home" . ?h) ("laptop" . ?l))) -#+end_src - -If the tag is only relevant to the file you are working on, then you -can instead set the =TAGS= keyword as: - -: #+TAGS: @work(w) @home(h) @tennisclub(t) laptop(l) pc(p) - -** Tag groups -:PROPERTIES: -:UNNUMBERED: notoc -:END: - -A tag can be defined as a /group tag/ for a set of other tags. The -group tag can be seen as the "broader term" for its set of tags. - -You can set group tags by using brackets and inserting a colon between -the group tag and its related tags: - -: #+TAGS: [ GTD : Control Persp ] - -#+texinfo: @noindent -or, if tags in the group should be mutually exclusive: - -: #+TAGS: { Context : @Home @Work } - -When you search for a group tag, it return matches for all members in -the group and its subgroups. In an agenda view, filtering by a group -tag displays or hide headlines tagged with at least one of the members -of the group or any of its subgroups. - -If you want to ignore group tags temporarily, toggle group tags -support with ~org-toggle-tags-groups~, bound to {{{kbd(C-c C-x q)}}}. - -** Tag searches -:PROPERTIES: -:UNNUMBERED: notoc -:END: - -- {{{kbd(C-c / m)}}} or {{{kbd(C-c \)}}} :: - - Create a sparse tree with all headlines matching a tags search. - With a {{{kbd(C-u)}}} prefix argument, ignore headlines that are not - a TODO line. - -- {{{kbd(M-x org-agenda m)}}} :: - - Create a global list of tag matches from all agenda files. See - [[*Matching Tags and Properties]]. - -- {{{kbd(M-x org-agenda M)}}} :: - - Create a global list of tag matches from all agenda files, but check - only TODO items and force checking subitems (see the option - ~org-tags-match-list-sublevels~). - -These commands all prompt for a match string which allows basic -Boolean logic like =+boss+urgent-project1=, to find entries with tags -=boss= and =urgent=, but not =project1=, or =Kathy|Sally= to find -entries which are tagged, like =Kathy= or =Sally=. The full syntax of -the search string is rich and allows also matching against TODO -keywords, entry levels and properties. For a more detailed description -with many examples, see [[*Matching Tags and Properties]]. - -* Properties -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: Storing information about an entry. -:END: - -Properties are key-value pairs associated with an entry.

This special property is /inherited/, -so if you set it in a level 1 entry, it applies to the entire tree. -When allowed values are defined, setting the corresponding property -becomes easier and is less prone to typing errors. For the example -with the CD collection, we can pre-define publishers and the number of -disks in a box like this: - -#+begin_example -,* CD collection - :PROPERTIES: - :NDisks_ALL: 1 2 3 4 - :Publisher_ALL: "Deutsche Grammophon" Philips EMI - :END: -#+end_example - -If you want to set properties that can be inherited by any entry in -a file, use a line like: - -: #+PROPERTY: NDisks_ALL 1 2 3 4 - -The following commands help to work with properties: - -- {{{kbd(C-c C-x p)}}} :: - - Set a property. This prompts for a property name and a value. - -- {{{kbd(C-c C-c d)}}} :: - - Remove a property from the current entry. - -To create sparse trees and special lists with selection based on -properties, the same commands are used as for tag searches (see -[[*Tags]]). The syntax for the search string is described in [[*Matching -Tags and Properties]]. - -* Dates and Times -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: Making items useful for planning. -:END: - -To assist project planning, TODO items can be labeled with a date -and/or a time. The specially formatted string carrying the date and -time information is called a /timestamp/ in Org mode. - -** Timestamps -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: Assigning a time to a tree entry. -:END: - -A timestamp is a specification of a date---possibly with a time or -a range of times---in a special format, either =<2003-09-16 Tue>= or -=<2003-09-16 Tue 09:39>= or =<2003-09-16 Tue 12:00-12:30>=. -A timestamp can appear anywhere in the headline or body of an Org tree -entry. Its presence causes entries to be shown on specific dates in -the agenda (see [[*The Weekly/daily Agenda]]). We distinguish: - -- Plain timestamp; Event; Appointment :: - - A simple timestamp just assigns a date/time to an item. This is - just like writing down an appointment or event in a paper agenda. - - #+begin_example - ,* Meet Peter at the movies - <2006-11-01 Wed 19:15> - ,* Discussion on climate change - <2006-11-02 Thu 20:00-22:00> - #+end_example - -- Timestamp with repeater interval :: - - A timestamp may contain a /repeater interval/, indicating that it - applies not only on the given date, but again and again after - a certain interval of N days (d), weeks (w), months (m), or years - (y). The following shows up in the agenda every Wednesday: - - #+begin_example - ,* Pick up Sam at school - <2007-05-16 Wed 12:30 +1w> - #+end_example - -- Diary-style expression entries :: - - #+cindex: diary style timestamps - #+cindex: sexp timestamps - For more complex date specifications, Org mode supports using the - special expression diary entries implemented in the Emacs Calendar - package. For example, with optional time: - - #+begin_example - ,* 22:00-23:00 The nerd meeting on every 2nd Thursday of the month - <%%(diary-float t 4 2)> - #+end_example - -- Time/Date range :: - - Two timestamps connected by =--= denote a range. - - #+begin_example - ,** Meeting in Amsterdam - <2004-08-23 Mon>--<2004-08-26 Thu> - #+end_example - -- Inactive timestamp :: - - Just like a plain timestamp, but with square brackets instead of - angular ones.

All commands listed below produce timestamps in the correct -format. - -#+attr_texinfo: :sep , -- {{{kbd(C-c .)}}} :: - - Prompt for a date and insert a corresponding timestamp. When point - is at an existing timestamp in the buffer, the command is used to - modify this timestamp instead of inserting a new one. When this - command is used twice in succession, a time range is inserted. With - a prefix argument, it also adds the current time. - -- {{{kbd(C-c !)}}} :: - - Like {{{kbd(C-c .)}}}, but insert an inactive timestamp that does - not cause an agenda entry. - -- {{{kbd(S-LEFT)}}}, {{{kbd(S-RIGHT)}}} :: - - Change date at point by one day. - -- {{{kbd(S-UP)}}}, {{{kbd(S-DOWN)}}} :: - - On the beginning or enclosing bracket of a timestamp, change its - type. Within a timestamp, change the item under point. Point can - be on a year, month, day, hour or minute. When the timestamp - contains a time range like =15:30-16:30=, modifying the first time - also shifts the second, shifting the time block with constant - length. To change the length, modify the second time. - - -When Org mode prompts for a date/time, it accepts any string -containing some date and/or time information, and intelligently -interprets the string, deriving defaults for unspecified information -from the current date and time. You can also select a date in the -pop-up calendar. See the manual for more information on how exactly -the date/time prompt works. - -** Deadlines and Scheduling -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: Planning your work. -:END: - -A timestamp may be preceded by special keywords to facilitate -planning: - -- {{{kbd(C-c C-d)}}} :: - - Insert =DEADLINE= keyword along with a time stamp, in the line - following the headline. - - Meaning: the task---most likely a TODO item, though not - necessarily---is supposed to be finished on that date. - - On the deadline date, the task is listed in the agenda. In - addition, the agenda for /today/ carries a warning about the - approaching or missed deadline, starting ~org-deadline-warning-days~ - before the due date, and continuing until the entry is marked as - done. An example: - - #+begin_example - ,*** TODO write article about the Earth for the Guide - DEADLINE: <2004-02-29 Sun> - The editor in charge is [[bbdb:Ford Prefect]] - #+end_example - -- {{{kbd(C-c C-s)}}} :: - - Insert =SCHEDULED= keyword along with a stamp, in the line following - the headline. - - Meaning: you are planning to start working on that task on the given - date[fn:7]. - - The headline is listed under the given date[fn:8].

To simplify this process, you can use the following -special command: - -- {{{kbd(C-c C-w)}}} :: - - Refile the entry or region at point. This command offers possible - locations for refiling the entry and lets you select one with - completion. The item (or all items in the region) is filed below - the target heading as a subitem. - - By default, all level 1 headlines in the current buffer are - considered to be targets, but you can have more complex definitions - across a number of files.

It -also is an authoring system with unique support for literate -programming and reproducible research. - -Org is implemented on top of Outline mode, which makes it possible to -keep the content of large files well structured. Visibility cycling -and structure editing help to work with the tree. Tables are easily -created with a built-in table editor. Plain text URL-like links -connect to websites, emails, Usenet messages, BBDB entries, and any -files related to the projects. - -Org develops organizational tasks around notes files that contain -lists or information about projects as plain text. Project planning -and task management make use of metadata which is part of an outline -node. Based on this data, specific entries can be extracted in -queries and create dynamic /agenda views/ that also integrate the -Emacs calendar and diary. Org can be used to implement many different -project planning schemes, such as David Allen's GTD system. - -Org files can serve as a single source authoring system with export to -many different formats such as HTML, LaTeX, Open Document, and -Markdown. New export backends can be derived from existing ones, or -defined from scratch. - -Org files can include source code blocks, which makes Org uniquely -suited for authoring technical documents with code examples. Org -source code blocks are fully functional; they can be evaluated in -place and their results can be captured in the file. This makes it -possible to create a single file reproducible research compendium. - -Org keeps simple things simple. When first fired up, it should feel -like a straightforward, easy to use outliner. Complexity is not -imposed, but a large amount of functionality is available when needed. -Org is a toolbox. Many users actually run only a---very -personal---fraction of Org's capabilities, and know that there is more -whenever they need it. - -All of this is achieved with strictly plain text files, the most -portable and future-proof file format.

The best way to report this is by -providing, in addition to what was mentioned above, a backtrace. This -is information from the built-in debugger about where and how the -error occurred. Here is how to produce a useful backtrace: - -1. Reload uncompiled versions of all Org mode Lisp files. The - backtrace contains much more information if it is produced with - uncompiled code. To do this, use - - : C-u M-x org-reload <RET> - - #+texinfo: @noindent - or, from the menu: Org \rarr Refresh/Reload \rarr Reload Org uncompiled. - -2. Then, activate the debugger: - - : M-x toggle-debug-on-error <RET> - - #+texinfo: @noindent - or, from the menu: Options \rarr Enter Debugger on Error. - -3. Do whatever you have to do to hit the error. Do not forget to - document the steps you take. - -4. When you hit the error, a =*Backtrace*= buffer appears on the - screen.

Calc is also a symbolic - calculator and is capable of working with values having a unit, - represented with numerals followed by a unit string in Org table - cells. This mode instructs Calc to simplify the units in the - computed expression before returning the result. - -- =T=, =t=, =U= :: - - Duration computations in Calc or Lisp, [[*Durations and time values]]. - -- =E= :: - - If and how to consider empty fields. Without =E= empty fields in - range references are suppressed so that the Calc vector or Lisp list - contains only the non-empty fields. With =E= the empty fields are - kept. For empty fields in ranges or empty field references the - value =nan= (not a number) is used in Calc formulas and the empty - string is used for Lisp formulas. Add =N= to use 0 instead for both - formula types. For the value of a field the mode =N= has higher - precedence than =E=. - -- =N= :: - - Interpret all fields as numbers, use 0 for non-numbers. See the - next section to see how this is essential for computations with Lisp - formulas. In Calc formulas it is used only occasionally because - there number strings are already interpreted as numbers without =N=. - -- =L= :: - - Literal, for Lisp formulas only. See the next section. - -Unless you use large integer numbers or high-precision calculation and -display for floating point numbers you may alternatively provide -a ~printf~ format specifier to reformat the Calc result after it has -been passed back to Org instead of letting Calc already do the -formatting[fn:21]. A few examples: - -| =$1+$2= | Sum of first and second field | -| =$1+$2;%.2f= | Same, format result to two decimals | -| =exp($2)+exp($1)= | Math functions can be used | -| =$0;%.1f= | Reformat current cell to 1 decimal | -| =($3-32)*5/9= | Degrees F \to C conversion | -| =$c/$1/$cm= | Hz \to cm conversion, using =constants.el= | -| =tan($1);Dp3s1= | Compute in degrees, precision 3, display SCI 1 | -| =sin($1);Dp3%.1e= | Same, but use ~printf~ specifier for display | -| =vmean($2..$7)= | Compute column range mean, using vector function | -| =vmean($2..$7);EN= | Same, but treat empty fields as 0 | -| =taylor($3,x=7,2)= | Taylor series of $3, at x=7, second degree | - -Calc also contains a complete set of logical operations (see [[info:calc#Logical Operations][Logical -Operations]]). For example - -- =if($1 < 20, teen, string(""))= :: - - ="teen"= if age =$1= is less than 20, else the Org table result - field is set to empty with the empty string. - -- =if("$1" =​= "nan" || "$2" =​= "nan", string(""), $1 + $2); E f-1= :: - - Sum of the first two columns. When at least one of the input fields - is empty the Org table result field is set to empty. =E= is - required to not convert empty fields to 0. =f-1= is an optional - Calc format string similar to =%.1f= but leaves empty results empty. - -- =if(typeof(vmean($1..$7)) =​= 12, string(""), vmean($1..$7); E= :: - - Mean value of a range unless there is any empty field. Every field - in the range that is empty is replaced by =nan= which lets =vmean= - result in =nan=. Then =typeof == 12= detects the =nan= from ~vmean~ - and the Org table result field is set to empty. Use this when the - sample set is expected to never have missing values. - -- =if("$1..$7" =​= "[]", string(""), vmean($1..$7))= :: - - Mean value of a range with empty fields skipped. Every field in the - range that is empty is skipped. When all fields in the range are - empty the mean value is not defined and the Org table result field - is set to empty. Use this when the sample set can have a variable - size. - -- =vmean($1..$7); EN= :: - - To complete the example before: Mean value of a range with empty - fields counting as samples with value 0. Use this only when - incomplete sample sets should be padded with 0 to the full size. - -You can add your own Calc functions defined in Emacs Lisp with -~defmath~ and use them in formula syntax for Calc. - -*** Emacs Lisp forms as formulas -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: Writing formulas in Emacs Lisp. -:ALT_TITLE: Formula syntax for Lisp -:END: -#+cindex: Lisp forms, as table formulas - -It is also possible to write a formula in Emacs Lisp. This can be -useful for string manipulation and control structures, if Calc's -functionality is not enough. - -A formula is evaluated as a Lisp form when it starts with a -single-quote followed by an opening parenthesis. Cell table -references are interpolated into the Lisp form before execution. The -evaluation should return either a string or a number. Evaluation -modes and a ~printf~ format used to render the returned values can be -specified after a semicolon. - -By default, references are interpolated as literal Lisp strings: the -field content is replaced in the Lisp form stripped of leading and -trailing white space and surrounded in double-quotes. For example: - -: '(concat $1 $2) - -#+texinfo: @noindent -concatenates the content of columns 1 and column 2. - -When the =N= flag is used, all referenced elements are parsed as -numbers and interpolated as Lisp numbers, without quotes. Fields that -cannot be parsed as numbers are interpolated as zeros. For example: - -: '(+ $1 $2);N - -#+texinfo: @noindent -adds columns 1 and 2, equivalent to Calc's =$1+$2=. Ranges are -inserted as space-separated fields, so they can be embedded in list or -vector syntax. For example: - -: '(apply '+ '($1..$4));N - -#+texinfo: @noindent -computes the sum of columns 1 to 4, like Calc's =vsum($1..$4)=. - -When the =L= flag is used, all fields are interpolated literally: the -cell content is replaced in the Lisp form stripped of leading and -trailing white space and without quotes. If a reference is intended -to be interpreted as a string by the Lisp form, the reference operator -itself should be enclosed in double-quotes, like ="$3"=. The =L= flag -is useful when strings and numbers are used in the same Lisp form. For -example: - -: '(substring "$1" $2 $3);L - -#+texinfo: @noindent -extracts the part of the string in column 1 between the character -positions specified in the integers in column 2 and 3 and it is easier -to read than the equivalent: - -: '(substring $1 (string-to-number $2) (string-to-number $3)) - -*** Durations and time values -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: How to compute durations and time values. -:END: -#+cindex: duration, computing -#+cindex: time, computing -#+vindex: org-table-duration-custom-format - -If you want to compute time values use the =T=, =t=, or =U= flag, -either in Calc formulas or Elisp formulas: - -#+begin_example -| Task 1 | Task 2 | Total | -|---------+----------+----------| -| 2:12 | 1:47 | 03:59:00 | -| 2:12 | 1:47 | 03:59 | -| 3:02:20 | -2:07:00 | 0.92 | -,#+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T::@3$3=$1+$2;U::@4$3=$1+$2;t -#+end_example - -Input duration values must be of the form =HH:MM[:SS]=, where seconds -are optional.

