I'd do something like the following:
1. Use normal Org text for docstring marked with some kind of block
container (#+begin_docstring..#+end_docstring) or a dedicated
headline.
2. Extend Org with some fancy links specific to docstring. That way, the
original document can be read with active links to, say, other
functions and variables. (I think Doom is using something like this
for its new docs. Timothy is working on this)
3. Those links will be transformed to online documentation links on
normal export.
4. For docstrings, on tangle, the links will be processed via
`org-export-string-as' with a specialized backend that can escape
what is needed for the target language docstring and transform Org
links into whatever the docstring format is used for internal
docstring references.
5. For docstrings, on export, the noweb will generate something like
"[docstring is detailed in the text]", maybe even with a hyperlink to
the docstring in text.
Hope it makes sense.

Hi Ihor,
Thanks for the suggestion. The problem with doing it this way is that
the paragraph is exported as verbatim, and I want it to be exported as a
normal part of the text. For example, in a PDF or HTML it would say
something like:
---
This awesome function is for blah blah, and makes blah blah, when blah blah.
[the function code]
---
But in the source file, that text would be a docstring, inside the
function code.
Actually I don't know if it's good practice to do it like this, hence my
doubts about how to 'marry' the literate programming concept with
languages that support docstring, which, somehow, are largely
self-documenting (thanks to the existence of the docstring itself) . The
scenario would rather be in long, multi-paragraph docstrings. Then this
dilemma comes to me: if I am doing literate programming and I want to
explain in detail what the function x does, I write it in the main text
as part of the documentation. But also that explanation should be a
docstring, in the source file. I understand that the docstring would not
appear in the PDF (to avoid redundancy), but I don't know if it would be
a good practice either, since the docstring belongs to the code...
In short, my dilemma is: how to do good literate programming with a
language like Elisp, which is almost self-documenting in its code? (So
one can learn a lot about Elisp just by reading the code in the *.el
files, without going to the documentation (which is a great strength of
Elisp, by the way).
Best regards,

Both of these options look awesome! Thank you for sharing!
The first (org-block) for long-form text (like official javadoc), the
second (just verbatim) for shorter docstrings.
They finally solve a long-standing problem for me.
Best wishes,

Why do you need to strip docstring on export?

The selected candidates in helm have one main action, which in
helm-locate and so on is usually to visit the buffer or file. The action
is associated with enter or C-m. But you can modify the helm-map to your
liking.
And, in addition to the main action, you have a menu of (very useful)
secondary actions, which you can access by pressing tab on the selected
candidate. Each helm source has its own secondary actions. And you can
also define more actions and add them.

Only when the separation between stanzas is made by means of a blank
line. With the current behavior of verse blocks in the export to LaTeX,
where the separation between stanzas is done by a \vspace, there is no
problem.
When, months ago, I contributed the LaTeX verse numbering patch, I took
this into account, and it didn't seem like the right time to change the
default behavior of the verse block.
I hope to be able to send a new patch soon in the few days (according to
what we discussed in past messages) where the separation by stanzas is
applied by means of a blank line (which is the right thing to do in
LaTeX). I'm rewriting my old code for verse numbering so that a \\! is
automatically added in the last line of each stanza when line numbering
is on.

Hi all,
I find docstrings very useful. One can learn a great deal about Elisp
just from describe-function and describe-variable. But I don't find the
best way for docstrings to fit into the "precepts" of literate
programming. I try to explain myself: today I am reviewing my Emacs
init, written in Org. I like to document the code neatly, so that my
future self knows what my present self was trying to do. But I realize
that many of those global explanations before a function or a variable
can also be in a docstring. I can duplicate the text, but it seems to be
a bit redundant, right? So what is the best way to proceed when doing
literate programming with any language that supports docstrings?
Apologies in advance if the question is a bit silly, but I'm not a
professional programmer and don't have an academic background in it,
so I don't know if there is any good practice on these things :-)
On the other hand, the following procedure has occurred to me: put the
relevant information in an Org src block. When exporting to a human
readable format (PDF, HTML, etc.), the content is exported as part of
the text. When tangling, the block content is exported as a docstring.
First, I defined this function:
(defun my-org-format-docstring (cont)
(with-temp-buffer
(insert cont)
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (re-search-forward org-emph-re nil t)
(replace-match (concat " " (match-string 4) " ") t nil)))
(setq cont
(string-trim
(replace-regexp-in-string
"\\(\"\\)"
"\\\\\\1"
(org-export-string-as (buffer-string) 'ascii t)))))
(format "\"%s\"" cont))
And an example of use:
#+NAME: format-docstring
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports none :var x="" :tangle no
(if (not org-export-current-backend)
(my-org-format-docstring x)
x)
#+end_src
#+NAME: docstring1
#+begin_src org :post format-docstring(*this*) :results replace :exports results :tangle no
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
Consectetuer adipiscing elit. "Donec hendrerit tempor tellus". Donec pretium posuere
tellus. Proin quam nisl, tincidunt et, mattis eget, convallis nec, purus. Cum sociis
natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.
#+end_src
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb strip-export :exports code
(defun foo ()
<<docstring1()>>
(message "hello world"))
#+end_src
The only drawback is that with :noweb strip-export an empty line is
left.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

*Excellent* works very nicely. Thanks very much, the only change I did
was
(tag (propertize " 🎃 " 'face 'bold))
It is better visible, and more fitting since you sent me the final
version on Halloween 👹
Now it remains to configure helm-locate, so that it takes a local
database that I can run regularly without sudo..
Thanks very much that was very helpful

You're right, sorry. I'm afraid I was too hasty and the code from the
other message, as I put it, will never work :-).
You can test how it looks, however, if you evaluate the function in a
dired buffer, but the moment you revert the buffer the overlay is lost,
as expected.
That has to be solved in another way. Perhaps some code from the
all-the-icons-dired package can be reused.

Hm I tried out
(defun overlay-dired-filetags ()
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(while
(re-search-forward "\\(_ftag_\\)" nil t)
(let
((ov (make-overlay (match-beginning 1) (match-end 1)))
(tag (propertize " ⚜ " 'face 'bold)))
(overlay-put ov 'overlay-tag t)
(overlay-put ov 'display tag)))))
(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'overlay-dired-filetags)
But
my-auctex-init_ftag_emacs.el
Still gets displayed as
my-auctex-init_ftag_emacs.el
What do I miss?

You can also set a text string, like _ftags_, and to hide it when you're
in Dired, add a function to the dired-mode-hook that displays an overlay
instead of that string, with some fancy unicode symbol separated by
spaces. Something like this:
(defun overlay-dired-filetags ()
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(while
(re-search-forward "\\(_ftag_\\)" nil t)

because it will be understood as the '&&' operator. You would have to

Thanks, just some comments.
I played bit with the format of the separators.
1. I don't want space in my file names, so I set
(setq filetags-delimiter-between-tags "_")
2. I want filetags-delimiter-between-filename-and-tags to be
- Clearly visiable
- Easily to find
- not in conflict with other programs.
- So I tried (setq filetags-delimiter-between-filename-and-tags
"_**_") not good for searching
- "_::_" is not very visiable
- "_##_" is in conflict with the latexviewers when you have
forward and backward search on in pdf files.
- "_&&_" seems to be ok but I am not entirely sure about it
Any comments?
Regards
Uwe

I haven't looked at the code, but I imagine that the information is
stored in the variables I mentioned before, when you use a controlled
vocabulary for the tags. You can also store them in a .filetags file.

Interesting, I'll take a look at it. I haven't used firefox as my
default browser in a while. On desktop and laptop I use a combination of
Eww and Qutebrowser, which is more keyboard oriented. I have Firefox
almost relegated to negotiations with the Spanish government, such as
taxes and little else. On mobile I use Brave browser. And lately I've
noticed that it's not as hard as I thought to navigate with Eww-mode in
Termux/Emacs by touch! :-)
BTW, I have found another free app to annotate PDF on Android, KOReader:
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.koreader.launcher.fdroid/ It is
mainly intended for e-ink screen e-readers. It's under active
development as well (https://github.com/koreader), and even offers
builds and tutorials for installing it on specific non-Android devices
(Kobo, reMarkable, etc.).
I have tried to make some annotations on a PDF to open it later on the
desktop pc. Annotations are correctly read by pdf-tools, Atril, Evince,
Okular, etc. And they are also exported correctly to Org via the
org-noter function org-noter-create-skeleton, which I didn't know about
and is tremendously useful.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

I think locate can't look for things like " -- "; Also, it's too
generic. It is safer to use alphanumeric characters. For example, if you
prefer something shorter, you can do:
(setq filetags-delimiter-between-filename-and-tags " @@ ")
That should be found by locate.
Regarding the updatedb issue, it seems that in Ubuntu you have to do it
manually. You would have to edit the crontab file. See:

Ah, well I have installed locate (mlocate to be precise, I am using
Ubuntu)
And I have used locate in the past, nevertheless
helm-locate keeps failing and giving me the screenshot I attached in my
earlier message, so some sort of bug in helm-locate for Ubuntu?

Ah, sorry, I thought you used helm-locate before. helm-locate depends on
the GNU/Linux 'locate' program. You have to install it. I don't know
what distro you use, but the package is usually called mlocate or
plocate (these are two different implementations of locate). I have
mlocate installed on Arch Linux. According to the Arch wiki:
------------
- mlocate (Merging Locate) is a more secure version of the locate utility,
that only shows files accessible to the user.
- plocate (Posting Locate) is a locate based on posting lists, consuming
mlocates database ahead-of-time and making a much faster (and smaller)
index out of it.
------------
Generally, when you install locate it is automatically configured so
that the database is updated every time you start a session. If you want
to update it in the middle of a session, you must execute the updatedb
command with sudo in the terminal.

Juan Manuel

At first I used a controlled vocabulary for the tags, setting the
variables filetags-enforce-controlled-vocabulary and
filetags-controlled-vocabulary. But I was getting some false positives.
So it occurred to me to configure this other variable like this:
(setq filetags-delimiter-between-filename-and-tags "%ftag_")
This way, if I start typing in helm-locate %ftag_ I already start
getting more accurate results. Like I said, it's not a panacea, but it
more or less does the trick :-)
BTW, i don't use helm-locate directly but helm-mini with a number of
sources related to buffers, markers, and files:
(setq helm-mini-default-sources '(helm-source-buffers-list
helm-source-recentf
helm-source-buffer-not-found
helm-source-bookmarks
helm-source-bookmark-set
helm-source-locate))
So with a single call to helm-mini I can get information about open
buffers, recent files, bookmarks, and locate.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

I think you are right, I will open an issue on the authors github page.
BTW I played a bit with filetags. It is ok, but I would like to add some
more information, usually a line or so a tag is a bit sparse I must say.

Interesting package, I didn't know about it... Have you ever tried it? I
just installed it, but M-x filetree-load-cmd-menu returns a 'Wrong type
argument: number-or-marker-p, list'. When I run toggle-debug-on-error It

hmm, I think the notes functionality that this package includes is more
in the league of org-remark or org-noter, i.e. to add notes to the file
content, but not a comment to the file itself, which I think is more
what you search. But I am not sure.

I see. It's not exactly what you're looking for, but I often use
filetags.el (https://github.com/DerBeutlin/filetags.el) which allows you
to add tags to files and directories in Dired. You can add multiple
tags, remove or update them. It's not a panacea, because the tags are
added directly to the file/directory name (as part of the name, I mean),
but in general it's enough for me when I want to have a file tagged in
some way. I can then locate this files by tag names using helm-locate.
Perhaps a kind of ''dired-org-view'' could be interesting, to display a
dired directory as an Org buffer, where you could add (persistent) TODO
states, notes and tags. Well, it's a sudden occurrence, I don't know to
what extent it is feasible, but in case someone feels inspired... :-)
You also have this package (haven't tried it):
https://github.com/Boruch-Baum/emacs-diredc Adds a lot of functionality
to Dired, including file preview.

Juan Manuel

Well I found one

But again I cannot add comments, nor seems there be a update function.

Well, since I tend to forget things, and it is very time consuming to
open files and see what is the basic content, I thought of adding to
each directory (with subdirectories if necessary) I find useful a
README.org file, that contains a
1. Tree of the directory and
1. a short description of the content of each file
I use bookmarks.el but that is an entirely different workflow, since I
there only save files that I find useful, but sometimes I stumble across
a directory I created some time ago and don't recall the content of
each file.

Hi Uwe,
I tried this package a long time ago, and I found the problems you
mention. I noticed also that in large directories it took a eternity to
create the Org nodes. The idea of the package is not bad, but I did not
find a practical use for it. I currently have dired-subtree-toggle
installed, which allows expanding and collapsing dired directories, and
assigned these keyboard shortcuts to it:
(with-eval-after-load 'dired
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "<tab>") 'dired-subtree-toggle)
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "C-<tab>") 'dired-subtree-cycle))
As to whether there is any new package that does the same thing as
org-fstree, AFAIK I don't think so. Out of curiosity, what use case
would you give to such a package?
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Perhaps it was Google (through gmail) who modified it. They do that kind
of things. We don't know.
@Renato: it seems your init.el is badly mangled. Please, go through it
and look for pieces of private information. If there are any, remove
them and post the rest for us to see (this has been suggested a couple
of times). That will be a lot quicker than to chase every single bug
in the dark.
Cheers

Renato, adding to what Tomas and Bruno have explained to you very well,
you have another case in the init that you sent me by mail. Notice the
third line here:
------------------
;; Make Org mode work with files ending in .org
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))
The above is the default in recent emacsen
(require 'org)
(setq org-log-done t)
------------------
Emacs will understand The line that begins "The above is the..." as
code, and it is not code but a comment to the code. Therefore, you must
protect that line with an escape character, which in Elisp is (at least)
one ";" (as Tomas explained to you):
;; Make Org mode work with files ending in .org
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))
;; The above is the default in recent emacsen
(require 'org)
(setq org-log-done t)
And you also have another case, towards the end:
---------------------
(custom-set-variables
;;custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
;;If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
;; '(package-selected-packages '(org-contacts frame-tabs ebdb)))
::(custom-set-faces
;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
;;)
--------------------
The first line (custom-set-variables) is the beginning of a code that is
commented out (= protected, so that Emacs doesn't read it). This line
should also be commented out (protected), with ;. Otherwise Emacs will
run into a code that starts but doesn't have a resolution.
If you fix that and the line that starts with "Enable", you should no
longer have errors in your init.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Renato, can you please put the content of your
/Users/renatopontefice/.emacs.d/init.el file here? (copy and paste). Of
course, if your file has sensitive information like passwords and such,
don't forget to remove that before posting it here).
As you've already been told, there's an error in your file, but we can't
help you if we don't see it.

