1. Codebase stability: fewer bugs, better APIs, long-term stability

5. Strategically important new features

- =org-capture=: \dots is originally forked from remember.el\\
{{{script(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2023-12/msg00412.html)}}}
- =org-protocol=: Processing external input into Emacs\\
from command line, from clicked URLs as URL handler, etc.\\
Unlike running commands directly (which is unsafe), =org-protocol=
can be used for safe interaction with external processes
- =org-persist=: generic cache API
- =org-fold-core=: Generic folding API
- =org-read-date=: Interactive date/time selection
** Upstream generic Org libraries [tentative list] {{{contd}}}
- =org-preview-image= and =org-preview-latex=: Image preview\\
Does not have to be limited to Org mode buffers\\
{{{script(https://youtu.be/u44X_th6_oY?t=199 (credit: Karthik Chikmagalur))}}}\\
{{{script(https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87edbhljr7.fsf@hyperspace/)}}}
- =org-diary-lib=: Org extensions for diary-lib.el
- =org-clock-notify=: System notifications
- =org-idle=: Advanced idle time tracking\\
not just for Emacs idleness, but for system idle time as well
- =org-duration=: Manipulate durations like 1d 3h 5min
** Upstream generic Org libraries [tentative list] {{{contd}}}
- =org-agenda-undo=: undoing changes in multiple buffers at once\\
This is the way undo works in agenda buffers, undoing changes in
multiple headlines changed from agenda, even when they live in
different Org files.
- =org-time=: Extra functions to work with Emacs time data\\
- =org-timer=: (almost) generic timer for Emacs
- =org-track-markers=: Keeping relative positions of markers
when cutting/pasting text in buffers\\
This is the way agenda does not get broken by
cutting/pasting/refiling the underlying headings around.
** Upstream generic Org libraries [tentative list] {{{contd}}}
- =org-macs=: many small helper functions
- (maybe) =ox=, =org-element-ast=: Org exporter can be generalized\\
The core idea of Org export does not rely upon the details of Org
syntax. It might use arbitrary parse trees (say, from tree-sitter)
as input\\
{{{tiny(https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/87frngx4fx.fsf@localhost/)}}}
- (maybe) =ol=: Org links can already be used outside Org mode\\
Can we do better?

Org spreadsheets are not inherently tied to Org markup and might be
used more generally

{{{tiny(https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87jzsintv0.fsf@gmail.com/)}}}
To be added:
- =transient.el=: better replacement for Org menus (export, agenda, tempo, etc.)\\
Org has an old, ad-hoc, limited, self-written menu system. And it
has nothing to do with Org itself.\\
Initial WIP: Tor-björn Claesson\\
{{{tiny(https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/8734m28l9a.fsf@gmail.com/)}}}
** Use modern Emacs APIs and libraries {{{contd}}}
To be added {{{contd}}}:
- =compat.el=: Backwards compatibility library for Emacs\\
Org has self-written =org-compat.el=. =compat.el= is strictly
better when we need compatibility wrappers for older Emacs versions.\\
{{{tiny(https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87v8ks6rhf.fsf@localhost/)}}}
- =track-changes.el=: New library to track edits in buffer\\
Now, Org uses a self-written implementation
Wish list:
- =context-menu-mode=: Context menu support\\
This is a relatively new addition to Emacs. Should be supported by
all the major modes.
- =touch-screen=: Touch screen support\\
This is very important feature for Android.
- =thingatpt=: Generic parser/syntax queries
** Improve Org parser APIs
Org uses two approaches to parsing simultaneously:
1. Proper parser (=org-element=)
2. Ad-hoc approximate regexp-based parser
#+beamer: \vfill
We need to modify the parser to support all the internal use cases:
1. Generalize Org AST to be used in =ox.el= and =org-element.el= consistently\\
{{{script(done in =org-element-ast.el=)}}}
2. The parser should work in real time (fast)\\
- =org-element-cache= is enabled by default since Org 9.6
- =org-element-cache= is yet to support caching objects\\

** Improve Org babel APIs
- Org babel backends currently use ad-hoc, sometimes undocumented API
- Backends have to use specific function names
- Header arg conventions are often undocumented
- Some APIs are not always reliable (async evaluation)
- Babel backend documentation lives on WORG (Org wiki)\\
{{{tiny(https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/index.html)}}}
- =ob-core= should use more =ox.el=-like backend definition style
- WORG documentation must eventually move to the manual
- Async API should be generalized and fixed\\

Imagine you are the main programmer on the team, and you are hiring a
colleague. You have a bunch of resumes on your desk. Most of them
contain puffy words and perhaps basic portfolios, half-finished simple
programs that nobody uses, if anything. The last resume, unlike the
others, shows contributions to well-established, real-world production
code-bases. What is more, you can readily check both the patches and
the discussions, in one click, to see how the person talks, to machines
and to people. Which CV would you, as the expert, prefer?
People are struggling to differentiate their offering, and this is how
they can do it. The fact it is not seen much in the wild is a plus!
And it is understandable why, as it is not easy to contribute to, say, a
complex C++ code base. Emacs is unique in this regard, and Org inherits
the advantage.

Donations (both the group setup, and what people donate to me
individually) have increased my motivation to work on Org, even as my
time is split in more directions. It's a clear signal that the hours
that are put in are valued, and ultimately that makes me feel more
upbeat about the work, particularly when it's in the "bug squashing
slog" phase as the LaTeX preview revamp is.
Aside from the direct impact, there are a bunch of indirect/secondary
but positive aspects to it too: it also makes me feel that the
community really values the work put into open-source projects like
this.

Hi,
Although I still have a significant lack of time to actively collaborate
on the list, I share here this news that Joseph Wright, member of the
LaTeX project, collects on his website. I think this may be of interest
for org-mode support for LaTeX. I make a small summary (copy the first
and last paragraph) and put the link below:
> The latest release of LaTeX went to CTAN on Friday, and moves us forward in
> truly automatic tagging for PDFs, particularly for mathematics. As part of the
> work, we have been looking at the capabilities of different engines. Here, I
> want to summarise what users should take from that for existing and for new
> documents.
> [...]
> The time to move to LuaTeX for new LaTeX documents is here. For existing pdfTeX
> sources, tagging will be available, although it may be more limited than for
> LuaTeX. pdfTeX users can keep their existing sources and will see tagging
> available. XeTeX users really do need to re-work their sources for
> LuaTeX.

[ This time, I will try to use Org mailing list tracker and its
functionality for "blog posts". Let's see if I can make this post into
RSS feeds that are automatically posted in #org-mode Matrix room. ]
Back to the meeting notes.
- As usual, we started from Sacha's News
https://sachachua.com/blog/2024/10/2024-10-07-emacs-news/
- For a bit of a twist, before the official start of the stream, I did
a bit of a screencast working on an Org mode bug report
- https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/878qvbstna.fsf@gmail.com/
- The bug is about Texinfo export of variable definition:
: - Variable: my-name ::
- When variable "my-name" is exactly =nil=, Org mode errs
- The problem lies in the implementation detail of ox-texinfo and
in Org handling of attribute values
- ~org-texinfo--split-definition~ replaces "variable"
description lists with special blocks
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(apply #'org-element-create 'special-block
(list :type cmd
:attr_texinfo (list (format ":options %s" args))
:post-blank (if contents 1 0))
(mapc #'org-element-extract contents))
#+end_src
- later, ~org-texinfo-special-block~ uses
~org-export-read-attribute~ to parse the =:options variable-name=
- The problem is that ~org-export-read-attribute~ treats ~nil~
specially, making =nil= value indistinguishable from the
absence of attribute
- It is not fully clear how to address the problem. There are multiple options
1. ~org-texinfo--split-definition~ to not use ~:attr_texinfo~
and instead store the value directly + add special handling
in ~org-texinfo-special-block~. This will avoid invoking
~org-export-read-attribute~ altogether
2. Or I may try to address the limitation of
~org-export-read-attribute~, so that it becomes possible to
specify =nil= as a value of export attribute.
- This seems better overall (in a more global scope outside
of the bug report), but it is not clear what can be done
(removing special handling of nil will likely cause
regression and is thus not an option)
- [2024-10-26 Sat] I went with option (1)
- Chinmay saw the 33 stashes lying around in my local Org git repository
- Those are not all actual work though
- My workflow often involves jumping between different Org branches
and carrying over WIP changes. For example, I sometimes start to
write code on main, but then realize that it is more suitable for
bugfix (or vice versa)
- To carry the code around I often just use stashes:
1. stash current changes
2. switch branch
3. unstash
- I also tend to work on a number of small fixes in parallel,
sometimes leaving the changes to "cook" for a few days to avoid
overlooking obvious flaws (another day - another fresh look on my code)
- If I do see a flaw, I do not immediately delete a stash, but may
start changes afresh, so the stash is kept around in case if I
change my mind about the approach to handle one or another fix
- So, many stashes in my git repo are not really meaningful. I clean
them up from time to time
- While I was doing the bug fixing screencast, someone asked (by
voice, so I do not recall who it was) a bit of
an off-topic question - how I configure parenthesis to be
highlighted in different colors depending on the relative depth wrt
point
- I use =highlight-parentheses= package
- See https://github.com/yantar92/emacs-config/blob/master/config.org#highlight-parentheses-in-code
- visuwesh asked karhink (co-author of the new latex preview branch)
about the new proposal to generalize the previews to work outside
Org mode - in any arbitrary major mode buffer
- https://list.orgmode.org/87edbhljr7.fsf@hyperspace
- Recently, Karthik shared a new prototype on the list
https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87a5fffmuc.fsf@gmail.com/
- Here is a video demo from the recent email
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u44X_th6_oY (watch from 9 minute mark)
- I did some initial feedback during and after the video and later
followed up with an actual reply on the list
https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87o73rkgja.fsf@localhost/
- Also, maybe it would be a nice talk for EmacsConf :)
- Chinmay asked about Emacs APAC meetup (suitable for Asia-Pacific/Europe time zones)
- It is monthly, every forth Saturday, 1400 IST
- See https://emacs-apac.gitlab.io/
- karthink asked about the performance of org-persist writing caches
to disk and how to debug it
- It can take time when there is a large number of caches
- For example, with my 20-30+Mbs of Org files loaded into Emacs,
it does take a few seconds to quit Emacs (not that I frequently
do it)
- One can use a profiler to check how long it takes for org-persist
to write things
- But you need a trick to prevent Emacs from actually exiting and
not showing the profiler data: make ~kill-emacs-hook~ throw an
error at the very end
: (add-hook 'kill-emacs-hook #'error 100)
- Then, M-x profiler-report after attempting to quit will work
- Later, the hook can be removed
: (remove-hook 'kill-emacs-hook #'error)
- In case of karthink, the possible problem is a sheer number of cache
entries as he is actively using latex previews that heavily make
use of the cache
- However, we need the actual profiler data to (1) confirm that
the problem is there; (2) figure out which part of org-persist
is slowing things down
- Chinmay asked about link previews in Org mode (similar to what many
instant messengers do)
- visuwesh suggested that creates previews for youtube links:
https://github.com/TobiasZawada/org-yt
- Of course, it is only specific to youtube links (special yt: link type)
- kathink's patch that adds an API to create arbitrary link previews
is a step towards having web (and other, like, say, pdf) link
previews
https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/875xrqg6cb.fsf@gmail.com/
- The patch introduces :preview link parameter that will be used
by ~org-toggle-inline-images~
- The patch itself does not produce web link previews, but such
previews can be implemented using the proposed API
- There is even a demo previewing youtube links from unpublished
kathink's code
https://share.karthinks.com/org-link-preview-demo-2.mp4
- We then went on discussing how to generalize the previews to be
not tied to a specific website
- Chinmay suggested https://oembed.com/ API. It might be used to
retrieve previews from arbitrary websites
- I was not so optimistic about the idea because of my
experience using OpenGraph protocol to retrieve website
metadata in my Org capture scrambler package:
https://github.com/yantar92/org-capture-ref
- Even though there are standards to provide
website metadata (previews, authors, titles, dates, etc), they
are simply not followed equally by different websites
- ... and you are lucky if the protocol is simply not
supported. Sometimes, it is kind of supported, but the
returned data is a complete garbage
- So, to have some kind of generic previewer, there might be no
universal solution. We might have to go the route I took in
org-capture-ref: (1) push our luck with "standard" protocol;
(2) fall back to website-specific scramblers otherwise.
- It is actually doable, except some especially bad websites
that do not even provide metadata without running JS
- As long as we can download HTML to Emacs, it can be parsed
using built-in libxml parser and searched for website-specific
info
- John Wiegley shared his feature idea
- He wants to have a way to define multiple variants of the same
paragraph/block/heading/etc
#+begin_quote
The idea I was proposing earlier, org-layers, would give you
markup for specifying multiple versions of a region of text, and
both Org-mode and the HTML export would give you a simple
interface for changing the view both locally and globally.
#+end_quote
- The inspiration is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Xanadu#History
- [2024-10-20 Sun] I did not look into that link during the
meetup, but now I am a bit confused. According to the wiki, the
major idea is transclusion, and some people (who probably looked
into the same wiki page), immediately mentioned
https://github.com/nobiot/org-transclusion and
https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/lentic.html
- daniel german shared his extension to org-transclusion:
including parts of code in other files (not Org) into Org
document:
https://github.com/dmgerman/org-transclude-fn
- The idea is slightly different from org-babel in a way that
babel is mostly from Org source to code, while
org-transclude-fn is opposite
- [2024-10-20 Sun] On the other hand, we have
~org-babel-detangle~ that can ingest code back into Org
files
- As deniel later replied, another difference is that
org-transclude-fn does not include actual text into Org
document. It is just to be displayed and read; not edited.
- org-transclusion, in contrast, allows editing the
"transcluded" text, so that edits are reflected in the
original buffer
- Then, we went further into the old discussion about Emacs
allowing to combine parts of multiple buffers, ideally with
per-region major modes
- One of the past discussions of the idea on emacs-devel:
https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/87h8kou1c0.fsf@telefonica.net/
- And the most recent one (now active):
https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/86ttdau8hj.fsf@gmx.net/T/#t
- ... similar discussions keep popping up on emacs-devel from
time to time (maybe every 1-2 years or so, AFAIR)
- Another analogy that immediately stroke my mind is the problem of
translations (of manuals or normal user documents)
- Past discussion on emacs-devel: https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/835y0b29rk.fsf@gnu.org/
- When creating a translation of slowly changing document like
manual, we cannot simply translate it all at once
- Parts of the document may be changed over time, often by
people who are not capable to keep all the available
translations up to date
- So, some system is necessary that keeps track of which parts
of the translated document are obsolete and which parts are
still up-to-date
- The classical solution for this task is https://po4a.org/index.php.en
- ... and it has no Emacs major mode
- So, I have been long playing around with the idea that Org mode
may be up to the task of maintaining the translations (of
manuals or just normal multi-lingual documents/books; inspired by
Juan Manuel Macías sharing a bilingual book written in Org mode:
https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87h70tyyiz.fsf@posteo.net/)
- What if we make use of affiliated keywords to mark some
paragraphs/drawers/blocks/headings as "translation"
- Such mark will also contain a link and hash of the "original"
paragraph/.../heading
- Then, depending on the #+LANGUAGE: keyword, we may choose to
export different variants of the text
- If the original source texts change, but the translations do
not, it should then be easily tracked, and we can provide
various ways to handle this, like: throw an error; mark the
exported obsolete translation somehow; put the original
instead of the translation; both; etc.
- We can go even further, and link the "translation" to, for
example, Elisp function docstring (or even body). Then, if the
docstring changes, we can automatically flag the related
portion of the manual obsolete. Think about all the extended
explanations about various Org mode commands - it is often
hard to remember keeping them in sync with changes in the
function code.
- karthink asked about an update on my big Org codebase refactoring
project
- There no progress since I started my new job in September (so I
have less time for Org mode now)
- I also need to sort out my copyright paperwork with the new
employer, which is taking some time. I am being cautious about
patches (especially non-trivial) until things are settled
- We had a moment of awkward silence and I decided to look into some
recent feature requests
- https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87frq13w48.fsf@localhost/
proposes to extend Org timers (M-x org-timer; [[info:org#Timers]])
- The idea is to allow chaining multiple timers one after another,
akin what people do with work/rest cycles in Pomodoro
- If anyone is interested in such features, please chime in on the
mailing list. Unless there are replies, I will have to refute
the proposal. (Mostly because it might be non-trivial code-wise
and I do not want to complicate code without popular demand for
this new feature.)
- Chinmay raised a topic of using transient in more places (including
Org mode)
- My stance of transient is that we should eventually switch all the
Org menus to use it.
- We generally want to rely more on the existing Emacs features and
get rid of Org mode parts that are re-implementing the existing
functionality (or predate the time when relevant generic
functionality, like transient, have been added to Emacs)
- Similarly, we want to move parts of Org mode that are generic
enough into Emacs itself
- Several users raised concerns about using transient though
- Mostly along the lines that is still has problems like not
supporting what Emacs users are used to
- For example, ~C-h k~ does not work inside transients
- Transient menus are also hard to create dynamically: a critical
feature required for many Org mode menus
- visuwesh also linked to not-yet-closed bug report for transient
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=52058
- I myself faced a few (unreproducible) situations when transient
left my Emacs in unusable shape with key bindings completely
broken
- Having said the above, transient is still going to be an
improvement as Org menus are even worse in terms of supporting
~C-h k~ or even simply switching to the menu buffer (which, in
contrast, transient allows). After we solve the dynamic menu
building that is. [2024-10-25 Fri] But there is a hope:
https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/8734m28l9a.fsf@gmail.com/
- As karthink pointed, a better documentation (user: and
discoverability!) would greatly benefit developing more
transient uses
- There is a good attempt to improve the docs in
https://github.com/psionic-k/transient-showcase; would be nice
if it were incorporated into upstream manual
- Also, karthink suggested that "The transient manual made sense
only after I read the EIEIO manual"
- Every instance of transient menu item is an instance of
EIEIO class
- Right after we discussed problems with transient, kickingvegas, a
big transient fan, joined
- Although, this time he did not talk about transient :)
- He presented his recent blog post on a small helper for writing Org table formulas
http://yummymelon.com/devnull/referencing-org-table-cells-with-text-regions.html
- The problem post is trying to solve is inputting cell references into the formulas
- Currently, one has to write the references manually, like =@13$7=
- This sometimes involves annoying counting of rows/columns
- Org does allow named rows/columns, which simplifies things,
but naming rows and columns require dedicated effort, which is
only worth it for really large and complex formulas
https://orgmode.org/manual/Advanced-features.html
- =C-c '= (~M-x org-table-edit-formulas~) helps somewhat by
highlighting the referenced table cell and by providing
=S-arrow= keys to modify reference at point interactively: move
reference up/down/left/right; but entering the reference
_initially_ still remains awkward
- kickingvegas used context menu approach to solve the problem
- He introduced a new context menu item, which copies cell
reference at point into the kill ring
- I suggested integrating the idea of getting cell reference via
mouse with ~org-table-edit-formulas~
- When inside edit buffer, mouse may automatically insert
cell/cell range reference at mouse into the formula editor
- More details in the followup discussion on the mailing list
https://list.orgmode.org/95CE1447-FC08-431A-9CA1-83B4C3F77BA7@gmail.com/T/#t
- visuwesh raised the topic for recent Org mode's support for M-x yank-media
- Our support revived interest in better implementations of M-x
yank-media on all the Emacs platforms
- Emacs does not support M-x yank-media on Windows well
- https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=71909 discusses how
to implement it considering Windows quirks (Windows clipboard is
not directly compatible with the notion of mime type used in
yank-media support for GNU/Linux)