Because of its importance, we suggest to bind it -to a widely available key (see [[*Activation]]). It stores a link to the -current location. The link is stored for later insertion into an Org -buffer---see below. The kind of link that is created depends on the -current buffer: - -- /Org mode buffers/ :: - - For Org files, if there is a =<<target>>= at point, the link points - to the target. Otherwise it points to the current headline, which - is also the description[fn:28]. - - #+vindex: org-id-link-to-org-use-id - #+cindex: @samp{CUSTOM_ID}, property - #+cindex: @samp{ID}, property - If the headline has a =CUSTOM_ID= property, store a link to this - custom ID. In addition or alternatively, depending on the value of - ~org-id-link-to-org-use-id~, create and/or use a globally unique - =ID= property for the link[fn:29]. So using this command in Org - buffers potentially creates two links: a human-readable link from - the custom ID, and one that is globally unique and works even if the - entry is moved from file to file. The =ID= property can be either a - UUID (default) or a timestamp, depending on ~org-id-method~. Later, - when inserting the link, you need to decide which one to use. - -- /Email/News clients: VM, Rmail, Wanderlust, MH-E, Gnus/ :: - - #+vindex: org-link-email-description-format - Pretty much all Emacs mail clients are supported. The link points - to the current article, or, in some Gnus buffers, to the group. The - description is constructed according to the variable - ~org-link-email-description-format~. By default, it refers to the - addressee and the subject. - -- /Web browsers: W3, W3M and EWW/ :: - - Here the link is the current URL, with the page title as the - description. - -- /Contacts: BBDB/ :: - - Links created in a BBDB buffer point to the current entry. - -- /Chat: IRC/ :: - - #+vindex: org-irc-links-to-logs - For IRC links, if the variable ~org-irc-link-to-logs~ is non-~nil~, - create a =file= style link to the relevant point in the logs for the - current conversation. Otherwise store an =irc= style link to the - user/channel/server under the point. - -- /Other files/ :: - - For any other file, the link points to the file, with a search - string (see [[*Search Options in File Links]]) pointing to the contents - of the current line. If there is an active region, the selected - words form the basis of the search string. You can write custom Lisp - functions to select the search string and perform the search for - particular file types (see [[*Custom Searches]]). - - You can also define dedicated links to other files. See [[*Adding - Hyperlink Types]]. - -- /Agenda view/ :: - - When point is in an agenda view, the created link points to the - entry referenced by the current line. - -From an Org buffer, the following commands create, navigate or, more -generally, act on links. - -#+attr_texinfo: :sep , -- {{{kbd(C-c C-l)}}} (~org-insert-link~) :: - - #+kindex: C-c C-l - #+findex: org-insert-link - #+cindex: link completion - #+cindex: completion, of links - #+cindex: inserting links - #+vindex: org-link-keep-stored-after-insertion - Insert a link[fn:30]. This prompts for a link to be inserted into - the buffer. You can just type a link, using text for an internal - link, or one of the link type prefixes mentioned in the examples - above. The link is inserted into the buffer, along with - a descriptive text[fn:31]. If some text was selected at this time, - it becomes the default description. - - - /Inserting stored links/ :: - - All links stored during the current session are part of the - history for this prompt, so you can access them with {{{kbd(UP)}}} - and {{{kbd(DOWN)}}} (or {{{kbd(M-p)}}}, {{{kbd(M-n)}}}). - - - /Completion support/ :: - - Completion with {{{kbd(TAB)}}} helps you to insert valid link - prefixes like =http= or =ftp=, including the prefixes defined - through link abbreviations (see [[*Link Abbreviations]]). If you - press {{{kbd(RET)}}} after inserting only the prefix, Org offers - specific completion support for some link types[fn:32]. For - example, if you type {{{kbd(f i l e RET)}}}---alternative access: - {{{kbd(C-u C-c C-l)}}}, see below---Org offers file name - completion, and after {{{kbd(b b d b RET)}}} you can complete - contact names. - -- {{{kbd(C-u C-c C-l)}}} :: - - #+cindex: file name completion - #+cindex: completion, of file names - #+kindex: C-u C-c C-l - When {{{kbd(C-c C-l)}}} is called with a {{{kbd(C-u)}}} prefix - argument, insert a link to a file. You may use file name completion - to select the name of the file. The path to the file is inserted - relative to the directory of the current Org file, if the linked - file is in the current directory or in a sub-directory of it, or if - the path is written relative to the current directory using =../=. - Otherwise an absolute path is used, if possible with =~/= for your - home directory. You can force an absolute path with two - {{{kbd(C-u)}}} prefixes. - -- {{{kbd(C-c C-l)}}} (with point on existing link) :: - - #+cindex: following links - When point is on an existing link, {{{kbd(C-c C-l)}}} allows you to - edit the link and description parts of the link. - -- {{{kbd(C-c C-o)}}} (~org-open-at-point~) :: - - #+kindex: C-c C-o - #+findex: org-open-at-point - #+vindex: org-file-apps - Open link at point.

When point is on the tags part of a headline, - it creates the corresponding tags view (see [[*Matching tags and - properties]]). If point is on a timestamp, it compiles the agenda for - that date. Furthermore, it visits text and remote files in =file= - links with Emacs and select a suitable application for local - non-text files. Classification of files is based on file extension - only. See option ~org-file-apps~. If you want to override the - default application and visit the file with Emacs, use - a {{{kbd(C-u)}}} prefix.

For example, you might want to indicate that -items are for "work" or "home". Or, when you work with several people -on a single project, you might want to assign action items directly to -persons, by using their names as TODO keywords. This type of -functionality is actually much better served by using tags (see -[[*Tags]]), so the TODO implementation is kept just for backward -compatibility. - -Using TODO types, it would be set up like this: - -#+begin_src emacs-lisp -(setq org-todo-keywords '((type "Fred" "Sara" "Lucy" "|" "DONE"))) -#+end_src - -In this case, different keywords do not indicate states, but -rather different types.

When used several times in succession, it still -cycles through all names, in order to first select the right type for -a task. But when you return to the item after some time and execute -{{{kbd(C-c C-t)}}} again, it will switch from any name directly to -=DONE=. Use prefix arguments or completion to quickly select -a specific name. You can also review the items of a specific TODO -type in a sparse tree by using a numeric prefix to {{{kbd(C-c / t)}}}. -For example, to see all things Lucy has to do, you would use -{{{kbd(C-3 C-c / t)}}}. To collect Lucy's items from all agenda files -into a single buffer, you would use the numeric prefix argument as -well when creating the global TODO list: {{{kbd(C-3 M-x org-agenda -t)}}}. - -*** Multiple keyword sets in one file -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: Mixing it all, still finding your way. -:ALT_TITLE: Multiple sets in one file -:END: -#+cindex: TODO keyword sets - -Sometimes you may want to use different sets of TODO keywords in -parallel. For example, you may want to have the basic TODO/DONE, but -also a workflow for bug fixing, and a separate state indicating that -an item has been canceled---so it is not DONE, but also does not -require action. Your setup would then look like this: - -#+begin_src emacs-lisp -(setq org-todo-keywords - '((sequence "TODO" "|" "DONE") - (sequence "REPORT" "BUG" "KNOWNCAUSE" "|" "FIXED") - (sequence "|" "CANCELED"))) -#+end_src - -The keywords should all be different, this helps Org mode keep track -of which subsequence should be used for a given entry. In this setup, -{{{kbd(C-c C-t)}}} only operates within a sub-sequence, so it switches -from =DONE= to (nothing) to =TODO=, and from =FIXED= to (nothing) to -=REPORT=. Therefore you need a mechanism to initially select the -correct sequence. In addition to typing a keyword or using completion -(see [[*Completion]]), you may also apply the following commands: - -#+attr_texinfo: :sep , -- {{{kbd(C-u C-u C-c C-t)}}}, {{{kbd(C-S-RIGHT)}}}, {{{kbd(C-S-LEFT)}}} :: - - #+kindex: C-S-RIGHT - #+kindex: C-S-LEFT - #+kindex: C-u C-u C-c C-t - These keys jump from one TODO sub-sequence to the next.

First, -properties are like tags, but with a value. Imagine maintaining -a file where you document bugs and plan releases for a piece of -software. Instead of using tags like =release_1=, =release_2=, you -can use a property, say =Release=, that in different subtrees has -different values, such as =1.0= or =2.0=. Second, you can use -properties to implement (very basic) database capabilities in an Org -buffer. Imagine keeping track of your music CDs, where properties -could be things such as the album, artist, date of release, number of -tracks, and so on. - -Properties can be conveniently edited and viewed in column view (see -[[*Column View]]). - -** Property Syntax -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: How properties are spelled out. -:END: -#+cindex: property syntax -#+cindex: drawer, for properties - -Properties are key--value pairs.

You can use yearly, monthly, weekly, daily -and hourly repeat cookies by using the =y=, =m=, =w=, =d= and =h= -letters. If you need both a repeater and a special warning period in -a deadline entry, the repeater should come first and the warning -period last - -: DEADLINE: <2005-10-01 Sat +1m -3d> - -#+vindex: org-todo-repeat-to-state -Deadlines and scheduled items produce entries in the agenda when they -are over-due, so it is important to be able to mark such an entry as -done once you have done so. When you mark a =DEADLINE= or -a =SCHEDULED= with the TODO keyword =DONE=, it no longer produces -entries in the agenda. The problem with this is, however, is that -then also the /next/ instance of the repeated entry will not be -active. Org mode deals with this in the following way: when you try -to mark such an entry as done, using {{{kbd(C-c C-t)}}}, it shifts the -base date of the repeating timestamp by the repeater interval, and -immediately sets the entry state back to TODO[fn:70]. In the example -above, setting the state to =DONE= would actually switch the date like -this: - -#+begin_example -,** TODO Pay the rent - DEADLINE: <2005-11-01 Tue +1m> -#+end_example - -To mark a task with a repeater as DONE, use {{{kbd(C-- 1 C-c C-t)}}}, -i.e., ~org-todo~ with a numeric prefix argument of =-1=. - -#+vindex: org-log-repeat -A timestamp[fn:71] is added under the deadline, to keep a record that -you actually acted on the previous instance of this deadline. - -As a consequence of shifting the base date, this entry is no longer -visible in the agenda when checking past dates, but all future -instances will be visible. - -With the =+1m= cookie, the date shift is always exactly one month. So -if you have not paid the rent for three months, marking this entry -DONE still keeps it as an overdue deadline. Depending on the task, -this may not be the best way to handle it. For example, if you forgot -to call your father for 3 weeks, it does not make sense to call him -3 times in a single day to make up for it. Finally, there are tasks, -like changing batteries, which should always repeat a certain time -/after/ the last time you did it. For these tasks, Org mode has -special repeaters =++= and =.+=. For example: - -#+begin_example -,** TODO Call Father - DEADLINE: <2008-02-10 Sun ++1w> - Marking this DONE shifts the date by at least one week, but also - by as many weeks as it takes to get this date into the future. - However, it stays on a Sunday, even if you called and marked it - done on Saturday. - -,** TODO Empty kitchen trash - DEADLINE: <2008-02-08 Fri 20:00 ++1d> - Marking this DONE shifts the date by at least one day, and also - by as many days as it takes to get the timestamp into the future. - Since there is a time in the timestamp, the next deadline in the - future will be on today's date if you complete the task before - 20:00. - -,** TODO Check the batteries in the smoke detectors - DEADLINE: <2005-11-01 Tue .+1m> - Marking this DONE shifts the date to one month after today. - -,** TODO Wash my hands - DEADLINE: <2019-04-05 08:00 Sun .+1h> - Marking this DONE shifts the date to exactly one hour from now. -#+end_example - -#+vindex: org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown -You may have both scheduling and deadline information for a specific -task. If the repeater is set for the scheduling information only, you -probably want the repeater to be ignored after the deadline. If so, -set the variable ~org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown~ to -~repeated-after-deadline~.

When using several keys, - keys using the same prefix key must be sequential in the list and - preceded by a 2-element entry explaining the prefix key, for - example: - - #+begin_src emacs-lisp - ("b" "Templates for marking stuff to buy") - #+end_src - - If you do not define a template for the {{{kbd(C)}}} key, this key - opens the Customize buffer for this complex variable. - -- description :: - - A short string describing the template, shown during selection. - -- type :: - - The type of entry, a symbol. Valid values are: - - - ~entry~ :: - - An Org mode node, with a headline. Will be filed as the child of - the target entry or as a top-level entry. The target file should - be an Org file. - - - ~item~ :: - - A plain list item, placed in the first plain list at the target - location. Again the target file should be an Org file. - - - ~checkitem~ :: - - A checkbox item. This only differs from the plain list item by - the default template. - - - ~table-line~ :: - - A new line in the first table at the target location. Where - exactly the line will be inserted depends on the properties - ~:prepend~ and ~:table-line-pos~ (see below). - - - ~plain~ :: - - Text to be inserted as it is. - -- target :: - - #+vindex: org-default-notes-file - #+vindex: org-directory - Specification of where the captured item should be placed. In Org - files, targets usually define a node. Entries will become children - of this node. Other types will be added to the table or list in the - body of this node. Most target specifications contain a file name. - If that file name is the empty string, it defaults to - ~org-default-notes-file~. A file can also be given as a variable or - as a function called with no argument. When an absolute path is not - specified for a target, it is taken as relative to ~org-directory~. - - Valid values are: - - - =(file "path/to/file")= :: - - Text will be placed at the beginning or end of that file. - - - =(id "id of existing org entry")= :: - - Filing as child of this entry, or in the body of the entry. - - - =(file+headline "filename" "node headline")= :: - - Fast configuration if the target heading is unique in the file. - - - =(file+olp "filename" "Level 1 heading" "Level 2" ...)= :: - - For non-unique headings, the full path is safer. - - - =(file+regexp "filename" "regexp to find location")= :: - - Use a regular expression to position point. - - - =(file+olp+datetree "filename" [ "Level 1 heading" ...])= :: - - This target[fn:84] creates a heading in a date tree[fn:85] for - today's date. If the optional outline path is given, the tree - will be built under the node it is pointing to, instead of at top - level. Check out the ~:time-prompt~ and ~:tree-type~ properties - below for additional options. - - - =(file+function "filename" function-finding-location)= :: - - A function to find the right location in the file. - - - =(clock)= :: - - File to the entry that is currently being clocked. - - - =(function function-finding-location)= :: - - Most general way: write your own function which both visits the - file and moves point to the right location. - -- template :: - - The template for creating the capture item. If you leave this - empty, an appropriate default template will be used. Otherwise this - is a string with escape codes, which will be replaced depending on - time and context of the capture call. You may also get this - template string from a file[fn:86], or dynamically, from a function - using either syntax: - - : (file "/path/to/template-file") - : (function FUNCTION-RETURNING-THE-TEMPLATE) - -- properties :: - - The rest of the entry is a property list of additional options. - Recognized properties are: - - - ~:prepend~ :: - - Normally new captured information will be appended at the target - location (last child, last table line, last list item, ...). - Setting this property changes that. - - - ~:immediate-finish~ :: - - When set, do not offer to edit the information, just file it away - immediately. This makes sense if the template only needs - information that can be added automatically. - - - ~:jump-to-captured~ :: - - When set, jump to the captured entry when finished. - - - ~:empty-lines~ :: - - Set this to the number of lines to insert before and after the new - item. Default 0, and the only other common value is 1. - - - ~:empty-lines-after~ :: - - Set this to the number of lines that should be inserted after the - new item. Overrides ~:empty-lines~ for the number of lines - inserted after. - - - ~:empty-lines-before~ :: - - Set this to the number of lines that should be inserted before the - new item. Overrides ~:empty-lines~ for the number lines inserted - before. - - - ~:clock-in~ :: - - Start the clock in this item. - - - ~:clock-keep~ :: - - Keep the clock running when filing the captured entry. - - - ~:clock-resume~ :: - - If starting the capture interrupted a clock, restart that clock - when finished with the capture. Note that ~:clock-keep~ has - precedence over ~:clock-resume~. When setting both to non-~nil~, - the current clock will run and the previous one will not be - resumed. - - - ~:time-prompt~ :: - - Prompt for a date/time to be used for date/week trees and when - filling the template. Without this property, capture uses the - current date and time. Even if this property has not been set, - you can force the same behavior by calling ~org-capture~ with - a {{{kbd(C-1)}}} prefix argument. - - - ~:tree-type~ :: - - Use ~week~ to make a week tree instead of the month-day tree, - i.e., place the headings for each day under a heading with the - current ISO week. Use ~month~ to group entries by month - only. Default is to group entries by day. - - - ~:unnarrowed~ :: - - Do not narrow the target buffer, simply show the full buffer. - Default is to narrow it so that you only see the new material. - - - ~:table-line-pos~ :: - - Specification of the location in the table where the new line - should be inserted. It should be a string like =II-3= meaning - that the new line should become the third line before the second - horizontal separator line. - - - ~:kill-buffer~ :: - - If the target file was not yet visited when capture was invoked, - kill the buffer again after capture is completed. - - - ~:no-save~ :: - - Do not save the target file after finishing the capture. - - - ~:refile-targets :: Temporarily set ~org-refile-targets~ to the - value of this property. - -**** Template expansion -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: Filling in information about time and context. -:END: - -In the template itself, special "%-escapes"[fn:87] allow dynamic -insertion of content.

Define a new one and add it as first element in - ~org-attach-id-to-path-function-list~ if you want the folder - structure in any other way.