Another option is a hardware filter: yellow glasses. I am unsure if the
following statement is trustworthy, but marketing is based on suppressed
chromatic aberration inside eyes.
I think, you should decide what is better for your sight: active screen
and perhaps dark theme or paper-like reflective display. Some people
complains that particular devices may have annoying flickering at low
screen brightness due to pulse width modulation. Some devices have too
bright screen even when brightness is set to min value.
If it is acceptable to you to limit device usage to reading and
handwritten notes then a e-Ink might be really great. You can extend
such notes in Emacs on a PC later.
P.S. Concerning free PDF annotation tool, I have not tested if it is
convenient and available on Android, but Firefox-106 release notes have
the following entry:
> It is now possible to edit PDFs: including writing text, drawing, and
adding signatures.
Almost certainly "edit" in their parlance in namely annotations, not
real changes of PDF structure.

I've found that org-noter has the `org-noter-create-skeleton' function,
which exports PDF annotations to Org and keeps them in sync with the PDF
(via pdf-tools). Tremendously useful! :-)

Interesting question. When I don't write carelessly I try to write "Org
Mode", but it's more out of habit. The wikipedia entry says "Org-mode".
The Google entry for orgmode.org says "Org mode", however the title of
the website says "Org Mode".
I imagine this disparity is also shared by other famous Emacs modes,
where you see them written in various ways...

It has been a while since I used macOS. However, how you start emacs in
a terminal depends on how emacs was installed and which version of
emacs.
Note that the emacs which macOS includes is VERY old (I think it is
Emacs 21). This is really too old to be useful these days. You need to
install a current version of Emacs. My recommendation would be to use
homebrew to do this. However, I fear, based on the questions ask, the
OPs familiarity of the OS is likely to make installing homebrew and then
emacs a bit challenging to do via email. Certainly would be off topic
for the org mode list. Possibly better help would be available via the
emacs help list. I would try to help further, but I don't have a working
macOS system at present, so cannot refresh/verify the steps to get
sufficient clarity to be helpful.

I am using MobiScribe. It is running android. Though it is more tailored
for writing and drawing.

There is a world of difference between e-ink and normal screen. You
really need to try at least once before you decide.

Precisely, a couple of days ago, in my search for information on this
subject, I found a e-ink device, likebook, that a) runs Android and b)
has an option to be able to see things on the screen like a normal
tablet, that is, that you can watch videos and more. Grayscale, of
course, but without the problems of a typical e-ink screen. In yt there
are some videos that show this double use. It's interesting. Anyway I
don't know if a custom build of Android can be installed on this device.
Actually, the idea of a device running Android is interesting because it
allows you to install termux and thus Emacs. You could even use Emacs
GUI by installing a GNU/Linux distro in termux and loading it as proot
(+ vnc), or just activating the X11 repo in termux, but I don't know
what the performance would be like. Probably horrible.
On the other hand, the only free app to annotate PDFs on Android is
pen&pdf (based on muPDF), but it hasn't been maintained for several
years. It can be installed on F-droid by adding the IzzyOnDroid
repository, but I don't know if installing it would be a security
risk...
Everything said in this threed is very interesting, but now I am
hesitating between buying one of these devices or simply a 10-inch
tablet with a good screen, and then applying all possible blue light
filters to it. By activating the developer options, you can also turn
Android grayscale. Of course it's not the same as an e-ink screen, but
maybe I can work it out.

Juan Manuel

Renato, I'm not a Mac user, but I imagine it will be like any other
Unix: you have to launch a terminal from your desktop (i guess there
will be in macos an app called "terminal" or something like that), and
once inside the terminal, just type:
emacs --debug-init
and press enter. Emacs (GUI) will open and you should pay attention to
the error messages that Emacs will show you. That will give you a clue
as to where the error is in your Emacs startup.

Another happy reMarkable user here. It looks like the upcoming v3.0 of
the software will allow entering text via the on-screen keyboard.
Whether that is only for 'regular' notes or also for PDF annotation is
not yet clear to me (source:
https://support.remarkable.com/s/article/Software-release-3-0-beta).

Lennart.

E-ink displays are slow (my device was manufactured 15 years ago but I
do not expect dramatic improvement), so applications should be heavily
optimized to provide acceptable experience. I do not think that Emacs is
suitable.
The wonderful property of reflective display is that its brightness
follows ambient conditions. (Almost) direct sunlight during image
refresh (page switching) may cause low contrast noisy image. A
workaround is to move the book into shadow or close cover for a moment.
For static image bright light is not a problem.
I am curious if pdf-tools is able to display annotations created on
devices with stilus.

Not as far as I know (for the reMarkable; I have no experience with the
Elipsa). The virtual keyboard, on the reMarkable, is not great in any
case. Very rudimentary; enough for the job (naming files, connecting to
WiFi) but just barely.

Indeed and, for my use cases, for reviewing journal articles and

I see... I was referring to annotations entered as text. Can't you do
annotations on those devices like you do in a typical PDF reader,
Acrobat or Okular style, using an on-screen keyboard or a physical
keyboard? It's those kinds of annotations I was referring to, the ones
that are stored as metadata in the PDF.
As for the stylus notes, I think I would find them useful especially for
proof reading. But very often what I need is just to put text. In Org I
use Org-noter + pdf-tools a lot.

The annotations are not text: they are vector data corresponding to the
movement of the stylus. You can extract that information (I have
software for the reMarkable that does so) but doing character
recognition would be challenging...

Indeed. Both Kobo Elipsa and reMarkable are very tempting and in a
similar price range. The main problem I find is that they both also run
closed and, presumably, proprietary software. I don't know if my
knowledge (and my time) would be enough to try to hack them. And I
imagine that I would run the risk of ending up bricking the gadget.
The annotations by hand with the stylus are difficult to translate to
Org :-) but in any case they are tremendously useful and save
considerable paper and ink.
I wonder if these devices are capable of exporting normal annotations in
plain text or xml? Anyway, I think it would be possible to write some
python script[1] to extract the annotations and then parse the resulting
xml from there to get a nice and beautiful Org document. Which also
leads me to wonder if anyone has tried that. I think it's a good
entertainment for a vacation...

Be aware (as I wasn't when I answered your previous post) that Parabola

Thanks, Pedro. BTW, have you tried org-epub
(http://github.com/ofosos/org-epub)? I don't usually work with epubs,
but the few times that I need to export to epub it usually works for me.

Thanks a lot for the pointers. I didn't know about it, but something
like reMarkable is what I'm looking for, a device that serves as a
substitute for printed paper in A4 and reading on a desktop screen. The
Parabola hack looks pretty cool (that's supposed to be equivalent to
being able to use Emacs with pdf-tools package). I have seen that the
Wi-Fi does not work (it is not essential for me) but the OTG does. I
will investigate about it... In that device line I had also seen the
Onyx Boox Note. But recently I read that this brand has a sad history of
violating the Linux kernel GPL license.
N.B.: I have to say that I have never used an e-ink device. The
''closest'' thing is this hack I wrote, for use especially on my old
Thinkpad in high light environments. It uses Picom compositor and
Redshift. And, after messing around with the parameters a lot, I found
these that I'm quite satisfied with. It also helps to apply a monochrome
theme in Emacs. Of course, it is nothing more than a simulation to try
to reduce the light emission as much as possible:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq picom-command "picom --backend glx --glx-fshader-win \"uniform sampler2D tex; uniform float opacity; void main() { vec4 color = texture2D(tex, gl_TexCoord[0].xy); gl_FragColor = vec4(vec3(0.2126 * color.r + 0.7152 * color.g + 0.0722 * color.b) * opacity, color.a * opacity); }\"")
(setq redshift-command "redshift -l 40.5914000:-4.1474000 -b 0.9:0.9 -t 4000k:4000k -g 0.5:0.5:0.8")
(defun my-poor-man-eink-toggle ()
(interactive)
(when (equal (process-status "picom") 'run)

Putting aside the org mode aspect for the moment, I highly recommend the
reMarkable [1] tablet for reading PDF documents. I have owned one for
several years now and use it all the time (in particular for reading 300
pages theses on the train...). I do not use org mode on it, however.
For Emacs, some people have hacked the reMarkable. I have not tried any
of the hacks but the Parabola initiative [2] seems the most advanced.

Hi all,
As I am beginning to have serious eye fatigue problems, I am thinking of
buying an e-ink device, not to read books but to read documents. My idea
is that it be an Android device and that it supports the installation of
apk, to be able to install Termux/Emacs/Org-Mode and Nextcloud to sync
with my desktop PC or my laptop. I'd like to explore a workflow where I
could read PDFs on the device (and probably also text-only web pages
with eww) and also take Org Mode notes.
I wonder if anyone has tried something similar, if there is anything
written about it somewhere or if it is completely uncharted territory.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Yes, that's the impression I have too. Tabularray certainly solves a lot
of traditional LaTeX table problems (unfortunately not the one we're
dealing with). Time will tell if it also creates other new problems. In
any case, it brings a lot of flexibility to a part of LaTeX, tables,
that has always suffered from a certain constriction. We'll see what
happens. LaTeX is becoming very complex and now several layers coexist,
since the jump to LaTeX 3 is going to be gradual. On the other hand, I
don't know if the latex core developers have a cleaner \\ command in
their roadmap, without those absurd current problems (and that LaTeX has
been carrying for almost 40 years).

My impression is that tabularray has an ambitious goal to replace all
current table packages. I have no idea if other packages will adopt
similar approach with regexp-based parsing instead of usual expanding of
TeX commands.
I do not like necessity to add \NewTableCommand\empty{} to documents
somehow (only if tabularray is loaded). I do not have an idea better
than \\[0pt] and an optimizing filter to remove [0pt] in almost all cases.

I see the tabularray issue simply as an example that \empty is not as
reliable as we thought. There might be other LaTeX packages throwing
errors on \\\empty.
The proposed workaround may be enough for tabularray, but may not be for
other packages.

I do not think that users will clearly understand the purpose of such
defcustom. It is solving some very narrow edge case, and it is unclear
why we would need to advertise changing it in customize interface.
I'd prefer to keep it as defconst, but maybe mention in the docstring
that it can still be set to "\\empty" as another semi-safe value. At the
user's own risk.

In my custom code that I commented on in another email, \\! is
automatically inserted if verse numbering is active. My intention is to
incorporate that into my patch (work-in-progress) over the spaces between
verses.

I've had a look at the thread. What do you think of that
\NewTableCommand\empty{} workaround mentioned at
https://github.com/lvjr/tabularray/discussions/321#discussioncomment-3920957?
Since the \empty option only has problems in tabularray, maybe we could
keep it, and put in the documentation some recommendations for
tabularray users. I imagine they would have to add a @@latex:\empty@@
before each row that follows a line. A bit laborious, I'm afraid.
Another possibility that occurs to me is that the string reserved for
\empty, [0pt], etc., is a defcustom, with a value of \empty by default.
So the user would choose what suits him best.
By the way (a little digression), I was curious to see if these age-old
LaTeX problems with line breaking exist in ConTeXt as well. Since I'm
completely unfamiliar with ConTeXt, the quickest thing to do has been to
see what code ox-context returns for the org tables. The answer is that
there are no such problems, and one can safely put a square bracket at
the beginning of a row. It is also true that the table syntax in ConTeXt
is radically different from that in LaTeX. And there is also no problem
if I put @@context:a\[b]@@. Some screenshots:
https://i.imgur.com/2k1TaU9.png
https://i.imgur.com/8i9qlEH.png
Many times I've been tempted to give ConTeXt a try, but I've always run
into two things: ConTeXt's perennially experimental status and a
horrible lack of documentation. In addition, backward compatibility is
not usually respected, since ConTeXt, although it is free software, does
not have community development as a priority, but rather the company
behind it, Pragma.

True, I had forgotten about this package (I don't think I've ever used
it). It looks like it has a 2020 new version:
@manual{supertabular,
title = {The \texttt{supertabular} package},
subtitle = {A multi-page tables package},
author = {Johannes L. Braams},
date = {2020-02-02},
version = {4.1g},
license = {lppl1.3c},
url = {https://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/supertabular},
pkgurl = {https://ctan.org/pkg/supertabular},
}

OK, thanks a lot. (BTW, I have yet to reply to some interesting things

I think this new recipe you propose works fine, although I haven't
done a thorough test yet. In principle, it shouldn't be a problem.
By the way, now I remember that the package verse adds a series of extra
arguments to \\ (p. 6 in the documentation:
https://www.ctan.org/pkg/verse). As a user, the only way I can think of
to add arguments instead of [0pt] or \empty is by using a small export
filter to act on the final output. Perhaps putting something like
!!new-argument!! on the affected row/verse/line to guide the filter.