[17:38] Ihor Radchenko : Hi
[17:38] Chinmay : Hi!
[17:38] Ihor Radchenko : We are starting in 20 minutes
[17:38] Chinmay : ye no problem
[17:39] Ihor Radchenko : Meanwhile, the latest Emacs News: https://sachachua.com/blog/2024/10/2024-10-07-emacs-news/
[17:41] Chinmay : omg so many stashes - i need to start naming my stashes to use them more
[17:49] Ihor Radchenko : highlight-parentheses
[17:59] visuwesh : actually, can you have a variable named nil?
[18:00] visuwesh : ahhhh i see
[18:01] visuwesh : i see, i thought the report was about actually setting a variable named nil
[18:02] visuwesh : ahhh okay
[18:04] visuwesh : a question for karthik: did the thread in emacs-orgmode about adapting the new latex-preview code for auctex ever work out? https://bbb.emacsverse.org/b/iho-h7r-qg8-led or will it have to be changed compeltely now with the new wip emacs-wide intergration?
[18:04] visuwesh : https://list.orgmode.org/87edbhljr7.fsf@hyperspace
[18:05] visuwesh : got the link wrong, sry
[18:05] visuwesh : yep
[18:06] visuwesh : yes
[18:06] Dave Marquardt : yes
[18:06] karthink : The demo of latex is at around the 9 minute mmrk
[18:07] karthink : *demo of latex-mode
[18:07] Dave Marquardt : hehe
[18:08] karthink : @visuwesh the demo is based on prototype code that's not very robust
[18:09] visuwesh : hmm, okay. i was modelling latex preview for my goldbook interface after that thread but it just never worked and i never could work out why
[18:09] visuwesh : i wanted to ask you via mail but i left it for later TM and you released this video :)
[18:09] karthink : The changes required in org-latex-preview are not yet in the dev branch
[18:10] visuwesh : was it ever expected to work before these changes though?
[18:10] karthink : Yes, the code provided by Tony Zorman should work with the dev branch as is
[18:10] visuwesh : i used org-latex-preview-place with (BEG END VALUE) passed to it
[18:10] visuwesh : hmm i see
[18:12] karthink : No I just made it to demo the possibility of latex previews across Emacs
[18:13] Corwin Brust : gm :)
[18:13] karthink : Yeah it could be played at Emacsconf, I guess. In any case, I need feedback on the API for plugging it into other major modes
[18:16] karthink : It will still `(require 'ox)` for the preamble, but yeah, independent of Org-mode would be great.
[18:17] karthink : The other issue is that I want to avoid runtime dispatch on the major-mode, because we run code in after-change-functions that needs to be very fast
[18:17] Ihor Radchenko : 1. use thingatpt for boundaries
[18:17] Ihor Radchenko : 2. use custom variable/function for preamble
[18:18] karthink : I mean code like (funcall (plist-get major-mode ...))
[18:18] karthink : Yeah, the current prototype is using buffer-local variables
[18:19] karthink : Noted your point about providing defaults.
Okay, we can discuss this further in the thread? I think it's not relevant to most people in the meetup
[18:20] karthink : No worries, please take your time
[18:24] Chinmay : is the emacs apac meetup every saturday?
[18:25] visuwesh : I believe it is monthly?
[18:25] Chinmay : ah
[18:25] visuwesh : happens around 2 pm or 2:30 pm IST iirc
[18:25] Chinmay : ye
[18:25] Chinmay : 2
[18:26] karthink : @Ihor that reminds me -- is it expected for Emacs to take 4-5 seconds to exit because of org-persist in kill-emacs-hook?
[18:27] karthink : It happens every time to me, I think it's because of the large volume of latex previews that are cached
[18:28] karthink : How do you profile kill-emacs-hook?
[18:28] visuwesh : Can you not simplyprofile org-persist-write-all?
[18:30] Ihor Radchenko : (add-hook 'kill-emacs-hook #'error 100)
[18:30] Ihor Radchenko : This way, can profile killing emacs
[18:30] karthink : @Ihor, yeah, my experience is similar to yours just now
[18:31] Ihor Radchenko : error will prevent actual killing
[18:32] karthink : Okay, I'll find out what's happening
[18:33] karthink : Yeah, I'm reminded of the problem only when I quit Emacs, which isn't very often
[18:39] Chinmay : has someone tried to add link previews to org mode?
[18:39] Chinmay : this thing https://imgur.com/ZqPjZtE
[18:43] visuwesh : https://github.com/TobiasZawada/org-yt this thing maybe?
[18:44] Chinmay : i'll check this out, thanks
[18:44] visuwesh : but is there a general solution for this problem? im sort of interested in this too
[18:45] Chinmay : iinw there's some sort of standard for this too?
[18:45] visuwesh : only thing i can remember is a PR for ement.el to add link previews but i think that simply queries the matrix homeserver
[18:45] Chinmay : like on the web
[18:45] Chinmay : not emacs
[18:45] visuwesh : i see
[18:46] visuwesh : yes
[18:46] daniel german : There is a package called (require 'org-yt) that allows to have previews of an youtube snapshot.
[18:46] visuwesh : we can't see your screen though
[18:46] karthink : @visuwesh what do you mean by a general solution?
[18:47] Chinmay : general links, not just yt i believe
[18:47] visuwesh : i presume the package works by querying youtube for the thumbnail. i was thinking if there was a gen solution because matrix, discord, etc. show a nice preview of links regardless of the website
[18:48] daniel german : yes, thi s is only for youtube. it creates a special type of link and caches it
[18:48] daniel german : yt:video-url
[18:48] Chinmay : i see
[18:49] karthink : @Ihor there's the org-link-preview patch
[18:49] Ihor Radchenko : https://github.com/TobiasZawada/org-yt
[18:50] Chinmay : this is the standard https://oembed.com/
[18:50] karthink : https://list.orgmode.org/875xrqg6cb.fsf@gmail.com
[18:50] karthink : It's the :preview link parameter
[18:51] John Wiegley : Good morning (from California timezone)
[18:51] karthink : I think org-yt is advising org-display-inline-images (or whatever it's called)
[18:53] karthink : https://share.karthinks.com/org-link-preview-demo-2.mp4
[18:54] karthink : It's just an image placed over the link with C-c C-x C-v
[18:55] Chinmay : ye
[18:56] karthink : It looks like oembed can also be used for inline link previews in Org mode
[18:57] Chinmay : yes
[18:57] Chinmay : lmao
[18:58] Chinmay : i think twitter does its own thing
[18:59] Chinmay : og:image has a png link
[19:01] Chinmay : no idea
[19:02] Chinmay : nice nice
[19:03] visuwesh : Emacs can use libxml for parsing html and xml
[19:03] Chinmay : very cool
[19:03] visuwesh : there's an elisp library for parsing xml too iirc
[19:05] John Wiegley : I just had a feature idea I wanted to brainstorm
[19:06] John Wiegley : Project Xanadu
[19:06] Chinmay : ihor your voice is echoing
[19:06] daniel german : Ted Nelsons' hypertex
[19:06] daniel german : t
[19:07] daniel german : It might be an interesting additjion to org-transclude:
[19:07] daniel german : to have a parameter that indicates isi only the title or the content of the transclusion are transcluded
[19:08] John Wiegley : I hadn't thought of tying it in with transclusion, but I love that idea!
[19:08] John Wiegley : Both!
[19:08] John Wiegley : Translation of multiple languages, and transclusion of title/content/etc
[19:08] karthink : What is org translation?
[19:09] John Wiegley : Yes, my microphone on these websites often produces echo, my apologies.
[19:09] daniel german : org-transclude not org translation
[19:09] John Wiegley : https://github.com/nobiot/org-transclusion
[19:10] John Wiegley : I use Org transclusion so that I can give my employees feedback in a meeting file, and then transclude that feedback into their personnel file for the yearly review.
[19:10] daniel german : I am adding transclusion of a function, still in beta, and it will be moved to Nobiot's repo as an module: https://github.com/dmgerman/org-transclude-fn
[19:11] John Wiegley : Saves me from having to either centralize the feedback in a single file, or having to chase links to read them all in one go.
[19:12] visuwesh : hmm how does this different from org-babel?
[19:12] Ihor Radchenko : https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/lentic.html
[19:13] daniel german : I'll respond:
[19:13] daniel german : it executes a function, and dynamically inserts the result, but the result is not part of the actual buffer and it is read only.
[19:13] karthink : It would be great if Emacs provided C-level support for including a part of one buffer in another. Would solve various issues, including Org babel fontification, LSP support, "native" transclusion etc
[19:14] John Wiegley : @daniel It sounds like you could build a webserver on that idea
[19:14] daniel german : :) once you can execute a function, the sky is the limit :)
[19:15] visuwesh : if it is never going to clog up the result, that would be nice yes
[19:15] visuwesh : it can be a bit inconvenient to switch to *Async Shell Command Output* or the sync ersion of that
[19:16] John Wiegley : The idea I was proposing earlier, org-layers, would give you markup for specifying multiple versions of a region of text, and both Org-mode and the HTML export would give you a simple interface for changing the view both locally and globally.
[19:17] Ihor Radchenko : https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/87h8kou1c0.fsf@telefonica.net/
Discussion about having text from multiple buffers in one buffer
[19:17] daniel german : One nice thing of org-transclude is that you can edit the source text in the transcluding buffer. I highly recommend it.
[19:18] karthink : @John Would all versions be written to the file?
[19:18] John Wiegley : AYes
[19:19] John Wiegley : #+begin_layered
Version one (full text)
,#+next_layered
Version two (summary)
,#+next layered
Version three (translation?)
,#+end_layered
[19:21] John Wiegley : That hashing idea is really nice, Ihor, I could see this being applicable to code comments in a source file too...
[19:21] John Wiegley : Like, the PR would not pass CI unless the comment had been updated with the new hash, which requires revision of that text.
[19:25] karthink : @Ihor any update on your big Org refactoring effort?