There are two ways to keep -it more compact: - -- - #+vindex: org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled - #+vindex: org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines - #+vindex: org-agenda-todo-ignore-timestamp - #+vindex: org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date - Some people view a TODO item that has been /scheduled/ for execution - or have a /deadline/ (see [[*Timestamps]]) as no longer /open/. - Configure the variables ~org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled~ to - exclude some or all scheduled items from the global TODO list, - ~org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines~ to exclude some or all items with - a deadline set, ~org-agenda-todo-ignore-timestamp~ to exclude some - or all items with an active timestamp other than a DEADLINE or - a SCHEDULED timestamp and/or ~org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date~ to - exclude items with at least one active timestamp. - -- - #+vindex: org-agenda-todo-list-sublevels - TODO items may have sublevels to break up the task into subtasks. - In such cases it may be enough to list only the highest level TODO - headline and omit the sublevels from the global list. Configure the - variable ~org-agenda-todo-list-sublevels~ to get this behavior. - -*** Matching tags and properties -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: Structured information with fine-tuned search. -:END: -#+cindex: matching, of tags -#+cindex: matching, of properties -#+cindex: tags view -#+cindex: match view - -If headlines in the agenda files are marked with /tags/ (see [[*Tags]]), -or have properties (see [[*Properties and Columns]]), you can select -headlines based on this metadata and collect them into an agenda -buffer. The match syntax described here also applies when creating -sparse trees with {{{kbd(C-c / m)}}}. - -- {{{kbd(M-x org-agenda m)}}} (~org-tags-view~) :: - - #+kindex: m @r{(Agenda dispatcher)} - #+findex: org-tags-view - Produce a list of all headlines that match a given set of tags. The - command prompts for a selection criterion, which is a boolean logic - expression with tags, like =+work+urgent-withboss= or =work|home= - (see [[*Tags]]). If you often need a specific search, define a custom - command for it (see [[*The Agenda Dispatcher]]). - -- {{{kbd(M-x org-agenda M)}}} (~org-tags-view~) :: - - #+kindex: M @r{(Agenda dispatcher)} - #+findex: org-tags-view - #+vindex: org-tags-match-list-sublevels - #+vindex: org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options - Like {{{kbd(m)}}}, but only select headlines that are also TODO - items and force checking subitems (see the variable - ~org-tags-match-list-sublevels~). To exclude scheduled/deadline - items, see the variable ~org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options~. - Matching specific TODO keywords together with a tags match is also - possible, see [[*Tag Searches]]. - -The commands available in the tags list are described in [[*Commands in -the Agenda Buffer]]. - -#+cindex: boolean logic, for agenda searches -A search string can use Boolean operators =&= for AND and =|= for OR. -=&= binds more strongly than =|=. Parentheses are currently not -implemented. Each element in the search is either a tag, a regular -expression matching tags, or an expression like =PROPERTY OPERATOR -VALUE= with a comparison operator, accessing a property value. Each -element may be preceded by =-= to select against it, and =+= is -syntactic sugar for positive selection. The AND operator =&= is -optional when =+= or =-= is present. Here are some examples, using -only tags. - -- =+work-boss= :: - - Select headlines tagged =work=, but discard those also tagged - =boss=. - -- =work|laptop= :: - - Selects lines tagged =work= or =laptop=. - -- =work|laptop+night= :: - - Like before, but require the =laptop= lines to be tagged also - =night=. - -#+cindex: regular expressions, with tags search -Instead of a tag, you may also specify a regular expression enclosed -in curly braces (see [[*Regular Expressions]]). For example, -=work+{^boss.*}= matches headlines that contain the tag =:work:= and -any tag /starting/ with =boss=. - -#+cindex: group tags, as regular expressions -Group tags (see [[*Tag Hierarchy]]) are expanded as regular expressions. -E.g., if =work= is a group tag for the group =:work:lab:conf:=, then -searching for =work= also searches for ={\(?:work\|lab\|conf\)}= and -searching for =-work= searches for all headlines but those with one of -the tags in the group (i.e., =-{\(?:work\|lab\|conf\)}=). - -#+cindex: TODO keyword matching, with tags search -#+cindex: level, for tags/property match -#+cindex: category, for tags/property match -#+vindex: org-odd-levels-only -You may also test for properties (see [[*Properties and Columns]]) at the -same time as matching tags. The properties may be real properties, or -special properties that represent other metadata (see [[*Special -Properties]]). For example, the property =TODO= represents the TODO -keyword of the entry. Or, the property =LEVEL= represents the level -of an entry. So searching =+LEVEL=3+boss-TODO​="DONE"= lists all level -three headlines that have the tag =boss= and are /not/ marked with the -TODO keyword =DONE=. In buffers with ~org-odd-levels-only~ set, -=LEVEL= does not count the number of stars, but =LEVEL=2= corresponds -to 3 stars etc. - -Here are more examples: - -- =work+TODO​="WAITING"= :: - - Select =work=-tagged TODO lines with the specific TODO keyword - =WAITING=. - -- =work+TODO​="WAITING"|home+TODO​="WAITING"= :: - - Waiting tasks both at work and at home. - -When matching properties, a number of different operators can be used -to test the value of a property. Here is a complex example: - -#+begin_example -+work-boss+PRIORITY="A"+Coffee="unlimited"+Effort<2 - +With={Sarah\|Denny}+SCHEDULED>="<2008-10-11>" -#+end_example - -#+texinfo: @noindent -The type of comparison depends on how the comparison value is written: - -- If the comparison value is a plain number, a numerical comparison is - done, and the allowed operators are =<=, ===, =>=, =<==, =>==, and - =<>=. - -- If the comparison value is enclosed in double-quotes, a string - comparison is done, and the same operators are allowed. - -- If the comparison value is enclosed in double-quotes /and/ angular - brackets (like =DEADLINE<​="<2008-12-24 18:30>"=), both values are - assumed to be date/time specifications in the standard Org way, and - the comparison is done accordingly. Valid values also include - ="<now>"= for now (including time), ="<today>"=, and ="<tomorrow>"= - for these days at 0:00 hours, i.e., without a time specification. - You can also use strings like ="<+5d>"= or ="<-2m>"= with units =d=, - =w=, =m=, and =y= for day, week, month, and year, respectively. - -- If the comparison value is enclosed in curly braces, a regexp match - is performed, with === meaning that the regexp matches the property - value, and =<>= meaning that it does not match. - -So the search string in the example finds entries tagged =work= but -not =boss=, which also have a priority value =A=, a =Coffee= property -with the value =unlimited=, an =EFFORT= property that is numerically -smaller than 2, a =With= property that is matched by the regular -expression =Sarah\|Denny=, and that are scheduled on or after October -11, 2008. - -You can configure Org mode to use property inheritance during -a search, but beware that this can slow down searches considerably. -See [[*Property Inheritance]], for details. - -For backward compatibility, and also for typing speed, there is also -a different way to test TODO states in a search. For this, terminate -the tags/property part of the search string (which may include several -terms connected with =|=) with a =/= and then specify a Boolean -expression just for TODO keywords. The syntax is then similar to that -for tags, but should be applied with care: for example, a positive -selection on several TODO keywords cannot meaningfully be combined -with boolean AND. However, /negative selection/ combined with AND can -be meaningful. To make sure that only lines are checked that actually -have any TODO keyword (resulting in a speed-up), use {{{kbd(M-x -org-agenda M)}}}, or equivalently start the TODO part after the slash -with =!=. Using {{{kbd(M-x org-agenda M)}}} or =/!= does not match -TODO keywords in a DONE state. Examples: - -- =work/WAITING= :: - - Same as =work+TODO​="WAITING"=. - -- =work/!-WAITING-NEXT= :: - - Select =work=-tagged TODO lines that are neither =WAITING= nor - =NEXT=. - -- =work/!+WAITING|+NEXT= :: - - Select =work=-tagged TODO lines that are either =WAITING= or =NEXT=. - -*** Search view -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: Find entries by searching for text. -:END: -#+cindex: search view -#+cindex: text search -#+cindex: searching, for text - -This agenda view is a general text search facility for Org mode -entries.

This causes the following issues: - -1. - #+vindex: org-columns-default-format-for-agenda - #+vindex: org-columns-default-format - Org needs to make a decision which columns format to use. Since - the entries in the agenda are collected from different files, and - different files may have different columns formats, this is a - non-trivial problem. Org first checks if - ~org-overriding-columns-format~ is currently set, and if so, takes - the format from there. You should set this variable only in the - /local settings section/ of a custom agenda command (see [[*Custom - Agenda Views]]) to make it valid for that specific agenda view.

This is also true for the special - =CLOCKSUM= property. Org then sums the values displayed in the - agenda. In the daily/weekly agenda, the sums cover a single day; - in all other views they cover the entire block. - - It is important to realize that the agenda may show the same entry - /twice/---for example as scheduled and as a deadline---and it may - show two entries from the same hierarchy (for example a /parent/ - and its /child/). In these cases, the summation in the agenda - leads to incorrect results because some values count double. - -3. When the column view in the agenda shows the =CLOCKSUM= property, - that is always the entire clocked time for this item. So even in - the daily/weekly agenda, the clocksum listed in column view may - originate from times outside the current view. This has the - advantage that you can compare these values with a column listing - the planned total effort for a task---one of the major - applications for column view in the agenda. If you want - information about clocked time in the displayed period use clock - table mode (press {{{kbd(R)}}} in the agenda). - -4. - #+cindex: @samp{CLOCKSUM_T}, special property - When the column view in the agenda shows the =CLOCKSUM_T= property, - that is always today's clocked time for this item.

In -addition to timestamp comparison, they also do content and -permissions/attribute checks. For this reason you might prefer to -publish your web to a local directory---possibly even /in place/ with -your Org files---and then use Unison or Rsync to do the -synchronization with the remote host. - -Since Unison, for example, can be configured as to which files to -transfer to a certain remote destination, it can greatly simplify the -project publishing definition. Simply keep all files in the correct -location, process your Org files with ~org-publish~ and let the -synchronization tool do the rest.

Users can control the "liveliness" of each -source code block by tweaking the header arguments (see [[*Using Header -Arguments]]) for compiling, execution, extraction, and exporting. - -For editing and formatting a source code block, Org uses an -appropriate Emacs major mode that includes features specifically -designed for source code in that language. - -Org can extract one or more source code blocks and write them to one -or more source files---a process known as /tangling/ in literate -programming terminology. - -For exporting and publishing, Org's back-ends can format a source code -block appropriately, often with native syntax highlighting. - -For executing and compiling a source code block, the user can -configure Org to select the appropriate compiler. Org provides -facilities to collect the result of the execution or compiler output, -insert it into the Org document, and/or export it. In addition to -text results, Org can insert links to other data types, including -audio, video, and graphics. Org can also link a compiler error -message to the appropriate line in the source code block. - -An important feature of Org's management of source code blocks is the -ability to pass variables, functions, and results to one another using -a common syntax for source code blocks in any language. Although most -literate programming facilities are restricted to one language or -another, Org's language-agnostic approach lets the literate programmer -match each programming task with the appropriate computer language and -to mix them all together in a single Org document. This -interoperability among languages explains why Org's source code -management facility was named /Org Babel/ by its originators, Eric -Schulte and Dan Davison. - -Org mode fulfills the promise of easy verification and maintenance of -publishing reproducible research by keeping text, data, code, -configuration settings of the execution environment, the results of -the execution, and associated narratives, claims, references, and -internal and external links in a single Org document. - -** Structure of Code Blocks -:PROPERTIES: -:DESCRIPTION: Code block syntax described. -:END: -#+cindex: code block, structure -#+cindex: source code, block structure -#+cindex: @samp{NAME} keyword, in source blocks -#+cindex: @samp{BEGIN_SRC} - -Org offers two ways to structure source code in Org documents: in -a source code block, and directly inline.

I was trying to organize my notes and -projects, and using Emacs seemed to be the natural way to go. -However, having to remember eleven different commands with two or -three keys per command, only to hide and show parts of the outline -tree, that seemed entirely unacceptable to me. Also, when using -outlines to take notes, I constantly wanted to restructure the tree, -organizing it parallel to my thoughts and plans. /Visibility cycling/ -and /structure editing/ were originally implemented in the package -=outline-magic.el=, but quickly moved to the more general =org.el=. -As this environment became comfortable for project planning, the next -step was adding /TODO entries/, basic /timestamps/, and /table -support/. These areas highlighted the two main goals that Org still -has today: to be a new, outline-based, plain text mode with innovative -and intuitive editing features, and to incorporate project planning -functionality directly into a notes file. - -Since the first release, literally thousands of emails to me or to the -[[mailto:emacs-orgmode@gnu.org][mailing list]] have provided a constant stream of bug reports, feedback, -new ideas, and sometimes patches and add-on code. Many thanks to -everyone who has helped to improve this package. I am trying to keep -here a list of the people who had significant influence in shaping one -or more aspects of Org. The list may not be complete, if I have -forgotten someone, please accept my apologies and let me know. - -Before I get to this list, a few special mentions are in order: - -- Bastien Guerry :: - - Bastien has written a large number of extensions to Org (most of - them integrated into the core by now), including the LaTeX exporter - and the plain list parser. His support during the early days was - central to the success of this project. Bastien also invented Worg, - helped establishing the Web presence of Org, and sponsored hosting - costs for the orgmode.org website. Bastien stepped in as maintainer - of Org between 2011 and 2013, at a time when I desperately needed - a break. - -- Eric Schulte and Dan Davison :: - - Eric and Dan are jointly responsible for the Org Babel system, which - turns Org into a multi-language environment for evaluating code and - doing literate programming and reproducible research. This has - become one of Org's killer features that define what Org is today. - -- John Wiegley :: - - John has contributed a number of great ideas and patches directly to - Org, including the attachment system (=org-attach.el=), integration - with Apple Mail (=org-mac-message.el=), hierarchical dependencies of - TODO items, habit tracking (=org-habits.el=), and encryption - (=org-crypt.el=). Also, the capture system is really an extended - copy of his great =remember.el=. - -- Sebastian Rose :: - - Without Sebastian, the HTML/XHTML publishing of Org would be the - pitiful work of an ignorant amateur. Sebastian has pushed this part - of Org onto a much higher level. He also wrote =org-info.js=, - a JavaScript program for displaying webpages derived from Org using - an Info-like or a folding interface with single-key navigation. - -See below for the full list of contributions! Again, please let me -know what I am missing here! - -** From Bastien -:PROPERTIES: -:UNNUMBERED: notoc -:END: - -I (Bastien) have been maintaining Org between 2011 and 2013. This -appendix would not be complete without adding a few more -acknowledgments and thanks. - -I am first grateful to Carsten for his trust while handing me over the -maintainership of Org. His unremitting support is what really helped -me getting more confident over time, with both the community and the -code. - -When I took over maintainership, I knew I would have to make Org more -collaborative than ever, as I would have to rely on people that are -more knowledgeable than I am on many parts of the code. Here is -a list of the persons I could rely on, they should really be -considered co-maintainers, either of the code or the community: - -- Eric Schulte :: - - Eric is maintaining the Babel parts of Org. His reactivity here - kept me away from worrying about possible bugs here and let me focus - on other parts. - -- Nicolas Goaziou :: - - Nicolas is maintaining the consistency of the deepest parts of Org. - His work on =org-element.el= and =ox.el= has been outstanding, and - it opened the doors for many new ideas and features. He rewrote - many of the old exporters to use the new export engine, and helped - with documenting this major change. More importantly (if that's - possible), he has been more than reliable during all the work done - for Org 8.0, and always very reactive on the mailing list. - -- Achim Gratz :: - - Achim rewrote the building process of Org, turning some /ad hoc/ - tools into a flexible and conceptually clean process. He patiently - coped with the many hiccups that such a change can create for users. - -- Nick Dokos :: - - The Org mode mailing list would not be such a nice place without - Nick, who patiently helped users so many times. It is impossible to - overestimate such a great help, and the list would not be so active - without him. - -I received support from so many users that it is clearly impossible to -be fair when shortlisting a few of them, but Org's history would not -be complete if the ones above were not mentioned in this manual. - -** List of Contributions -:PROPERTIES: -:UNNUMBERED: notoc -:END: - -- Russell Adams came up with the idea for drawers. - -- Thomas Baumann wrote =ol-bbdb.el= and =ol-mhe.el=. - -- Christophe Bataillon created the great unicorn logo that we use on - the Org mode website. - -- Alex Bochannek provided a patch for rounding timestamps. - -- Jan Böcker wrote =ol-docview.el=. - -- Brad Bozarth showed how to pull RSS feed data into Org files. - -- Tom Breton wrote =org-choose.el=. - -- Charles Cave's suggestion sparked the implementation of templates - for Remember, which are now templates for capture. - -- Timothy E Chapman worked on a complete overhaul of the orgmode.org - website in 2020 and helped fixing various bugs. - -- Pavel Chalmoviansky influenced the agenda treatment of items with - specified time. - -- Gregory Chernov patched support for Lisp forms into table - calculations and improved XEmacs compatibility, in particular by - porting =nouline.el= to XEmacs. - -- Sacha Chua suggested copying some linking code from Planner. - -- Baoqiu Cui contributed the DocBook exporter. - -- Eddward DeVilla proposed and tested checkbox statistics.