Keep in mind that tabularray is a latex3 package and, in principle,
everything that is latex3 is here to stay. Certainly, it is a blessing
compared to the classic tabular environments, because it is tremendously
versatile. That is why it already has a significant number of users:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/tabularray
And Org already provides what is necessary to use its syntax. I've had a
first look at tabularray.sty, but I'm not familiar enough with the new
LaTeX 3 syntax and, frankly, I'm lost...
I've tried all the packages involved in tables that I can think of
(longtable, siunitx, tabularx, booktabs, array, and I don't know if I
forgot any) and in all of them the \empty solution works fine. It seems
that tabularray is the black sheep here.

Throw an error before \hline.

I had a hope, it is possible to do it in a single pass of
`replace-regexp-in-string', but unfortunately the function does not
allow to make conditional substitution based on (rx (optional (group
string-start))) (a bug?).
I still prefer to avoid replacement of latex newlines back to empty
string. Though I am really happy with the following code, I expected a
more concise snippet. Unit tests may found bugs in it.
(let ((contents "\n\n 0 \n\n\na b\nc d e \n\n\nf g \n h i\n\n"))
;; Strip leading newlines.
(setq contents
(replace-regexp-in-string
(rx string-start (1+ (0+ blank) ?\n)) ""
contents 'fixed-case 'literal))
;; Add explicit line breaks and strip trailing spaces.
(setq contents
(replace-regexp-in-string
(rx (0+ blank) ?\n
(optional (group (1+ (0+ blank) ?\n)))
(optional (group (0+ blank) (not (any blank ?\n)))))
(lambda (m)
(let ((par (match-string 1 m))

(if next
(concat (if par "\n\n" "\\\\\n")
next)
"")))
contents 'fixed-case 'literal))

It seems when I had a look into latex.ltx first time, I confused which
branch is executed when length is less than or equal to zero and decided
that it is the heavier \@xargarraycr. Actually \@yargarraycr do not
really worry me, so degree of my objection concerning \\[0pt]
significantly decreased.
\def\@argarraycr[#1]{%
\ifnum0=`{\fi}${}\ifdim #1>\z@ \@xargarraycr{#1}\else
\@yargarraycr{#1}\fi}
\def\@xargarraycr#1{\@tempdima #1\advance\@tempdima \dp \@arstrutbox
\vrule \@height\z@ \@depth\@tempdima \@width\z@ \cr}
\def\@yargarraycr#1{\cr\noalign{\vskip #1}}
I have realized that
| / | < | > |
| | a | b |
| | @@latex:\noalign{\vskip 1em}@@ c | d |
is not a workaround to increase local interval between rows. It may
cause disrupted vertical rules. Another recipe should be used:
| / | < | > |
| | a | b @@latex:\rule[-1em]{0pt}{1em}@@ |
| | c | d |
I believe that a more convenient way to override [0pt] to some other
length for particular row should exist, but I have no idea which syntax
should be used.
As to tabulararray, I still consider it as an experimental package.
Perhaps I will install a more modern container. I am curious what code
handles \\[0pt]. Likely I should read docs to get impression related to
design goals and approaches to implement them. The bug tracker of the
project looks like an appropriate place to ask a question concerning \\
variant safe for dumb exporters.
For a while I have the following question. Is \\{} have the same effect
on tabularray parser as \\\empty?

Then [0pt] should it be. At least for now, before we have a cleaner
solution.

Today I have tried with the latest version of tabularray (2022C, the one
I tried yesterday was 2022A, included in TeX Live 2022), and the bad
results persist. Also, it now returns a compile error when an \empty
precedes a \hline. I suspect this package does a pretty drastic
redefinition of \\. The [0pt] option still works fine here, though.

It is easy to change \\\empty constant to \\[0pt] if necessary. I have
no objection either way. Though I do not feel like we are in rush. I'd
like to hear from ox-latex maintainer.

I didn't expect that either. And, since this response of mine has,
directly or indirectly, sparked a lengthy subsequent discussion, I think
I must apologize if my tone here may have sounded rude or impolite,
which was not my intention. It was a late hour, I was tired and English
is not my first language. So I opted for a minimal expression to remind
a user that the application he mentioned (in good faith) was proprietary
software. Probably, as I wrote it, the text gives the impression that I
was reprimanding this user. As I say, it was not my intention and
therefore I apologize for not having expressed it correctly.

As I said, I don't use this package. Once I wanted to start using it,
because it has many interesting features, but I gave up on it because
this package does not (at the moment) have support for the CMYK color
space (necessary for print publication) with the xcolors package.
Maybe it's a bug, but the situation is that compiling the copied
examples as they are in the package manual, the result is correct (as it
is also shown in the manual); but adding an unexpected element (an
\empty on the last line) produces a bad result. Since you can't test the
package, I've taken this screenshot:
https://i.imgur.com/jkSHUMP.png
I think there is a tabularray user on the list, Vikas Rawal. In fact, I
also remember that I provided a patch so that he could use this package
in Org
(https://list.orgmode.org/CALtzAB1yM+uG_xHghCxTLRX5mgbzNvT5+PO=DuaBB28nCsVqEA@mail.gmail.com/).
I've cc'd him in case he wants to join the discussion.

I see. If the selective solution is going to involve rewriting the
exporters, I find that it is unaffordable in the present circumstances.
It's a shame, because pandoc's solution seems ideal to me. What I
couldn't say is how pandoc does it and if it does it whenever expected,
because I use very little pandoc.

Assuming that there is currently no alternative to the non-selective
solution, and that, as you say, the presence of brackets may be more
common than I initially expected, if I had to choose between \empty and
[0pt], I would say that [0pt] is the safest, as it is an expected
argument to \\ and equals the default space. I can't think of any
unexpected results from this, but of course, it also depends on there
being no package redefining \\ with another argument structure on its
own. I think it would be a bad idea for a package developer, but LaTeX
(and the LaTeX packages) is horribly unpredictable.

I did not expected that this topic would become so hot.
Let's ignore that easyorg does not run on Android and concentrate on
proprietary vs. free app.
I believe that in such cases a helpful answer gently pushing users to
free software should be like: "Application P is a proprietary one. There
are F and G apps that have close set of features and superior for tasks
like T and D." Though such reply is almost impossible if discussion of P
is aggressively discouraged and sharing discussion summary on a web site
is prohibited because a web page may be associated with a GNU project.
Without mention of P the phrase becomes significantly less convincing,
it may give impression that people suggesting F and G are completely
unaware of what P really is.
I do not think that intention was to promote the particular app using a
GNU mail list, so my perception is that reaction without offering a free
alternative was harsh. It would be acceptable in the case more delay to
see that nobody can post a better answer.
I am unsure what is more strange, purism close in its degree to
absurdity or partial measures like wiping mentions of proprietary
software without removing of complete section
info "(org) Org Mobile" https://orgmode.org/manual/Org-Mobile.html
so that only a half of solution is really described. I would expect more
healthy balance.
P.S. Juan Manuel, from my point of view, your message suggesting running
emacs in termux is one of 2 helpful suggestions in this thread. Perhaps
the topic starter is seeking for a UI suitable for touch screen rather
than complete set of features, but due to lack of details we do not know it.
I have not tried any Org related application on Android, so I can not
suggest anything. I had a hope to learn something new from this topic.

LaTeX I have installed is too old for this package. It is marked as
"Experimental LaTeX3", so I am unsure, maybe you have found a bug in
this package.
https://ctan.org/pkg/tabularray
You believe that an issue with brackets is extremely rare. It may be
true for humanitarian texts. For some users it may be a constant source
of pain e.g. in the case of interval notation as [a,b]. I have already
mentioned tables generated by code blocks, not typed directly. I can not
say that I often need to export my notes, but I was afraid that I will
be bitten by this bug because I may try to put dates close to left margin:
- Something\\
[2022-10-17 Mon]
By default dates wrapped into \textit, but it may be customized to just
"%s".
Selectively adding some workaround require complete reimplementation of
exporters. I have some curiosity concerning pandoc approach, but I am
unsure if I will reserve some time to read its code.
An idea how to avoid complete redesign: at first add something like
%__ORG_PROTECT_NEWLINE__
after each \\, later at an optimizing pass remove the comment if next
line does not start from a star or a square bracket, otherwise use some
workaround, e.g. "{[}". \relax may be suitable as well (in the beginning
of rows, not after \\).
I do not like approach with a custom command. It is effectively the same
as adding \empty but \\ may be redefined by some packages, so I strongly
prefer to keep \\ in exported markup. Redefining of \\ is a way to new
issues. I do not feel firm ground with a command that will expand to \\.
I am afraid that \\ may still consume following "[" unless \empty or its
equivalent is added after it. I am completely unsure concerning
tabularray parser that does not rely on TeX primitives.
I found \empty when I was looking for an approach with minimal overhead.
I expect that e.g. \\[0pt] may have higher performance penalty since it
is expanded to several commands. When the idea with "\\\relax" failed I
was choosing between "\\{}" and "\\\empty". I decided that the latter
minimizes risk to add spurious space.
Some problems:
I do not see a way to add some LaTeX code between table lines.
Semi-verbatim environment may be a source of new bugs. They may be
rather selective in respect to what they consider a command and what is
passed as raw text. tabularray perhaps is similar in this sense.

I think I've found a case where \empty 'everywhere' can produce unexpected
results. I don't know if I'm missing something, because I've never used
this package, but taking a couple of random examples from the tabularray
documentation, you can see it, compiling the following snippet (by the
way, putting \\[0pt] instead of \\\empty the result is correct). Here in
both cases the problem is in the last \empty:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularray}

It was me who raised issues with verse exporter in discussion of newline
commands. I was impressed by hard to read elisp code and its result.

I am trying to read with enough attention this discussion, for a while I

Juan Manuel Macías. [Small suggestion] on exporting verse blocks to
LaTeX and vertical spaces. Tue, 15 Dec 2020 18:21:13 +0100

Do you still have real problems with current main HEAD state after
adjusting patterns in your code?

I have not verified it, but since I am not aware of a group wrapping
this fragment, I suspect that :versewidth may have global effect, not
limited to the current environment. Org variant of the function is
rather close at this point.

No, I don't have any concrete example. But it is one thing to use a
valid LaTeX command and another to use it unnecessarily. It's like
putting \vspace{0pt} between each paragraph.

I don't know, because I haven't seen them. But I'd bet (at the risk of
losing the bet) that none of those machine-generated constructs produce
anything as unnecessary as Org's present solution. The situation now
becomes the following:
Pandoc: selective solution. In specific cases it returns {[}...{]}
Org: non-selective solution = ugly LaTeX code.

As I said, this is a known LaTeX problem that occurs in a rare case, for
which there is a known solution (or several), which should be applied in
the specific case. And Org already provides the necessary tools to apply
it.

I haven't seen any publication rule that prevents using valid LaTeX
commands like this. Do you have concrete examples? If not, one could
argue that any auto-generated output could break some imaginary rule.
I am also wondering how LaTeX documents generated from LyX or TeXmacs
look like. Are they not using some obvious machine-generated constructs?

My answer is: "\\" is 100% not universally safe. Simply because we have
that bug report with [ ... ] items in tables.
So, anything with no concrete counter-example is better as long as we
are reasonably sure that we are not breaking LaTeX conventions.

This has been proposed and then rejected by Max in

It means that LaTeX packages that redefine \\ may be affected. I'd
prefer to avoid such side effects.

In my opinion it is not so much a question of aesthetics as of (let's
say) a certain conformity with what a LaTeX document should be. I think,
for example, in the case of a user who must submit his/her work in LaTeX
format to a publication, following the rules of that publication. It is
one thing for a LaTeX document to compile without error and quite
another for a LaTeX document to be or not to be formed according to good
practice. Would there be a problem sharing LaTeX documents with
unnecessary commands like \empty after all occurrences of \\?
Anyway. As for the compilation, it is highly unlikely that \empty will
cause any unexpected error. But LaTeX and its over 6000 packages is
unpredictable. It also seemed unlikely that \relax would cause any
problems, and catching up on the last discussion, it had to be replaced
by \empty because it returned an error just before \hline. \relax is one
of the recommended solutions from LaTeX, because it tells LaTeX that the
previous macro has finished expanding, but it is recommended keeping in
mind that the user will apply it only when needed, not everywhere. And
before \hline it doesn't make sense because there will never be an
'\\[...]' error. So, in the current situation, we can ask ourselves: is
\empty everywhere safe? Everything points to yes. Can we be 100% sure?
...?
The only thing I can think of, for a non-selective solution like the
current one, is the following: if \\ has an optional argument that must
be a length, then let's give it, but with a value of zero: \\[0pt], which
is equivalent to putting the value by default (zero) explicitly.

What I've done in this code is redefine \\ so that if the next character
is a [ or a * it doesn't do anything. To use the macro with the old
behavior, you would have to use the new macros \oldbreak and \oldbreakt
(this one for tables):
@@latex:\oldbreak@@
@@latex:[1em]@@
Anyway, like I said, it's a proof of concept. In the tests I've done it
works very well, but on a large scale I can't be sure of the results.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

I tried to add the safe version of page break everywhere where there is
a risk of a page break followed by square brackets.
The key point: A valid Org file must be exported to a valid LaTeX file.
If you know a selective solution, patches are welcome. (I am also CCing
Daniel).
I see no issue with defcustom in general, but can you explain what
practical problems it is going to solve? I am not talking about
aesthetics of the exported LaTeX.

Won't it make it impossible to use
@@latex:\\@@
@@latex:[1em]@@
deliberately?
Note that we may also replace \\\empty with a single custom command. It
will look a bit cleaner. Not sure if it is any different from your
approach.

I checked git log and the current approach for verse export dates back
to initial versions of ox-latex. I am pretty sure that it should be
improved.

Apologies for the misunderstanding. But in any case, I agree with what
Jean says. A GNU list is not the place to discuss whether proprietary
software should be recommended here or anywhere else. And I don't think
that affirming this (which is obvious) means aborting any possible
discussion. It is simply a reminder that such discussions should not
take place here. I don't think this is documented anywhere, but I insist
that it seems like common sense to me.

