From a36dba46a63d7d879bf2faf3c4c885b9ea3e28ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Adolf Date: Sun, 14 Apr 2024 18:14:05 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] lisp/org-colview.el: Add formatter parameter to colview dynamic block * lisp/org-colview.el (org-dblock-write:column view): Factor out the existing formatting code to new function `org-columns-dblock-write-default', and honour new dblock parameter :formatter for specifying a different formatting function. (org-columns-dblock-write-default): New function with current formatting code. (org-columns--capture-view): Amend docstring to better explain the format of the data being passed to the formatting function. (org-clock-clocktable-formatter): New option to define a global default formatting function, defaulting to the current behaviour. * doc/org-manual.org (Capturing column view): Describe new :formatter parameter. * etc/ORG-NEWS (New option ~org-columns-dblock-formatter~): Announce new option. (=colview= dynamic block supports custom formatting function): Describe new custom formatting function feature. --- doc/org-manual.org | 7 +++++++ etc/ORG-NEWS | 29 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ lisp/org-colview.el | 41 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ 3 files changed, 71 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/org-manual.org b/doc/org-manual.org index d24230568..000783772 100644 --- a/doc/org-manual.org +++ b/doc/org-manual.org @@ -6014,6 +6014,13 @@ This dynamic block has the following parameters: Specify a column attribute (see [[*Column attributes]]) for the dynamic block. +- =:formatter= :: + + #+cindex: @samp{formatter}, dynamic block parameter + #+vindex: org-columns-dblock-formatter + A function to format column view data and insert it into the buffer. + See the option ~org-columns-dblock-formatter~. + The following commands insert or update the dynamic block: - ~org-columns-insert-dblock~ :: diff --git a/etc/ORG-NEWS b/etc/ORG-NEWS index dbf849422..84ea7cde9 100644 --- a/etc/ORG-NEWS +++ b/etc/ORG-NEWS @@ -999,6 +999,16 @@ even though it does not have its own ID.
