org-mode

For my global TODO list, I am showing breadcrumbs as suggested here : (concat \"[ \"(org-format-outline-path (org-get-outline-path)) \" ]\") ") to produce following: I would like to show only the second level of project breadcrumb. So in this case, I would only display [Project A] . I think if I can make a function that can extract the second level, I just need to prepend with %? so that [Tasks] does not appear for Tasks, but only project names would appear for Projects. What would be an ideal way of extracting the second level? All you have to do to get the second element of (org-get-outline

I use the following code in .emacs file to set default publish behavior. I put the org base directory in difference locations for difference computers: ;; define machine specific directories storing my org files (cond ((system-name-is-home) (setq org-dir "/data/org")) ((system-name-is-work) (setq org-dir "~/org"))) Thus I'd like to use a variable to specify :base-directory to org-dir instead of hard-coding it as "~/org" . How can I do that? (require 'org-publish) (setq org-publish-project-alist '( ("org-notes" :base-directory "~/org" :base-extension "org" :publishing-directory "~/tmp/"

I have a large journal file with date entries like this: [2011-06-23 Thu] some text [2011-06-22 Wed] some more text [... 12MB of text later ...] [2000-01-01 Sat] first entry I would like to be able to configure org-mode so that only the last 3 months are visible, whereas older entries are collapsed, and are only expanded when I need to. Is there a way of setting this up automatically so that every new day makes the 3 month + 1 day old entry be collapsed next time? As it is now, it's impossible for me to use, because it takes more than a minute to load the document. phils With 12MB of text,

In Orgmode, is there a way to tangle just the blocks in subtree matching (or not matching) a specific tag ? For instance with the following code * A #+BEGIN_SRC c printf("Not exported"); #+END_SRC * B :D: #+BEGIN_SRC c printf("Exported"); #+END_SRC exporting along tag D , the tangle C file will only contains printf("Exported"); I'm using org-mode to organise my emacs config, and my goal is to derive different configs from the master one emacs-config.org . (for instance a lightconfig by marking just the specific) To achieve this behavior you can make use of the fact that aside from yes and no ,