The solution of adding \relax or \empty is a good one. The problem is
when it is applied massively and indiscriminately, bearing in mind that
it is to prevent a problem that is, frankly, very rare. \empty is
unlikely to have any side effects, but still, I don't like Org making
these decisions for me and adding LaTeX code that I didn't ask for, in
form or quantity. Isn't it possible to be more selective, like Pandoc
does (I think), and add what needs to be added only when the problem is
present? I don't know if the Pandoc thing has already been mentioned in
past discussions, because these days I haven't been paying attention to
the list.
In any case, I would prefer: a) a selective solution; and if a) is not
possible, at least b) a defcustom.
This is an example I came up with of how it could be fixed selectively
in LaTeX (big, big caveat: it's just a proof of concept and likely to
produce errors in other contexts. I think if a LaTeX package to fix this
isn't already out, it is either because the problem is very rare and the
solution for particular cases is known, or because there are drawbacks
inherent to LaTeX that I can't figure out right now):

First of all, I'm afraid that in my previous post I mixed up two
different issues: the verse block bug and my personal opinions about the
new added constant. I should have separated these topics, sorry.
I answer here what you comment about the verse blocks and later I will
open a different thread for the other issue.
Yes, you're right: that \vspace is the normal behavior of the block when
exporting to LaTeX, and it is certainly not quite correct. In LaTeX,
both the out-of-the-box verse environment and the one provided by the
'verse' package (which, typographically speaking, is the correct way to
represent verses in LaTeX) do not add a \vspace between stanzas. In the
LaTeX input the separation between stanzas is expressed by an (at least)
empty line. In fact, that space can be controlled by the verse package
with the stanzaskip \length. I remember that I commented on this anomaly
here on the list, a long time ago, but I can't find the original
message...
In my init I have redefined the verse block like this, so that there is
a white line between stanzas, not \vspace (I have also added some things
for the verse package, so that the numbering of verses is not broken).
So your example would produce a white line under \begin{verse}, not the
current \vspace, which would be irrelevant to LaTeX. But this is only a
hack:
(defun org-latex-verse-block (verse-block contents info)
"Transcode a VERSE-BLOCK element from Org to LaTeX.
CONTENTS is verse block contents. INFO is a plist holding
contextual information."
(let*
((lin (org-export-read-attribute :attr_latex verse-block :lines))

(cent (org-export-read-attribute :attr_latex verse-block :center))
(attr (concat
(if cent "[\\versewidth]" "")
(if lin (format "\n\\poemlines{%s}" lin) "")
(if latcode (format "\n%s" latcode) "")))
(versewidth (org-export-read-attribute :attr_latex verse-block :versewidth))

In my opinion Org has to apply a general solution merely because a table
may be result of evaluation of an org-babel code block. I may be wrong,
but I suspect that some users do not care what is the intermediate
format when they need a PDF file.

Org has a bit more information concerning context of square brackets.
They may be just text of a table cell or contents of an export snippet.
In a LaTeX file they are just square brackets and there is no way to
distinguish them.
I believe, it is a design flaw in LaTeX that the \\ command does not
have a counterpart with no optional * and [] arguments. For humans \\ is
enough, but it is fragile when LaTeX is used as an intermediate export
format. A part of the problem is that all 3rd party packages should be
adapted for the robust \\ sibling. Likely it may be solved by additional
pass in the exporter code but it will significantly increase its
complexity. I have no idea what is appropriate place to discuss such
issue with LaTeX developers.
The following is irrelevant to the recent changes. I have tried
---- >8 ----
text
#+begin_verse
a b
c d
e f
g h
#+end_verse
---- 8< ----
With the fix Ihor committed today I have got
---- >8 ----
text
\begin{verse}
\vspace*{1em}
a b\\\empty
c d\\\empty
\vspace*{1em}
e f\\\empty
g h\\\empty
\end{verse}
---- 8< ----
My expectation was
---- >8 ----
\begin{verse}
a b\\\empty
c d
e f\\\empty
g h
\end{verse}
---- 8< ----
I am surprised that \vspace is added instead of empty line between
stanzas. Is there a reason to override LaTeX defaults? If such reason
exists would not it better to add
\parskip=1em plus 0.5em minus 0.25em\relax
before first verse line? Is hard coded rigid vertical space acceptable
when high quality output is desired? \vspace before first line looks
like a bug. Frankly speaking, nested calls of `replace-regexp-in-string'
makes the code hard to read.
P.S. I have not found exact citation, but I noticed a mention: Lamport
expected that verse environment would get negative feedback from poets.

Clarification: I was actually referring to Jean's email. (I did not look

Having said that, my judgment may be still poor. I'd be happy to hear

What I have done is simply to remind that a specific application is not
free and should not be recommended here (the user who has cited that
application in good faith does not have to know it). That's exactly
discussing things.

Discussing and recommending are two different things.
Consider Windows. We do not recommend it. Yet, we do support it, and we
do discuss it.
WRT the Org apps, we are discussing things, and you are
trying to put stop on this discussion. I find it a bit too aggressive.

I'm afraid we differ completely on what Org's priorities are at this
point. The way I see it, Org shouldn't try to solve LaTeX problems,
because Org isn't proficient in LaTeX. This is a known issue in LaTeX,
where a leading bracket can be confused with the optional argument of a
preceding macro (such as \\ or \linebreak). And it doesn't just happen
in this context. It can also happen with environments that have optional
arguments, although the case of \\ is the most common and the case of
environments depends on how the environment is defined. For this
problem, LaTeX has been recommending various *specific* solutions
(because the probability of it appearing is very low, luckily), such as
enclosing the brackets in two {} or putting a \relax before .
In this case Org intends to solve the LaTeX problem, and it does it, in
my opinion, poorly, by generalizing a particular solution for what is
even an extremely rare problem. This is the typical case that can be
easily solved by the user with a macro or an export filter, as I have
been doing for a long time, and at no time have I needed anything else.
Org must worry about exporting well and offering the necessary tools for
that to happen, as it has been doing until now. And the duty of the
users is to know reasonably the language to which they export, to the
extent of what they want to obtain when they export. Org should not be a
substitute for LaTeX: whoever wants to get special things in LaTeX, must
know LaTeX. It's that easy. If Org is going to start trying to solve at
its own risk all the *specific* problems that can appear in the typical
compilation of a LaTeX document, then I prefer to stop using Org and use
pure LaTeX from the beginning.
And as for the ox-latex.el file, in its current state it is completely
unusable for me. At least the user could be offered the possibility of
choosing.

The idea is to use "\\\someescapeLaTeXcommand" rather than "\\". The
latter can take arguments unexpectedly. See

Because people export tables not only to LaTeX, but also to other
formats. {[} makes no sense then.

It will be unclear when to use such entity. Note that it is not obvious
at all that LaTeX export specifically will stumble on
| [1, 2] |
| [3, 4] |
without knowing LaTeX internals and checking the exported LaTeX
intermediate source closely.
We already ask users to deal with Org parser oddities. If we also demand
knowing LaTeX oddities, it will be too much. Better modify parser to
export valid Org syntax into valid LaTeX.

Either way, we will need to use the new package in ox-latex.el. And our
current approach is somewhat better because users can still use direct
LaTeX @@latex:\\@@ if they want to get "\\" exactly.

The recent addition of the `org-latex-line-break-safe' constant makes it
impossible to compile verse blocks. The reason is that now a \\ is
inserted between each stanza (aka each paragraph), instead of the
`\vspace{1em}' as before. That's wrong, as this compile error message
says:
---------
A \newline or \\ command appears between paragraphs, where it makes no
sense. If you're trying to ``leave a blank line'', use a \vspace
command.
---------
You can test yourself with this example:
#+begin_verse
lorem ipsum dolor
lorem ipsum dolor
lorem ipsum dolor
lorem ipsum dolor
lorem ipsum dolor
lorem ipsum dolor
#+end_verse
On the other hand, I have a few reservations about the usefulness of
org-latex-line-break-safe. To begin with, it is a particular solution
applied in a general way. This can have unexpected consequences, as has
happened in verse blocks. It's like putting your whole body in a
cast because of a broken finger.
I think if the reason for this addition is to prevent problems with
square brackets, in certain contexts, why not just apply a point
solution? For example, putting {[}, which is a common LaTeX way to
protect a square bracket. Use a macro, for example, or even
define a new entity, something like:
(setq org-entities-user
'(("lbrack" "{[}" nil "[" "[" "[" "[")
("rbrack" "{]}" nil "]" "]" "]" "]")))
And finally, I think that applying a general solution to this problem is
something that should be done(IMHO) in LaTeX and not in Org, for
example, with some new package that would protect certain signs or
through ad hoc LaTeX/Lua code.

Juan Manuel

Hi all,
I have written this function to be able to choose the type of block in
which to enclose the marked content (by default, quote). So in
my org-capture template I put %(my-capture-block) instead of %i:
┌────
│ (defun my-capture-block ()
│ (let ((initial (org-capture-get :initial)))
│ (when initial
│ (let ((block-name
│ (read-string
│ "Block type for marked content (default quote): "
│ nil nil "quote")))
│ (format
│ "#+begin_%s\n%s\n#+end_%s"
│ block-name
│ initial
│ (if (string-match "\\(src\\)\\(.+\\)" block-name)
│ (match-string 1 block-name)
│ block-name))))))
└────
The function works fine from eww, but it doesn't work with org-protocol
+ qutebrowser, as the value of :initial in org-capture-plist seems to be
nil. I've solved it by enclosing %i between two sexp %(...), one to
format the #+begin_xxx and the other to guess the #+end_xxx, but it's
more verbose. Does anyone have a clue how to get the value of %i for
org-protocol with a function inside the template?
Best regards and happy weekend,
Juan Manuel

If you want to have a (more or less) complete Emacs/Org experience, my
recommendation is that you install Termux and install Emacs in Termux.
To get a working and updated version, better install it from F-droid.
There was a thread here recently about termux and org:

It wouldn't be too hard (I think) to implement something for shr or eww,
so that overlays would be applied to highlight the text in eww-mode, and
the position info would be saved somewhere, so that eww would retrieve
it on page reload. As Ihor has recommended to you, org-remark could have
a (possible) use there. I would investigate on that side; also with
org-remark you could associate notes in org-mode.

It seems safer to me to save the content of a page in one way or
another, because that page may one day cease to be online. org-web-tools
is a great tool. The only drawback I find is that pandoc conversions
from html to org are not always very clean (depends on the page you want
to save). To the above could be added the possibility of highlighting
the content of the page and saving everything locally, to later read the
page offline in eww-mode.

In this short video I show an example of my procedure to watch youtube
videos without leaving Emacs:
https://cloud.disroot.org/s/X3cfi2orT38CPyM
I use:
1. Helm-google-suggest (set to use duckduckgo)
2. Ytel (based on elfeed). With a few hacks that I have added, in order
to:
- Display thumbnails in the searches.
- Watch the video at point (via invidious) with EMMS/MPV,
configured with yt-dlp, which is a fork of youtube-dl that works
much better.
- Download the video at point with yt-dlp (full video or only audio)
- Create a bookmark of the video with org-capture

i use the firefox org-capture extension. i click on a unicorn. url
and title are saved as an org link and any selected text.
emacs correctly does not end up in the wm's [fluxbox in my case] fg,
perhaps because of my org-capture settings. so i think i can say it
all works for firefox when the extension, which i adore, works.
incidentally all my applications are maximized or full screen for
accessibility reasons so anything popping up would be bad.
incidentally i always use kb or mouse for accessibility reasons and a
mixture does not work. i can't follow up to this discussion or engage
with you in a back and forth of any kind, just saying it works.
perhaps i misunderstood your challenge and post [reasonably likely].
the thread is about doing the same thing, or as much as possible of
it, more generally in x. for any application like an xterm, deluge,
maybe even emacs itself as an external to emacs buffer mode
independent facility. perhaps without requiring a firefox extension
even, although something would presumably have to grab the url and
title behind the scenes via .mozilla files or some hyopthetical
firefox api.

One solution is to let Emacs be your X window manager. I'm not saying
it's "the solution" to what's being discussed in this thread (sorry for
the noise), but in my case it is. With EXWM I don't need, for example,
anything like org-protocol. Even if I want to copy/cut/paste something
inside X, I have these three simultation keys defined in EXWM:
([?\C-y] . [?\C-v])
([?\C-w] . [?\C-x])
([?\M-w] . [?\C-c])
and I can use C-y, C-w or M-w in LibreOffice, Gimp or wherever.
One more example. If I'm in the external browser I normally use when I'm
not using eww (qutebrowser), I have a simple Org-capture template to
copy a url and create an Org heading with the link. I just hit yy on
qutebrowser and, without leaving there, call org-capture (C-c c). I have
another template to download images with org-download; another to create
a heading with the information extracted from google-scholar, etc. I
mean that using EXWM these problems don't exist, because, one way or
another, you're always in Emacs.

