[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 638 bytes --] Hi, I am new to org-mode ( I tried org-mode a year back for a few days, and now again I am trying it.) but have been a power emacs user for more than 13 years. Know enough emacs-lisp to do the normal things. I installed org-mode 6.18c on top of 22.1.1. I would like to get the display look like the screenshot at the orgmode.org main page. In particular, 1. The extra stars in the beginning should be avoided. 2. I should be able to display and manipulate checkboxes. Could someone tell me what variables I need to set for that? I know that RTFM is a good answer. I tried it, but didn't find the answer easily :) - Umesh [-- Attachment #1.2: Type: text/html, Size: 755 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 204 bytes --] _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Fundamentally it's still as simple but so many usability and convenience features have been added. If you used Org briefly earlier then perhaps you may want to check out what has been added since at http://orgmode.org/Changes.html. > but have been a power emacs user for more than 13 years.

I tried it, but didn't find the answer > easily :) I would say you did not try hard enough. :) I went to http://orgmode.org/manual/index.html and searched for "stars" to get the answer to the first questions, and searched for "checkboxes" to get the answer for the second. Org manual is really really good; do try it. Of course, you may also find the tutorials[1], FAQ[2] and Worg[3] also useful. 1. http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/index.php 2. http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php 3. http://orgmode.org/worg/ Welcome again. -- Manish
[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 641 bytes --] Thanks Manish. I did find the checkbox section, but it didn't work for me. I got it by a google search on "emacs org-mode check boxes". I put the '[]' manually, and then tried C-c C-c to check it, but it didn't work. Will try these and let you know tomorrow. I had used planner before, and the org mode is much much better. Thanks again. - Umesh On Fri, Jan 23, 2009 at 6:02 PM, Manish <mailtomanish.sharma@gmail.com>wrote: > On Sat, Jan 24, 2009 at 5:46 AM, Umesh Nair wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I am new to org-mode > > Welcome! > > > ( I tried org-mode a year back for a few days, and now again I am > > trying it.) > [... snip...] [-- Attachment #1.2: Type: text/html, Size: 1093 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 204 bytes --] _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

A space is required between the brackets:
[ ]
not
[]
Could that be the issue? (I made that very mistake when I was new to org-mode.)

(I made that very mistake when I was new to > org-mode.) That was it. And I missed the '-' character for the list. Thanks a lot. Now everything is working. - Umesh [-- Attachment #1.2: Type: text/html, Size: 959 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 204 bytes --] _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
