org-scraps Notes 6CBD47FB-80AD-41DC-9E0C-482FE1C230E6

  • About
    • org-scraps is a collection of Org-Mode demonstrations published by Eric Schulte. All of my experience with Org-Mode Literate Programming is working on my Emacs configuration for Literate Programming. Wanting to address my limited experience I am working through each example in org-scraps. Org-Scraps is weaved to HTML files published here.
  • Approach
    • Evaluate each example.
    • Verify identical result.
    • Update notes on approach.
    • After every reconfiguration re-evaluate DONE examples to verify identical result.
    • Scraps are under-documented. Important ideas are explored often without explicit mention. Sometimes it is obvious; other times not.
  • simple short R block
    • “value table org replace” is probably the best :results configuration for source blocks. Replace table with scalar for in-line source blocks.
  • two blocks and a table
    • Programmatically create tables with org-sbe and #+TBLFM.
  • a table with tags
    • Special blocks like TBLNAME are taggable, for example with :noexport:.
  • shell script output not in table
    • Evaluating a sh SB generates a table with the captured output from echo, with 1 row for each call.
    • Scalar output demands replaceable formatting.
  • space around exported code blocks
    • org-babel-remove-result works no matter where the RESULT block is located. It doesn’t have to immediately follow the Source-Block.
  • scheme sessions
    • ob-scheme allows two sessions with the same name when they were started with different interpreters.

Migrating to Org2Blog

WordPress is a powerful and satisfying writing and publishing platform. After learning Org-Mode, I wanted to use Org-Mode for writing and WordPress for publishing. Org2Blog makes that easy.

WordPress easily exports your posts to XML. Org2Blog-Importers converts them to Org-Mode via Pandoc. Tonight I converted them here. Any future modifications belong in these documents with publishing to WordPress.

I tested both publishing new posts and modifying and re-publishing old posts and both worked correctly.

It seems like with a bit of extra (scriptable?) work you could remove both
disadvantages.
Why can't you use method (a) above, and then DOCX -> Org via pandoc (with
--accept-all option)?
I know pandoc introduce some of its own changes to the Org syntax but not the
document itself. You can get around this. You can remove the pandoc-generated
changes automagically so that only co-author changes appear in Org format,
which you can then use with your (b) above and emacs ediff.
Original: Your Org source
A: Org -> DOCX for co-authors (using pandoc)
B: Org -> DOCX -> Org (using pandoc).
C: A -> Org (using pandoc and --accept-all-changes)
D: B-Original
The difference between B and Original are pandoc-introduced changes that you do
not want. Ignore/remove these changes from C, call it D and then the difference
between D and the Original are your co-author comments. Now your authors can
edit DOCX with Track Changes and you can work on those edits with Emacs ediff.
  -k.

Uniquely Name Source-Blocks and Headline IDs in Org-Mode

Always name all of your Source-Blocks and uniquely ID Headlines in Org-Mode. It is the only way to make Literate Programming pleasant and predictable. At the very least you will understand what is happening during tangling.

Org-Mode Release 8.3

Org 8.3 is now out.