Hi all,
For my personal use I have created an Org document with the
bibliographic information of all the LaTeX packages currently in CTAN. I
have imported the data using org-bibtex-import-from-file. And I have
applied some further edits. The original data source is at:
https://www.ctan.org/pkg/ctan-bibdata
I think that in Org format this will be useful for me to access the
fields (properties) or manipulate them in various ways. In case someone
finds it useful too, it can be downloaded from here:

Maxim, you are right that the use of shell-quote-argument is preferable
in cases like these to avoid unexpected problems with filenames,
passwords, and so on. I try to use it almost always. If I don't use it
more often, it's either because I'm lazy (because of my way of naming
the files, I don't expect this type of problems) or because I think it's
unnecessary, although not 100% free of danger[1], as in this case. I'm not
saying my behavior is exemplary, I'm just saying what I tend to do. I
should probably always use shell-quote-argument. In this case, the
affected part of my function would perhaps look better like this:
(shell-command-to-string
(mapconcat #'shell-quote-argument
`("curl"
"-u"
,(format
"%s:%s"
my-user
my-password)
"-H"
"OCS-APIRequest:true"
"-X"
"POST"
,(format
"%s/ocs/v1.php/apps/files_sharing/api/v1/shares"
nextcloud-url)
"-d"
,(format
"path=%s/%s"
nextcloud-public-folder-name
file)
"-d"
"shareType=3"
"-d"
"permissions=1")
" "))
[1] I think that a problem in this context would not go beyond the fact
that the function simply did not work as expected.
Perhaps it would have been better to use call-process-shell-command,
instead of shell-command-to-string, and extract the resulting string
from the output buffer.
On the other hand, I agree with you that whenever possible it is better
to use an Elisp solution than a shell command.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Juan Manuel, your function is a nice proof of concept, but posting such
code you are responsible for users who may try to use it verbatim having
less experience with elisp.
Use at least `shell-quote-argument' (though it docstring has a link to
info "(elisp)Security Considerations"). Just adding quote characters is
unsafe. You may avoid non-alphanumeric characters in passwords and file
names for good reasons, but for other users a quote character may
dramatically change the executed command.
When TRAMP support is not necessary, arguments should be passed to
external binary as a list without intermediate shell command. I know,
Emacs does not have a convenience function with such calling convention
similar to `shell-command-to-string'.
I am almost sure that Emacs has a package to send HTTP POST requests
directly from elisp. Unsure it has convenient enough API (reasonable
default timeouts, etc.), but it should be safer for working with
peculiar file names and passwords stuffed with characters having special
meaning in shell. I admit that the code would be more verbose. It may
save you time for recovering you system from damage caused by unexpected
interpretation of a shell command.

Hi, Robert,
Thanks for your comment. I agree with what you say. I'm afraid this
action, as I proposed it, is impractical. The proof is that I haven't
used it too much :-). Avy also includes some factory keys where the
action is performed on the target without losing focus or cursor
position. For example, to copy a "distant" word and paste at point. This
would be a more reasonable use case. Taking inspiration from Avy's code
for these actions, I've defined this new version:
(add-to-list 'avy-dispatch-alist '(?: . (lambda (pt)
(goto-char pt)
(hkey-either)
(let ((dat (ring-ref avy-ring 0)))
(select-frame-set-input-focus
(window-frame (cdr dat)))
(select-window (cdr dat))
(goto-char (car dat))))))
Now hkey-either would run without losing the current focus and cursor
position. An example of use that occurs to me: for my translation of the
Odyssey into Spanish I have defined some implicit buttons that do the
following: if they are activated in a certain positions of the verse
(for example, at the beginning of the verse), it is shown in a temporary
postframe: a) the verse translated by me if the action is performed on
the original Greek verse and b) the original Greek verse if the action
is on the translated verse.
I think that is better seen in this short video:

Hi Juan:
I just tried your ':' technique for Hyperbole button activation with Avy
and it works well. But what is the advantage over just using Avy to jump
to the button and then pressing {M-RET}. With your technique, you have to
think about activating the button before you are there versus when you are
on it, as you normally do.

Hi all,
One of the few things that I miss from a desktop environment like Gnome
Shell or KDE Plasma (currently I use EXWM), is the good integration
these environments had with Nextcloud, as I am a heavy user of
Nextcloud. Many times I need to create and share a public link to a file
in my local folder. In the Nextcloud forum I learned how it can be done
from the command line using curl, so starting from that, it wasn’t very
difficult to write this function in Elisp to insert a public link at
point. It can be inserted in two ways: literally or as an Org bracket
link, with description.
For the function to work we must have: a) a folder within our local
Nextcloud directory dedicated exclusively to public files; b) a line
with our personal data in the ~/.authinfo file. Assuming, for example,
that we use a third-party Nextcloud service like Disroot, the necessary
line in authinfo would be:
machine cloud.disroot.org login <my-user-name> password <my-password>
And let’s go with the function. Before I have defined these three
variables:
┌────
│ (defvar nextcloud-url "https://cloud.disroot.org")
│ (defvar nextcloud-public-folder "~/disroot/Public/")
│ (defvar nextcloud-public-folder-name "Public")
└────
And the function itself (caveat: the function is not asynchronous):
┌────
│ (defun insert-nextcloud-link ()
│ (interactive)
│ (let* ((file-name (read-file-name "File: "
│ nextcloud-public-folder))

I would try to join.
One thing I always mention when conversations about recording come up is
that if you promote recordings as a resource, it is considered good form to
have transcription available. I'm pretty sure a community effort like this
world be under no ADA obligations (unlike company meetings) but still good
form.

I was just asking, out of curiosity, if it was planned to be published.
I really don't know where it could be published. I know PeerTube exists,
but I don't know how it works.
There is the YouTube option, which I imagine no one would like (me
neither). The only thing in its favor is that Invidious can be used to
watch the videos. BTW, I watch YT videos through Invidious in Emacs,
with the Ytel package and EMMS/MPV.

I can't commit to recording initially. I can't run them forever
either, but I'm happy to start the ball rolling.
Perhaps recording in the future?

I am using helm source for similar purposes.
The advantage is displaying live results.
I use Info search + helm-org-ql + live git query + notmuch query for the
mailing list.

Hi Ihor and all,
I wonder if you have seen Pollen’s approach to this? https://docs.racket-lang.org/pollen/pollen-command-syntax.html
There are two separate ideas used there which seemed related to this discussion. I’m not sure if they are useful in the org context.
1. The use of a special character (◊ by default) which introduces a command/inline special block. I don’t know if this would be worth considering as an alternative to @ (which also seems reasonable) to avoid ambiguity with other syntax. As the link above discusses it’s harder to type but there are solutions.
2. Making it easy to define custom functions that produce org syntax. A bit like perhaps Max's suggestion to use source blocks, but instead of writing AST-like structure directly in the document where you want it, you can call a previously defined function to build it. This is similar to org macros but I’m not sure if they are so flexible as a lisp function. There is also the option to choose between passing arguments as lisp (in [ ]) or as markup (in { })

Hi all,
For my personal use I have written a function which performs Org related
searches in different places. The list of places is expandable, but so
far I found them useful: this mailing list, the Org Manual (via org-ql),
the Git log and the Org Reddit. The idea was that everything would be
done without leaving Emacs confort, so the results from the internet are
returned in EWW.
Before entering the search term, it defaults to the word at point or the
marked region.
The function has two versions. The first version does not depend on any
external packages to display the options. The second version includes a
simple hydra. The hydra version has the advantage that you can have the
hydra buffer open and continue running more searches on the same term. I
don’t know if it’s very orthodox to include the definition of the hydra
inside the function (I would say no, I don’t know), but I couldn’t think
of another way to pass the argument to the different heads of the hydra…
It’s homemade and improvable code, but I’m attaching it here in an Org
document, in case someone finds it useful :-).
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

I missed this part of the manual.
If adding page break is this easy, I am not sure if we really need to
bother with macro.
The only thing might be adding the PageBreak style into
etc/styles/OrgOdtStyles.xml, which you likely missed. (see *Hint* in the
manual).
Or we may also add {{{odt-page-break}}} macro for odt specifically.

I like the "@" alternative a lot. And I agree with all three points. It is
also compact without losing clarity, and does not give the feeling of a
blank space before, as in the case of "_".

The macro seems like a good idea. The only (minor) inconvenience that I
see, if I have understood it correctly, is in the case of LaTeX, where
there are several commands that do different things: \pagebreak,
\clearpage, \newpage, etc.
Since \pagebreak is a more low-level command (introduces a hard break),
it could be left as the default command \clearpage, which starts a new
page and ends the old one. I don't know...
By the way, in LaTeX there is also the opposite of \pagebreak:
\nopagebreak, with a mandatory level from 1 to 4. I see this type of
commands more useful for defining new LaTeX commands than for inserting
them directly into the document.
And, in any case, I think this page break topic is most useful
especially for odt, which only has a hard break (and also splits the
paragraph in two if added inside the paragraph). For LaTeX, after all,
putting things like @@latex:\pagrebreak[2]@@ doesn't involve much
verbosity.
Anyway, the opendocument schema is completely arcane to me. I have taken
a look at the Org Manual and it says that this snippet adds a page break
in odt export:
#+odt:<text:p text:style-name="PageBreak"/>
But I have tried:
foo
#+odt:<text:p text:style-name="PageBreak"/>
bar
and the document is not exported with the page break. I don't know if
I'm missing something. But as i said, XML is beyond me :-).

Thanks for the detailed explanation!
It is now clear that pagebreak by itself may very much depend on the
specifics of the export backend and the place in the document.
Using page break at the same place for different export backends is
unlikely to be useful.
On the other hand, some backends (odt) are too cumbersome to put page
breaks within @@odt:...@@ export snippets.
What we do want is some way to put a page break just for odt or just for
latex.
May we introduce a new standard macro {{{page-break(backend)}}}
that will expand to an appropriate
@@backend:<whatever is needed to mark new page in the given backend@@
?
WDYT?

I have to admit that I am not a big fan of underscore in _name myself.
Just wanted to keep some resemblance of src_name{<contents>} yet not
making things too verbose (like block_name{<contents>}).
If I were to choose an alternative symbol other than "_", I'd choose
"@":
@name{<contents>}
@name{{<contents}}
@name[:key value ...]{<contents>}
1. It is similar to Texinfo
2. It does not clash with TeX
3. We already use @ in the inline export snippets.

And how about this:

This doesn't reach to paragraphs, but tags do a good job of
inserting \clearpage and \newpage before a section heading in
LaTeX export.

Indeed, page break can be placed anywhere. But inserting it before
paragraphs, at least in Org, is the least compromised by the
idiosyncrasies of each format: odt or LaTeX. And the most
format-agnostic. And on the other hand, in LaTeX and odt it's also the
safest place to put them, unless you want to add some fine-tuning in
either case.
Why would anyone want to add an explicit page break and interrupt the
natural flow of text on the page? It occurs to me that for two possible
reasons: a) for (let's say) "expressive" reasons, that is, because you
want certain content to start on a new page. And b) out of simple
necessity, to fix something you don't like: carry a line to the next
page, fix an overfull vbox in LaTeX, or a thousand other things.
Cuts by necessity can occur within the paragraph. But cutting a page
within a paragraph is a tricky thing. In libreoffice (and I think in any
word processor) you can place the cursor where you want to cut and press
control + enter. This creates a new page but also creates two
paragraphs, and we only want one paragraph, but with a page break in the
middle. I suppose that a forced line break should be added at the end of
the previous paragraph (and probably produce a very ugly result with
very wide spaces between words). But the section on the next page would
still be a new paragraph for libreoffice.
LaTeX is more refined, but the process and the caveats are the same.
\clearpage adds a new page (and a new paragraph) and terminates the old
one. And \pagebreak simply adds a page break (and the best place to add
it is between two paragraphs, I insist). If you have \flushbottom active
(by default in the book class), with \pagebreak LaTeX will do its best
to match the page height after \pagebreak, inserting the necessary
vertical space before the break. If you want to insert a page break
(\pagebreak) within a paragraph, LaTeX will choose the end of the line
to break. If you want to force the break exactly there, you'll probably
want to put something like \linebreak\par\pagebreak; again, you will now
find yourself with two paragraphs, and you will need to add at least one
\noindent before the second paragraph.
With all this, I mean: to what extent should Org care about all these
details, more related to fine-tuning the output format?
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

I do not like this idea.
Do note that page breaks may or may not lay between paragraphs or Org
elements. By its nature, page break is an object (in Org terminology).
I do understand your desire to allow putting page breaks before
headings. However, I think that proliferation of such export options is
a mistake. Instead, we should provide a generic way to define pre/post
text when exporting headings. We do discuss :export_templates in the
other thread, and we may as well define something similar but for
including the normal Org markup. (It should not be a property - I'd
rather have Org markup to be placed directly into the document and not
hidden inside properties drawer).
In any case, I'd rather discuss the question of putting staff prior to
exported heading in the :export_template thread.

There are also the Renaissance editions, especially those by Aldo
Manuzio or Robert Estienne, which are true works of art. One of my free
time projects is trying to reproduce with LuaTeX an edition of Aldo
Manuzio (including the imperfections), but since I have less and less
free time in my life it is a project that is on the dead track
indefinitely :-)

When I have tried to do something in real production with these packages
I have always had some problem. But I have done many tests with less
complex text and they do not work badly. Especially paracol, which is
based on multicol.

Yeah, TEI has become, whether we like it or not, the standard for the
transmission of texts in the digital Humanities. Certainly a TEI-mode
for Emacs, or even a TEI backend for Org would be two wonderful things
if they existed. But I imagine it would also be a tremendous job to make
them exist :-)

I did something with *roff, but it was a long time ago and nothing worth
remembering. I know *roff still has fans, and I remember seeing a
version out there that incorporates TeX's line break algorithms and has
support for opentype features. A kind of TeXroff, from what I
understand.
Most of my "typographical life" has revolved around TeX. But I entered
the world of TeX not through a standard TeX but through Omega, which was
an experimental version of TeX with Unicode support and a lot of very
sophisticated features, some of which not even LuaTeX has now by the
way, LuaTeX has taken a lot of ideas from Omega). Omega was fascinating,
but a horror to use. To install a TrueType font you had to go through a
few processes. Before using exclusively free software, I also used Adobe
Indesign quite a bit, and know it reasonably well. In fact InDesign has
also borrowed a lot from TeX.
Lately there have been some very interesting (and open source) projects
of new typesetting systems based on TeX but more modern. Among them, I
am very attracted to SILE (https://sile-typesetter.org/), and I have
played quite a lot with this system. It is written entirely in Lua and
supports multithreading. But this and other new projects have one major
problem (IMO): LaTeX. Or, rather, the absence of LaTeX. TeX and any
other typesetting system based on it is unusable as such. Its primitives
are a series of basic physical processes on the page. The good news is
that Knuth made TeX extensible (like Emacs) to be used through a
'format'. And LaTeX format, with its vast repertoire of macro packages,
has made TeX usable by a huge range of users. All those macro packages
are a job already done that nobody is going to be willing to do it
again. Therefore, I believe that any new typesetting system that is not
(in some way) compatible with LaTeX will unfortunately be doomed. The
alternative is that something modular and monolithic like ConTeXt might
emerge, but not with the richness and variety (sometimes excessive,
admittedly) of LaTeX.