[19:29] Ihor Radchenko : feature request: Chaining multiple org timers
[19:30] Chinmay : i love the transientification of everything
[19:30] John Wiegley : transient does seem like a great UI modality for many things
[19:31] user : I wish transient played more nicely with "C-h k" etc. I don't know if things have improved in that regard, but I recall going from transient menu-item to function behind it was not easily discoverable
[19:31] karthink : It's hard to modify a transient menu though
[19:32] karthink : Compared to keymaps
[19:32] user : Fair, it may be better than Org menus
[19:32] visuwesh : I really hope the issues raised in https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=52058 will be resolved
[19:32] kickingvegas : hi folks - sorry to jump in late

[19:38] user : s/documentation/discoverability/
[19:38] visuwesh : and in-transient text that tries to help the user when trying a transient for the first time
[19:38] visuwesh : documentation too, honestly
[19:39] Ihor Radchenko : https://github.com/psionic-k/transient-showcase
some extra docs
[19:39] Chinmay : gtg, bye!
[19:39] visuwesh : i find the documentation very opaque as a user
[19:39] user : You don't get the same thing
[19:40] karthink : The transient manual made sense only after I read the EIEIO manual
[19:40] visuwesh : oh i didn't realise that repo contained user documentation. i thought it was only s bunch of examples so never bothered to open it
[19:42] Jeff Trull : Karthink that's interesting what is the connection between an OO library and a menu library
[19:43] karthink : I think the prefix and suffix distinction made sense when transient was a smaller library -- since a transient-prefix is a generalization of a prefix argument to an interactive elisp command
[19:43] karthink : @Jeff every transient menu item is an instance of an EIEIO class
[19:44] Jeff Trull : Ahhh
[19:44] John Wiegley : Where was it posted?
[19:45] user : Every now and again I wish there was a primer for EIEIO and cl-defstruct. Mostly because I don't use them often enough to ever remember their conventions
[19:45] kickingvegas : http://yummymelon.com/devnull/referencing-org-table-cells-with-text-regions.html
[19:45] user : primer as in cheatsheet as opposed to manual
[19:45] John Wiegley : Thank you! And nice to hear you as well.
[19:45] karthink : @Jeff This also means if you want a menu item with bespoke behavior you have to define a new EIEIO class that implements it, just for one item
[19:48] Ihor Radchenko : 3.5.10 Advanced features describes how to create named rows/columns
[19:50] karthink : Not seeing KickingVegas' screen yet
[19:51] Dave Marquardt : Unless your screen is the "Welcome to BigBlueButton" page
[19:53] karthink : @Ihor, what was the command you invoked to edit the tblfm interactively?
[19:53] karthink : C-c '
[19:53] karthink : Got it, did you call it with the cursor in the #+TBLFM line?
[19:53] Ihor Radchenko : M-x org-table-edit-formulas
[19:54] karthink : Cool thank you
[19:55] Dave Marquardt : yes, I see Ihor's screen
[20:00] Ihor Radchenko : 42.9.2 Overlay Properties
[20:00] Ihor Radchenko : when in org-table-edit-formulas mode, you can create overlay over the table and add 'keymap property to that overlay

[20:02] Ihor Radchenko : 22.7.5 Drag Events
[20:02] Ihor Radchenko : 22.7 Input Events
[20:03] John Wiegley : I agree, there's inertia for me too in naming cells properly
[20:04] visuwesh : yank-media will be properly supported in Windows soon enough: https://yhetil.org/emacs-bugs/bafcfc5c-e9d5-402c-a6de-321d49229386@imayhem.com/ it would be nice to provide feedback on what file types will be useful for handlers (currently images, text/html, filenames, audio and video are mentioned)
[20:05] visuwesh : it is about yank-media
[20:05] visuwesh : yea that was another bug report, with a proepr subject line
[20:05] visuwesh : yeah but they are trying to gather user feedback on useful clipbaord items right now
[20:06] visuwesh : https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=71909
[20:07] visuwesh : what clipboard items would be useful for future yank-media usage
[20:09] Ihor Radchenko : bug#71909: 30.0.60; Can not use yank-media for pasting image from clipboad in org-mode on Windows platform
[20:09] Ihor Radchenko : actual thread title
[20:09] visuwesh : https://yhetil.org/emacs-bugs/tencent_7FA4E415A96083033C6BED7C7354AEE02505@qq.com/
[20:11] visuwesh : i think in windows yo uhave to translate the clipboard data so that it matches the mimetype string that is followed in linux
[20:11] visuwesh : so they will probably end up having a specific bunch of supported types so it would be nice to alert the devs on what clipboard items would be useful
[20:12] visuwesh : yea, it is the same on mac too. i think they have a very limited num of supported clipboard items if im not wrong
[20:12] visuwesh : (at least on the ns port)
[20:12] visuwesh : yea, the pushed needed to be given c:

Hello,
I seem to remember that the problem you describe goes back to how Org
understood the footnote text. When exporting to LaTeX, each line of a
footnote was understood as if it were a verse, and Org added \\ at the
end. Hence the use of \footnotemark and the
‘org-latex--delayed-footnotes-definitions’ function.
I agree that using \footnotemark can cause problems, especially on long
runs of verses. I think the solution here would be to use a function
similar to org-latex--delayed-footnotes-definitions, which would
preserve the content of the notes in a list, and format them as a
\footnote at the end, when the block has already been built in Latex.
The case of tables is different. In the longtable environment you can
use footnote without problems, except in the row-header. In other
environments it usually gives unexpected results, especially when tables
are used as float. In a float table, however, I would not use normal
footnotes via \footnotemark but the solution from the threeparttable package.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

This is an important feature that should be added sooner or later to
address numerous edge cases in the Org markup.
On my side, it is not on the very top of the priorities, so I am happy
that Juan is working on it. If anyone else wants to help, it will be
very welcome as well.

Hi, Ihor,
Thanks for your reminder. I'm sorry for all this long time that I've
been inactive and unresponsive, but the last few months I have had a lot
of work, in addition to other personal circumstances that have kept me
busy. I haven't had time to follow the list or deal with the branch. I
had planned to respond to your comments now in the summer (and I will
probably do so in the next few days), but I am afraid that until
September I will not be able to participate actively or continuously on
the list.
Of course, if someone wants to actively collaborate in the development
of this branch, I have no problem. If necessary, I also have no
objection to moving the repository to another more ‘open’ place (in Gitlab
it is necessary to have an account to collaborate).
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

A gentle ping. This patch is still hanging in the air.

Ok. Although I will try to answer all your comments in detail [if it's
okay, I can start a new thread called "inline-special-block: general
discussion"] I can anticipate that I would be in favor of removing
global attributes (:smallcaps, :lang, :color). At first I didn't think
it was a bad idea to have certain «pre-cooked» attributes. But later I
realized that the implementation of each backend where it makes sense to
apply these attributes is unnecessarily complicated. Furthermore, the
very flexibility of the new object allows the same goal to be achieved.
Well, next week I will continue commenting. I will try to stay up to
date with everything that is being discussed here. By the way, if
someone wants to collaborate on the branch, I can add them as a
contributor (I'm afraid it is necessary to have a GitLab account, if
I'm not mistaken).

Hi, Ihor. Thanks for all your comments. I will try to answer each of the
questions you have raised. Let's see if I can find a space next week...
The latest added to the branch are Maxim's proposals (and code) for
backend control. See this thread:
https://list.orgmode.org/?t=20240321102752
And this other thread, continuation of the previous one:

