org-mode

I use an Org file to keep track of my activities, because it's often that I am loosing track of what actually I am aiming to do :) Now, I would like to reserved a top buffer window with only 5 lines tall and show the narrowed todo from that org file. All other window/buffer activites will not touch that static/pinned buffer. Is there a way to achieve that result??? Thanks! EDITED : Can we make that certain buffer to have different background Color? I pressume it's not, because all we have is set-background-color... I hope I am wrong.. If you clock in to the Org TODO item, that task will be

I am facing the following problem: Org mode has the customizable variable org-agenda-files . The files listed by absolute path under this variable are used for building the org agenda window. If an element in the list is a directory, then all .org files matching the org-agenda-regex are processed to build the agenda view. On the other hand there is also another customizable variable: org-directory . Shockingly though, if org-agenda-files is undefined, the agenda view does not try to use the matching .org files under org-directory . Also, listing the paths of the agenda files relative to org

I am sure some of you may have gathered (from my recent barrage of questions) that I am setting up org-mode on emacs and walking through Brent Hansen's impressive org set up . He is a clocking fanatic, and I like a lot of the stuff he does to track time spent on projects. I (think) haven't messed up in setting things up, but whenever I try to clock in our out of a task I get an error with a lot of gibberish (reported below). I've tried to see if there are some patterns to how the error emerges but am unable to discover them. They seem to happen pretty often but not all the time which makes

How can I execute very simple Python-Code in Emacs' Org Mode? The first example works fine, however I can't make it give me the result of simplest computations: ; works #+begin_src python def foo(x): if x>0: return x+10 else: return x-1 return foo(50) #+end_src #+RESULTS: : 60 ; does not work #+begin_src python 1+1 #+end_src #+RESULTS: : None ; does not work #+begin_src python print(1+1) #+end_src #+RESULTS: : None I set up Org Mode using the following lines: ;; enable python for in-buffer evaluation (org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '((python . t))) ;; all python code be

In org-mode, a line starting with a colon is formatted as source code. ( http://orgmode.org/manual/Literal-examples.html ) In literate Haskell, source code lines start with a greater then sign. I want to write literate Haskell with org-mode markdown, my current preferred format. As I assume that I cannot change the Haskell compiler, my question is: Can I somehow make the greater than sign a code-line marker in org mode? (I tried to find it myself, but as org.el is a 865k file, 22k loc, I'm still lost.) Not an exact answer to your question, but an example of how I write literate Haskell using
