I like org-mode, and I like Auctex mode and both are major modes so it's
not possible use both simultaneous.
I'd like to write scientific text in LaTeX using org-mode way:
% Section: Importance of This
\section{Importance of This}
%% What is it "This"
To talk about \emph{this} is important look to several factors:
%%% "This" depends on "That"
\emph{That} is very important in \emph{this} and bla, bla, bla...
%%% This depends on "These"
Also, \emph{These} is another. bla bla bla...
%%% This is not "another".
And don't forget another has anything.
%%%% SubIdea
blablabla
% is the comment in LaTeX and is the outline of my ideas. And the text
associated to every headline is the text of the article. With org-mode,
I can sort ideas (and lines of text associated) moving subtrees.
org-mode relate ideas with text.
% char is LaTeX comment so LaTeX ignores until the end of line.
The problem is org-mode only works with star '*' character to mark
headlines and LaTeX would print lots of star in the text. org-mode LaTeX
export is not enough good for this idea, because every headline in
org-mode becomes a headline in LaTeX and as you can see in my example
this is not always the better. The export org-mode to LaTeX of this
example is:
\section{Section: Importance of This}
\section{Importance of This}
\subsection{What is it "This"}
To talk about \emph{this} is important look to several factors:
\subsubsection{"This" depends on "That"}
\emph{That} is very important in \emph{this} and bla, bla, bla...
\subsubsection{This depends on "These"}
Also, \emph{These} is another. bla bla bla...
\subsubsection{This is not "another".}
And don't forget another has anything.
\paragraph{SubIdea}
blablabla
When the desired objetive is put everything in a paragraph:
\section{Importance of This}
To talk about \emph{this} is important look to several factors:
\emph{That} is very important in \emph{this} and bla, bla, bla...
Also, \emph{These} is another. bla bla bla...
And don't forget another has anything.
blablabla
etc.
Before and after of send email to org-mode mail list, I read source code
and I thought star character was hard coded in it. (IMHO star char must
be a configuration var). But I wanted to hear the opinion of experts
from the maillist before doing anything.
So, I created two elisp functions to make a translation.:
(defun org2latex ()
"Convert star to comments in LaTeX"
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (search-forward-regexp "^\*+" nil t)
; (while (search-backward "*" (beginning-of-line) t)
; (replace-match "%" nil t))
(let ((finalsearch (point)))
(move-beginning-of-line nil)
(while (search-forward "*" finalsearch t)
(replace-match "%" nil t))
)
)
)
(latex-mode)
)
(defun latex2org ()
"Convert comments in LaTeX to stars in org-mode"
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (search-forward-regexp "^%+" nil t)
; (while (search-backward "%" (beginning-of-line) t)
; (replace-match "*" nil t))
(let ((finalsearch (point)))
(move-beginning-of-line nil)
(while (search-forward "%" finalsearch t)
(replace-match "*" nil t))
)
)
)
;doesn't work. I want open/see the currently (sub)tree
(let ((position (point)))
(org-mode)
(goto-char position)
)
)
I'm a newbie with elisp. This works but:
1.- I don't spend to much time with search-backward, and didn't work for
me. So, I had to make a detour with search-forward.
2.- From Latex2org when I start org-mode, All trees are closed. I'd like
keep open the tree in the cursor.
That all. I hope these functions can help someone or inspire to solve a
similar problem. To make programs?
Again, I'm not in maillist. Please send me a copy to my email.