I have finally finished my review of the previous related discussions.
See my comments and proposals below.
[ Aside: It looks like your public branch is not up-to-date as the time
of writing this email - I do not see commits changing the syntax to
@foo{...} and @@{...} yet, as discussed in
https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87sf121e9t.fsf@localhost/)
I have edited your original message in the quotes to reflect upon the
newly agreed syntax. ]
---------------------
> The basic syntax:
> @foo{lorem ipsum dolor}
> There is also an anonymous variant:
> @@{lorem ipsum dolor}
> Optional attributes in square brackets are supported
> @foo[:key1 value1 :key2 value2 ...]{lorem ipsum dolor}
Let me list the main goals of the new inline markup within the scope of
overall Org markup and discuss whether the proposed syntax can work to
achieve them.
1. Introduce user-configurable ad-hoc syntax where exporting and
fontification are fully configurable on Elisp level, per-document
level, and maybe even per-markup level. Something combining
flexibility of links and special blocks, but without their
limitations:
- In contrast to links, we should be able to nest inline markup
without restrictions:
@foo{@bar{text}} ([[foo:a][[[bar:b]]]] is not possible)
***This goal is covered by the branch***
- We should be able to have arbitrary text inside inline markup.
No sequence of symbols should be prohibited:
@foo{ can contain leading and trailing spaces }
@foo{can contain "}" inside, especially inside =verbatim }= text} <-- **ambiguous**
@foo{can even have "}" at the end boundary}} <-- **ambiguous**
This is unlike links that prohibit closing "]".
***For the above examples, the proposed syntax is ambiguous***
- We should be able to define special markup for code, where the
contents is not parsed. Something like
@code{ unlike =code=, we can have leading and trailing spaces }
@code{ @foo{is not interpreted inside}}
***This goal is not addressed by the experimental branch for now***
2. Allow attaching auxiliary attributes to the on object level, as an
equivalent of affiliated keywords on element level
- For example, we should allow assigning height per-link without the
awkward kludge we have with special handling of
#+attr_html: :height 300
[[file:image.png]] has a height of 300, but what if we want a
different height in [[file:another-image.png]]?
We can thus do
#+attr_html: :height 300
[[file:image.png]] has a height of 300, but what if we want a
different height in @@[:html-height 300]{[[file:another-image.png]]}?
Note how @@{...} markup assigns attributes to objects inside - the
attributes should be somehow inherited.
Another example is the proposed @@[:lang "en"]{...} attribute - we
may want to assign it even beyond current paragraph; for example
for the whole subtree (aka mark subtree language to be "English").
***This is not covered by the branch***
- We should also be able to assign attributes that contain Org markup
themselves:
@@[:alt This image shows a _cat_ climbing a /wall/]{<file:cat.png>}
***This is not covered by the branch***
3. The new syntax should allow us to do anything Texinfo markup can do
(as per RMS request https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87bkqx4jyg.fsf@localhost/)
- Multi-argument markup in Texinfo like for abbreviations
@abbr{abbreviation[,meaning]}
Example: @abbr{Comput. J., Computer Journal}
(https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/texinfo.html#g_t_0040abbr)
We can equivalently (if markup inside attributes is supported) do
@abbr[:meaning Computer Journal]{Comput. J.}
or even
@abbr[Computer Journal]{Comput. J.}
In theory, we may need even more than 2 arguments.
***This is partially covered***
4. The new syntax should allow working around ambiguities of the *DWIM*
markup without using the awkward zero-width space kludge
- Intra-word markup
foo@bold{bar}baz
***This is covered already***
- Simultaneous markup
@bold{foo}@italic{bar}
@@{*foo*}@@{/bar/}
***This is covered already***
- Solving the undesired first-fit-wins parser behaviour:
/italics stops [[early/?here]], but not later/
need to *escape stars* like that one*
你好。*我*不会些这个
@italic{italics stops [[early/?here]], but not later}
need to @bold{escape stars* like that one}
你好。@bold{我}不会些这个
***This is covered already***
--------
Proposed modifications to the inline markup syntax
-------
1. @foo{basic form remains the same}
2. @foo{{but we allow arbitrary number of "{{..." to open the markup.
Then, } inside does not end the @foo markup; we only end it at the
matching number of }s; "{" and "}" inside do not have to be balanced.}}
3. @foo[alternative brackets]
In an edge case, when the contents itself is {...}, allow alternative
brackets
@foo[{contents surrounded by curly braces}]
4. We also have a special form of syntax where the contents is not at all
parsed
@code{this is *verbatim* code; it may contain = or even have
whitespace at the boundaries }
This is equivalent to #+begin_example example blocks vs.
#+begin_<arbitrary> special blocks.
@code{{can also contain "}" inside, using multiple bracket
alternative}}
@code[{or be like this}]
5. Change the @foo[:key1 value1 :key2 value2 ...]{lorem ipsum dolor}
syntax:
@foo[can have][multiple][arguments]{the last argument is considered object contents}
Every argument is parsed
@title[This is an image title, with *markup*]{<file:image.png>}
@@[:lang cn :alt Hello]{你好}
@@[:lang cn][:alt Hello]{你好}
The exporters are responsible to interpret the arguments as needed,
if keyword arguments are passed.
We should also not layer additional rules for escaping delimiters
apart from the existing Org mode markup:
@@[:lang cn :alt @@{can have :keyword-like inside, insulated inside =@@{...}=}]{...}
@@[:lang cn][:attr_latex @@{:color blue}]{...}
This is akin affiliated keywords that are never split into
keyword/value pairs by org-element, leaving this job downstream to
specific commands and libraries.
(The difference is that affiliated keywords are mostly not parsed,
but parsing is necessary here to address multi-argument markup syntax
like @abbrev)
-------
Attribute inheritance
-------
As I described in @@[:html-height 300]{[[file:another-image.png]]}
example, we should have some form of attribute inheritance, so that we
are able to assign attributes to arbitrary Org markup, not just to
inline markup objects.
Furthermore, attributes like @@[:lang cn][好工作] may need to be
assigned to the text spanning across multiple paragraphs or even
headings.
I suggest following what we already do for source blocks:
1. org-babel-default-header-args sets global attributes applicable to
everything globally
2. org-babel-default-header-args:<lang> sets global attributes
per-language
3. #+PROPERTY: header-args <attributes> sets global attributes per-file
4. #+PROPERTY: header-args:<lang> <attributes> sets language-specific
attributes
5. :HEADER-ARGS: or :HEADER-ARGS:<lang>: set attributes per-subtree
6. #+HEADERS: <attributes> sets src block attributes
7. Attribute values are merged together:
org-babel-default-header-args = :cache yes :export none
#+HEADERS: :cache no :var x=1
combines into
:export none :cache no :var x=1
I propose the following naming for inline markup:
org-default-inline-attributes
org-default-inline-attributes:<foo>
#+PROPERTY: inline_attr
#+PROPERTY: inline_attr:<foo>
#+INLINE_ATTR: affiliated
#+INLINE_ATTR:<foo>:
In addition, attributes from @@[:alt Text]{<file:image.png>} are applied
to all the markup inside, including normal non-inline markup objects.
Further, we may allow a special attribute :inherit that will allow more
fine-grained control on where to inherit the attributes from:
#+inline_attr:var: :inherit example
@example[:color gray]{(defvar @var{variable-name} nil)}
As an option, I am not yet sure about, we may also allow per-keyword
control like
@bold[:export latex rest*]{and some more @bold[:export+ html]{inside}}
so that :export and :export+ are combined.
(Despite me using :export example here, what I am proposing is not
limited to :export keyword that have been discussed in-depth in
https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87bk7k7tuf.fsf@posteo.net/)
> Optional attributes in square brackets are supported. There are a series
> of 'universal' attributes, common to each backend. At the moment:
> `:lang', `:color' and `:smallcaps'. Example:
-------
On :lang attribute
-------
This attribute is special - language of a text is actually _not_ a
markup. It is more global, and it does not quite fit within the framework
of per-markup type inheritance.
In contrast to something like
@foo[:export latex rest*]{@bar{should be exported everywhere}}
:lang attribute applies to all types of markup inside
@foo{:lang cn}{@bar{公共汽车}}
Moreover, we may want to apply it per-paragraph or per-subtree.
So, we may want to
1. Combine all the nested inline :lang attributes regardless of the
inline markup types nesting
2. Introduce a new affiliated keyword #+LANGUAGE
3. Introduce a new subtree property :LANGUAGE:
4. Re-use #+LANGUAGE: per-document keyword
5. Use the previous 4 rules to :lang attributes as a special case.
Then, export backends should implement :lang attribute support and ox.el
should provide the means to query it, performing all the necessary
inheritance calculations.
-------
Configurable inline markup export
-------
Given that the discussed inline markup is supposed to improve on the
link export flexibility, and also add more ad-hoc export setting
options, I have the following necessary features in mind:
1. We should have an equivalent of :export link parameter
This will be Elisp level interface for inline markup, allowing to
write Org mode syntax extensions (like the one necessary for Texinfo
feature-parity)
***This is not covered by the branch***
2. We should expose per-document ad-hoc markup customization that does
not require Elisp. Something similar to link abbreviations or macros.
However, I do not want the inline markup to turn into another variant
of macros. So, I do like the proposal to define only attributes:
> ┌────
> │ #+options: inline-special-block-aliases:(("latin" :lang "la" :latex-command "textit" :html-tag "em"))
> │
> │ Caesar's famous quote: @latin{Alea iacta est}
> │
> │ Caesar's famous quote: @latin[:smallcaps t :color blue]{Alea iacta est}
> └────
However, I am not a big fan of the way it is implemented - Elisp syntax
with the need to layer all the (...) and "...".
We may instead re-use my attribute inheritance idea:
#+PROPERTY: inline_attr:latin :lang la :latex-command textit :html-tag em
-------
On :color and :smallcaps attributes or user-customized markup
-------
These proposed attributes are nothing but additional markups that will
become a part of Org mode syntax. I see them as nothing different from
@smallcals{...} and @color{blue}{...} inline markups.
I am not in favour of adding such extra markup to Org mode syntax.
Instead, we can make it a part of inline markup extensions, in parallel
with what we need to support Texinfo-specific markup like @var, @defun,
etc.
I also do not see any clear benefit of adding :color and :smallcaps as
_attributes_. Just markup will do. If one needs to combine
smallcaps/color with other markup, it is a job for ad-hoc markup
definitions.
-------
pre/post-latex (aka templates)

I do not like the idea of pre/post-<exporter> attributes.
I think that we discussed this particular idea in the past, when talking
about prepending/appending commands like \newpage to headings during
LaTeX export
(https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87czbna4e4.fsf@localhost/)
There, I proposed to use a more generalized approach, allowing custom
export templates:
* 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:
We can apply the same approach when defining ad-hoc markup, extending it
a little. Rather than using %s, we introduce more placeholders:
- %contents :: like CONTENTS argument in the export transcoders
- %transcoded :: the result of what the export backend returns normally
- %:<number> :: reference to last Nth optional argument. For example
in @abbrev{Computer Science}{CS} %contents == CS and %:1 =
Computer Science
- %:attribute :: the value of attribute
This way,
@@[:prelatex \foo{bar} :color red]{lorem ipsum dolor}
will become
@foo[:latex-template @code[{\color{red}\foo{bar}%contents}]]{lorem ipsum dolor}
-------
On :export attribute
-------
> I'm thinking about adding a new global attribute, `:export', that

> Possible values: "noexport", "contents" (it would export only the content)

>
> @foo[:color red :export latex+ odt* html*]{lorem ipsum dolor}
Similar to :lang attribute, I see this idea to be more general than
inline markup scope. It does not have to be applicable only to inline
markup. We can extend selective export further - to paragraph-level
elements and to headings.
Recently, we even got a feature request to
exclude/include certain subtrees from export for specific backends:
https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/1008678740.100388.1708624390334@fidget.co-bxl/
So, we can approach this just like for :lang attribute, except that we
do not need special handling with unconditional inheritance for all the
inline markup
1. Allow :lang attributes and make them follow standard inheritance
rules
2. Introduce a new affiliated keyword #+EXPORT
3. Introduce a new subtree property :EXPORT:
4. Introduce #+EXPORT: per-document keyword
5. (optional) Introduce new #+SELECT_TAGS:BACKEND:
#+EXCLUDE_TAGS:BACKEND to allow excluding/selecting subtrees by tag
(more visible compared to properties)

Sorry for joining the discussion a bit late. A long time ago I created a
syntax to be able to mix languages in that way, and a program to separate
each version into a different file.
Info: https://www.danielclemente.com/dislines/
Sample: https://www.danielclemente.com/dislines/perl.txt
Syntax: https://www.danielclemente.com/dislines/syntax.en.html
Syntax in practice: https://www.danielclemente.com/dislines/quick.en.txt
It's format-agnostic, and unrelated to org. I have used it in plain HTML
and other file types.
Many times I tried to use it for org-mode, and while it works, the
challenges are more. For instance I'd like to integrate it into the export
process (so that a single command produces many files), I want to use it to
translate headers (but where do you keep the translations of the header
name? in the header itself? in a property?), I want the TOC to use the
translated headers, and I want to keep links working (and making sure each
language only links to files in the same language). More difficult yet:
what if a particular language requires another header structure (more
headers, fewer headers, or headers arranged in another way).
I tried several approaches (inline tasks, SRC blocks, my own syntax, tags
in headers, one sub-header per language, selective export of tags,
properties in headers, post-processing, exporting all and making language
selection in JS, one manual TOC per language, …). But I didn't have time to
think or discover a good system. Multi-language hypertext systems are hard.
Maybe you can get some ideas from this, if you're still working on mixing
human languages in org paragraphs/headers/lines/files. I see the discussion
may have shifted from multilingual texts (i.e. human languages) to
multi-backend texts (e.g. export HTML/LaTeX/… differently); multi-backend
variations might be an easier goal than dealing with multilingual texts and
translations.
Thanks for implementing code for your ideas.

I find :export-rules too abstract. Unless a better name is proposed, I
prefer :backends.

Vim for options allowing list of values has several options
:set opt=value1,value2 " assign new value
:set opt+=value " add to list
:set opt-=value " remove from list if it is there
:set opt& " reset to default value
I am unsure whether all variants should be implemented.

Certainly :export (:backends) is not the only property that should
accumulate values.

Yes, a patch clarifying what to do to force apostrophe would be welcome.

It's not a bad idea to use entities. I just discovered that an \rsquo
entity already exists. Right single quotation mark is the Unicode
recommended character for the apostrophe, and it is also the character
used in org-export-smart-quotes-alist[1].
Anyway, I think a) your patch could be a major improvement; b) perhaps a
brief note in the manual (I can send a tiny patch) should be added to
warn of possible ambiguities, and possible solutions.
[1] Although there are arguments against this Unicode recommendation,

These are not false-positives, but ambiguity. There is no deterministic
way in this scenario to distinguish between apostrophe and smart quotes.

Hi, Ihor,
The patch works fine, and I think it can prevent a lot of cases. But
false positives can still appear. Consider (second level quotes open
after the colon):
"two articles: 'my friends' party' and 'the students' papers'"
"A Greek folk song says: 'να 'ρθώ το βράδυ'"
==>
\guillemotleft{}two articles: ``my friends'' party' and ``the students'' papers'\guillemotright{}
\guillemotleft{}A Greek folk song says: 'να ``ρθώ το βράδυ''\guillemotright{}
I think the only solution here would be to introduce a Unicode
apostrophe (’). Or allow an optional, alternative character for
second-level quotes:
"... `my friends' party` ..."

I think that we can address examples like this simply by not replacing
unbalanced quotes. There is already some effort in the code towards such
treatment, but it is not complete.

