(custom-set-variables ;; ;; non-Org customizations omitted ... ;; ;; ;; some customized agenda commands, probably not widely useful: ;; '(org-agenda-custom-commands (quote (("A" "Agenda + NEXT + STARTED" ((agenda "" nil) (tags-todo "NEXT" nil) (todo "STARTED" nil)) nil) ("S" "TODO list, skip unscheduled and :waiting:" alltodo "" ((org-agenda-skip-function (quote (org-agenda-skip-entry-if (quote unscheduled) (quote regexp) ":waiting:"))))) ("U" "TODO list, skip scheduled and :waiting:" alltodo "" ((org-agenda-skip-function (quote (org-agenda-skip-entry-if (quote scheduled) (quote regexp) ":waiting:")))))))) ;; '(org-agenda-log-mode-items (quote (closed state))) '(org-agenda-sorting-strategy (quote ((agenda time-up category-up priority-down) (todo category-up tag-up) (tags category-keep priority-down) (search category-keep)))) '(org-completion-use-ido t) '(org-export-latex-remove-from-headlines (quote (:todo nil :priority t :tags t))) '(org-export-with-LaTeX-fragments t) '(org-log-done (quote time)) '(org-todo-state-tags-triggers (quote (("STARTED" ("NEXT"))))) ) I also added a new class "myarticle" to org-export-latex-classes that is the same as "article" without the a4paper option. I would vote for dropping the a4paper option from the default class, and let the papersize be handled by the local TeX customization. -- Best, Hsiu-Khuern.