Note -also that clocking only works with headings indented less than 30 -stars. - -[fn:4] See, however, the option ~org-cycle-emulate-tab~. - -[fn:5] The indirect buffer contains the entire buffer, but is narrowed -to the current tree. Editing the indirect buffer also changes the -original buffer, but without affecting visibility in that buffer. For -more information about indirect buffers, see [[info:emacs#Indirect Buffers][GNU Emacs Manual]]. - -[fn:6] When ~org-agenda-inhibit-startup~ is non-~nil~, Org does not -honor the default visibility state when first opening a file for the -agenda (see [[*Speeding Up Your Agendas]]). - -[fn:7] See also the variable ~org-show-context-detail~ to decide how -much context is shown around each match. - -[fn:8] This depends on the option ~org-remove-highlights-with-change~. - -[fn:9] When using =*= as a bullet, lines must be indented so that they -are not interpreted as headlines. Also, when you are hiding leading -stars to get a clean outline view, plain list items starting with -a star may be hard to distinguish from true headlines. In short: even -though =*= is supported, it may be better to not use it for plain list -items. - -[fn:10] You can filter out any of them by configuring -~org-plain-list-ordered-item-terminator~. - -[fn:11] You can also get =a.=, =A.=, =a)= and =A)= by configuring -~org-list-allow-alphabetical~. To minimize confusion with normal -text, those are limited to one character only. Beyond that limit, -bullets automatically become numbers. - -[fn:12] If there's a checkbox in the item, the cookie must be put -/before/ the checkbox. If you have activated alphabetical lists, you -can also use counters like =[@b]=. - -[fn:13] If you do not want the item to be split, customize the -variable ~org-M-RET-may-split-line~. - -[fn:14] If you want to cycle around items that way, you may customize -~org-list-use-circular-motion~. - -[fn:15] See ~org-list-use-circular-motion~ for a cyclic behavior. - -[fn:16] Many desktops intercept {{{kbd(M-TAB)}}} to switch windows. -Use {{{kbd(C-M-i)}}} or {{{kbd(ESC TAB)}}} instead. - -[fn:17] To insert a vertical bar into a table field, use =\vert= or, -inside a word =abc\vert{}def=. - -[fn:18] Org understands references typed by the user as =B4=, but it -does not use this syntax when offering a formula for editing. You can -customize this behavior using the variable -~org-table-use-standard-references~. - -[fn:19] The computation time scales as O(N^2) because table -{{{var(FOO)}}} is parsed for each field to be copied. - -[fn:20] The file =constants.el= can supply the values of constants in -two different unit systems, =SI= and =cgs=. Which one is used depends -on the value of the variable ~constants-unit-system~. You can use the -=STARTUP= options =constSI= and =constcgs= to set this value for the -current buffer. - -[fn:21] The printf reformatting is limited in precision because the -value passed to it is converted into an "integer" or "double". The -"integer" is limited in size by truncating the signed value to 32 -bits. The "double" is limited in precision to 64 bits overall which -leaves approximately 16 significant decimal digits. - -[fn:22] Such names must start with an alphabetic character and use -only alphanumeric/underscore characters. - -[fn:23] Plain URIs are recognized only for a well-defined set of -schemes. See [[*External Links]]. Unlike URI syntax, they cannot contain -parenthesis or white spaces, either. URIs within angle brackets have -no such limitation. - -[fn:24] More accurately, the precise behavior depends on how point -arrived there---see [[info:elisp#Invisible Text][Invisible Text]]. - -[fn:25] To insert a link targeting a headline, in-buffer completion -can be used. Just type a star followed by a few optional letters into -the buffer and press {{{kbd(M-TAB)}}}. All headlines in the current -buffer are offered as completions. - -[fn:26] When targeting a =NAME= keyword, the =CAPTION= keyword is -mandatory in order to get proper numbering (see [[*Captions]]). - -[fn:27] The actual behavior of the search depends on the value of the -variable ~org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline~. If its value is -~nil~, then a fuzzy text search is done. If it is ~t~, then only the -exact headline is matched, ignoring spaces and statistic cookies. If -the value is ~query-to-create~, then an exact headline is searched; if -it is not found, then the user is queried to create it. - -[fn:28] If the headline contains a timestamp, it is removed from the -link, which results in a wrong link---you should avoid putting -a timestamp in the headline. - -[fn:29] The Org Id library must first be loaded, either through -~org-customize~, by enabling ~id~ in ~org-modules~, or by adding -=(require 'org-id)= in your Emacs init file. - -[fn:30] Note that you do not have to use this command to insert -a link. Links in Org are plain text, and you can type or paste them -straight into the buffer. By using this command, the links are -automatically enclosed in double brackets, and you will be asked for -the optional descriptive text. - -[fn:31] After insertion of a stored link, the link will be removed -from the list of stored links. To keep it in the list for later use, -use a triple {{{kbd(C-u)}}} prefix argument to {{{kbd(C-c C-l)}}}, or -configure the option ~org-link-keep-stored-after-insertion~. - -[fn:32] This works if a function has been defined in the ~:complete~ -property of a link in ~org-link-parameters~. - -[fn:33] See the variable ~org-link-use-indirect-buffer-for-internals~. - -[fn:34] For backward compatibility, line numbers can also follow a -single colon. - -[fn:35] Of course, you can make a document that contains only long -lists of TODO items, but this is not required. - -[fn:36] Changing the variable ~org-todo-keywords~ only becomes -effective after restarting Org mode in a buffer. - -[fn:37] This is also true for the {{{kbd(t)}}} command in the agenda -buffer. - -[fn:38] All characters are allowed except =@=, =^= and =!=, which have -a special meaning here. - -[fn:39] Check also the variable ~org-fast-tag-selection-include-todo~, -it allows you to change the TODO state through the tags interface (see -[[*Setting Tags]]), in case you like to mingle the two concepts. Note -that this means you need to come up with unique keys across both sets -of keywords. - -[fn:40] Org mode parses these lines only when Org mode is activated -after visiting a file. {{{kbd(C-c C-c)}}} with point in a line -starting with =#+= is simply restarting Org mode for the current -buffer. - -[fn:41] The corresponding in-buffer setting is: =#+STARTUP: logdone=. - -[fn:42] The corresponding in-buffer setting is: =#+STARTUP: -lognotedone=. - -[fn:43] See the variable ~org-log-states-order-reversed~. - -[fn:44] Note that the =LOGBOOK= drawer is unfolded when pressing -{{{kbd(SPC)}}} in the agenda to show an entry---use {{{kbd(C-u -SPC)}}} to keep it folded here. - -[fn:45] It is possible that Org mode records two timestamps when you -are using both ~org-log-done~ and state change logging. However, it -never prompts for two notes: if you have configured both, the state -change recording note takes precedence and cancel the closing note. - -[fn:46] See also the option ~org-priority-start-cycle-with-default~. - -[fn:47] To keep subtasks out of the global TODO list, see the option -~org-agenda-todo-list-sublevels~. - -[fn:48] With the exception of description lists. But you can allow it -by modifying ~org-list-automatic-rules~ accordingly. - -[fn:49] Set the variable ~org-hierarchical-checkbox-statistics~ if you -want such cookies to count all checkboxes below the cookie, not just -those belonging to direct children. - -[fn:50] {{{kbd(C-u C-c C-c)}}} on the /first/ item of a list with no -checkbox adds checkboxes to the rest of the list. - -[fn:51] As with all these in-buffer settings, pressing {{{kbd(C-c -C-c)}}} activates any changes in the line. - -[fn:52] This is only true if the search does not involve more complex -tests including properties (see [[*Property Searches]]). - -[fn:53] To extend this default list to all tags used in all agenda -files (see [[*Agenda Views]]), customize the variable -~org-complete-tags-always-offer-all-agenda-tags~. - -[fn:54] Keys are automatically assigned to tags that have no -configured keys. - -[fn:55] If more than one summary type applies to the same property, -the parent values are computed according to the first of them. - -[fn:56] An age can be defined as a duration, using units defined in -~org-duration-units~, e.g., =3d 1h=. If any value in the column is as -such, the summary is also expressed as a duration. - -[fn:57] Please note that the =COLUMNS= definition must be on a single -line; it is wrapped here only because of formatting constraints. - -[fn:58] Contributed packages are not part of Emacs, but are -distributed with the main distribution of Org---visit -[[https://orgmode.org]]. - -[fn:59] The Org date format is inspired by the standard ISO 8601 -date/time format. To use an alternative format, see [[*Custom time -format]]. The day name is optional when you type the date yourself. -However, any date inserted or modified by Org adds that day name, for -reading convenience. - -[fn:60] When working with the standard diary expression functions, you -need to be very careful with the order of the arguments. That order -depends evilly on the variable ~calendar-date-style~. For example, to -specify a date December 12, 2005, the call might look like -=(diary-date 12 1 2005)= or =(diary-date 1 12 2005)= or =(diary-date -2005 12 1)=, depending on the settings. This has been the source of -much confusion. Org mode users can resort to special versions of -these functions like ~org-date~ or ~org-anniversary~. These work just -like the corresponding ~diary-~ functions, but with stable ISO order -of arguments (year, month, day) wherever applicable, independent of -the value of ~calendar-date-style~. - -[fn:61] See the variable ~org-read-date-prefer-future~. You may set -that variable to the symbol ~time~ to even make a time before now -shift the date to tomorrow. - -[fn:62] If you do not need/want the calendar, configure the variable -~org-popup-calendar-for-date-prompt~. - -[fn:63] You can also use the calendar command {{{kbd(.)}}} to jump to -today's date, but if you are inserting an hour specification for your -timestamp, {{{kbd(.)}}} will then insert a dot after the hour. By contrast, -{{{kbd(C-.)}}} will always jump to today's date. - -[fn:64] If you find this distracting, turn off the display with -~org-read-date-display-live~. - -[fn:65] It will still be listed on that date after it has been marked -as done. If you do not like this, set the variable -~org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-done~. - -[fn:66] The =SCHEDULED= and =DEADLINE= dates are inserted on the line -right below the headline. Do not put any text between this line and -the headline. - -[fn:67] Note the corresponding =STARTUP= options =logredeadline=, -=lognoteredeadline=, and =nologredeadline=. - -[fn:68] Note the corresponding =STARTUP= options =logreschedule=, -=lognotereschedule=, and =nologreschedule=. - -[fn:69] Org does not repeat inactive timestamps, however. See -[[*Timestamps]]. - -[fn:70] In fact, the target state is taken from, in this sequence, the -=REPEAT_TO_STATE= property, the variable ~org-todo-repeat-to-state~ if -it is a string, the previous TODO state if ~org-todo-repeat-to-state~ -is ~t~, or the first state of the TODO state sequence. - -[fn:71] You can change this using the option ~org-log-repeat~, or the -=STARTUP= options =logrepeat=, =lognoterepeat=, and =nologrepeat=. -With =lognoterepeat=, you will also be prompted for a note. - -[fn:72] Clocking only works if all headings are indented with less -than 30 stars. This is a hard-coded limitation of ~lmax~ in -~org-clock-sum~. - -[fn:73] To resume the clock under the assumption that you have worked -on this task while outside Emacs, use =(setq org-clock-persist t)=. - -[fn:74] To add an effort estimate "on the fly", hook a function doing -this to ~org-clock-in-prepare-hook~. - -[fn:75] The last reset of the task is recorded by the =LAST_REPEAT= -property. - -[fn:76] See also the variable ~org-clock-mode-line-total~. - -[fn:77] The corresponding in-buffer setting is: =#+STARTUP: -lognoteclock-out=. - -[fn:78] When using ~:step~, ~untilnow~ starts from the beginning of -2003, not the beginning of time. - -[fn:79] Language terms can be set through the variable -~org-clock-clocktable-language-setup~. - -[fn:80] Note that all parameters must be specified in a single -line---the line is broken here only to fit it into the manual. - -[fn:81] On computers using macOS, idleness is based on actual user -idleness, not just Emacs' idle time. For X11, you can install a -utility program =x11idle.c=, available in the =org-contrib/= -repository, or install the xprintidle package and set it to the -variable ~org-clock-x11idle-program-name~ if you are running Debian, -to get the same general treatment of idleness. On other systems, idle -time refers to Emacs idle time only. - -[fn:82] Please note the pitfalls of summing hierarchical data in -a flat list (see [[*Using Column View in the Agenda]]). - -[fn:83] Note the corresponding =STARTUP= options =logrefile=, -=lognoterefile=, and =nologrefile=. - -[fn:84] Org used to offer four different targets for date/week tree -capture. Now, Org automatically translates these to use -~file+olp+datetree~, applying the ~:time-prompt~ and ~:tree-type~ -properties. Please rewrite your date/week-tree targets using -~file+olp+datetree~ since the older targets are now deprecated. - -[fn:85] A date tree is an outline structure with years on the highest -level, months or ISO weeks as sublevels and then dates on the lowest -level. Tags are allowed in the tree structure. - -[fn:86] When the file name is not absolute, Org assumes it is relative -to ~org-directory~. - -[fn:87] If you need one of these sequences literally, escape the =%= -with a backslash. - -[fn:88] If you define your own link types (see [[*Adding Hyperlink -Types]]), any property you store with ~org-store-link-props~ can be -accessed in capture templates in a similar way. - -[fn:89] This is always the other, not the user. See the variable -~org-link-from-user-regexp~. - -[fn:90] If you move entries or Org files from one directory to -another, you may want to configure ~org-attach-id-dir~ to contain -an absolute path. - -[fn:91] If the value of that variable is not a list, but a single file -name, then the list of agenda files in maintained in that external -file. - -[fn:92] When using the dispatcher, pressing {{{kbd(<)}}} before -selecting a command actually limits the command to the current file, -and ignores ~org-agenda-files~ until the next dispatcher command. - -[fn:93] For backward compatibility, you can also press {{{kbd(1)}}} to -restrict to the current buffer. - -[fn:94] For backward compatibility, you can also press {{{kbd(0)}}} to -restrict to the current region/subtree. - -[fn:95] For backward compatibility, the universal prefix argument -{{{kbd(C-u)}}} causes all TODO entries to be listed before the agenda. -This feature is deprecated, use the dedicated TODO list, or a block -agenda instead (see [[*Block agenda]]). - -[fn:96] The variable ~org-anniversary~ used in the example is just -like ~diary-anniversary~, but the argument order is always according -to ISO and therefore independent of the value of -~calendar-date-style~. - -[fn:97] You can, however, disable this by setting -~org-agenda-search-headline-for-time~ variable to a ~nil~ value. - -[fn:98] Custom agenda commands can preset a filter by binding one of -the variables ~org-agenda-tag-filter-preset~, -~org-agenda-category-filter-preset~, ~org-agenda-effort-filter-preset~ -or ~org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset~ as an option. This filter is -then applied to the view and persists as a basic filter through -refreshes and more secondary filtering. The filter is a global -property of the entire agenda view---in a block agenda, you should -only set this in the global options section, not in the section of an -individual block. - -[fn:99] Only tags filtering is respected here, effort filtering is -ignored. - -[fn:100] You can also create persistent custom functions through -~org-agenda-bulk-custom-functions~. - -[fn:101] This file is parsed for the agenda when -~org-agenda-include-diary~ is set. - -[fn:102] You can provide a description for a prefix key by inserting -a cons cell with the prefix and the description. - -[fn:103] /Planned/ means here that these entries have some planning -information attached to them, like a time-stamp, a scheduled or -a deadline string. See ~org-agenda-entry-types~ on how to set what -planning information is taken into account. - -[fn:104] For HTML you need to install Hrvoje NikÅ¡ić's =htmlize.el= -as an Emacs package from MELPA or from [[https://github.com/hniksic/emacs-htmlize][Hrvoje NikÅ¡ić's repository]]. - -[fn:105] To create PDF output, the Ghostscript ps2pdf utility must be -installed on the system. Selecting a PDF file also creates the -postscript file. - -[fn:106] If you want to store standard views like the weekly agenda or -the global TODO list as well, you need to define custom commands for -them in order to be able to specify file names. - -[fn:107] Quoting depends on the system you use, please check the FAQ -for examples. - -[fn:108] You can turn this on by default by setting the variable -~org-pretty-entities~, or on a per-file base with the =STARTUP= option -=entitiespretty=. - -[fn:109] This behavior can be disabled with =-= export setting (see -[[*Export Settings]]). - -[fn:110] LaTeX is a macro system based on Donald\nbsp{}E.\nbsp{}Knuth's TeX -system. Many of the features described here as "LaTeX" are really -from TeX, but for simplicity I am blurring this distinction. - -[fn:111] When MathJax is used, only the environments recognized by -MathJax are processed. When dvipng, dvisvgm, or ImageMagick suite is -used to create images, any LaTeX environment is handled. - -[fn:112] These are respectively available at -[[http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvipng/]], [[http://dvisvgm.bplaced.net/]] -and from the ImageMagick suite. Choose the converter by setting the -variable ~org-preview-latex-default-process~ accordingly. - -[fn:113] Org mode has a method to test if point is inside such -a fragment, see the documentation of the function -~org-inside-LaTeX-fragment-p~. - -[fn:114] This works automatically for the HTML backend (it requires -version 1.34 of the =htmlize.el= package, which you need to install). -Fontified code chunks in LaTeX can be achieved using either the -[[https://www.ctan.org/pkg/listings][listings]] package or the [[https://www.ctan.org/pkg/minted][minted]] package. Refer to -~org-latex-listings~ for details. - -[fn:115] Source code in code blocks may also be evaluated either -interactively or on export. See [[*Working with Source Code]] for more -information on evaluating code blocks. - -[fn:116] Adding =-k= to =-n -r= /keeps/ the labels in the source code -while using line numbers for the links, which might be useful to -explain those in an Org mode example code. - -[fn:117] You may select a different mode with the variable -~org-edit-fixed-width-region-mode~. - -[fn:118] What Emacs considers to be an image depends on -~image-file-name-extensions~ and ~image-file-name-regexps~. - -[fn:119] The variable ~org-startup-with-inline-images~ can be set -within a buffer with the =STARTUP= options =inlineimages= and -=noinlineimages=. - -[fn:120] The corresponding in-buffer setting is: =#+STARTUP: fninline= -or =#+STARTUP: nofninline=. - -[fn:121] The corresponding in-buffer options are =#+STARTUP: fnadjust= -and =#+STARTUP: nofnadjust=. - -[fn:122] The variable ~org-export-date-timestamp-format~ defines how -this timestamp are exported. - -[fn:123] For export to LaTeX format---or LaTeX-related formats such as -Beamer---, the =org-latex-package-alist= variable needs further -configuration. See [[LaTeX specific export settings]]. - -[fn:124] At the moment, some export back-ends do not obey this -specification. For example, LaTeX export excludes every unnumbered -headline from the table of contents. - -[fn:125] Note that ~org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline~ is -locally bound to non-~nil~. Therefore, ~org-link-search~ only matches -headlines and named elements. - -[fn:126] Since commas separate the arguments, commas within arguments -have to be escaped with the backslash character. So only those -backslash characters before a comma need escaping with another -backslash character. - -[fn:127] For a less drastic behavior, consider using a select tag (see -[[*Export Settings]]) instead. - -[fn:128] If =BEAMER_ENV= is set, Org export adds =B_environment= tag -to make it visible. The tag serves as a visual aid and has no -semantic relevance. - -[fn:129] By default Org loads MathJax from [[https://cdnjs.com][cdnjs.com]] as recommended by -[[https://www.mathjax.org][MathJax]]. - -[fn:130] Please note that exported formulas are part of an HTML -document, and that signs such as =<=, =>=, or =&= have special -meanings. See [[http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/tex.html#tex-and-latex-in-html-documents][MathJax TeX and LaTeX support]]. - -[fn:131] See [[http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/tex.html#tex-extensions][TeX and LaTeX extensions]] in the [[http://docs.mathjax.org][MathJax manual]] to learn -about extensions. - -[fn:132] If the classes on TODO keywords and tags lead to conflicts, -use the variables ~org-html-todo-kwd-class-prefix~ and -~org-html-tag-class-prefix~ to make them unique. - -[fn:133] This does not allow setting different bibliography compilers -for different files. However, "smart" LaTeX compilation systems, such -as latexmk, can select the correct bibliography compiler. - -[fn:134] Minted uses an external Python package for code highlighting, -which requires the flag =-shell-escape= to be added to -~org-latex-pdf-process~. - -[fn:135] See [[http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/OpenDocument-v1.2.html][Open Document Format for Office Applications -(OpenDocument) Version 1.2]]. - -[fn:136] See [[http://www.mathtoweb.com/cgi-bin/mathtoweb_home.pl][MathToWeb]]. - -[fn:137] See [[http://dlmf.nist.gov/LaTeXML/]]. - -[fn:138] [[http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/OpenDocument-v1.2.html][OpenDocument-v1.2 Specification]] - -[fn:139] See the =<table:table-template>= element of the -OpenDocument-v1.2 specification. - -[fn:140] See the attributes =table:template-name=, -=table:use-first-row-styles=, =table:use-last-row-styles=, -=table:use-first-column-styles=, =table:use-last-column-styles=, -=table:use-banding-rows-styles=, and =table:use-banding-column-styles= -of the =<table:table>= element in the OpenDocument-v1.2 specification. - -[fn:141] If the publishing directory is the same as the source -directory, =file.org= is exported as =file.org.org=, so you probably -do not want to do this. - -[fn:142] The option ~org-babel-no-eval-on-ctrl-c-ctrl-c~ can be used -to remove code evaluation from the {{{kbd(C-c C-c)}}} key binding. - -[fn:143] Actually, the constructs =call_<name>()= and =src_<lang>{}= -are not evaluated when they appear in a keyword (see [[*Summary of -In-Buffer Settings]]). - -[fn:144] For noweb literate programming details, see -http://www.cs.tufts.edu/~nr/noweb/. - -[fn:145] For more information, please refer to the commentary section -in =org-tempo.el=. - -[fn:146] Org Indent mode also sets ~wrap-prefix~ correctly for -indenting and wrapping long lines of headlines or text. This minor -mode also handles Visual Line mode and directly applied settings -through ~word-wrap~. - -[fn:147] This works, but requires extra effort. Org Indent mode is -more convenient for most applications. - -[fn:148] ~org-adapt-indentation~ can also be set to ='headline-data=, -in which case only data lines below the headline will be indented. - -[fn:149] Note that Org Indent mode also sets the ~wrap-prefix~ -property, such that Visual Line mode (or purely setting ~word-wrap~) -wraps long lines, including headlines, correctly indented. - -[fn:150] For a server to host files, consider using a WebDAV server, -such as [[https://nextcloud.com][Nextcloud]]. Additional help is at this [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#mobileorg_webdav][FAQ entry]]. - -[fn:151] If Emacs is configured for safe storing of passwords, then -configure the variable ~org-mobile-encryption-password~; please read -the docstring of that variable. - -[fn:152] Symbolic links in ~org-directory~ need to have the same name -as their targets. - -[fn:153] While creating the agendas, Org mode forces =ID= properties -on all referenced entries, so that these entries can be uniquely -identified if Org Mobile flags them for further action. To avoid -setting properties configure the variable -~org-mobile-force-id-on-agenda-items~ to ~nil~.