Hi,
I don't know if this is a known issue, but I haven't been able to find
any mention of it. I think this is partly because in English it can go
perfectly unnoticed, since for English the values of secondary-closing
and apostrophe are identical:
(secondary-closing :utf-8 "’" :html "’" :latex "'" :texinfo "'")
(apostrophe :utf-8 "’" :html "’")
However, consider the following example:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
#+OPTIONS: ':t
#+language:es
"my friends' party and the students' papers"
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
the above produces in LaTeX:
\guillemotleft{}my friends'' party and the students'' papers\guillemotright{}
In Spanish, as in other similar cases, the issue is easier to reproduce
because:
(secondary-closing :utf-8 "”" :html "”" :latex "''" :texinfo "''")
(apostrophe :utf-8 "’" :html "’")
I don't know whether to consider this a bug or a limitation in the
current implementation, originating from how Org interprets an
apostrophe. Although I suspect it has a difficult solution: how to
differentiate an apostrophe from a second-level quote in certain
scenarios, when the approach seems to be essentially heuristic? Let us
also consider cases in which the apostrophe can be placed at the
beginning of a word, as in Greek:
"να 'ρθώ το βράδυ"
(Org would confuse the apostrophe in the word 'ρθώ with second-level
opening quotes)
Perhaps a possible solution would be to allow the use of a specific,
customizable character, other than an apostrophe, for second-level
quotes. Or at least add some brief warning in the manual: in certain
contexts it is safer to use a explicit Unicode character for the
apostrophe.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

But it is the expected result in all attributes. If an attribute of the
same type as the one declared in the alias is added, the value is
overwritten.
In any case, since in this case the attribute allows cumulative values,
I think the approach should be at the level of the attribute name itself
and not the code to manage the export rules. For example:
:export [or whatever new name we give it] ==> normal behavior, overwrites the values
:export+ ==> adds the new values to the values defined in the alias
This syntax could also be extended to other cases. Perhaps we want
attributes like :prelatex, :postlatex, or :html to support accumulating
values. It could be easily solved from the functions of each backend. In
other cases, of course, it wouldn't make sense (a block can't have two
languages at the same time), but in that scenario, if someone puts
:lang+, it simply wouldn't be taken into account. Wdyt?

Ok, I agree. I suggest that from now any new thread related to the new
object have as subject:
"inline-special-block: specific topic to discuss".
Tomorrow I will try to answer all the latest questions related to the
export rules.

Would you mind against new thread as an umbrella for next bunch of
topics? Current one becomes too large from my point of view.
For a while a couple of questions related to :export to think on.
I am afraid that :export will cause confusion with :exports for source
code blocks. Its name differs by just "s" but possible values have
nothing common.
Another issue is more general and should apply e.g. to HTML attributes
as well. Consider
--- 8< ---
#+options: inline-special-block-aliases:(("kbd" :export "html*"
:html-tag kbd))
@kbd{Default} and @kbd[:export "latex*"]{LaTeX}
--- >8 ---
It exports to
<p>\nDefault and <kbd class="kbd">LaTeX</kbd></p>
I would expect that "html*" is inherited from the parent declaration and
"latex*" does not override it, so
<p>\nDefault and LaTeX</p>
On the other hand it should be possible to specify that declared earlier
rules should be taken into consideration. E.g. "#" might stop further
processing:
--- 8< ---
#+options: inline-special-block-aliases:(("kbd" :export "html*"
:html-tag kbd))
@kbd{Default} and @kbd[:export "latex* #"]{LaTeX}
--- >8 ---
makes
<p>\nDefault and <kbd class="kbd">LaTeX</kbd></p>
result valid.
In the meanwhile I have realized that there is no point in the list of
parsed rules. You may consider code organized in a bit different way. I
hope, just a single extra line in these helpers is required to support "#".

BACKEND
A string consisting of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, or

At first I thought it may be used as [:export backend=-] and it is the
reason why I was confused. However I still do not see difference between
[:export backend -] and [:export backend =-].

I agree, it is intuitive, but it makes formal rules more complicated.

I would prefer to modify code to handle
[:export latex.+ latex=/]
to apply first declaration (content only) to latex and second one (skip)
to derived backends. Anyway the code requires optimization. Walk through
parent backends is likely inefficient.

Then I will postpone other questions (mostly unrelated to :export).

I've been testing your code and it works very well. It is certainly
finer than the current approach. I think it could be implemented, and we
are testing that.
Tomorrow I will make a new commit with your code.

'rest' (=) is equivalent to the rest of the backends that have not been
explicitly set. What happens is that, with my current approach, if you
want to export only one backend, you must enter:
:export backend =- (that is, export this backend and not the rest)
This is not ideal. It should be enough to just put:
:export backend
but I am not able to achieve it.

OK. How about the following?
- Single characters (they affect everything, if backend name is not
specified, or the rest, if backend name is specified:
* content
/ skip
. never export derived backends
= full, this and derived backends (default)
- And in combination with backend names (some examples):
:export latex* > content to LaTeX, normal to the rest
:export latex/ > do not export to LaTeX
:export latex. > do not export to LaTeX derived backends
:export latex . > export normally to LaTeX but do not export the derived backends in the rest of the cases
etc.
These days I'm going to be a little short on time, due to work, and I
don't know if I'll be able to attend to the list. I want to calmly take
a look at the code you share.

1. "-" is a valid backend name and valid last character of backend name
2. From the description it is not clear to me what is effect of "rest"

I have had into the code. I would expect something like the following
(characters may be changed, the code is not heavily tested). Two
characters from the following groups may be appended to backend name:
+ full (default)
* content
/ skip

To summarize the latest improvements and modifications to the `:export'
attribute...
The attribute supports one or more elements separated by a space. Each
element can be any of the following signs: "*" (export only the
content), "-" (do not export), "=" (export the rest normally), "=*"
(export the rest, but only the content), "=-" (do not export the rest).
Additionally, backend names can be given explicitly, alone or
accompanied by the "*" or "-" signs, that is (where "backend" equals the
name of the backend):
backend: export normally for that backend and its derived backends;
backend-: do not export for that backend or its derived backends.
backend*: export only the content for that backend and its derived
backends.
Some examples with valid combinations:
@foo[:export *]{lorem ipsum}
==> export only the content
@foo[:export -]{lorem ipsum}
==> do not export
@foo[:export latex-]{lorem ipsum}
==> do not export to LaTeX
@foo[:export latex- html* =]{lorem ipsum}
==> do not export to LaTeX, export only the content to html and export the
rest normally.
@foo[:export latex =*]{lorem ipsum}
==> export normally to LaTeX but export only the content to the rest
@foo[:export latex =-]{lorem ipsum}
==> export normally to LaTeX and not export to the rest
And below is a complete example based on a possible use case that Max
had exposed:

Please try the latest commit:

#+begin_export html
<iframe src="https://youtube.com/embed/..."
title="Org mode in action demo"

It would not be exported to html or its derived backends.
(In your example you used `-html' instead of `html-'. I have no
preference for one variant or another).

It was necessary with the previous implementation, which excessively
abused regexp. Not now (I want to do a few more tests and I'll make a
new commit with the changes). With the new implementation, now:
- do not export
* export only the content
= rest (full)
=* rest (contents only)
backend- do not export this backend (and the backends derived from it)
backend+ (or, perhaps, just "backend") export this backend (idem)
backend* export this backend (contents only) (idem)
I think your example with the video link would also be possible with the
new implementation.

I do not see why operator should be duplicated for backends that are not
specified explicitly. Single "+" (default) or "-" should be enough. I
have not got your idea with leading "!". From my point of view it is
redundant.

how about the following:

Instead of "noexport" and "rest" that may be confused with backend names
I would consider "+" and "*" without any name. I would consider some
characters like "-", "_", "!", "~" to express "do not export to this and
derived backends" and "do not export for specified backend only".

In the last commit I have introduced some changes. Now this new feature
is no longer hardcoded in each backend but is controlled by an external
function in ox.el. I think this can simplify the implementation for
other backends.
As Stefan Nobis proposed, the "+" sign is now not necessary:
backend-name = full export
backend-name* = only contents
And the "rest" option is introduced, with the same syntax as before.
Examples:
@foo[:export noexport]{lorem ipsum dolor}
==> does not export anything
@foo[:export contents]{lorem ipsum dolor}
==> only contents
@foo[:export latex]{lorem ipsum dolor}
==> exports only to LaTeX
@foo[:export latex odt* html*]{lorem ipsum dolor}
==> exports everything to LaTeX, but to odt and HTML only the content
@foo[:export latex* rest]{lorem ipsum dolor}
==> content to LaTeX but full export to the rest of the backends
@foo[:export latex rest*]{lorem ipsum dolor}
==> the opposite of the above.

What about "others" or even ":others" as a placeholder for any not
explicitly mentioned export backend?
Another quick thought crossing my mind: May make "+" the default (so
"latex" means "latex+" and only use a marker char like '*' for
"content only")?

I think so. In any case, although this object is proving pleasantly
versatile for us, I think we should not lose sight of the fact that its
main purpose is to be an inline text container with export properties.
Exports snippets are more for literal code inclusion. There can be
border uses between both objects, as there can also be with macros and
links. I suppose the ideal is to always choose the feature that best
suits a given context. One can put, for example @esindex[:export
latex+]{some word}, but in this case it would be more comfortable to put
@@latex:\esindex{some word}@@ or even use a macro.

I will try to implement the "rest" option.

Your example uses a closed list of backends while "not (html or latex)"
may be applicable to ascii, rst, some wiki dialects, etc.
Backend-specific markup may be more complex and content of fallback
option may be different from text used in export snippets. Perhaps I
shouldn't give so simple example.
Side note: I expect that the new object will be more convenient than
export snippets in most cases.
> :export "latex+ html+ rest*"
"rest" might be a valid backend name.

I think that in your example (if I understand the intentions correctly)
it would not even be necessary to use export snippets:
#+options: inline-special-block-aliases:(("strong" :latex-command textbf
:html-tag strong :export "latex+ html+ odt*" ))
@strong{formatting}
or even:
@strong{@@latex:\latex{}: @@@@html:HTML: @@ formatting}
As defined, it is exported to LaTeX and HTML with all the formatting,
but only the content is exported to odt. The rest are not exported.
Maybe an "rest" option could be added, to avoid verbosity:
:export "latex+ html+ rest*"
(the complete format is exported to LaTeX and html and only the content to the rest).
However, I think that exporting this object to 'format-agnostic' backends,
such as plain text, would have to be implemented in a way that always
exports the content.

I don't have a definite opinion. Maybe it would be nice to also take
into account derived backends...

You can modify <sup> a little so that it does not alter the paragraph
line spacing so much. In this example, with a value of 0em, it is
positioned on the baseline:
#+HTML_HEAD: <style> sup {vertical-align: baseline;position: relative;bottom: 0em;} </style>
Another slightly dirtier way is with an export filter in your document.
The sub tag is removed and the reference number is enclosed in square
brackets, separated by a space from the previous word:
#+BIND: org-export-filter-footnote-reference-functions (footnote-sup-filter)
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports results :results none
(defun footnote-sup-filter (text backend info)
(when (org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'html)
(replace-regexp-in-string "<a" " <a"
(replace-regexp-in-string "\\([[:digit:]]+\\)\\(</a\\)" "[\\1]\\2"
(replace-regexp-in-string "</?sup>" "" text)))))
#+end_src

I have a bit different expectations in respect to export predicates. It
should be possible to express that some content should be exported by
all backend except the given list. The use case is fallback for backends
not covered by export snippets:
@@latex:\textbf{\LaTeX() formatting}@@@@html:<strong>HTML
formatting</strong>@@@[...]{*for other backends}

Another case for backend predicates is whether it should be applicable
to derived backends or just to explicitly specified ones.

I have implemented the new :export attribute in the last commit, to
experiment (in any case, it can always be reverted). The syntax and
usage are as described in the previous message. An example, where we
define an alias for inline comments and another for highlighted text: It
will only be exported as highlighted text to LaTeX (using the lua-ul
package for LuaLaTeX); only the content will be exported to HTML; and it
will not be exported to the rest of the backends.
#+options: inline-special-block-aliases:(("comment" :export "noexport")("hl" :export "latex+ html*" :latex-command "highLight"))
#+latex_header: \usepackage{xcolor,luacolor,lua-ul}
#+latex_compiler: lualatex
@hl{this is highlighted text, only in LaTeX} @comment{this is a comment}

I'm thinking about adding a new global attribute, `:export', that
would granularly control whether or not to export the object and how to
export it.
Possible values: "noexport", "contents" (it would export only the content)
or the backends to which you want to export, separated by spaces. Each
backend should be followed by a "+" sign (= export all) or "*" (export
content only). For example:
@foo[:color red :export latex+ odt* html*]{lorem ipsum dolor}
This means that "lorem ipsum dolor" would be exported with color format
to LaTeX, but only the content would be exported to odt and html.
Wdyt?

Ok, I think you and Maxim are right. This is a clear bug. I hope it

1. Parser must not throw errors on text files. Ever. Any text file is a

2. We should demand paired {...}, as we do for latex fragments,

From my point of view it is a pitfall with Org syntax, but parser works
as it should.
On the other hand if there is no closing bracket then it is not an
inline special block, so this part of document should be considered as
text (unless some other objects are recognized).
Currently Org parser does not signal errors even for invalid input.

Maybe in that case you could add a zero width space character.
In any case, if someone has reasons to write "Alpha@Beta{" they may also
have reasons to write "Alpha_Beta":
(org-export-string-as "Alpha_beta"
'html
'(:export-options (body-only)))
<p>
Alpha<sub>beta</sub></p>

mmm, right. And there may also be a problem with the subscripts: &_{subscript}...
Perhaps we should think about a structure less prone to ambiguities. For
example:
&:type[attrs]{text} / &:_[attrs]{text}
(I think someone had suggested something like this in a past message,
but I can't find it, apologies).