Juan Manuel

I agree. In the case of odt its xml is a pain for me to deal with, and
usually I have to open an odt document in Emacs and look at the
contents.xml file to find the (probably) correct tag Between that
hideous labyrinth of tags :-)
Well, considering that the most sensible place (IMO) to introduce an
explicit page break would be before almost anything that isn't a section
(since in sections page breaks should be defined by style), how about
something like this:
#+ATTR_LATEX: :pagebreak \clearpage
#+ATTR_ODT: :pagebreak t
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit...
(In the case of LaTeX the expected value of :pagebreak could be any of
several commands that LaTeX has for page breaking (or any other
arbitrary code). And if you put :pagebreak t, the default value would be
\pagebreak.
And to introduce an explicit break before a heading, the above could be
added as a property.

I'm currently using the \clearpage too. So having a "native" element in ORG
may be superconvenient

Demóstenes y Esquines, Cartas atribuidas. Publisher: Dykinson.
Perhaps it is not yet in the catalog, because the book is very recent.
On this page you can see other critical editions (among other books)
that I have produced:
https://maciaschain.gitlab.io/lunotipia/muestra_trabajos.html. Certainly
critical editions are some of the most fascinating kinds of books out
there. My favorites are the Oxford Classical Texts, the Budé Collection,
and Teubner. In bilingual format the Loeb Classical Texts are also
excellent. All these have marked a canon.

I think that the automatic synchronization of the facing pages of a
bilingual editions, either in TeX or in any other software, is a utopia.
Or, to be less radical and pessimistic, that is something possible in
very few scenarios. The ideal scenario would be for text A and text B to
have *exactly* the same number of lines and the same content per page.
This rarely happens. When it comes to poetry in verse it is more common
to happen. But factors such as the corpus of footnotes or the critical
apparatus, which are parts of the page with a variable height, also have
an influence. In the case of this book there was a significant gap
between the two texts. That is to say, that in the end a manual
intervention is necessary to balance the pages according to the content.
In the case of TeX/LaTeX, the single-thread TeX limitation is also
added. Packages like parallel (or paracol, which is newer) work fine
when dealing with simple text. At more complexity they are unusable. And
furthermore, in this case text A is a critical edition that needs its
own configuration. Parallel or paracol simply don't work here.
The case of reledpar could be the solution (since it is a version of
reledmac for parallel texts), but, unfortunately, it almost never is.
Reledpar works fine (more or less) when the scenario I mentioned at the
beginning occurs: if text A and text B are almost identical in length
page to page and paragraph to paragraph. Otherwise, manual
synchronization becomes very difficult and reledpar has a very erratic
behavior. Reledmac is wonderful, but I think reledpar is not a good
package and my recommendation is to avoid using it if possible.
As I said at the beginning, the ideal in TeX/LaTeX would be to be able
to compile with true parallel threads of text with a different
configuration, which is impossible. So my strategy is to create two
separate documents and load them with pdfpages. The good thing is that
Org helps a lot in this process, giving the feeling that I am working
with true parallel threads, since all the processes involved are
asynchronous.

You might also want to take a look at ekdosis, a new package for
critical editions. It is not as complete as reledmac (for now), but it
has some interesting features, such as the possibility of exporting to
TEI.
As for what you ask me about the synchronization, this one is visual. It
is inevitable, from what I said before. And I think it is also
necessary. No matter how sophisticated typographic software is, in the
end human intervention is always necessary for things like this, which
depend on content and not on form. And for things like correcting
typographic rivers and such. Maybe in the not too distant future we can
train an IA to do it, but at the moment TeX doesn't understand content
:-). Of course, this synchronization must be done when both texts are
already hypercorrected. It is enough to add some marks to the text,
indicating where to generate a cut. Reledmac has the \ledpb command for
it, which I have redefined like this:
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\led@check@pb}{\xifinlist{\the\absline@num}{\l@prev@pb}{\clearpage}{}}
\makeatother

Page-specific commands (such as page styles, reference labels, and so
on) are not in the original PDFs but are passed through the pdfpages
package, using the 'pagecommand' key. For example, with PDF pages you
can put something like (for page 1):
\includepdf[pages={1},noautoscale=true,pagecommand={\thispagestyle{empty}\label{foo}]{file.pdf}
What my function does is get the number of pages in the PDF and do all
that work, adding the commands I want on the needed page.

Interesting. For critical editions (among other text types for
Humanities), the standard for storing textual data is TEI
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_Encoding_Initiative). The problem
with TEI (at least for me) is that it consists of XML, and I hate XML
:-). In this regard, I think that a lightweight markup language as
powerful as Org could be a good alternative to TEI. And Org is indeed
human-readable. One could even think of a possible Org backend for
TEI...

We already link to some non-English talks about Org.
It is just a matter of indicating the language near the WORG link.
Having both English and Spanish will be even better.
To add your blog article link to WORG, you can just make a patch against

Fine-tuning commands should indeed be dedicated to specific export
backends. It is generally meaningless to have \clearpage in html export.
However, \pagebreak specifically is something people use in plain text
files, and it may be useful for odt exports.

:export_template will indeed work for LaTeX. What I am looking for here
is some useful functionality that may be generalized to multiple export
backends.

Precisely I have in mind to publish in my blog on typography
(https://lunotipia.juanmanuelmacias.com/) an extended and more detailed

I really don't have an opinion at the moment... As a user I try to put
as few direct LaTeX commands as possible: commands like \newpage,
\pagebreak, \clearpage, \bigskip, \quad, etc. Whenever I can, I
prefer to control spaces and page breaks using more general macros. And,
when I put these commands, the fact of resorting to an export snippet
does not usually bother me, since they are not very verbose commands.
But I don't know what other users will think...
> 2. You had to use direct LaTeX for caption. Can we do something to make

Yes, I use direct LaTeX in that case because I need to put the command
\caption*, the starred version of \caption provided by the caption
package. And before \caption*, I wanted to also add a \captionsetup. For
those cases, I think the :caption attribute already does a good job.
What would be interesting (IMO) is to be able to introduce arbitrary code
within the figure environment through an attribute, but this is where
the possible :export_template attribute could come into play, as we
discussed in the other thread.

Juan Manuel

What is the name of this book / the publisher's page? I don't really know Spanish, and only a little Greek, but I'm fascinated by bilingual editions, especially with critical apparati. I've been looking for a workflow for creating my own (possibly critical) bilingual works, but so far, months later, I haven't really found anything satisfactory.

Are you aware of Kevin Klement's trilingual edition[1] of Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus? (OK, it's technically bilingual, but with two separate English translations along with the original German!) He uses PHP (gross, I know!) to collate everything into a LaTeX document to then generate the various final versions. Besides the PHP, you might pick up a technique or two! (Or three!)

I somehow cannot relate to it, Hyperbole and Org mode are quite
different things. I have Hyperbole all the time here running, no
matter if I use Org mode or what other lightweight markup language.
Let's say there is region marked, I use sometimes Hyperbole to search
Internet for marked term. That is not related and not comparable to
Org mode which is meant to handle markup in a text file.
Hyperbole is what it says, extravagant exaggeration. It is meta to
Org.
I have specific window setup with different buffers and I want to
remember it, then I use Hyperbole {C-h h w n a} to remember it.
One can understand it by running demo {C-h h d d}, it is not related
to Org mode, it is to be used in Emacs over anything, regardless of modes.

I notice two things here:

May it be useful to have page break syntax element in Org?

Hi all,
TL; DR:
The bilingual critical edition (ancient Greek/Spanish) of the letters of
Demosthenes and Aeschines has recently been published in Spain, a book
whose production and typesetting I have taken charge of, using Org and
Org-publish. Although I already have a long experience typesetting
bilingual editions of a certain complexity, especially for philological
use, I had never done it until now by centralizing the entire process in
Org-Mode. I have to say that it has been a very interesting experience,
so I leave here below a brief description of the process and some tips,
in case they can be useful to someone who wants to prepare from Org
bilingual texts with facing pages and certain complexity.
BTW, Here’s a sample of two pages from the book:
<https://i.imgur.com/XUOGEnf.png>
Long version:
First of all, for this kind of work you have to take into account an
inherent limitation of TeX: the compilation process in TeX is a
single-threaded process. That is, in TeX you cannot compile different
parts of a document, with different configurations (= different
preambles), at the same time. For example, you cannot have one
configuration for odd pages and another for even pages (original and
translation) and compile them in parallel and asynchronously. In Adobe
InDesign-style DTP programs you can load multiple page threads in
parallel, but these programs don’t have the typographic refinement of
TeX. And besides, I never use proprietary software ;-).
Therefore, to create a bilingual edition with facing pages, and for this
particular type of book where the odd pages (the text in Greek) is a
critical edition with a strong critical apparatus
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_apparatus), it is necessary to
compile two separate documents and then synchronize them. The good news:
I have found that, thanks to Org, the process is much more streamlined
and controlled.
On the other hand, since in this book the content of the odd and even
pages is variable, the synchronization has been done per page, so that
the reader always obtains the same content on the odd and even page when
facing the open book. For the Greek document I used the reledmac LaTeX
package, which is the most mature LaTeX package for philological
critical editions, but I used it through my org-critical-edition package
(<https://gitlab.com/maciaschain/org-critical-edition>).
Once both PDFs are obtained and synchronized, they are loaded into the
master Org document using the pdfpages LaTeX package. Since it was
necessary to introduce in certain pages some commands specific to each
page, such as page styles, index entries or labels for references, and
to avoid having to load the pages one by one with pdfpages commands, I
wrote a function that obtains the number of pages of the synchronized
PDF (via mutool) and it does all that work. The function has three
arguments: the path to the synced PDF, the general page command, and a
list of page numbers with particular commands (these last two arguments
are optional). An example of use would be:
┌────
│ (inserta-pdfpages-bi "resultado.pdf" "\\thispagestyle{plain}" '((2 "\\label{some-label}")))
└────
The function is evaluated in the master document within a source block:
<https://i.imgur.com/yps6xRA.png>
To compile the two PDFs separately and get the PDF in sync, I also do it
from Org using a shell source block. So I have all PDFs always
synchronized up to date. The synchronized PDF is obtained with pdftk:
<https://i.imgur.com/qbSg2po.png>
The rest of the book, introduction, indices, etc. it is normally done
via Org publish. And the final compilation (the master document that
includes all sub-documents) is done asynchronously using latexmk.
And that’s it. The next challenge for this fall is going to be a
trilingual edition of the New Testament (Greek, Latin, Spanish). My idea
is to try to adapt to Org the use of the LaTeX package flowfram (an
attempt to create dynamic indesign-style text boxes in LaTeX, but
---because of TeX's limitations--- they would not be asynchronous
boxes). Then, each text in a language would go inside an org block.
We'll see how it turns out :-)
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Maybe the org-make-toc package can help you with what you're looking for:
https://github.com/alphapapa/org-make-toc
You can choose a heading on every document to contain a TOC. And then link each heading via org-transclusion:

OK, it makes sense. I can try something on this idea, although I'm
afraid not in the short term. If someone else wants to do it I have no
problem.

What I have in mind is to modify `org-export-read-attribute' directly.
Then, we can call `org-export-read-attribute' in `org-export-data';
resolve the refs in the template (re-use code from
`org-babel-ref-resolve' and `org-babel-parse-multiple-vars'); do normal
export and pass it to the template. Before running the normal export, we
strip :export_template from the INFO to avoid issues with ox-html which
puts every single attr into the generated html.

Hi, Timothy,

Wow, it's in plainTeX... I've tried cleaning that document and removing
most of the code, as it's unnecessary. I've left just the sections in a
new LaTeX document, and redefined the \key command like so:
\newcommand\key[2]{%
#1 \quad%
\{\{\{kbd(#2)\}\}\}\par}
so that a line like this:
\key{rotate current subtree between states}{TAB}
produce in the PDF this, literally:
rotate current subtree between states {{{kbd(TAB)}}}
I don't know if this could help to copy the text from the PDF, create an
Org document and then manipulate those macros. In case this helps, I'm
attaching the new tex document here.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Well, it's evident that your idea of the export_template attribute is
very productive and can be consistently extended to more situations. One
scenario where I think it would be very useful is also in tables and
figures, but in this case to insert arbitrary code *inside* the table,
figure, etc. environments. This is something that gets asked on the list
from time to time and the solutions provided are usually a bit tricky.
Going back to the earlier :ATTR_BACKEND: issue as a property for
headings, I've been doing some testing and scribbled down a possible
function[1] whose code is almost entirely stolen from
org-export-read-attribute, with some modifications. Evaluated at the
headline, it returns the value of the ATTR_BACKEND property as a plist.
And then that plist could be easily manipulated on each backend to
format export_template conveniently. For example:
* headline
:PROPERTIES:
:ATTR_LaTeX: :export_template \begin{myenv}\n%s\n\end{myenv}
:ATTR_LaTeX+: blah blah blah
:END:
==> (:export_template "\\begin{myenv}\\n%s\\n\\end{myenv} blah blah blah")
I don't know if that would be the way to go...