-@node Summary -@section Summary - -@cindex summary - -Org is a mode for keeping notes, maintaining TODO lists, and project -planning with a fast and effective plain-text markup language. It -also is an authoring system with unique support for literate -programming and reproducible research. - -Org is implemented on top of Outline mode, which makes it possible to -keep the content of large files well structured. Visibility cycling -and structure editing help to work with the tree. Tables are easily -created with a built-in table editor. Plain text URL-like links -connect to websites, emails, Usenet messages, BBDB entries, and any -files related to the projects. - -Org develops organizational tasks around notes files that contain -lists or information about projects as plain text. Project planning -and task management make use of metadata which is part of an outline -node. Based on this data, specific entries can be extracted in -queries and create dynamic @emph{agenda views} that also integrate the -Emacs calendar and diary. Org can be used to implement many different -project planning schemes, such as David Allen's GTD system. - -Org files can serve as a single source authoring system with export to -many different formats such as HTML, @LaTeX{}, Open Document, and -Markdown. New export backends can be derived from existing ones, or -defined from scratch. - -Org files can include source code blocks, which makes Org uniquely -suited for authoring technical documents with code examples. Org -source code blocks are fully functional; they can be evaluated in -place and their results can be captured in the file. This makes it -possible to create a single file reproducible research compendium. - -Org keeps simple things simple. When first fired up, it should feel -like a straightforward, easy to use outliner. Complexity is not -imposed, but a large amount of functionality is available when needed. -Org is a toolbox. Many users actually run only a---very -personal---fraction of Org's capabilities, and know that there is more -whenever they need it. - -All of this is achieved with strictly plain text files, the most -portable and future-proof file format. Org runs in Emacs. Emacs is -one of the most widely ported programs, so that Org mode is available -on every major platform. - -@cindex FAQ -There is a website for Org which provides links to the newest version -of Org, as well as additional information, frequently asked questions -(FAQ), links to tutorials, etc. This page is located at -@uref{https://orgmode.org}. - -@cindex print edition -An earlier version (7.3) of this manual is available as a @uref{http://www.network-theory.co.uk/org/manual/, paperback -book from Network Theory Ltd.}. - -@node Installation -@section Installation - -@cindex installation - -Org is included in all recent distributions of GNU Emacs, so you -probably do not need to install it.

Here is how to produce a useful backtrace: - -@enumerate -@item -Reload uncompiled versions of all Org mode Lisp files. The -backtrace contains much more information if it is produced with -uncompiled code. To do this, use - -@example -C-u M-x org-reload <RET> -@end example - - -@noindent -or, from the menu: Org @arrow{} Refresh/Reload @arrow{} Reload Org uncompiled. - -@item -Then, activate the debugger: - -@example -M-x toggle-debug-on-error <RET> -@end example - - -@noindent -or, from the menu: Options @arrow{} Enter Debugger on Error. - -@item -Do whatever you have to do to hit the error. Do not forget to -document the steps you take. - -@item -When you hit the error, a @samp{*Backtrace*} buffer appears on the -screen. Save this buffer to a file---for example using @kbd{C-x C-w}---and attach it to your bug report. -@end enumerate - -@node Conventions -@section Typesetting Conventions Used in this Manual - - - -@anchor{TODO keywords tags properties etc} -@subheading TODO keywords, tags, properties, etc. - -Org uses various syntactical elements: TODO keywords, tags, property -names, keywords, blocks, etc. In this manual we use the following -conventions: - -@table @asis -@item @samp{TODO} -@itemx @samp{WAITING} -TODO keywords are written with all capitals, even if they are -user-defined. - -@item @samp{boss} -@itemx @samp{ARCHIVE} -Tags are case-sensitive. User-defined tags are usually written in -lowercase; built-in tags with special meaning are written as they -should appear in the document, usually with all capitals. - -@item @samp{Release} -@itemx @samp{PRIORITY} -User-defined properties are capitalized; built-in properties with -special meaning are written with all capitals. - -@item @samp{TITLE} -@itemx @samp{BEGIN} @dots{} @samp{END} -Keywords and blocks are written in uppercase to enhance their -readability, but you can use lowercase in your Org files. -@end table - -@anchor{Key bindings and commands} -@subheading Key bindings and commands - -The manual lists both the keys and the corresponding commands for -accessing a functionality. Org mode often uses the same key for -different functions, depending on context. The command that is bound -to such keys has a generic name, like @code{org-metaright}. In the manual -we will, wherever possible, give the function that is internally -called by the generic command. For example, in the chapter on -document structure, @kbd{M-@key{RIGHT}} will be listed to call -@code{org-do-demote}, while in the chapter on tables, it will be listed to -call @code{org-table-move-column-right}. - -@node Document Structure -@chapter Document Structure - -@cindex document structure -@cindex structure of document -Org is an outliner.

The link is stored for later insertion into an Org -buffer---see below. The kind of link that is created depends on the -current buffer: - -@table @asis -@item @emph{Org mode buffers} -For Org files, if there is a @samp{<<target>>} at point, the link points -to the target. Otherwise it points to the current headline, which -is also the description@footnote{If the headline contains a timestamp, it is removed from the -link, which results in a wrong link---you should avoid putting -a timestamp in the headline.}. - -@vindex org-id-link-to-org-use-id -@cindex @samp{CUSTOM_ID}, property -@cindex @samp{ID}, property -If the headline has a @samp{CUSTOM_ID} property, store a link to this -custom ID@. In addition or alternatively, depending on the value of -@code{org-id-link-to-org-use-id}, create and/or use a globally unique -@samp{ID} property for the link@footnote{The Org Id library must first be loaded, either through -@code{org-customize}, by enabling @code{id} in @code{org-modules}, or by adding -@samp{(require 'org-id)} in your Emacs init file.}. So using this command in Org -buffers potentially creates two links: a human-readable link from -the custom ID, and one that is globally unique and works even if the -entry is moved from file to file. The @samp{ID} property can be either a -UUID (default) or a timestamp, depending on @code{org-id-method}.

If -you do not provide the separator bar, the last state is used as the -DONE state. - -@cindex completion, of TODO keywords -With this setup, the command @kbd{C-c C-t} cycles an entry from -@samp{TODO} to @samp{FEEDBACK}, then to @samp{VERIFY}, and finally to @samp{DONE} and -@samp{DELEGATED}. You may also use a numeric prefix argument to quickly -select a specific state. For example @kbd{C-3 C-c C-t} changes -the state immediately to @samp{VERIFY}. Or you can use @kbd{S-@key{RIGHT}} -and @kbd{S-@key{LEFT}} to go forward and backward through the states. -If you define many keywords, you can use in-buffer completion (see -@ref{Completion}) or a special one-key selection scheme (see @ref{Fast access to TODO states}) to insert these words into the buffer. -Changing a TODO state can be logged with a timestamp, see @ref{Tracking TODO state changes}, for more information. - -@node TODO types -@subsection TODO keywords as types - -@cindex TODO types -@cindex names as TODO keywords -@cindex types as TODO keywords - -The second possibility is to use TODO keywords to indicate different -@emph{types} of action items. For example, you might want to indicate that -items are for ``work'' or ``home''. Or, when you work with several people -on a single project, you might want to assign action items directly to -persons, by using their names as TODO keywords. This type of -functionality is actually much better served by using tags (see -@ref{Tags}), so the TODO implementation is kept just for backward -compatibility. - -Using TODO types, it would be set up like this: - -@lisp -(setq org-todo-keywords '((type "Fred" "Sara" "Lucy" "|" "DONE"))) -@end lisp - -In this case, different keywords do not indicate states, but -rather different types. So the normal work flow would be to assign -a task to a person, and later to mark it DONE@. Org mode supports this -style by adapting the workings of the command @kbd{C-c C-t}@footnote{This is also true for the @kbd{t} command in the agenda -buffer.}. When used several times in succession, it still -cycles through all names, in order to first select the right type for -a task. But when you return to the item after some time and execute -@kbd{C-c C-t} again, it will switch from any name directly to -@samp{DONE}. Use prefix arguments or completion to quickly select -a specific name. You can also review the items of a specific TODO -type in a sparse tree by using a numeric prefix to @kbd{C-c / t}. -For example, to see all things Lucy has to do, you would use -@kbd{C-3 C-c / t}. To collect Lucy's items from all agenda files -into a single buffer, you would use the numeric prefix argument as -well when creating the global TODO list: @kbd{C-3 M-x org-agenda t}. - -@node Multiple sets in one file -@subsection Multiple keyword sets in one file - -@cindex TODO keyword sets - -Sometimes you may want to use different sets of TODO keywords in -parallel. For example, you may want to have the basic TODO/DONE, but -also a workflow for bug fixing, and a separate state indicating that -an item has been canceled---so it is not DONE, but also does not -require action. Your setup would then look like this: - -@lisp -(setq org-todo-keywords - '((sequence "TODO" "|" "DONE") - (sequence "REPORT" "BUG" "KNOWNCAUSE" "|" "FIXED") - (sequence "|" "CANCELED"))) -@end lisp - -The keywords should all be different, this helps Org mode keep track -of which subsequence should be used for a given entry. In this setup, -@kbd{C-c C-t} only operates within a sub-sequence, so it switches -from @samp{DONE} to (nothing) to @samp{TODO}, and from @samp{FIXED} to (nothing) to -@samp{REPORT}. Therefore you need a mechanism to initially select the -correct sequence. In addition to typing a keyword or using completion -(see @ref{Completion}), you may also apply the following commands: - -@table @asis -@item @kbd{C-u C-u C-c C-t} -@itemx @kbd{C-S-@key{RIGHT}} -@itemx @kbd{C-S-@key{LEFT}} -@kindex C-S-RIGHT -@kindex C-S-LEFT -@kindex C-u C-u C-c C-t -These keys jump from one TODO sub-sequence to the next.

Note that the @kbd{C-S-} key -binding conflict with shift-selection (see @ref{Conflicts}). - -@item @kbd{S-@key{RIGHT}} -@itemx @kbd{S-@key{LEFT}} -@kindex S-RIGHT -@kindex S-LEFT -@kbd{S-@key{LEFT}} and @kbd{S-@key{RIGHT}} walk through @emph{all} keywords -from all sub-sequences, so for example @kbd{S-@key{RIGHT}} would -switch from @samp{DONE} to @samp{REPORT} in the example above. For -a discussion of the interaction with shift-selection, see @ref{Conflicts}. -@end table - -@node Fast access to TODO states -@subsection Fast access to TODO states - -If you would like to quickly change an entry to an arbitrary TODO -state instead of cycling through the states, you can set up keys for -single-letter access to the states.