It seems the parser finds new objects where syntactical constructs are
incomplete:
(org-export-string-as "Alpha&Beta{"
'html
'(:export-options (body-only)))
"<p>\nAlpha<span class=\"Beta\"></span>{</p>\n"
My expectation is
"<p>\nAlpha&Beta{</p>\n"
Even worse
(org-export-string-as "Alpha&Beta["
'html
'(:export-options (body-only)))
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument
number-or-marker-p nil)
I think, this particular case deserves a unit test despite it is too
early for extensive test suite.

With the latest commit now the anonymous variant without attributes
simply returns the content (in LaTeX, HTML and odt). You can try:
&_{/lorem/}&_{*ipsum*}&_{_dolor_}
==> LaTeX: \emph{lorem}\textbf{ipsum}\uline{dolor}
==> HTML <i>lorem</i><b>ipsum</b><span class="underline">dolor</span>
==> ODT <text:span text:style-name="Emphasis">lorem</text:span><text:span text:style-name="Bold">ipsum</text:span><text:span text:style-name="Underline">dolor</text:span>

It seems like a good idea to me. Currently, in LaTeX:
&_{lorem ipsum dolor} ==> LaTeX ==> lorem ipsum dolor
It can also be extended to html, odt and the rest of the backends.
That is, by default, the anonymous variant without attributes simply
returns the content.
Another possibility (with the current implementation):
#+options: inline-special-block-aliases:(("b" :html-tag "b")("i" :html-tag "i"))
&b{intra}&i{word}

The new feature is promising as an alternative for U+200B zero width
space as an escape character (info "(org) Escape Character"). It may
adjusted to allow really plain text markup instead of a character
invisible by default:
(org-export-string-as "Example of &_{*intra*}&_{/word/} markup"
'html
'(:export-options (body-only)))
"<p>
Example of <span><b>intra</b></span><span><i>word</i></span> markup</p>
"
However to produce clean export result <span> elements should not be
added if no attributes are specified. My expectation is
"<p>
Example of <b>intra</b><i>word</i> markup</p>
"

With the current implementation this:
#+options: inline-special-block-aliases:(("definition" :smallcaps t))
&definition{Example}
produces:
<span style="font-variant:small-caps;" class="definition">Example</span>
:smallcaps simply adds a (say) direct formatting layer. I am not a fan
of any form of direct formatting. But, as I already said, I think that
these types of global attributes can be useful for users who do not want
to bother with predefining styles, classes or commands in
odt/html/LaTeX, or because they do not know how to do it. They simply
want a text to be exported with a certain color or with small caps, or
with more effects (in case more global attributes are implemented
(background color, text size, etc).
I think an option could be added to disable global attributes or specify
which backend they should be used on. Anyway, I would not see it
necessary, but perhaps other users think differently.

OK, just consider it as my dissenting opinion. I believe that it should
be possible for the same Org document
#+options: inline-special-block-aliases:(("definition" :smallcaps t))
&definition{Example} or &_[:smallcaps t]{ad-hoc}

<span style="font-variant:small-caps;">Example</span>

The "global attribute" concept implies that there should be (ideally)
the same result in all possible backends (naturally, if the output is
plain text, :color doesn't make much sense). Global attributes are a
quick and easy (for the user) way to create direct formatting, analogous
to the LaTeX commands \textcolor, \textsc, etc. Its casual use is the
most recommended, in my opinion. Let's imagine that a user wants to
color segments of text, in the same color, for LaTeX and odt, and does
not want to bother with predefined styles or macros in odt and LaTeX
respectively.
If a segment of text must have a different appearance, for example, in
LaTeX (small caps) and HTML (red color), you can put:
&_[:html style="color:red;" :prelatex \scshape{}]{text}
And if one wants to have more robust control, for example because many
text segments must have a certain treatment in HTML, odt or LaTeX,
styles, classes and macros can always be defined in the output format.
Additionally, there are the :odt-style, :latex-command, :html-tag and
:html-class attributes to override what is necessary. What's more, in
specific cases global attributes can be added.
I think that the current implementation is very flexible and gives rise
to many possible variations, and the combination of direct formatting
and styles to suit the user.

I am in doubts if smallcaps should be hardcoded. From my point of view,
current implementation is unnecessary rigid. In this particular example
:smallcaps is an ad-hoc property. I would expect its usage through an
alias definition, e.g.
#+options: inline-special-block-aliases:(("definition" :smallcaps t))
If some type is used through the document multiple times then it is
better to avoid style="font-variant:small-caps" and use a CSS class
instead. Even for LaTeX it may be better to define a dedicated command
to be closer to semantic markup.
Moreover different decorations may be used in LaTeX and HTML. Some type
may be typed in small caps in LaTeX, but in HTML it may use regular font
and some color.
Perhaps an e.g. user-configurable and extensible alist of types with
per-backend properties should be used instead.
A portion of wisdom how to represent small caps for each export backend
may be handy, but accessing it should be more flexible.

I think "custom" is an important part of defining the new object. Unlike
other elements/objects, such as emphasis marks, this one does not add
any (let's say) "logical or semantic" information. I mean, emphasis
marks (to continue with the example) are useful when reading an Org
document as it is. But the new object is rather a segment of text that
must be exported in a certain way to LaTeX, odt, HTML, etc. Something
like "&foo{some text}" does not provide any information to the reader,
but rather to the exporters and the output format. So, how about
something like:
- Custom Export Fragment
- Custom Export Span
- Custom Export "Whatever"
- ...
?
(I especially like "span" because of the similarity with html and family.
Pandoc uses the term bracketed spans for its custom markdown).

Special blocks are really block-level elements. I see similarity,
however with a better term we could avoid "inline" specifier. I think,
the new beast may serve in some cases currently handled by macros. LaTeX
snippets are named "fragments" in the manual.

A little-known (and sometimes very useful) latexmk option is the -pvc
option. According to the latexmk manual:
[...] The second previewing option is the powerful -pvc option
(mnemonic: "preview continuously"). In this case, latexmk
runs continuously, regularly monitoring all the source files
to see if any have changed. Every time a change is detected,
latexmk runs all the programs necessary to generate a new
version of the document. A good previewer will then
automatically update its display. Thus the user can simply
edit a file and, when the changes are written to disk,
latexmk completely automates the cycle of updating the .dvi
(and/or the .ps and .pdf) file, and refreshing the
previewer's display. It's not quite WYSIWYG, but usefully
close.
In order to use this option from Org, I have defined a simple minor mode
that runs latexmk with the -pvc option and creates a buffer to monitor
the process. Every time the document, or any file involved, is saved,
the PDF is updated. We can define in our `latexmkrc' our favorite
external PDF viewer (Atril, Okular, Evince, etc.). I have this line:
┌────
│ $pdf_previewer = "atril %O %S > /dev/null 2>&1 &";
└────
And here's the code (for documents that are long, complex, or take a
while to export, it may be better to use the asynchronous version of
`org-latex-export-to-latex'):
┌────
│ (defun my-org-compile-latexmk-interactive ()

I chose "inline special block" because special blocks, and because of

I find the feature name confusing, however I am unsure if others share
my opinion.
In Org syntax, "elements" are paragraphs and larger parts, while parts
within paragraphs are named objects. I admit that for org-element
everything is element.
In CSS "display: inline block" makes an HTML element a rectangular block
inside a paragraph while new feature is mostly intended for normal text
flow. I admit that &parbox[...]{...} may be used to create an instance
similar to inline block and that "inline source blocks" are already
described in the manual.
Does anybody have an idea of a better name for a feature? Maybe
something like inline custom objects, snippets. "Objects" are used to
describe syntax, but not used in the manual though.

Hi again,
The odt backend is now complete with the `org-odt-inline-special-block'
function. Some particularities of exporting to odt:
- The only specific attribute is :odt-style, which overrides the default
style. Example:
&foo{lorem ipsum} ==> the style is "foo"
&foo[:odt-style bar]{lorem ipsum} ==> the style is "bar". Same with the
anonymous variant &_[:odt-style bar]{lorem ipsum}.
- The three global attributes supported in the LaTeX and HTML backends
are also supported in odt: `:lang', `:color' and `:smallcaps'. I have
learned that these direct format elements are in odt "automatic
styles", which must be declared before the body. I haven't thought of
any other way to do it than using a list of automatic styles that is
inserted inside `org-odt-template', with each export. Some examples with
various combinations:
&foo[:color magenta :odt-style Bold]{this is magenta and bold}
&foo[:color red :odt-style Emphasis]{this is red and emphasis}
&Underline[:color green]{this is green and underline}
&foo[:color blue]{this is blue with &_[:smallcaps t]{smallcaps}}
And a screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/KNhYQrv.png

I think you're right. I have removed the need for "!" in the last

Now the syntax is:

Hi,
Finally, I have made public on GitLab my experimental branch for the new
(possible) inline-special-block element:
<https://gitlab.com/maciaschain/org-mode.git>
The code incorporates fixes and modifications and I have also added some
ideas from Maxim Nikulin. The LaTeX and HTML backends are complete,
although of course it can still be perfected. Recapitulating the
necessary information:
The new element can be nested and supports other elements such as links,
macros, emphasis marks, etc.
The basic syntax:
┌────
│ &foo{lorem ipsum dolor}
└────
produces in LaTeX:
┌────
│ \foo{lorem ipsum dolor}
└────
and in HTML:
┌────
│ <span class="foo">lorem ipsum dolor</span>
└────
There is also an anonymous variant:
┌────
│ &_{lorem ipsum dolor}
└────
Optional attributes in square brackets are supported. There are a series
of 'universal' attributes, common to each backend. At the moment:
`:lang', `:color' and `:smallcaps'. Example:
┌────
│ &foo[:color red :smallcaps t :lang it]{lorem ipsum dolor}
└────
Specific to the LaTeX backend we have the `:prelatex' and `:postlatex'
attributes (which introduce arbitrary code before and after the content)
and `:latex-command', which overrides the exported command.
`:latex-command nocommand' does not export a command flag. Examples:
┌────
│ &foo[:prelatex [bar] :postlatex {baz} :lang it :latex-command blah]{lorem ipsum dolor}
└────
==>
┌────
│ \foreignlanguage{italian}{\blah[bar]{lorem ipsum dolor}{baz}}
└────
┌────
│ &_[:prelatex \foo{bar} :color red]{lorem ipsum dolor}
└────
==>
┌────
│ {\color{red}\foo{bar}lorem ipsum dolor}
└────
Likewise, for HTML we have the `:html-tag' and `:html-class' attributes
(which override the tags and the class name) and another one, more
generic, `:html', which introduces arbitrary code, such as
`style="..."'.
We can group lists of attributes as aliases. The syntax waould be:
┌────
│ &alias!{text}
└────
and we can also combine aliases with more single attributes:
┌────
│ &alias![more-attributes]{text}
└────
An example: let's imagine that we want a specific block for short quotes
in Latin and italics (it is normative in some typographical traditions
that quotes in classical Latin are put in italics instead of quotation
marks):
┌────
│ #+options: inline-special-block-aliases:(("latin" :lang "la" :latex-command "textit" :html-tag "em"))
│
│ Caesar's famous quote: &latin!{Alea iacta est}
│
│ Caesar's famous quote: &latin![:smallcaps t :color blue]{Alea iacta est}
└────
==> LaTeX:
┌────
│ Caesar's famous quote: \foreignlanguage{latin}{\textit{Alea iacta est}}
│
│ Caesar's famous quote: {\scshape{}\color{blue}\foreignlanguage{latin}{\textit{Alea iacta est}}}
└────
== HTML:
┌────
│ Caesar's famous quote: <em lang="la" class="latin">Alea iacta est</em>
│
│ Caesar's famous quote: <em style="color:blue;font-variant:small-caps;" lang="la" class="latin">Alea iacta est</em>
└────

Juan Manuel

It makes sense, although I have never encountered a case like this.
Usually (and returning to the example of the large special blocks), if
in org I put something like:
#+begin_foo
...
#+end_foo
I try to ensure that there is a "foo" environment in LaTeX, a "foo" class
in html or a "foo" style in odt (now I don't remember if the odt exporter
produces paragraph styles from special blocks. I don't think so).
In any case, on second thought, maybe someone wants to reuse a LaTeX
preamble, css style sheets or any odt templates. I see no problem, then,
in there being attributes like :latex-command, :html-tag, :odt-style :html-attribute,
etc., which override the default values.

With the current implementation:
#+options: inline-special-block-aliases:(("bar" :prelatex [bar]) ("baz" :prelatex [baz]))
&foo[@bar@]{lorem ipsum} ==> \foo[bar]{lorem ipsum}
&foo[@baz@]{lorem ipsum} ==> \foo[baz]{lorem ipsum}
Your example is less verbose, but with this implementation you can do combinations, it's
more granular, I think:
&foo[@bar@ :smallcaps t]{lorem ipsum} ==> {\scshape\foo[bar]{lorem ipsum}}
&foo[@baz@ :lang it]{lorem ipsum} ==> \foo[baz]{\foreignlanguage{italian}{lorem ipsum}}
I think this is quite flexible and leaves a great deal of freedom to the user.