I do not insist on this. I just see supporting this easier (it will work
automatically) compared to explicitly limiting :export_template to
headings/inlinetasks.
Also, some people prefer to have such option (Pedro Andres Aranda

I really like this approach and I would buy it. On the one hand, if I
understand correctly, it's a universal solution that doesn't depend on a
particular backend (although, to be honest, I don't see much use for
this beyond LaTeX: maybe in HTML). And, on the other hand,
`:export_template' is an attribute that can be, as you say, very
versatile. With this, in my opinion, it would no longer be necessary to
define two 'pre' and 'post' attributes.
I imagine the value of ATTR_BACKEND (would quotes be necessary?) could
be easily converted to a plist, with code borrowed from
`org-export-read-attribute':
(:export_template "\\begin{myenv}\\n%s\\n\\end{myenv} ... etc. ...")
> #+ATTR_BACKEND: :export_template "can also work on non-headings"
> Paragraph.
In this case I would not see it necessary, IMHO. For simple things (of
the begin/end style) there are the special blocks. And for more complex
pre- and/or post- code we have export blocks and export snippets. Since
there is no heading involved here, there would be no danger of the
pre-code leaving with the content of the previous header.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Yeah. Extra matcher is probably too cumbersome.
Yet, I feel like conditional prefix/suffix may be useful in some
scenarios.
Having read the available replies in this thread, I am thinking of the
following:
1. Instead of explicit prefix and suffix, we can unify extra text around
the exported Org element to a template:
* headline
:PROPERTIES:
:ATTR_BACKEND: :export_template "\begin{myenv}\n%s\n\end{myenv}"
:ATTR_BACKEND+: "The %%s instances are replaced by the exported element"
:ATTR_BACKEND+: (concat "arbitrary sexp, the exported element is bound to: " *this*)
:ATTR_BACKEND+: babel_block_name(exported=*this*)
:ATTR_BACKEND+: "the property lines are concatenated with \" \" (space),"
:ATTR_BACKEND+: "just like the usual approach in `org-export-read-attribute'"
:END:
#+ATTR_BACKEND: :export_template "can also work on non-headings"
Paragraph.
2. The generic Org export routine will remove the :export_template
attributes prior to passing the element to backend-defined export
transcoder, thus avoiding the problem Max raised wrt ox-html
attributes.
3. Similar to :export_template, we can have
:export_prefix/:export_suffix, but I feel that the template will be
more flexible.
WDYT?

Imagine, for example, that you have defined a LaTeX command that changes
the style of the section (or chapter, subsection, or whatever) below.
And you want to apply it before a certain section. If for any reason you
comment out the preceding section, or mark it as non-exportable, or even
delete it, the preceding command is no longer there when you export to
LaTeX. That would also happen if you move the section.

If Section heading is demoted all the way to paragraph, I assume that
the expected will happen: that in the output to LaTeX a string will be
added before \paragraph and another string after the content of
\paragraph, which is perfectly consistent with the behavior of these two
properties. It is not that I intend to insist on a discussion; I just
don't quite understand what you mean. Note that these properties are for
LaTeX fine-tuning, and the user is expected to know what he/she wants
and where he/she wants it. If a user wants the arbitrary LaTeX code
before a certain header to be exported as a section (because, for
example, he/she has defined a command in LaTeX that changes the style of
the next \section), you would expect to put those properties in a
"\section" heading.

Yes, I agree with that, and I had already commented on it in my previous
message, based on what Maxim had pointed out before, that the names I
had chosen were too imprecise. I like part of what you propose below:
`:attr_latex: :prepend'.

I see. But in any case, something like `:prepend "section"' would be
unnecessary (and even counterproductive) for what I'm proposing, but I'm
afraid I didn't explain myself well in the first message. One of the
benefits of approaching this issue with a few minor modifications to
org-latex-headline is that the result is regardless of the section level
at which the property is applied. We may want to prefix the section with
a specific LaTeX code only for \section (or \paragraph or whatever) and
we may want to introduce a more general LaTeX code, level-agnostic.
Explicitly put "section", "subsection", etc, IMHO unnecessarily
complicates things. But I also insist (as I said at the beginning) that
I don't know if this use case can also be extended to other users.

There is nothing wrong about this, but I feel that this kind of approach
is encouraging to shoot your own leg a bit too much. It will be better
if Org provides a semantics that is facilitating more safe approach.

It may produce unexpected results if "Section" heading is demoted all
the way to paragraph. Also, :presec/:postsec property names are
confusing --- it is unclear if they are specific to LaTeX. (when about,

Yes, org-latex-classes is controlling the entire document. What I am
proposing (as an alternative) is subtree-level equivalent of
org-latex-classes that is also close to org-latex-classes semantics.
More concretely, I mean something like
* Section
:PROPERTIES:
:attr_latex: :prepend "section" \setcounter{secnumdepth}{0}
:attr_latex+: :prepend "section" \addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{0}\ignorespaces}
:attr_latex+: :append "section" \setcounter{secnumdepth}{2}
:attr_latex+: :append "section" \addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{2}\ignorespaces}
:END:
I suggest to use more canonical attr_latex that explicitly limits the
export backend.
Further, it mentions a regexp limiting the applicable LaTeX environment
("section"). In other environments, the code will be omitted.

Special blocks is usually the best solution for these cases. But
(without wishing to add more fuel to old discussions) I think it would
be nice to have as attr_latex a series of positions similar to the hooks
in the etoolbox LaTeX package:
\AtBeginEnvironment
\AtEndEnvironment
\BeforeBeginEnvironment
\AfterEndEnvironment
Something like :pre :post :precontent :postcontent.
In the case of blocks, I think this would simplify the documents a lot
if what you are looking for makes sense only in LaTeX export (special
blocks are exported to everything).
And in the case of floating objects such as tables or figures, it would
be really useful, since here you cannot resort to the use of special
blocks (*inside* those environments, I mean), and the workarounds that are
usually provided are still a bit tricky.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

I don't see why, if the user knows LaTeX and knows what he/she is doing.
Sometimes it's just adding an "\addtocontents" just before the
section/subsection,etc. The property that adds the string before and the
property that adds the string after are understood to affect the entire
heading at the current level and its contents, including lower levels.
For example, if someone wants the current heading (and all its
sublevels) not to be included in the TOC but to be included in the
headers of the pages, it would suffice to (I keep here the original name
of the properties that I proposed in the patch, but I think Maxim's
proposed name is more accurate):
-----------------------------------
* Section
:PROPERTIES:
:presec: \setcounter{secnumdepth}{0}
:presec+: \addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{0}\ignorespaces}
:postsec: \setcounter{secnumdepth}{2}
:postsec+: \addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{2}\ignorespaces}
:END:
Lorem ipsum dolor.

Apologies in advance if I misunderstood what you're suggesting, but
isn't the "org-latex-classes" property supposed to affect the structure
of the entire document? What I'm proposing here is rather something
specific to particular headings (and its entire content), like the
":ALT_TITLE:" property. If I understand correctly, what you are
suggesting is that org-latex-classes can have "local values" for
specific headings, if such headings are 'marked' with some property?

Please remember that headlines may be exported as parts, sections,
subsections, list items, or paragraphs depending on the headline level.
Arbitrary pre/post commands may unexpectedly break things during export.
However, I do agree that per-heading control over latex export is
currently cumbersome.
The canonical ox-latex approach to customize headline export is
org-latex-classes variable. This variable defines (among other things)
pre/post commands during headline export:

What about allowing to customize these open/close statements on
per-heading level during export? This will be more consistent with the
existing ox-latex structure.

I would find something like this useful as I often have commands such as
\newpage and \appendix preceding a headline, commands that are indeed
not really part of the previous element.
I've not tried your patch: I've been on holiday [1] and have come back
to 3000+ emails so I'll be some time...

Juan Manuel, can it be implemented using a derived backend that calls
the original variant of headline transcoder (`org-latex-headline') and
adds pre/post code to the returned value? I have not tried to implement
this idea, so perhaps I just have missed something obvious. Actually I
wonder if the purpose of your patch is solely convenience or you faced a
limitation with no reasonable workaround.
My only real objection is that the new keywords works for LaTeX only,
but their names are rather generic. Moreover, Org's term is "headline",
not "section". I would consider something like
- :headline_pre_latex: \begingroup\foo
- :headline_pre: :latex \begingroup\foo
By the way, are affiliated keywords a part of the following headline?
* Section One
#+attr_latex: :headline_pre \begingroup\foo
* Section Two

Hi all,
I don't know if the following scenario usually appears in the workflow
of other Org users as well. Otherwise, I think this patch could be
ignored.
In my workflow I often need to pre- or postpend some LaTeX code
immediately before or after a section. Consider the following example:
------------------
* A section
Lorem ipsum
#+latex: \foo
* Another section
Lorem ipsum
-----------------
The \foo command affects the second section, but for Org it belongs to
the content of the first section. If I comment this section out or mark
it as non-exportable, then the LaTeX code has no effect. I think a
simple solution could be to have the PRESEC AND POSTSEC properties to
prepend or postpend arbitrary code to a section. These properties could be
extended with PRESEC+ and POSTSEC+. An example of use:
* Section
:PROPERTIES:
:presec: \begingroup\foo
:postsec: \endgroup
:END:
...
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Hi,
Thank you for your answer.
> Are you including citations in your letter?
No, that's also why it is puzzling. You should be able to reproduce the issue by creating a really minimalist init file including the following:
```
(with-eval-after-load 'ox-latex
(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes '("letter" "\\documentclass{letter}"))
)
(setq org-latex-pdf-process (list "latexmk -shell-escape -f -pdf %f"))
```
As mentioned in my previous mail, the error also appears when using `pdflatex` instead of `latexmk`.
Best,
M

Hmm, it's weird. With your configuration I cannot reproduce the problem.
Anyway, I have Org configured so that it doesn't load any package in the
preamble.
And if you directly compile the .tex file generated by org during
export, does it also give you an error? Could you please paste the
preamble of that tex file here, up to the \begin{document}?
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Equivalently you can do

(or use `re-search-forward' with the [:nonascii:] character class.)

I think this is not 100% related to what you're proposing, but if it
helps, I use the excellent org-super-agenda package a lot, which allows
you to sort and compose the agenda view according to many parameters:
tags, priorities, properties, etc:

Thank you for your answer!
I may not have been specific enough:
I want the tags also inherited with this "method"
https://orgmode.org/manual/Tag-Hierarchy.html.
So imagine this in your configuration file
(setq org-tag-alist '((:startgrouptag)
("GTD")
(:grouptags)
("Control")
(:Persp)
(:endgrouptag)
(:startgrouptag)
( Control)
(:grouptags)
("Context")
(:Task")
(:endgrouptag))
So, if I put the "Control" tag, I am also supposed to have the "GTD" tag,
because "Control" is a child of "GTD".
But, with the "org-get-tags" function, I don't have this famous "GTD" tag

In my case, I do manage to get the iherited tags. Do you have
`org-use-tag-inheritance' set to non-nil?

I hope that selenium is currently overkill, however more sites are
starting to use anti-DDOS shields like cloudflare and HTTP client may be
banned just because it does not fetch other resources like JS scripts.
I do not have a patch, just an idea: export backend that ignores
everything besides link and either send requests from lisp code or
generate file for another tool.
#+attr_linklint: ...
may be used to specify regexp that target page is expected to contain.
There are some complications like e.g. "info:" links having special code
to generate HTML with URL derived from original path. So it may be more
robust to parse HTML document (without checking of linked document text).

This is a good idea.
Selenium is probably an overkill since we should better not link JS-only
websites from the manual anyway. What we can do instead is a make target
that will use something like wget.
Patches are welcome!

Maybe, instead of repairing the links manually, we could think of some
code that would do this work periodically, and also check the health of
the links, running a url request on each link and returning a list of
broken links. I don't know if it is possible to do something like that
in Elisp, as I don't have much experience with web and link issues. I
think there are also external tools, like Selenium Web Driver, but my
experience with it is very limited (I use Selenium from time to time
when I want to take a screenshot of a web page).
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Thanks!
Applied onto main via 243ded74b adding one sentence to the =LANGUAGE=
keyword description and changing the ctan links to https.
I have added a short description of what LANGUAGE keyword value is:
"Language code of the primary document language."

I went with https. It does open at least in some cases. The problem with
CTAN certificates is not our problem. Users may still search the
relevant documents if the link is dead.
Note that we still have a number of http links in the manual. One may
want to fix them.

Very very nice,
Till now I used only a very simple search function

"Simple function to search for no ASCII symbols in a file."

I would suggest https (TLS) link and title of the document. I believe
that is should be a requirement for "official" CTAN mirrors to have
valid TLS certificate.
P.S. Why there is no ol-texdoc.el?

Sorry for the offtopic, but I thought this homemade function I wrote
some time ago for my work might perhaps be useful to some Orgers. When
executed in a buffer, the `list-non-latin-chars' function opens a window
displaying a list of all the non (basic) Latin characters present in
that document. Each item in the list contains the character, its Unicode
canonical name, and its hexadecimal code. For example:
殿 CJK IDEOGRAPH-6BBF #6bbf
Also, each item is a button (created with button.el). If the button
is activated, there are currently two options: a: execute occur on that
character in the document; b : execute describe-char on that character.
By default, the characters displayed in the list correspond to any
Unicode block other than basic-latin. Which means that the zero width
space character is included, a very famous character in this mailing
list :-)
And here is the code (lexical binding is required). Of course, feedback
welcome.

Hi, Ihor. Sorry for my late reply. These last few days have been a bit
complicated for me due to work issues.