First, -properties are like tags, but with a value. Imagine maintaining -a file where you document bugs and plan releases for a piece of -software. Instead of using tags like @samp{release_1}, @samp{release_2}, you -can use a property, say @samp{Release}, that in different subtrees has -different values, such as @samp{1.0} or @samp{2.0}. Second, you can use -properties to implement (very basic) database capabilities in an Org -buffer. Imagine keeping track of your music CDs, where properties -could be things such as the album, artist, date of release, number of -tracks, and so on. - -Properties can be conveniently edited and viewed in column view (see -@ref{Column View}). - -@menu -* Property Syntax:: How properties are spelled out. -* Special Properties:: Access to other Org mode features. -* Property Searches:: Matching property values. -* Property Inheritance:: Passing values down a tree. -* Column View:: Tabular viewing and editing. -@end menu - -@node Property Syntax -@section Property Syntax - -@cindex property syntax -@cindex drawer, for properties - -Properties are key--value pairs. When they are associated with -a single entry or with a tree they need to be inserted into a special -drawer (see @ref{Drawers}) with the name @samp{PROPERTIES}, which has to be -located right below a headline, and its planning line (see @ref{Deadlines and Scheduling}) when applicable. Each property is specified on -a single line, with the key---surrounded by colons---first, and the -value after it. Keys are case-insensitive. Here is an example: - -@example -* CD collection -** Classic -*** Goldberg Variations - :PROPERTIES: - :Title: Goldberg Variations - :Composer: J.S.

This special property is @emph{inherited}, -so if you set it in a level 1 entry, it applies to the entire tree. -When allowed values are defined, setting the corresponding property -becomes easier and is less prone to typing errors. For the example -with the CD collection, we can pre-define publishers and the number of -disks in a box like this: - -@example -* CD collection - :PROPERTIES: - :NDisks_ALL: 1 2 3 4 - :Publisher_ALL: "Deutsche Grammophon" Philips EMI - :END: -@end example - -Properties can be inserted on buffer level.

Org mode helps to -organize such tasks using a so-called repeater in a @samp{DEADLINE}, -@samp{SCHEDULED}, or plain timestamps@footnote{Org does not repeat inactive timestamps, however. See -@ref{Timestamps}.}. In the following example: - -@example -** TODO Pay the rent - DEADLINE: <2005-10-01 Sat +1m> -@end example - -@noindent -the @samp{+1m} is a repeater; the intended interpretation is that the task -has a deadline on @samp{<2005-10-01>} and repeats itself every (one) month -starting from that time. You can use yearly, monthly, weekly, daily -and hourly repeat cookies by using the @samp{y}, @samp{m}, @samp{w}, @samp{d} and @samp{h} -letters. If you need both a repeater and a special warning period in -a deadline entry, the repeater should come first and the warning -period last - -@example -DEADLINE: <2005-10-01 Sat +1m -3d> -@end example - - -@vindex org-todo-repeat-to-state -Deadlines and scheduled items produce entries in the agenda when they -are over-due, so it is important to be able to mark such an entry as -done once you have done so. When you mark a @samp{DEADLINE} or -a @samp{SCHEDULED} with the TODO keyword @samp{DONE}, it no longer produces -entries in the agenda. The problem with this is, however, is that -then also the @emph{next} instance of the repeated entry will not be -active. Org mode deals with this in the following way: when you try -to mark such an entry as done, using @kbd{C-c C-t}, it shifts the -base date of the repeating timestamp by the repeater interval, and -immediately sets the entry state back to TODO@footnote{In fact, the target state is taken from, in this sequence, the -@samp{REPEAT_TO_STATE} property, the variable @code{org-todo-repeat-to-state} if -it is a string, the previous TODO state if @code{org-todo-repeat-to-state} -is @code{t}, or the first state of the TODO state sequence.}. In the example -above, setting the state to @samp{DONE} would actually switch the date like -this: - -@example -** TODO Pay the rent - DEADLINE: <2005-11-01 Tue +1m> -@end example - -To mark a task with a repeater as DONE, use @kbd{C-- 1 C-c C-t}, -i.e., @code{org-todo} with a numeric prefix argument of @samp{-1}. - -@vindex org-log-repeat -A timestamp@footnote{You can change this using the option @code{org-log-repeat}, or the -@samp{STARTUP} options @samp{logrepeat}, @samp{lognoterepeat}, and @samp{nologrepeat}. -With @samp{lognoterepeat}, you will also be prompted for a note.} is added under the deadline, to keep a record that -you actually acted on the previous instance of this deadline. - -As a consequence of shifting the base date, this entry is no longer -visible in the agenda when checking past dates, but all future -instances will be visible. - -With the @samp{+1m} cookie, the date shift is always exactly one month. So -if you have not paid the rent for three months, marking this entry -DONE still keeps it as an overdue deadline. Depending on the task, -this may not be the best way to handle it. For example, if you forgot -to call your father for 3 weeks, it does not make sense to call him -3 times in a single day to make up for it. Finally, there are tasks, -like changing batteries, which should always repeat a certain time -@emph{after} the last time you did it. For these tasks, Org mode has -special repeaters @samp{++} and @samp{.+}. For example: - -@example -** TODO Call Father - DEADLINE: <2008-02-10 Sun ++1w> - Marking this DONE shifts the date by at least one week, but also - by as many weeks as it takes to get this date into the future. - However, it stays on a Sunday, even if you called and marked it - done on Saturday. - -** TODO Empty kitchen trash - DEADLINE: <2008-02-08 Fri 20:00 ++1d> - Marking this DONE shifts the date by at least one day, and also - by as many days as it takes to get the timestamp into the future. - Since there is a time in the timestamp, the next deadline in the - future will be on today's date if you complete the task before - 20:00. - -** TODO Check the batteries in the smoke detectors - DEADLINE: <2005-11-01 Tue .+1m> - Marking this DONE shifts the date to one month after today. - -** TODO Wash my hands - DEADLINE: <2019-04-05 08:00 Sun .+1h> - Marking this DONE shifts the date to exactly one hour from now. -@end example - -@vindex org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown -You may have both scheduling and deadline information for a specific -task. If the repeater is set for the scheduling information only, you -probably want the repeater to be ignored after the deadline. If so, -set the variable @code{org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown} to -@code{repeated-after-deadline}. However, any scheduling information -without a repeater is no longer relevant once the task is done, and -thus, removed upon repeating the task. If you want both scheduling -and deadline information to repeat after the same interval, set the -same repeater for both timestamps. - -An alternative to using a repeater is to create a number of copies of -a task subtree, with dates shifted in each copy.

Org asks how many of the minutes to keep. Press -@kbd{@key{RET}} to keep them all, effectively changing nothing, or -enter a number to keep that many minutes. - -@item @kbd{K} -@kindex K -If you use the shift key and press @kbd{K}, it keeps however -many minutes you request and then immediately clock out of that -task. If you keep all of the minutes, this is the same as just -clocking out of the current task. - -@item @kbd{s} -@kindex s -To keep none of the minutes, use @kbd{s} to subtract all the -away time from the clock, and then check back in from the moment you -returned. - -@item @kbd{S} -@kindex S -To keep none of the minutes and just clock out at the start of the -away time, use the shift key and press @kbd{S}. Remember that -using shift always leave you clocked out, no matter which option you -choose. - -@item @kbd{C} -@kindex C -To cancel the clock altogether, use @kbd{C}. Note that if -instead of canceling you subtract the away time, and the resulting -clock amount is less than a minute, the clock is still canceled -rather than cluttering up the log with an empty entry. -@end table - -What if you subtracted those away minutes from the current clock, and -now want to apply them to a new clock? Simply clock in to any task -immediately after the subtraction. Org will notice that you have -subtracted time ``on the books'', so to speak, and will ask if you want -to apply those minutes to the next task you clock in on. - -There is one other instance when this clock resolution magic occurs. -Say you were clocked in and hacking away, and suddenly your cat chased -a mouse who scared a hamster that crashed into your UPS's power -button! You suddenly lose all your buffers, but thanks to auto-save -you still have your recent Org mode changes, including your last clock -in. - -If you restart Emacs and clock into any task, Org will notice that you -have a dangling clock which was never clocked out from your last -session. Using that clock's starting time as the beginning of the -unaccounted-for period, Org will ask how you want to resolve that -time. The logic and behavior is identical to dealing with away time -due to idleness; it is just happening due to a recovery event rather -than a set amount of idle time. - -You can also check all the files visited by your Org agenda for -dangling clocks at any time using @kbd{M-x org-resolve-clocks @key{RET}} (or @kbd{C-c C-x C-z}). - -@anchor{Continuous clocking} -@subsubheading Continuous clocking - -@cindex continuous clocking - -@vindex org-clock-continuously -You may want to start clocking from the time when you clocked out the -previous task.

To get an overview -of the entire part of the day that is committed, you can set the -option @code{org-agenda-columns-add-appointments-to-effort-sum}. The -appointments on a day that take place over a specified time interval -are then also added to the load estimate of the day. - -Effort estimates can be used in secondary agenda filtering that is -triggered with the @kbd{/} key in the agenda (see @ref{Agenda Commands}).

Each -element may be preceded by @samp{-} to select against it, and @samp{+} is -syntactic sugar for positive selection. The AND operator @samp{&} is -optional when @samp{+} or @samp{-} is present. Here are some examples, using -only tags. - -@table @asis -@item @samp{+work-boss} -Select headlines tagged @samp{work}, but discard those also tagged -@samp{boss}. - -@item @samp{work|laptop} -Selects lines tagged @samp{work} or @samp{laptop}. - -@item @samp{work|laptop+night} -Like before, but require the @samp{laptop} lines to be tagged also -@samp{night}. -@end table - -@cindex regular expressions, with tags search -Instead of a tag, you may also specify a regular expression enclosed -in curly braces (see @ref{Regular Expressions}).

For example, the property @samp{TODO} represents the TODO -keyword of the entry. Or, the property @samp{LEVEL} represents the level -of an entry.

Valid values also include -@samp{"<now>"} for now (including time), @samp{"<today>"}, and @samp{"<tomorrow>"} -for these days at 0:00 hours, i.e., without a time specification. -You can also use strings like @samp{"<+5d>"} or @samp{"<-2m>"} with units @samp{d}, -@samp{w}, @samp{m}, and @samp{y} for day, week, month, and year, respectively. - -@item -If the comparison value is enclosed in curly braces, a regexp match -is performed, with @samp{=} meaning that the regexp matches the property -value, and @samp{<>} meaning that it does not match. -@end itemize - -So the search string in the example finds entries tagged @samp{work} but -not @samp{boss}, which also have a priority value @samp{A}, a @samp{Coffee} property -with the value @samp{unlimited}, an @samp{EFFORT} property that is numerically -smaller than 2, a @samp{With} property that is matched by the regular -expression @samp{Sarah\|Denny}, and that are scheduled on or after October -11, 2008. - -You can configure Org mode to use property inheritance during -a search, but beware that this can slow down searches considerably. -See @ref{Property Inheritance}, for details. - -For backward compatibility, and also for typing speed, there is also -a different way to test TODO states in a search. For this, terminate -the tags/property part of the search string (which may include several -terms connected with @samp{|}) with a @samp{/} and then specify a Boolean -expression just for TODO keywords. The syntax is then similar to that -for tags, but should be applied with care: for example, a positive -selection on several TODO keywords cannot meaningfully be combined -with boolean AND@. However, @emph{negative selection} combined with AND can -be meaningful. To make sure that only lines are checked that actually -have any TODO keyword (resulting in a speed-up), use @kbd{M-x org-agenda M}, or equivalently start the TODO part after the slash -with @samp{!}. Using @kbd{M-x org-agenda M} or @samp{/!} does not match -TODO keywords in a DONE state.

Simply keep all files in the correct -location, process your Org files with @code{org-publish} and let the -synchronization tool do the rest. You do not need, in this scenario, -to include attachments such as JPG, CSS or PNG files in the project -definition since the third-party tool syncs them. - -Publishing to a local directory is also much faster than to a remote -one, so that you can afford more easily to republish entire projects. -If you set @code{org-publish-use-timestamps-flag} to @code{nil}, you gain the -main benefit of re-including any changed external files such as source -example files you might include with @samp{INCLUDE} keyword.

Org can edit, format, -extract, export, and publish source code blocks. Org can also compile -and execute a source code block, then capture the results. The Org -mode literature sometimes refers to source code blocks as @emph{live code} -blocks because they can alter the content of the Org document or the -material that it exports. Users can control the ``liveliness'' of each -source code block by tweaking the header arguments (see @ref{Using Header Arguments}) for compiling, execution, extraction, and exporting. - -For editing and formatting a source code block, Org uses an -appropriate Emacs major mode that includes features specifically -designed for source code in that language. - -Org can extract one or more source code blocks and write them to one -or more source files---a process known as @emph{tangling} in literate -programming terminology. - -For exporting and publishing, Org's back-ends can format a source code -block appropriately, often with native syntax highlighting. - -For executing and compiling a source code block, the user can -configure Org to select the appropriate compiler. Org provides -facilities to collect the result of the execution or compiler output, -insert it into the Org document, and/or export it. In addition to -text results, Org can insert links to other data types, including -audio, video, and graphics. Org can also link a compiler error -message to the appropriate line in the source code block. - -An important feature of Org's management of source code blocks is the -ability to pass variables, functions, and results to one another using -a common syntax for source code blocks in any language. Although most -literate programming facilities are restricted to one language or -another, Org's language-agnostic approach lets the literate programmer -match each programming task with the appropriate computer language and -to mix them all together in a single Org document. This -interoperability among languages explains why Org's source code -management facility was named @emph{Org Babel} by its originators, Eric -Schulte and Dan Davison. - -Org mode fulfills the promise of easy verification and maintenance of -publishing reproducible research by keeping text, data, code, -configuration settings of the execution environment, the results of -the execution, and associated narratives, claims, references, and -internal and external links in a single Org document. - -@node Structure of Code Blocks -@section Structure of Code Blocks - -@cindex code block, structure -@cindex source code, block structure -@cindex @samp{NAME} keyword, in source blocks -@cindex @samp{BEGIN_SRC} - -Org offers two ways to structure source code in Org documents: in -a source code block, and directly inline.

A few standard parameters are -already recognized and acted upon before the translation function is -called: - -@table @asis -@item @samp{:skip N} -Skip the first N lines of the table. Hlines do count; include them -if they are to be skipped. - -@item @samp{:skipcols (n1 n2 ...)} -List of columns to be skipped.

I was trying to organize my notes and -projects, and using Emacs seemed to be the natural way to go. -However, having to remember eleven different commands with two or -three keys per command, only to hide and show parts of the outline -tree, that seemed entirely unacceptable to me. Also, when using -outlines to take notes, I constantly wanted to restructure the tree, -organizing it parallel to my thoughts and plans. @emph{Visibility cycling} -and @emph{structure editing} were originally implemented in the package -@samp{outline-magic.el}, but quickly moved to the more general @samp{org.el}. -As this environment became comfortable for project planning, the next -step was adding @emph{TODO entries}, basic @emph{timestamps}, and @emph{table -support}. These areas highlighted the two main goals that Org still -has today: to be a new, outline-based, plain text mode with innovative -and intuitive editing features, and to incorporate project planning -functionality directly into a notes file. - -Since the first release, literally thousands of emails to me or to the -@email{emacs-orgmode@@gnu.org, mailing list} have provided a constant stream of bug reports, feedback, -new ideas, and sometimes patches and add-on code. Many thanks to -everyone who has helped to improve this package. I am trying to keep -here a list of the people who had significant influence in shaping one -or more aspects of Org. The list may not be complete, if I have -forgotten someone, please accept my apologies and let me know. - -Before I get to this list, a few special mentions are in order: - -@table @asis -@item Bastien Guerry -Bastien has written a large number of extensions to Org (most of -them integrated into the core by now), including the @LaTeX{} exporter -and the plain list parser. His support during the early days was -central to the success of this project. Bastien also invented Worg, -helped establishing the Web presence of Org, and sponsored hosting -costs for the orgmode.org website. Bastien stepped in as maintainer -of Org between 2011 and 2013, at a time when I desperately needed -a break. - -@item Eric Schulte and Dan Davison -Eric and Dan are jointly responsible for the Org Babel system, which -turns Org into a multi-language environment for evaluating code and -doing literate programming and reproducible research. This has -become one of Org's killer features that define what Org is today. - -@item John Wiegley -John has contributed a number of great ideas and patches directly to -Org, including the attachment system (@samp{org-attach.el}), integration -with Apple Mail (@samp{org-mac-message.el}), hierarchical dependencies of -TODO items, habit tracking (@samp{org-habits.el}), and encryption -(@samp{org-crypt.el}). Also, the capture system is really an extended -copy of his great @samp{remember.el}. - -@item Sebastian Rose -Without Sebastian, the HTML/XHTML publishing of Org would be the -pitiful work of an ignorant amateur. Sebastian has pushed this part -of Org onto a much higher level. He also wrote @samp{org-info.js}, -a JavaScript program for displaying webpages derived from Org using -an Info-like or a folding interface with single-key navigation. -@end table - -See below for the full list of contributions! Again, please let me -know what I am missing here! - -@anchor{From Bastien} -@appendixsec From Bastien - -I (Bastien) have been maintaining Org between 2011 and 2013. This -appendix would not be complete without adding a few more -acknowledgments and thanks. - -I am first grateful to Carsten for his trust while handing me over the -maintainership of Org. His unremitting support is what really helped -me getting more confident over time, with both the community and the -code. - -When I took over maintainership, I knew I would have to make Org more -collaborative than ever, as I would have to rely on people that are -more knowledgeable than I am on many parts of the code. Here is -a list of the persons I could rely on, they should really be -considered co-maintainers, either of the code or the community: - -@table @asis -@item Eric Schulte -Eric is maintaining the Babel parts of Org. His reactivity here -kept me away from worrying about possible bugs here and let me focus -on other parts. - -@item Nicolas Goaziou -Nicolas is maintaining the consistency of the deepest parts of Org. -His work on @samp{org-element.el} and @samp{ox.el} has been outstanding, and -it opened the doors for many new ideas and features. He rewrote -many of the old exporters to use the new export engine, and helped -with documenting this major change. More importantly (if that's -possible), he has been more than reliable during all the work done -for Org 8.0, and always very reactive on the mailing list. - -@item Achim Gratz -Achim rewrote the building process of Org, turning some @emph{ad hoc} -tools into a flexible and conceptually clean process. He patiently -coped with the many hiccups that such a change can create for users. - -@item Nick Dokos -The Org mode mailing list would not be such a nice place without -Nick, who patiently helped users so many times. It is impossible to -overestimate such a great help, and the list would not be so active -without him. -@end table - -I received support from so many users that it is clearly impossible to -be fair when shortlisting a few of them, but Org's history would not -be complete if the ones above were not mentioned in this manual. - -@anchor{List of Contributions} -@appendixsec List of Contributions - -@itemize -@item -Russell Adams came up with the idea for drawers. - -@item -Thomas Baumann wrote @samp{ol-bbdb.el} and @samp{ol-mhe.el}. - -@item -Christophe Bataillon created the great unicorn logo that we use on -the Org mode website. - -@item -Alex Bochannek provided a patch for rounding timestamps. - -@item -Jan Böcker wrote @samp{ol-docview.el}. - -@item -Brad Bozarth showed how to pull RSS feed data into Org files. - -@item -Tom Breton wrote @samp{org-choose.el}. - -@item -Charles Cave's suggestion sparked the implementation of templates -for Remember, which are now templates for capture. - -@item -Timothy E Chapman worked on a complete overhaul of the orgmode.org -website in 2020 and helped fixing various bugs. - -@item -Pavel Chalmoviansky influenced the agenda treatment of items with -specified time. - -@item -Gregory Chernov patched support for Lisp forms into table -calculations and improved XEmacs compatibility, in particular by -porting @samp{nouline.el} to XEmacs. - -@item -Sacha Chua suggested copying some linking code from Planner. - -@item -Baoqiu Cui contributed the DocBook exporter. - -@item -Eddward DeVilla proposed and tested checkbox statistics.