Indeed, if the :latex-command attr is implemented should work in both
variants. In such a way, perhaps:

We can continue the discussion when I publish my experimental branch and
share the link. I'm a little late because I want to make some
corrections to the code first.

Consider a document aimed to be exported to different formats. It is
unlikely that names of commands, elements, classes, etc. match for all
of them.

Command may require additional arguments and it should be convenient to
define shortcuts to the same command with different arguments:
&la{text} => \foreignlanguage{latin}{text}
&es{text} => \foreinglanguage{spanish}{text}

The idea is to not add \begingroup and \endgroup if LaTeX command is
specified (or to control it by a dedicated attribute). Again, consider a
document suitable for multiple export formats.
I think, flexibility in respect to underlying commands/classes/elements
allows to minimize changes in documents later. Sometimes it is necessary
to switch to another LaTeX package, CSS framework, etc. It allows usage
semantic names within Org documents despite they may be exported to the
same command.

The question is proper balance of built-in features, flexibility,
implementation complexity. It would be unfortunate if most of users will
have to create custom backends even for basic documents.

Maxim, I insist that I follow the logic of the "large" special blocks.
Anyway, I think your example only makes sense in HTML, or at least I
can't make sense of it in LaTeX. Why would anyone want &foo{text} to be
passed to LaTeX as \bar{text}, instead of just &bar{text}? In HTML it
does seem sensible to me that someone would want to change the tags.
Maybe with a :html-tag, or something like that.
As for :latex-command, if I understand it correctly, I don't quite see
how useful this could be:
&foo[:latex-command bar]{text} == LaTeX ==> \bar{text}
when it is simpler to put:
&bar{text}
The same thing happens with the anonymous variant:
&_[:latex-command foo]{text} == LaTeX ==> \foo{text}
which is identical to putting &foo{text}
The anonymous variant would be equivalent in LaTeX to a
\begingroup...\endgroup, or rather to {...}. One could add all the
commands one wants within the group simply with :prelatex:
&_[:prelatex \foo\bar\vaz\blah{}]{text}
==> {\foo\bar\vaz\blah{}text}
I'm not opposed to your ideas, I just can't find a use case for it. In
LaTeX, I mean. In the case of HTML I find it useful, indeed, to have
more control over the tags: <foo></foo>, <bar></bar>, etc.
In any case, I think that my implementation leaves open the possibility
of extending it with everything you mentioned, or anything else.

Juan Manuel,
I am not against optional arguments. The idea is to make the feature
more flexible and convenient for domain-specific documents. I did not
use square brackets in my example to concentrate on the use case of
concise and clear markup.

Do not concentrate on \foreignlanguage. I am using it just because the
thread was started from markup suitable for mixed-language texts.

I do not try to dispute \foo and class="foo" as default behavior. I
suggest to implement possibility to override default behavior of
&foo{text} to \bar{text} and <bar>text</bar>. The same is applicable for
anonymous objects
&_[:latex_command bar :html_element bar]{text}
> class in HTML
HTML has a number of elements for semantic markup, e.g. <kbd>, <var>,
<abbr>, etc. I hope, they can be supported in addition to default <span>.

mmm, I see it as not very flexible and perhaps too complicated for the user.
My idea with the concept of inline-special-block is that it is like the
inline version of its older brother. If something like
#+begin_foo
...
#+end_foo
produces things like
\begin{foo}
...
\end{foo}
or
<div class="foo">
...
</div>
the user should expect something like &foo{...} to produce \foo{...} or
<span class=foo>...</span>, etc. The only difference is that there would
be an anonymous variant &_{...}.
The attributes syntax (in square brackets) adds verbosity, but I
understand that it is also very flexible and granular. It doesn't need
to be used always, but at least it's there when you need to use it.
Furthermore, the user can always define lists of attributes (styles or
aliases: I would have preferred the term "style", instead of "alias",
but I fear that it will be confused with the HTML attribute of the same
name). Furthermore, these lists of attributes can also be used in
combination with other single attributes, giving rise to a great
possibility of combinations. The fact that there are a number of
universal attributes such as :lang, :color, :smallcaps prevents the user
from having to figure out which code to use on each backend to produce
colored text, small caps or the correct language selector. ":lang ru",
for example, will always produce in LaTeX \foreignlanguage{russian}{}
(which, in addition, is a command shared by babel and polyglossia) and
in HTML lang="ru".
And ultimately you could also think about some kind of folding for the
attributes part.
I believe that this possible new element would solve the need for a
native, multipurpose inline text container with properties[1], which
until now could only be achieved through macros or links, with the
limitations of both elements.
Additionally, I think this approach is more flexible than having
specific purpose blocks (for languages, colors, etc.).
Of course, it would be best not to abuse the attributes. If in a
long document one needs to put a single sentence in red, I don't think
it is a verbosity problem to put something like &_[:color red]{lorem
ipsum dolor}. If you need to put a lot of sentences in red or any other
color, it may be a better idea to define some command in LaTeX
(\redtext), a class in HTML or a character style in odt. And then it
would be enough to use &redtext{lorem ipsum dolor}.
[1] Pandoc has the "bracketed spans". According to pandoc manual:
#+begin_quote
A bracketed sequence of inlines, as one would use to begin
a link, will be treated as a Span with attributes if it is followed
immediately by attributes:
[This is *some text*]{.class key="val"}
#+end_quote

It is more verbose than &la{lorem ipsum dolor sit amet}. My idea is to
allow latex commands other than object type ("la" this case). Something like
#+options: custom-object(:type la :latex_element foreignlanguage
:latex_pre "{latin}")

Hi, Maxim,
In the end I abandoned the concept of inline language block to the
detriment of the more general concept of inline special block (as,
rightly, proposed Ihor). I feel that at the beginning both concepts
overlapped. The patch you mention deals exclusively with the inline
special block concept, as well as the experimental branch that I hope to
publish shortly.
The syntax of my approach, summarized, would be:
-basic form: &foo[optional attributes]{lorem ipsum dolor}
==> LaTeX \foo{lorem ipsum dolor} ; ==> HTML <span class="foo">lorem
ipsum dolor</span>
- anonymous variant: &_{lorem ipsum dolor}
Common to all backends (so far I have only implemented LaTeX and HTML)
are a series of universal attributes. At the moment I have thought about
the following: :lang, :smallcaps and :color. For example:
&foo[:lang el :color blue :smallcaps t]{contents}
==> LaTeX:
{\scshape\color{blue}\foreignlanguage{greek}{\foo{contents}}}
==> HTML
<span class="foo" lang="el" style="color:blue;font-variant:small-caps;">contents</span>
There is also the :html attribute and for LaTeX the :prelatex and
:postlatex attributes. Groups of attributes can also be defined, as if
they were styles, and combined with single attributes:
#+options: inline-special-block-aliases:(("latin" :lang "la" :color blue :prelatex "\\itshape " :html "style=\"font-style:italic;\""))
This is an example of Latin text: &_[@latin@]{lorem ipsum dolor sit amet}.
This is an example of Latin text with small caps: &_[@latin@ :smallcaps t]{lorem ipsum dolor sit amet}.
==> LaTeX:
This is an example of Latin text: {\color{blue}\foreignlanguage{latin}{\itshape lorem ipsum dolor sit amet}}.
This is an example of Latin text with small caps: {\scshape{}\color{blue}\foreignlanguage{latin}{\itshape lorem ipsum dolor sit amet}}
==> HTML:
This is an example of Latin text: <span style="color:blue;font-style:italic;" lang="la">lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</span>.
This is an example of Latin text with small caps: <span style="color:blue;font-variant:small-caps;font-style:italic;" lang="la">lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</span>.

Juan Manuel your ":fr{}" and similar objects is a domain-specific
language that is quite different from a generic element proposed by
Samuel. Do you think it makes sense to modify your inline special block
patch to allow creation of concise DSL?
Juan Manuel Macías. [testing patch] inline-special-block with full
implementation for LaTeX backend. Fri, 23 Feb 2024 23:50:52 +0000.
https://list.orgmode.org/87ttlyloyr.fsf@posteo.net
I mean &fr{bonjour} defined using "#+options:" or some new keyword or a
special block. A definition of "fr" may be (using a bit different names)
:latex_element "foreignlanguage" :latex_prefix "french"
:html_element "span" :html_attr (:lang "fr")
&fr{} is no heavier than :fr{}. The only drawback is necessity to define
elements for each language used in the document. I do not think, even a
dozen of declarations is a significant burden.

Yes, you can use "[BLOG] [Spanish] ..." so that people adapt their
filters, but the second prefix won't have any effect on Woof.
But because the language for discussing on this list is english, I
believe the summary should be in english - then people can use i18n
tools to get to the contents.
How does this sound?

In Sacha Chua's news non-English blog posts are just shared as is:
2023年のorg-mode活用と今後の抱負 - takeokunn's blog (@kaneuchi@mstdn.jp)
(from https://sachachua.com/blog/2024/01/2024-01-29-emacs-news/)
As long as the fraction of non-English posts is small, I do not think
that it matters too much. (Of course, having a translation would be
helpful, but we cannot demand such thing.)

Great! Just one question: can articles be shared in languages other than

No problem, Ihor. These days I had enough free time to develop my idea,
translate it into code and get something usable from which it could be
discussed. As I mentioned, the export to HTML and LaTeX is complete and
works fine, but I'll probably stop there for a long time. I mean, I
won't go any further and I will dedicate myself to continuing testing
the code already written and fixing possible bugs. Partly because I
don't have enough knowledge of odt to work on this backend, which would
be the next step.
Thanks for the info!

See https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#orgfd0d3cb
You can just share the link to your branch.
I am not sure if experimental branches can go directly to our savannah,
like what Emacs does.
Bastien, WDYT?
P.S. Juan, I will need some time to review previous discussions on
inline special blocks before I can comment on your work in depth.

Hi,
I've noticed that the code for my implementation of the new
'inline-special-block' experimental element is growing. In addition, I
introduce modifications and improvements daily. So I think it might be a
good idea to make my local branch public, in case someone wants to try
it or contribute to the project.
My question is if there is any set of good practices to do this, or is
it enough to publish the local branch 'as is'.
Currently I have completed, and are perfectly usable, the export to
LaTeX and HTML. I have also improved the syntax. Now, if aliases are
used for group optional attributes, it is not necessary to put :alias
foo, but @foo@. Example:
#+options: inline-special-block-aliases:(("latin" :lang "la" :color blue :prelatex "\\itshape " :html "style=\"font-style:italic;\""))
This is an example of Latin text: &_[@latin@]{lorem ipsum dolor sit amet}.
This is an example of Latin text with small caps: &_[@latin@ :smallcaps t]{lorem ipsum dolor sit amet}.
LaTeX ==>
This is an example of Latin text: {\color{blue}\foreignlanguage{latin}{\itshape lorem ipsum dolor sit amet}}.
This is an example of Latin text with small caps: {\scshape{}\color{blue}\foreignlanguage{latin}{\itshape lorem ipsum dolor sit amet}}
HTML ==>
This is an example of Latin text: <span style="color:blue;font-style:italic;" lang="la">lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</span>.
This is an example of Latin text with small caps: <span style="color:blue;font-variant:small-caps;font-style:italic;" lang="la">lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</span>.

This patch is for testing purposes only, although the implementation for
LaTeX backend is perfectly usable.
The basic syntax of the new element is:
&foo{lorem ipsum dolor}
=> LaTeX: \foo{lorem ipsum dolor}
Nested elements are possible, as well as the inclusion of other elements
such as macros, links or emphasis marks.
The element also supports a list of optional arguments. For the LaTeX
backend there are two specific arguments: :prelatex and :postlatex.
Example:
&foo[:prelatex [bar] :postlatex {baz}]{lorem ipsum dolor}
=> LaTeX: \foo[bar]{lorem ipsum dolor}{baz}
Additionally, there are a number of universal arguments that should be
equivalent between backends where it makes sense to use them (LaTeX,
HTML, odt...). At the moment you can use: :color, :lang and :smallcaps.
Example:
&foo[:color red :smallcaps t :lang french :prelatex [bar] :postlatex {baz}]{lorem ipsum dolor}
=> LaTeX: {\scshape{}\color{red}\foreignlanguage{french}{\foo[bar]{lorem ipsum dolor}{baz}}}
The element also has an anonymous variant that only accepts universal
arguments. If set without arguments it simply returns the content
string. Example:
&_[:color blue :lang italian]{lorem ipsum dolor}
=> LaTeX: {\color{blue}\foreignlanguage{italian}{lorem ipsum dolor}}
We can define in the document a list of aliases that group several arguments:
#+options: inline-special-block-aliases:(("myalias" :color "magenta" :lang "klingon") ("myalias2" :smallcaps t :color "blue" :prelatex "{2345}"))
&_[:alias myalias :smallcaps t]{lorem ipsum dolor}
=> LaTeX: {\scshape{}\color{magenta}\foreignlanguage{klingon}{lorem ipsum dolor}}
&foo[:alias myalias2]{lorem ipsum dolor}
=> LaTeX: {\scshape{}\color{blue}\foo{2345}{lorem ipsum dolor}}
There can only be one alias per element, but an alias can be combined
with other attributes. It is the closest thing to using styles,
and perhaps the most appropriate term would be ":style". But you can get
confused with the html "style" attribute.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Just to add some more ideas about parameters, I can also think of an
"anonymous" variant that only supports "universal" arguments, independent of
the backend and previously defined (and extensible by the user). For
example:
&_[:color red :smallcaps t :lang it :size small]{Lorem ipsum dolor}
Aliases could also be defined for a set of arguments:
#+OPTIONS: inlineblocks:(("myblock" :smallcaps t :color "red" :lang "fr"))
&_[:myblock t]{Lorem ipsum dolor} etc.
==> latex: {\color{red}\scshape\foreignlanguage{french}{Lorem ipsum dolor}}
Universal arguments can also be added to a normal block along with each
backend's own arguments:
&foo[:color red :prelatex [bar]]{lorem ipsum dolor}
==> latex: {\color{red}\foo[bar]{lorem ipsum dolor}}
and, of course, aliases could be combined with single arguments:
&foo[:myblock t :prelatex [bar]]{lorem ipsum dolor}

Why not &:lang{text} (and/or &:lang[options]{text}) instead? In fact,
it might help (in that it may reduce the need for escaping within the
"text") if the syntax was &:type{text} with "lang" being one of the
possible type (as opposed to the type being ":lang").

