Using capture templates like the one below, I can add entries to different headlines in a file. How can I manually enter a headline during capture, instead of setting up each headline to a key in the .emacs file like I am now doing? (setq org-capture-templates '( ("l" "Log" entry (file+headline "c:/Org/log.org" "Log") "\n\n** %?\n<%<%Y-%m-%d %a %T>>" :empty-lines 1)) I don't believe you can have it prompt for the headline on capture. You can however refile from within the capture window which should result in the desired behaviour. I would define a catch-all target headline/file so that if you

I've been experimenting with the org-babel tutorial that describes how to put the bulk of your emacs init.el file into an org file. However, I would like to use org-mode 8 (mainly for the new exporter) and I'm on gnu emacs 24.3.1 (for windows) which comes with org-mode 7.9 built-in, so I have org-mode installed from the elpa package manager instead of using the built-in version. My problem is that emacs loads the org-mode that comes with emacs rather than the one I have installed in elpa. Is there a way to load the elpa org-mode? Here is my init.el, modified from the org-babel tutorial to

In Emacs org-mode, how would I instruct org-mode to make HTML code blocks folded by default? So that when I open an org file they are folded? org-mode provides this feature out of the box. You can set it globally by customizing the variable org-hide-block-startup . To set this for a single file, add #+STARTUP: hideblocks To the header. Here's the relevant section of the manual 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21540593/in-org-mode-how-to-make-code-blocks-folded-by-default

I'm using Emacs 23.4.1 and Org-Mode 8.0.6 In my org file I have the estimated number of hours that a task will take using the Effort property of the associated heading. For example: * My Tasks ** TODO Read a book... ** TODO Watch a film... ** TODO Learn org-mode :PROPERTIES: :Effort: 2:00 :END: Then I can switch to column view and view the total time estimated for all of "my tasks". I do this by adding the following line to my org file: #+COLUMNS: %55ITEM(Details) %5Effort(Time){:} When the total number of hours is greater than 24, then the total is displayed in terms of days and hours, e.g.

It is possible to define a macro in an org file as follow: #+MACRO: macroname <here comes the body of the macro> Is it possible to define a macro that contains line breaks? I.e., something like: #+MACRO: macroname line 1 of macro line 2 of macro In particular, this macro will be expanded to line 1 of macro line 2 of macro My motivation is to have a macro that expands to a block of text which contains, for instance, two paragraphs. Not only is this possible, it's quite easy to do. You just need to be creative about how you insert the newline. I make use of Org Babel to hack the macros. The

In an Emacs org-mode file, when I click on a PDF the file opens in a PDF viewer. Similarly, when I click on a URL it opens in a web browser. But when I click on a path to an image file, the byte stream opens as text in the editor. How do I configure Emacs/org-mode to open images with a specified application, say an image editor or a browser? Jérôme Radix In org-mode, this is org-file-apps that control what to do when clicking on a URL-like text. It is configured by default to : ((auto-mode . emacs) ("\\.mm\\'" . default) ("\\.x?html?\\'" . default) ("\\.pdf\\'" . default)) As said in org-file

Currently, I have my global TODO list shown as follows thanks to erikstokes : (org-agenda-prefix-format " %i %?-12(concat \"[ \"(org-format-outline-path (list (nth 1 (org-get-outline-path)))) \" ]\") "))) which outputs: for org layout: However, as you can see, for Task A, even though there is nothing in the project, it still shows up on the list. describe-variable for org-agenda-prefix-format says : If the first character after `%' is a question mark, the entire field will only be included if the corresponding value applies to the current entry. This is useful for fields which should have