But this License is not limited to -software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless -of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We -recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is -instruction or reference. - -@item -APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS - -This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, -that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can -be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice -grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, -to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The -``Document'', below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member -of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as ``you''. You accept -the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way -requiring permission under copyright law. - -A ``Modified Version'' of the Document means any work containing the -Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with -modifications and/or translated into another language. - -A ``Secondary Section'' is a named appendix or a front-matter section -of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the -publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall -subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could -fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document -is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not -explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of -historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or -of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position -regarding them. - -The ``Invariant Sections'' are certain Secondary Sections whose -titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the -notice that says that the Document is released under this License. -If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it -is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may -contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify -any Invariant Sections then there are none. - -The ``Cover Texts'' are certain short passages of text that are -listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice -that says that the Document is released under this License. -A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text -may be at most 25 words. - -A ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, -represented in a format whose specification is available to the -general public, that is suitable for revising the document -straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed -of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely -available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text -formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats -suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise -Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has -been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by -readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if -used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not -``Transparent'' is called ``Opaque''. - -Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain -ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, @LaTeX{} input format, -SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming -simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. -Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG@. -Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and -edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which -the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and -the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word -processors for output purposes only. - -The ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself, -plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the -material this License requires to appear in the title page. For -works in formats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title -Page'' means the text near the most prominent appearance of the -work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text. - -The ``publisher'' means any person or entity that distributes copies -of the Document to the public. - -A section ``Entitled XYZ'' means a named subunit of the Document -whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses -following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ -stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as -``Acknowledgements'', ``Dedications'', ``Endorsements'', or ``History''.) -To ``Preserve the Title'' of such a section when you modify the -Document means that it remains a section ``Entitled XYZ'' according -to this definition. - -The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice -which states that this License applies to the Document. These -Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in -this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other -implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and -has no effect on the meaning of this License. - -@item -VERBATIM COPYING - -You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either -commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the -copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License -applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you -add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You -may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading -or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, -you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you -distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the -conditions in section 3. - -You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, -and you may publicly display copies. - -@item -COPYING IN QUANTITY - -If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly -have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and -the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must -enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all -these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and -Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly -and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The -front cover must present the full title with all words of the title -equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the -covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as -long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these -conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects. - -If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit -legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit -reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto -adjacent pages. - -If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document -numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable -Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with -each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general -network-using public has access to download using public-standard -network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free -of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take -reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque -copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will -remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one -year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or -through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public. - -It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of -the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, -to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the -Document. - -@item -MODIFICATIONS - -You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document -under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you -release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the -Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing -distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever -possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in -the Modified Version: - -@enumerate A -@item -Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title -distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous -versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the -History section of the Document). You may use the same title as -a previous version if the original publisher of that version -gives permission. - -@item -List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or -entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the -Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal -authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has -fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement. - -@item -State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the -Modified Version, as the publisher. - -@item -Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. - -@item -Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications -adjacent to the other copyright notices. - -@item -Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license -notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version -under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the -Addendum below. - -@item -Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant -Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's -license notice. - -@item -Include an unaltered copy of this License. - -@item -Preserve the section Entitled ``History'', Preserve its Title, and -add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, -and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title -Page. If there is no section Entitled ``History'' in the Document, -create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of -the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item -describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous -sentence. - -@item -Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document -for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and -likewise the network locations given in the Document for -previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the -``History'' section. You may omit a network location for a work -that was published at least four years before the Document -itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers -to gives permission. - -@item -For any section Entitled ``Acknowledgements'' or ``Dedications'', -Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section -all the substance and tone of each of the contributor -acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein. - -@item -Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered -in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the -equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. - -@item -Delete any section Entitled ``Endorsements''. Such a section may -not be included in the Modified Version. - -@item -Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled -``Endorsements'' or to conflict in title with any Invariant -Section. - -@item -Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. -@end enumerate - -If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or -appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material -copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all -of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the -list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. -These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. - -You may add a section Entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains -nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various -parties---for example, statements of peer review or that the text has -been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a -standard. - -You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a -passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list -of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of -Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or -through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already -includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or -by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, -you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit -permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. - -The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License -give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or -imply endorsement of any Modified Version. - -@item -COMBINING DOCUMENTS - -You may combine the Document with other documents released under -this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for -modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all -of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, -unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your -combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all -their Warranty Disclaimers. - -The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and -multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single -copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name -but different contents, make the title of each such section unique -by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the -original author or publisher of that section if known, or else -a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in -the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the -combined work. - -In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled -``History'' in the various original documents, forming one section -Entitled ``History''; likewise combine any sections Entitled -``Acknowledgements'', and any sections Entitled ``Dedications''.

It contains all basic features and commands, along with -important hints for customization. It is intended for beginners who -would shy back from a 200 pages manual because of sheer size. - -@anchor{Installation} -@heading Installation - -@quotation Important -If you are using a version of Org that is part of the Emacs -distribution, please skip this section and go directly to @ref{Activation}. - -@end quotation - -If you have downloaded Org from the web, either as a distribution -@samp{.zip} or @samp{.tar} file, or as a Git archive, it is best to run it -directly from the distribution directory. You need to add the @samp{lisp/} -subdirectories to the Emacs load path. To do this, add the following -line to your Emacs init file: - -@example -(add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/orgdir/lisp") -@end example - - -@noindent -If you have been using git or a tar ball to get Org, you need to run -the following command to generate autoload information. - -@example -make autoloads -@end example - -@anchor{Activation} -@heading Activation - -Add the following lines to your Emacs init file to define @emph{global} -keys for three commands that are useful in any Emacs buffer, not just -Org buffers. Please choose suitable keys yourself. - -@lisp -(global-set-key (kbd "C-c l") #'org-store-link) -(global-set-key (kbd "C-c a") #'org-agenda) -(global-set-key (kbd "C-c c") #'org-capture) -@end lisp - -Files with extension @samp{.org} will be put into Org mode automatically. - -@anchor{Feedback} -@heading Feedback - -If you find problems with Org, or if you have questions, remarks, or -ideas about it, please mail to the Org mailing list -@email{emacs-orgmode@@gnu.org}. For information on how to submit bug -reports, see the main manual. - -@node Document Structure -@chapter Document Structure - -Org is an outliner. Outlines allow a document to be organized in -a hierarchical structure, which, least for me, is the best -representation of notes and thoughts. An overview of this structure -is achieved by folding, i.e., hiding large parts of the document to -show only the general document structure and the parts currently being -worked on. Org greatly simplifies the use of outlines by compressing -the entire show and hide functionalities into a single command, -@code{org-cycle}, which is bound to the @kbd{@key{TAB}} key. - -@menu -* Headlines:: How to typeset Org tree nodes. -* Visibility Cycling:: Show and hide, much simplified. -* Motion:: Jumping to other headlines. -* Structure Editing:: Changing sequence and level of headlines. -* Sparse Trees:: Matches embedded in context. -* Plain Lists:: Additional structure within an entry. -@end menu - -@node Headlines -@section Headlines - -Headlines define the structure of an outline tree. The headlines in -Org start on the left margin@footnote{See the variable @code{org-special-ctrl-a/e} to configure special -behavior of @kbd{C-a} and @kbd{C-e} in headlines.} with one or more stars followed by -a space. For example: - -@example -* Top level headline -** Second level -*** Third level - some text -*** Third level - more text -* Another top level headline -@end example - -Note that a headline named after @code{org-footnote-section}, which -defaults to @samp{Footnotes}, is considered as special. A subtree with -this headline will be silently ignored by exporting functions. - -Some people find the many stars too noisy and would prefer an outline -that has whitespace followed by a single star as headline starters. -See @ref{Miscellaneous} for a setup to realize this. - -@node Visibility Cycling -@section Visibility Cycling - -Outlines make it possible to hide parts of the text in the buffer. -Org uses just two commands, bound to @kbd{@key{TAB}} and -@{@{@{kbd@{S-TAB)@}@}@} to change the visibility in the buffer. - -@table @asis -@item @kbd{@key{TAB}} -@emph{Subtree cycling}: Rotate current subtree among the states - -@example -,-> FOLDED -> CHILDREN -> SUBTREE --. -'-----------------------------------' -@end example - - -When called with a prefix argument (@kbd{C-u @key{TAB}}), or with the -Shift key, global cycling is invoked. - -@item @kbd{S-@key{TAB}} -@itemx @kbd{C-u @key{TAB}} -@emph{Global cycling}: Rotate the entire buffer among the states - -@example -,-> OVERVIEW -> CONTENTS -> SHOW ALL --. -'--------------------------------------' -@end example - -@item @kbd{C-u C-u C-u @key{TAB}} -Show all, including drawers. -@end table - -When Emacs first visits an Org file, the global state is set to -OVERVIEW, i.e., only the top level headlines are visible. This can be -configured through the variable @code{org-startup-folded}, or on a per-file -basis by adding a @samp{STARTUP} keyword to @samp{overview}, @samp{content}, -@samp{showall}, @samp{showeverything} or @samp{show<n>levels} (n = 2..5) like this: - -@example -#+STARTUP: content -@end example - -@node Motion -@section Motion - -The following commands jump to other headlines in the buffer. - -@table @asis -@item @kbd{C-c C-n} -Next heading. - -@item @kbd{C-c C-p} -Previous heading. - -@item @kbd{C-c C-f} -Next heading same level. - -@item @kbd{C-c C-b} -Previous heading same level. - -@item @kbd{C-c C-u} -Backward to higher level heading. -@end table - -@node Structure Editing -@section Structure Editing - -@table @asis -@item @kbd{M-@key{RET}} -Insert new heading with same level as current. If point is in -a plain list item, a new item is created (see @ref{Plain Lists}). When -this command is used in the middle of a line, the line is split and -the rest of the line becomes the new headline@footnote{If you do not want the line to be split, customize the variable -@code{org-M-RET-may-split-line}.}. - -@item @kbd{M-S-@key{RET}} -Insert new TODO entry with same level as current heading. - -@item @kbd{@key{TAB}} in new -@itemx empty entry -In a new entry with no text yet, @kbd{@key{TAB}} cycles through -reasonable levels. - -@item @kbd{M-@key{LEFT}} -@itemx @kbd{M-@key{RIGHT}} -Promote or demote current heading by one level. - -@item @kbd{M-@key{UP}} -@itemx @kbd{M-@key{DOWN}} -Move subtree up or down, i.e., swap with previous or next subtree of -same level. - -@item @kbd{C-c C-w} -Refile entry or region to a different location. See @ref{Refile and Copy}. - -@item @kbd{C-x n s} -@itemx @kbd{C-x n w} -Narrow buffer to current subtree and widen it again. -@end table - -When there is an active region (Transient Mark mode), promotion and -demotion work on all headlines in the region. - -@node Sparse Trees -@section Sparse Trees - -An important feature of Org mode is the ability to construct @emph{sparse -trees} for selected information in an outline tree, so that the entire -document is folded as much as possible, but the selected information -is made visible along with the headline structure above it@footnote{See also the variable @code{org-show-context-detail} to decide how -much context is shown around each match.}. -Just try it out and you will see immediately how it works. - -Org mode contains several commands creating such trees, all these -commands can be accessed through a dispatcher: - -@table @asis -@item @kbd{C-c /} -This prompts for an extra key to select a sparse-tree creating -command. - -@item @kbd{C-c / r} -Occur. Prompts for a regexp and shows a sparse tree with all -matches. Each match is also highlighted; the highlights disappear -by pressing @kbd{C-c C-c}. - -The other sparse tree commands select headings based on TODO -keywords, tags, or properties and will be discussed later in this -manual. -@end table - -@node Plain Lists -@section Plain Lists - -Within an entry of the outline tree, hand-formatted lists can provide -additional structure. They also provide a way to create lists of -checkboxes (see @ref{Checkboxes}). Org supports editing such lists, and -every exporter (see @ref{Exporting}) can parse and format them. - -Org knows ordered lists, unordered lists, and description lists. - -@itemize -@item -@emph{Unordered} list items start with @samp{-}, @samp{+}, or @samp{*} as bullets. - -@item -@emph{Ordered} list items start with @samp{1.}, or @samp{1)}. - -@item -@emph{Description} list use @samp{::} to separate the @emph{term} from the -description. -@end itemize - -Items belonging to the same list must have the same indentation on the -first line. An item ends before the next line that is indented like -its bullet/number, or less. A list ends when all items are closed, or -before two blank lines. An example: - -@example -* Lord of the Rings - My favorite scenes are (in this order) - 1. The attack of the Rohirrim - 2. Eowyn's fight with the witch king - + this was already my favorite scene in the book - + I really like Miranda Otto. - Important actors in this film are: - - Elijah Wood :: He plays Frodo - - Sean Astin :: He plays Sam, Frodo's friend. -@end example - -The following commands act on items when point is in the first line of -an item (the line with the bullet or number). - -@table @asis -@item @kbd{@key{TAB}} -Items can be folded just like headline levels. - -@item @kbd{M-@key{RET}} -Insert new item at current level. With a prefix argument, force -a new heading (see @ref{Structure Editing}). - -@item @kbd{M-S-@key{RET}} -Insert a new item with a checkbox (see @ref{Checkboxes}). - -@item @kbd{M-S-@key{UP}} -@itemx @kbd{M-S-@key{DOWN}} -Move the item including subitems up/down (swap with previous/next -item of same indentation). If the list is ordered, renumbering is -automatic. - -@item @kbd{M-@key{LEFT}} -@itemx @kbd{M-@key{RIGHT}} -Decrease/increase the indentation of an item, leaving children -alone. - -@item @kbd{M-S-@key{LEFT}} -@itemx @kbd{M-S-@key{RIGHT}} -Decrease/increase the indentation of the item, including subitems. - -@item @kbd{C-c C-c} -If there is a checkbox (see @ref{Checkboxes}) in the item line, toggle -the state of the checkbox. Also verify bullets and indentation -consistency in the whole list. - -@item @kbd{C-c -} -Cycle the entire list level through the different itemize/enumerate -bullets (@samp{-}, @samp{+}, @samp{*}, @samp{1.}, @samp{1)}). -@end table - -@node Tables -@chapter Tables - -Org comes with a fast and intuitive table editor. Spreadsheet-like -calculations are supported in connection with the Emacs Calc package -(see @ref{Top,GNU Emacs Calculator Manual,,calc,}). - -Org makes it easy to format tables in plain ASCII@. Any line with @samp{|} -as the first non-whitespace character is considered part of a table. -@samp{|} is also the column separator. A table might look like this: - -@example -| Name | Phone | Age | -|-------+-------+-----| -| Peter | 1234 | 17 | -| Anna | 4321 | 25 | -@end example - -A table is re-aligned automatically each time you press @kbd{@key{TAB}} -or @kbd{@key{RET}} or @kbd{C-c C-c} inside the table. -@kbd{@key{TAB}} also moves to the next field (@kbd{@key{RET}} to the -next row) and creates new table rows at the end of the table or before -horizontal lines. The indentation of the table is set by the first -line. Any line starting with @samp{|-} is considered as a horizontal -separator line and will be expanded on the next re-align to span the -whole table width. So, to create the above table, you would only type - -@example -|Name|Phone|Age| -|- -@end example - - -@noindent -and then press @kbd{@key{TAB}} to align the table and start filling in -fields. Even faster would be to type @samp{|Name|Phone|Age} followed by -@kbd{C-c @key{RET}}. - -When typing text into a field, Org treats @kbd{DEL}, -@kbd{Backspace}, and all character keys in a special way, so that -inserting and deleting avoids shifting other fields. Also, when -typing @emph{immediately after point was moved into a new field with -@kbd{@key{TAB}}, @kbd{S-@key{TAB}} or @kbd{@key{RET}}}, the field is -automatically made blank. - -@anchor{Creation and conversion} -@heading Creation and conversion - -@table @asis -@item @kbd{C-c |} -Convert the active region to table. If every line contains at least -one @kbd{@key{TAB}} character, the function assumes that the material -is tab separated. If every line contains a comma, comma-separated -values (CSV) are assumed. If not, lines are split at whitespace -into fields. - -If there is no active region, this command creates an empty Org -table. But it is easier just to start typing, like @kbd{| N a m e | P h o n e | A g e @key{RET} | - @key{TAB}}. -@end table - -@anchor{Re-aligning and field motion} -@heading Re-aligning and field motion - -@table @asis -@item @kbd{C-c C-c} -Re-align the table without moving point. - -@item @kbd{@key{TAB}} -Re-align the table, move to the next field. Creates a new row if -necessary. - -@item @kbd{S-@key{TAB}} -Re-align, move to previous field. - -@item @kbd{@key{RET}} -Re-align the table and move down to next row. Creates a new row if -necessary. - -@item @kbd{S-@key{UP}} -@itemx @kbd{S-@key{DOWN}} -@itemx @kbd{S-@key{LEFT}} -@itemx @kbd{S-@key{RIGHT}} -Move a cell up, down, left, and right by swapping with adjacent -cell. -@end table - -@anchor{Column and row editing} -@heading Column and row editing - -@table @asis -@item @kbd{M-@key{LEFT}}, @kbd{M-@key{RIGHT}} -Move the current column left/right. - -@item @kbd{M-S-@key{LEFT}} -Kill the current column. - -@item @kbd{M-S-@key{RIGHT}} -Insert a new column to the left of point position. - -@item @kbd{M-@key{UP}}, @kbd{M-@key{DOWN}} -Move the current row up/down. - -@item @kbd{M-S-@key{UP}} -Kill the current row or horizontal line. - -@item @kbd{M-S-@key{DOWN}} -Insert a new row above the current row. With a prefix argument, the -line is created below the current one. - -@item @kbd{C-c -} -Insert a horizontal line below current row. With a prefix argument, -the line is created above the current line. - -@item @kbd{C-c @key{RET}} -Insert a horizontal line below current row, and move the point into -the row below that line. - -@item @kbd{C-c ^} -Sort the table lines in the region. The position of point indicates -the column to be used for sorting, and the range of lines is the -range between the nearest horizontal separator lines, or the entire -table. -@end table - -@node Hyperlinks -@chapter Hyperlinks - -Like HTML, Org provides links inside a file, external links to other -files, Usenet articles, emails, and much more. - -Org recognizes plain URIs, possibly wrapped within angle brackets, and -activate them as clickable links. The general link format, however, -looks like this: - -@example -[[LINK][DESCRIPTION]] -@end example - - -@noindent -or alternatively - -@example -[[LINK]] -@end example - - -Once a link in the buffer is complete, with all brackets present, Org -changes the display so that @samp{DESCRIPTION} is displayed instead of -@samp{[[LINK][DESCRIPTION]]} and @samp{LINK} is displayed instead of @samp{[[LINK]]}. -To edit the invisible @var{LINK} part, use @kbd{C-c C-l} -with the point on the link. - -@anchor{Internal links} -@heading Internal links - -If the link does not look like a URL, it is considered to be internal -in the current file. The most important case is a link like -@samp{[[#my-custom-id]]} which links to the entry with the @samp{CUSTOM_ID} property -@samp{my-custom-id}. - -Links such as @samp{[[My Target]]} or @samp{[[My Target][Find my target]]} lead -to a text search in the current file for the corresponding target, -which looks like @samp{<<My Target>>}. - -@anchor{External Links} -@heading External Links - -Org supports links to files, websites, Usenet and email messages, BBDB -database entries and links to both IRC conversations and their logs. -External links are URL-like locators.

