Hi,

I use org-google-weather.el to display the weather condition of a couple
of cities in my Agenda.  I would like to format the strings so that
certain elements are aligned.

Sometimes it looks like this: 

   W:    I Clear, 19-35 ᵒC    (Florence)
   W:    I Partly Sunny, 19-26 ᵒC    (Berlin)

(I is the icon).  I want it to look like:

   W:    I Clear,        19-35 ᵒC    (Florence)
   W:    I Partly Sunny, 19-26 ᵒC    (Berlin)

The string I use is:

(setq org-google-weather-format
       "%i %c, %l-%h %s    (%L)")

I tried something like 

   (format "%s %-7s %s %s %s" "%i" "%c," "%l-%h" "%s" "(%L)")

but this obviously doesn't work as the strings are only expanded in the
Agenda buffer.  Thus, I need to format my string after placeholders have
been expanded but before it's actually displayed in the Agenda buffer.

Is that somehow possible?

Thanks,
Rasmus

  Have you tried something like
  
  (setq org-google-weather-format "%i %-30c, %l-%h %s (%L)")
  
  perhaps? Seems to work for me.

    I can honestly say I haven't.  I only tried to (format ...) way, which
    didn't work. 
    
    Thanks for pointing it out.