I am attaching a new version of the patch.
Addendum: Just as I was going to send this email, I saw the other email
from Maxim in this thread, who says:

I can't figure out how to link to the babel documentation in a way other
than a link to CTAN. If this might be an inconvenience (due to https
issues), perhaps we could simply put in the documentation something like
'see the Babel docs', or referencing the command 'texdoc -M
babel', which opens the locally installed babel documentation. The
problem is that not all GNU/Linux distributions include the
documentation in their versions of TeX live. For example, Arch Linux
does not include documentation in the official repos and must be
installed separately via an AUR package.

Juan Manuel

Thanks!
I tried to apply your patch and read the relevant section of the manual
from the beginning. I feel that the new wording is awkward.
The patch is adding text to LaTeX export settings section where
individual #+KEYWORDS are discussed. Yet, the patch goes deeply into
setting some variables from the very beginning only providing a single
example where the #+LANGUAGE keyword is actually used.
I attached the screenshot of HTML version of the manual for clarity.

I feel like we should first describe what #+LANGUAGE keyword does and
go into the gory details of LaTeX language support a bit later.
Basically, I am asking you to reshuffle paragraphs a bit possibly moving
some parts to more relevant 13.10.3 LaTeX header and sectioning
structure. People have no idea about #+LATEX_HEADER when reading 13.10.2
LaTeX specific export settings (coming before the 13.10.3).

https://sourcehut.org/ seems to gain popularity, but they charge a
fee. But it might still be less expensive than hosting your own gitlab
repository. (I have no affiliation with sourcehut and I am not an expert).

No problem for posting to two lists. I didn't know about emacs-humanities
<emacs-humanities@gnu.org>.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I plan to set up my own GitLab instance in
the future, but I don't have time to do it anytime soon.
BTW, is there any proprietary JavaScript free alternative to
GitLab/GitHub? I would be very grateful for any recommendations.
(I noticed that my previous message was sent to the duplicate list.
Apologies for that).
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Hi all,
I've added some minor improvements to my little package 'org-verse-num',
which was born out of necessity in my translation to spanish
(work-in-progress) of Homer's Odyssey (11600 verses spread over 24
books):
https://gitlab.com/maciaschain/org-verse-num
org-verse-num includes some functions and a minor mode to aid in
navigating through (very) long poems within an Org-mode verse block. It
displays verse numbers sequentially (avoiding empty lines between
stanzas) and you can also move the cursor to a specific verse number.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Thanks a lot for the suggestion, Ihor. With this I also realize that 90%
of my functions have the first line of the docstring too long...
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Applied onto main via e47bcb021 with minor amendments: I fixed a typo
"polyglosia" and shortened the first line of a docstring to less than 80
chars.
FYI, there is display-fill-column-indicator-mode, which is useful to
guide the docstring in Elisp. Just need to set fill-column to 80.

What you say makes a lot of sense. Really the only reason why I avoided
doing something like that was rather the economy, so I didn't have to
put things like (two properties instead of one):
:babel xx :babel-ini-only t etc.
It is also expected that babel-ini-only is a 'temporary' property. At
least I would like it to be so.
According to the Babel documentation:
> Babel is moving gradually from the old and fuzzy concept of language
> to the more modern of locale.
Which is precisely what the new ini files are meant for. Now these files
can only be loaded via \babelprovide or by adding provide=* (and some
other variants) to the babel arguments (this last option is not
supported by my patch, for pdfLaTeX compatibility, where ini files don't
work. I imagine that when that transition is complete, there will be a
more inclusive and universal interface in babel.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Thank you, Juan Manuel. The patch looks like what I was trying to
suggest. However I have not tried to implement fontenc on the top of it.

Likely never variant is ideal. Maybe language should be always in :babel
and :babel-ini-only should be boolean. I am not sure though that it will
not make code more complex in other places, so feel free to ignore this
comment.

Thanks for your comments and patience, and sorry again for the typos.
I am attaching a new fixed version of the patch. If everything is ok, I
get down to work with the Manual and NEWS. I think it would be nice to
add a few usage examples, and some links to the Babel and Polyglossia
documentation.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Thanks! I have some minor comments on the patch.

No dot after the firs message line, please.

A simpler form would be
("am" :babel-ini-only "amharic" :polyglossia "amharic" :lang-name "Amharic")

The first line of the docstring should fit 80 characters and be a full
sentence. It is needed to make sure that eldoc can display the short
docstring in the message area.

`:polyglossia', I think.

May we put some kind of reference to LaTeX docs here?

Please end the comment sentence with ".".

Hi,
I've managed to get some free time to remake this list, following Maxim
Nikulin's suggestion
(https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/taeb0a$r62$1@ciao.gmane.io/). It's no
longer an anonymous list and I agree it now has a more robust structure
with name fields. I have also added the `:lang-name' property, whose
value is the actual language name. For example:
("el-polyton" . (:babel "polutonikogreek" :polyglossia "greek"
:polyglossia-variant "polytonic" :lang-name "Polytonic Greek"))
Thanks to this I think the code for org-latex-guess-babel-language,
org-latex-guess-polyglossia-language and org-latex--format-spec is also
simpler.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

I'm late joining this thread, although I am particularly interested in
the topic.
I can't make any technical comments because I haven't had time to test
the patch yet, but I have to say that your idea of using a special
entity seems to me the best approach to the problem. I would vote for
this to be the way to go.
I believe that using the zero width space character as an escape
character is not a happy idea, and I have already left my arguments in
some other thread, long ago. The zero width space is a random
workaround, but should not (in my opinion) be part of the markup. For
various reasons: it is not an ascii character, there are certain
contexts in which it can produce an unexpected result in LaTeX, etc. In
addition, the zero width space, as an escape character, has a curious
anomaly: it is an escape character that does not have a plan B and a way
to escape the escape character when you want to use it by itself.
I also like the idea of using a special entity because it is not
necessary to invent anything new and it takes advantage of an existing
resource.
Well, that's my opinion.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Ihor, I have realized that you did not address another use case: zero
width spaces may be added to suppress activation of markup. In such
cases they are in the middle of text objects, but they should be removed.
Switch to the *scratch* buffer.
I consider zero width spaces as a workaround that is acceptable in some
cases but awkward in others. It is tricky to deal with it in some
general way.
I do not agree with the stance "just maintain status quo" expressed in
response to Juan Manuel Macías. On zero width spaces and Org syntax.

https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87ilw5yhv3.fsf@posteo.net/
An idea. At certain moment I was surprised that markup markers are not
activated at the borders of export snippets:
intra@@org:@@*w*@@org:@@ord
It is not really lightweight markup but at least it is purely ASCII and
visible by default. It might be breaking change in some edge cases. I am
unsure concerning increasing complexity of the parser. Macro markers
{{{macro}}} have similar behavior.

Hi Ihor,
A thousand apologies for my horrible carelessness with the parentheses.
I should have checked the code. Here goes the patch again corrected. I
hope it's alright now.

Yes, I removed it because I thought it was not necessary, because after
all the user must put a supported language as the value of #+language.
Anyway, in case it breaks something backwards I have replaced it. Now
the or expression is:
(or (nth 1 (assoc-string lang org-latex-language-alist t))
lang)

Your (nth 1 ...) sexp is inside the let definition:
(let ((lang ...)
(nth 1 ..))
nil)
Please pay attention to the compiler warnings.
Also, the original code contained the clause:
(or (get lang from the alist1)
(get lang from the alist2)
lang ; Fallback to provided language if not known.
)
Your variant does not have the fallback part. Is it intentional?

Hmm. You are indeed right. I missed the condition-case part.
In any case, re-search-backward is not reliable when you have inlinetasks.

The path you took is indeed a bit awkward.
You may need to use the approach similar to orgtbl-to-latex.
Also, things to watch are org-export-exclude-tags,
org-export-with-section-numbers, org-export-with-archived-trees,
org-export-with-broken-links (we don't want tangle to fail because of
broken links), org-export-with-inlinetasks, org-export-with-toc,
and org-export-with-tasks.

"Function to" can be safely dropped. See D.6 Tips for Documentation
Strings in Elisp manual:
• The first line of the documentation string should consist of one or
two complete sentences that stand on their own as a summary. ‘M-x
apropos’ displays just the first line, and if that line’s contents
don’t stand on their own, the result looks bad. In particular,
start the first line with a capital letter and end it with a
period.
For a function, the first line should briefly answer the question,
“What does this function do?” For a variable, the first line should
briefly answer the question, “What does this value mean?”
Don’t limit the documentation string to one line; use as many lines
as you need to explain the details of how to use the function or
variable. Please use complete sentences for the rest of the text
too.
• The first line should mention all the important arguments of the
function, and should mention them in the order that they are
written in a function call. If the function has many arguments,
then it is not feasible to mention them all in the first line; in
that case, the first line should mention the first few arguments,
including the most important arguments.
• For consistency, phrase the verb in the first sentence of a
function’s documentation string as an imperative—for instance, use
“Return the cons of A and B.” in preference to “Returns the cons of
A and B.” Usually it looks good to do likewise for the rest of the
first paragraph. Subsequent paragraphs usually look better if each
sentence is indicative and has a proper subject.
Best,
Ihor

Hi, Ihor,
Here is a new fixed version of the patch, with the addition to NEWS.
Ihor Radchenko writes:
>> - (org-back-to-heading t) ; Sets match data
>> - (match-end 0))

I've reverted the first line to (org-back-to-heading t), keeping the
(match-beginning 0), otherwise you don't get the full headline and all
property drawers would be exported. But it's strange, it doesn't give me
any error when the source block is before the first headline in the
document. Isn't that error prevented with this:
(condition-case nil
...
(error (point-min)))
?
By the way, I've noticed that it's not convenient to export numbered
headers, so I've modified org-babel-export-comment-text-as-plain-text so
that it removes header numbering. I don't know if it's ok to do it this
way...
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Thanks!
This change should be in ORG-NEWS.

Please document what the function does as the first line and document
the arguments. See D.6 Tips for Documentation Strings in Elisp manual.
The fact that this function is default for something is secondary for
the docstring. If you mention this fact, please also link back to the
defcustom.

This will err when the source block is before the first headline in the
document.

Nice idea, I agree. I was targeting LaTeX specifically because of the
questions that have been raised in this thread and other parallel threads.
And because LaTeX is an extremely complex beast. And it has become much
more complex over the years[1]. No two LaTeX documents are alike just as no
two LaTeX users are alike. Just take a look at tex.stackexchange.com to
realize that reality...
(ConTeXt can be a good alternative for those who don't want to mess with
the complexity of LaTeX. In ConTeXt you don't need to load a package for
everything ---modules at most, but that's another story---, so almost
everything is out-of-the-box there).
[1] And there is also the problem of multiplicity: three TeX engines
coexisting at the same time, LaTeX2ε coexisting with LaTeX 3, etc.

Thanks for the pointer! I did not know it and it seems to me a
tremendously interesting work. I'll keep an eye on it.
In my workflow, I am used to writing the configuration of a LaTeX
document (aka, "the preamble") through .sty files that I build according
to the requirements of each project. That is, I write my own packages.
That's probably why I have a bias of opinion here (I use LaTeX for
typesetting and editorial production, so I need more control), but I
tend to think that a LaTeX preamble is something so ductile that
achieving a certain degree of automation is an arduous task. At least
one automation that covers all possible use cases. That's where I got
the idea of being able to have a library of templates to cover different
types of documents, even the most idiosyncratic ones. Or, at least, that
they can serve as an inspiration to other users.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

LaTeX is just one export backend to worry about. From broader
perspective, we can have a generic template library.
ox.el currently allows export backends to define document template as a
function, which is the most generic way. However, we can come up with
something more customizable - customizable in a consistent way, in
contrast to the current disarray with various export backends
approaching the boilerplate code differently.
TEC is working on something along these lines. See https://tecosaur.github.io/emacs-config/config.html#cleverer-preamble
Note that we also have inner templates that apply to individual exported
elements.

Ihor

I agree that adding more elements to the standard preamble is a complex
matter. LaTeX is already horribly complex and multiple, and it is
difficult to satisfy all kinds of users with a standard code. It
occurred to me that an alternative to modifying Org's code in this
regard could be to have some kind of "LaTeX template library". I think
Pandoc has something similar too, if I remember correctly. Those
templates could be on Org or provided by third parties somewhere else,
like Worg. In Org, we also have a great system for creating LaTeX
documents templates, which is the org-latex-classes list. A large number
of elements could be defined in a 'single' class for any type of
document.
Some time ago I shared here a function I wrote (it's a bit raw and
little tested) to be able to convert a LaTeX document (the preamble)
into a lisp expression to be added to org-latex-classes:
https://list.orgmode.org/87czgly8x8.fsf@posteo.net/
On the one hand Org would offer a more or less basic preamble out of the
box and on the other hand there could be a "org-latex-classes library"
(extensible by users) that would support a multitude of LaTeX document
types or users. This would include preamble types with a bunch of
components: page layout, fonts, lua code, custom LaTeX commands, custom
lua functions, article types, book types, etc. It would suffice to add:
#+latex_class: foo
and the magic is done.

Juan Manuel

Hi Ihor,
Here is the new patch. I have realized that it is not necessary to put a
cond, since in this case it is only necessary to obtain the name of the
language for the metadata, so this new patch is simpler.
Anyway, I think I'm going to prioritize working on a new
org-latex-language-alist that is a plist, to avoid all this stuff about
numbers and lengths...

Juan Manuel

Adding things like paper size is a much more debatable topic.
Considering the number of expected developments in this area, including
the earlier discussion on XeLaTeX/LuaTeX and preamble generation by TEC,
adding the new specific defaults will need to be a subject of extensive
discussion and testing. I do not see much point delaying this patch,
which provides an immediate improvement in the codebase, until we
complete all that.

This alist is rather internal variable representing current defaults. I
am not even sure how it can be useful for third-party packages. It
should not be modified by packages either (defconst).