CANCELED(c@@) -@end example - - -@noindent -defines TODO keywords and fast access keys, and also request that -a time is recorded when the entry is set to @samp{DONE}, and that a note is -recorded when switching to @samp{WAIT} or @samp{CANCELED}. The same syntax -works also when setting @code{org-todo-keywords}. - -@node Priorities -@section Priorities - -If you use Org mode extensively, you may end up with enough TODO items -that it starts to make sense to prioritize them. Prioritizing can be -done by placing a @emph{priority cookie} into the headline of a TODO item, -like this - -@example -*** TODO [#A] Write letter to Sam Fortune -@end example - - -Org mode supports three priorities: @samp{A}, @samp{B}, and @samp{C}. @samp{A} is the -highest, @samp{B} the default if none is given. Priorities make -a difference only in the agenda. - -@table @asis -@item @kbd{C-c ,} -Set the priority of the current headline.

You can do this by creating an outline tree -below a TODO item, with detailed subtasks on the tree. To keep an -overview of the fraction of subtasks that have already been marked -as done, insert either @samp{[/]} or @samp{[%]} anywhere in the headline. These -cookies are updated each time the TODO status of a child changes, or -when pressing @kbd{C-c C-c} on the cookie. For example: - -@example -* Organize Party [33%] -** TODO Call people [1/2] -*** TODO Peter -*** DONE Sarah -** TODO Buy food -** DONE Talk to neighbor -@end example - -@node Checkboxes -@section Checkboxes - -Every item in a plain list (see @ref{Plain Lists}) can be made into -a checkbox by starting it with the string @samp{[ ]}. Checkboxes are not -included into the global TODO list, so they are often great to split -a task into a number of simple steps. - -Here is an example of a checkbox list. - -@example -* TODO Organize party [2/4] - - [-] call people [1/2] - - [ ] Peter - - [X] Sarah - - [X] order food -@end example - -Checkboxes work hierarchically, so if a checkbox item has children -that are checkboxes, toggling one of the children checkboxes makes the -parent checkbox reflect if none, some, or all of the children are -checked. - -The following commands work with checkboxes: - -@table @asis -@item @kbd{C-c C-c} -Toggle checkbox status or---with prefix argument---checkbox presence -at point. - -@item @kbd{M-S-@key{RET}} -Insert a new item with a checkbox. This works only if point is -already in a plain list item (see @ref{Plain Lists}). -@end table - -@node Tags -@chapter Tags - -An excellent way to implement labels and contexts for -cross-correlating information is to assign @emph{tags} to headlines. Org -mode has extensive support for tags. - -Every headline can contain a list of tags; they occur at the end of -the headline. Tags are normal words containing letters, numbers, @samp{_}, -and @samp{@@}. Tags must be preceded and followed by a single colon, e.g., -@samp{:work:}. Several tags can be specified, as in @samp{:work:urgent:}. Tags -by default are in bold face with the same color as the headline. - -@anchor{Tag inheritance} -@heading Tag inheritance - -Tags make use of the hierarchical structure of outline trees. If -a heading has a certain tag, all subheadings inherit the tag as well. -For example, in the list - -@example -* Meeting with the French group :work: -** Summary by Frank :boss:notes: -*** TODO Prepare slides for him :action: -@end example - -@noindent -the final heading has the tags @samp{work}, @samp{boss}, @samp{notes}, and @samp{action} -even though the final heading is not explicitly marked with those -tags. - -You can also set tags that all entries in a file should inherit just -as if these tags were defined in a hypothetical level zero that -surrounds the entire file. Use a line like this@footnote{As with all these in-buffer settings, pressing @kbd{C-c C-c} activates any changes in the line.}: - -@example -#+FILETAGS: :Peter:Boss:Secret: -@end example - -@anchor{Setting tags} -@heading Setting tags - -Tags can simply be typed into the buffer at the end of a headline. -After a colon, @kbd{M-@key{TAB}} offers completion on tags. There is -also a special command for inserting tags: - -@table @asis -@item @kbd{C-c C-q} -Enter new tags for the current headline. Org mode either offers -completion or a special single-key interface for setting tags, see -below. - -@item @kbd{C-c C-c} -When point is in a headline, this does the same as @kbd{C-c C-q}. -@end table - -Org supports tag insertion based on a @emph{list of tags}. By default this -list is constructed dynamically, containing all tags currently used in -the buffer. You may also globally specify a hard list of tags with -the variable @code{org-tag-alist}. Finally you can set the default tags -for a given file using the @samp{TAGS} keyword, like - -@example -#+TAGS: @@work @@home @@tennisclub -#+TAGS: laptop car pc sailboat -@end example - - -By default Org mode uses the standard minibuffer completion facilities -for entering tags. However, it also implements another, quicker, tag -selection method called @emph{fast tag selection}. This allows you to -select and deselect tags with just a single key press. For this to -work well you should assign unique letters to most of your commonly -used tags. You can do this globally by configuring the variable -@code{org-tag-alist} in your Emacs init file. For example, you may find -the need to tag many items in different files with @samp{@@home}. In this -case you can set something like: - -@lisp -(setq org-tag-alist '(("@@work" . ?w) ("@@home" . ?h) ("laptop" . ?l))) -@end lisp - -If the tag is only relevant to the file you are working on, then you -can instead set the @samp{TAGS} keyword as: - -@example -#+TAGS: @@work(w) @@home(h) @@tennisclub(t) laptop(l) pc(p) -@end example - -@anchor{Tag groups} -@heading Tag groups - -A tag can be defined as a @emph{group tag} for a set of other tags.

You can override this -and force publishing of all files by giving a prefix argument to any -of the commands above. - -@node Working with Source Code -@chapter Working with Source Code - -Org mode provides a number of features for working with source code, -including editing of code blocks in their native major mode, -evaluation of code blocks, tangling of code blocks, and exporting code -blocks and their results in several formats. - -A source code block conforms to this structure: - -@example -#+NAME: <name> -#+BEGIN_SRC <language> <switches> <header arguments> - <body> -#+END_SRC -@end example - -@noindent -where: - -@itemize -@item -@samp{<name>} is a string used to uniquely name the code block, - -@item -@samp{<language>} specifies the language of the code block, e.g., -@samp{emacs-lisp}, @samp{shell}, @samp{R}, @samp{python}, etc., - -@item -@samp{<switches>} can be used to control export of the code block, - -@item -@samp{<header arguments>} can be used to control many aspects of code -block behavior as demonstrated below, - -@item -@samp{<body>} contains the actual source code. -@end itemize - -Use @kbd{C-c '} to edit the current code block. It opens a new -major mode edit buffer containing the body of the source code block, -ready for any edits. Use @kbd{C-c '} again to close the buffer -and return to the Org buffer. - -@anchor{Using header arguments} -@heading Using header arguments - -A header argument is specified with an initial colon followed by the -argument's name in lowercase. - -Header arguments can be set in several ways; Org prioritizes them in -case of overlaps or conflicts by giving local settings a higher -priority. - -@table @asis -@item System-wide header arguments -Those are specified by customizing @code{org-babel-default-header-args} -variable, or, for a specific language @var{LANG} -@code{org-babel-default-header-args:LANG}. - -@item Header arguments in properties -You can set them using @samp{header-args} property (see @ref{Properties})---or -@samp{header-args:LANG} for language @var{LANG}. Header arguments -set through properties drawers apply at the sub-tree level on down. - -@item Header arguments in code blocks -Header arguments are most commonly set at the source code block -level, on the @samp{BEGIN_SRC} line: - -@example -#+NAME: factorial -#+BEGIN_SRC haskell :results silent :exports code :var n=0 - fac 0 = 1 - fac n = n * fac (n-1) -#+END_SRC -@end example - -Code block header arguments can span multiple lines using @samp{HEADER} -keyword on each line. -@end table - -@anchor{Evaluating code blocks} -@heading Evaluating code blocks - -Use @kbd{C-c C-c} to evaluate the current code block and insert -its results in the Org document. By default, evaluation is only -turned on for @samp{emacs-lisp} code blocks, however support exists for -evaluating blocks in many languages. For a complete list of supported -languages see the manual. The following shows a code block and its -results. - -@example -#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp - (+ 1 2 3 4) -#+END_SRC - -#+RESULTS: -: 10 -@end example - -The following syntax is used to pass arguments to code blocks using -the @samp{var} header argument. - -@example -:var NAME=ASSIGN -@end example - - -@noindent -@var{NAME} is the name of the variable bound in the code block -body. @var{ASSIGN} is a literal value, such as a string, -a number, a reference to a table, a list, a literal example, another -code block---with or without arguments---or the results of evaluating -a code block. - -@anchor{Results of evaluation} -@heading Results of evaluation - -How Org handles results of a code block execution depends on many -header arguments working together. The primary determinant, however, -is the @samp{results} header argument. It controls the @emph{collection}, -@emph{type}, @emph{format}, and @emph{handling} of code block results. - -@table @asis -@item Collection -How the results should be collected from the code block. You may -choose either @samp{output} or @samp{value} (the default). - -@item Type -What result types to expect from the execution of the code block. -You may choose among @samp{table}, @samp{list}, @samp{scalar}, and @samp{file}. Org -tries to guess it if you do not provide it. - -@item Format -How Org processes results. Some possible values are @samp{code}, -@samp{drawer}, @samp{html}, @samp{latex}, @samp{link}, and @samp{raw}. - -@item Handling -How to insert the results once properly formatted. Allowed values -are @samp{silent}, @samp{replace} (the default), @samp{append}, or @samp{prepend}. -@end table - -Code blocks which output results to files---e.g.: graphs, diagrams and -figures---can accept a @samp{:file FILENAME} header argument, in which case -the results are saved to the named file, and a link to the file is -inserted into the buffer. - -@anchor{Exporting code blocks} -@heading Exporting code blocks - -It is possible to export the @emph{code} of code blocks, the @emph{results} of -code block evaluation, @emph{both} the code and the results of code block -evaluation, or @emph{none}. Org defaults to exporting @emph{code} for most -languages. - -The @samp{exports} header argument is to specify if that part of the Org -file is exported to, say, HTML or @LaTeX{} formats. It can be set to -either @samp{code}, @samp{results}, @samp{both} or @samp{none}. - -@anchor{Extracting source code} -@heading Extracting source code - -Use @kbd{C-c C-v t} to create pure source code files by -extracting code from source blocks in the current buffer. This is -referred to as ``tangling''---a term adopted from the literate -programming community. During tangling of code blocks their bodies -are expanded using @code{org-babel-expand-src-block}, which can expand both -variable and ``Noweb'' style references. In order to tangle a code -block it must have a @samp{tangle} header argument, see the manual for -details. - -@node Miscellaneous -@chapter Miscellaneous - - - -@anchor{Completion} -@heading Completion - -Org has in-buffer completions with @kbd{M-@key{TAB}}. No minibuffer is -involved. Type one or more letters and invoke the hot key to complete -the text in-place. - -For example, this command will complete @TeX{} symbols after @samp{\}, TODO -keywords at the beginning of a headline, and tags after @samp{:} in -a headline. - -@anchor{Structure Templates} -@heading Structure Templates - -To quickly insert empty structural blocks, such as @samp{#+BEGIN_SRC} -@dots{} @samp{#+END_SRC}, or to wrap existing text in such a block, use - -@table @asis -@item @kbd{C-c C-,} -Prompt for a type of block structure, and insert the block at point. -If the region is active, it is wrapped in the block. -@end table - -@anchor{Clean view} -@heading Clean view - -Org's default outline with stars and no indents can become too -cluttered for short documents. For @emph{book-like} long documents, the -effect is not as noticeable. Org provides an alternate stars and -indentation scheme, as shown on the right in the following table. It -uses only one star and indents text to line with the heading: - -@example -* Top level headline | * Top level headline -** Second level | * Second level -*** Third level | * Third level - some text | some text -*** Third level | * Third level - more text | more text -* Another top level headline | * Another top level headline -@end example - -This kind of view can be achieved dynamically at display time using -Org Indent mode (@kbd{M-x org-indent-mode @key{RET}}), which prepends -intangible space to each line. You can turn on Org Indent mode for -all files by customizing the variable @code{org-startup-indented}, or you -can turn it on for individual files using - -@example -#+STARTUP: indent -@end example - - -If you want the indentation to be hard space characters so that the -plain text file looks as similar as possible to the Emacs display, Org -supports you by helping to indent (with @kbd{@key{TAB}}) text below -each headline, by hiding leading stars, and by only using levels 1, 3, -etc to get two characters indentation for each level. To get this -support in a file, use - -@example -#+STARTUP: hidestars odd -@end example - -@bye