To expand a little more... Another problem I see in your example is
nesting. In my proposal, the blocks can be nested:
:fr{text in French and :it{text in Italian}}
But I would find this difficult to read:
$[lang :fr "text in French and $[lang :it "text in italian"]"]
On the other hand, the structure that I have chosen is in part inspired
by the inline code block, which is the only case of "inline block" that
we have in Org.

Juan Manuel

Thanks for your interesting comment. However, your example still seems
too verbose to me. There are two elements that, in my opinion, get in
the way: 'lang' and "bonjour" quotes. Imagine something like this for
emphasis (mutatis mutandis):
$[emphasis :italic "text in italic"]
instead of
/text in italic/.
That simplicity is what I intend to look for with this type of elements
inside the paragraph.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

at risk of being like a broken record [over many years]: i still like
cl lambda lists e.g. $[thing arg :kw value :kw value] or %(thing ...)
for allowing generality to basically all new syntax of most types,
extensibility, user-defined major ["thing"] and minor [":kw"] features
if desired to support, reduced parsing risk, ability to control
display and export and visibility and folding and other stuff like
locale or whatever, nestability, escaping/quoting, and familiar
defined syntax, all applicable to new features without having to
change anything. also, you won't have to look up how to use it much
when you use a new feature.
i'm not expressing this as well as i have in unpublished posts or
previous posts.
i might be in the minority, and it was once said that it is too
verbose. if so, i value desiderata like the above higher.
i feel org has proliferated different syntaxes and special cases a bit
too much. it's hard to have to look up what's needed, detect errors
manually etc. some of the more basic things are good with special
syntax, such as emphasis and \\. but we contend with invisible space,
variant quoting, ....
there is a school of thought that more types of syntax are usually
good; in most cases, i do not agree with that school of thought.
it's a bit like the old conflict between lisp vs. the original perl.
i never agreed with larry wall on arguments like [paraphrased,
possibly not correctly] "english is not orthogonal; lisp is, which is
bad; perl is not orthogonal; it shouldn't be because english isn't [or
perhaps for the [unspecified] reasons english isn't]". plenty of
human languages are orthogonal in places where english isn't, and i
believe they work well in those places because of, not in spite of,
that convenient orthogonality. you can know how to get the transitive
if you have the intransitve, for example. i say this despite being a
huge fan of english.
for language feature, there are various options here which range from e.g.
:fr{some text in French}
being expressed as
$[lang :fr "bonjour"]
which i think is pretty straightforward and not much more verbose,
to a more block style like this
$[lang :fr :start]
bonjour
$[lang :fr end]
and of course that "lang" can be replaced with any other new feature
we dream up, having nothing to do with languages. all the
meta-features like parsing, quoting, invisibility, folding,
nestability, extensibility will already have been worked out, and will
apply to new features and sub-features.

I am attaching a patch in case anyone wants to try this proposal. A
function for ox-latex is included.
Syntax:
&[optional parameters]{contents}
With this patch, something like &foo{lorem ipsum dolor} is exported to
LaTeX as \foo{lorem ipsum dolor}.
Blocks can be nested, e.g.: &foo{lorem ipsum &bar{dolor}}.
Regarding the "optional parameters", there is nothing defined, although
I think they should be adapted to each backend. A possible use that
occurs to me:
&foo[prelatex: [lorem] postlatex: {ipsum} html: style="color:red;"]{blah blah}
This should produce in LaTeX:
\foo[lorem]{blah blah}{ipsum}
and in HTML:
<span class="foo" style="color:red;">blah blah</span>
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

I imagine multiple arguments would depend on each backend, right?
Because I don't quite see much sense in html, for example. However, it
occurs to me to reuse content, and add some separator character:
&type[options]{arg1::arg2::etc}
or better:
&type[options and aditional args]{content}
to maintain a certain parallelism with the large blocks.

As I already said, in my local branch I have both elements created,
based on the same syntax:
- language block: :lang{text}
- special block &type{text}
the latter would be exported, for example, to html as <span class="type">text</span> or to LaTeX as \type{text}
I like the syntax because it is minimalist and not verbose at all. That
could serve as a basis (at least it is good to have a starting point,
because otherwise everything will be diluted in discussions). Then we
can start thinking about whether to add options and how to add them.

The wiki language is for a specific purpose, and I wouldn't consider it
a lightweight markup language, although it is certainly less thick than
html.
Actually I'm just expressing my concerns and doubts, I'm not objecting
to anything. I remember reading in the pandoc issues, a long time ago,
similar discussions every time they talked about extending the markup. I
don't know if it's a good idea to stick to a certain point to preserve
the nature of a lightweight markup language and accept certain intrinsic
limitations instead of providing options that probably have very little
use or can be resolved by some export filter. I don't have a definite
opinion, I'm just raising my doubts. Although I really value simplicity
and minimalism.

This is a good idea, although it would be better to make this new markup
element within the framework of more general inline special block we
discussed in the past: https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87a6b8pbhg.fsf@posteo.net/

My main point is that we should use the same syntax with inline special
blocks. Similar to how #+begin_verse uses the same syntax as special
blocks.
We need to finalize inline special block syntax first, and then talk
about special cases like inline language markup you propose.

I still believe that we should /allow/ options inside inline block-type
markup. This is often necessary in practice. For example, I recommend
studying
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext#Templates_and_transcluding_pages
and how they had to use ugly |... extensions to provide options.
But it does not mean that users /have to/ use these options. In fact, we
might design the inline language blocks to ignore options.

We do not need to design the inline special block markup fully to
introduce it. However, we do need to make sure that whatever simple
version of inline markup we introduce does not prevent further planned
extensions.
My main concern is the possibility to introduce multi-argument markup.
Like @abbrev{EA}{example abbreviation}. This will be necessary to
achieve parity with Texinfo markup.
However, it is not yet clear about the best syntax to pass multiple
arguments.

Fun fact: the local branch is called inline-special-block, because I
originally had that idea in mind when I created it. Then, halfway
through, I doubted whether it wouldn't be better to have a specific
inline language selector, whose use would be as direct as an emphasis
mark. So in the branch there is also a "proto"-inline-special-block with
similar syntax: &foo{}.
I opted for the -language-block version because, as I said, its use is
very 'direct' and covers a common need to segment multilingual text
within the paragraph.
I think at the time we also discussed whether or not it would be a good
idea to provide the inline special blocks with options and attributes,
like their older brothers. And how to do it. My biggest concern here is
the (let's say) latexification of the paragraph. I mean, one of the
great things about Org versus heavier markup like LaTeX is that when org
wants to be verbose it uses dedicated lines, but usually keeps the
paragraphs clean and readable. I think that any element inside the
paragraph should tend to be as "transparent" as simple emphasis marks.
I remember that there was also discussion about puting the options
outside the paragraph, using some type of identifier. It doesn't seem
like a bad idea to me, but I think it adds an extra complication for the
user. It would be very tedious for me to write like this (even more
tedious than writing in LaTeX).

Hi,
I'm dedicating a local branch to developing this proof of concept and
testing it in my workflow, so far with good results. The basic idea is
to provide Org with multilingual features and various methods for
selecting languages.
The inline-language-block is intended for small segments of text in a
language other than the main language. They can span several lines but
not more than a paragraph. They can be used for in-line textual quotes,
glosses, etc. They are constructions equivalent to, for example, LaTeX
\foreignlanguage{french}{text} or HTML <span lang=fr>text</span>.
I have thought of a syntax that is as least intrusive as possible, so as
not to make reading uncomfortable. I have tried the following:
:fr{some text in French} :it{some text in Italian} :la{some text in Latin}
You can also use a literal term instead of a language code:
:klingon!{some text in Klingon}
The blocks can be nested:
:klingon!{Some text in Klingon with :it{some text in Italian}}
And they may include other elements:
:el{Some text in Greek with a {{{macro}}} and a [[link]]}
To this end, I have defined the following element:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun org-element-inline-language-block-parser ()
"Parse inline language block at point.
When at an inline language block, return a new syntax node of
`inline-language-block' type containing `:begin', `:end',
`:type', `:contents-begin', `:contents-end' and `:post-blank' as
properties. Otherwise, return nil.
Assume point is at the beginning of the block."
(save-excursion
(when (looking-at ":\\([A-Za-z!]+\\){")
(goto-char (match-end 0))
(let* ((begin (match-beginning 0))
(contents-begin (match-end 0))
(type (org-element--get-cached-string
(match-string-no-properties 1)))
(contents-end
(progn
(goto-char (- contents-begin 1))
(org-element--parse-paired-brackets ?\{)
(- (point) 1)))
(post-blank (skip-chars-forward " \t"))
(end (point)))
(when contents-end
(org-element-create
'inline-language-block
(list :type type
:contents-begin contents-begin
:contents-end contents-end
:begin begin
:end end
:post-blank post-blank)))))))
(defun org-element-inline-language-block-interpreter (inline-language-block contents)
"Interpret INLINE LANGUAGE BLOCK object as Org syntax."
(format ":%s{%s}"
(org-element-property :type inline-language-block)
contents))
#+end_src
And, for now, this function for ox-latex:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

"Transcode an INLINE LANGUAGE BLOCK element from Org to LaTeX.

Hi, Luca. You may be interested in taking a look at this thread, where
this problem and other related issues such as fallback fonts in LaTeX
export are discussed:

In that case, I think this patch could be considered canceled.

You must load the babel package with the AUTO option:
#+language:it
#+LaTeX_Header: \usepackage[AUTO]{babel}
(see 'LaTeX header and sectioning structure' in the Org Manual)

org-create-formula-image inserts LaTeX code:
...
(with-temp-file texfile
(insert latex-header)
(insert "\n\\begin{document}\n"
"\\definecolor{fg}{rgb}{" fg "}%\n"
(if bg
(concat "\\definecolor{bg}{rgb}{" bg "}%\n"
"\n\\pagecolor{bg}%\n")
"")
"\n{\\color{fg}\n"
string
"\n}\n"
"\n\\end{document}\n"))
...
that, /in principle/, would make it incompatible with the :standalone
argument (in my patch), which allows writing all LaTeX code from scratch
in the block content.
Anyway, it is true that org-babel-execute:latex has grown in a somewhat
irregular way. For example, I don't quite understand why the simple
output to PDF and the conversion to an image with :imagemagick live in
the same conditional:
(or (string= "pdf" extension) imagemagick)
I would propose three main branches in this function:
- A PDF branch, using org-format-latex-header with its valid options,
and other sub-branches with conversion from the PDF, for example, the
use of :imagemagick. Or you could even think of any possible
conversion process using a hypothetical :pdf-postprocess
- A branch for orf-create-formula-image
- a third branch to export to html, with org-babel-latex-htlatex.
Having three clearly differentiated branches would make the code easier
to maintain.

What do you mean? `org-create-formula-image' is passed a string of LaTeX
code. Note that `org-create-formula-image' is also used in HTML export.

ob-latex does not have to expose all the possible toggles
`org-latex-pdf-process' has.

We can fix the parameters we do not want to expose.

My concern about your patch is that it creates even more divergence
between different branches of code in `org-babel-execute:latex'.
With the new proposed features only available to some code branches,
`org-babel-execute:latex' will just become more messy and harder to
maintain.
I'd prefer to refactor `org-babel-execute:latex' first, before adding
new header arguments.

What we are dealing with here is the keyword #+AUTHOR or the
EXPORT_AUTHOR property (when exporting a subtree), that is, the author
of the document (see 'Export settings' in the Org Manual), not the
AUTHOR property of org-ref. Your workflow is correct.

AFAIK, I'm afraid it's not possible. What is possible is to be able to
select a language in the middle of the document, without declaring it
before. But you need to load fontenc and the appropriate fontencodings.
According to the babel manual (p. 8), this functionality is only limited
to Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Cherokee, Armenian, and
Georgian.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

It is true that the "org-create-formula-image" method is much more
complete. But, IMHO, I think it's a method focused on the buffer (rather
than the block) or previewing LaTeX code in the buffer. In the case of
the LaTeX block, I think the :imagemagick method is simpler. It depends
on two simple processes: imagemagick and org-latex-pdf-process and
parameters such as the width or height of the generated image, the
density in dpi, etc. can be easily applied, via arguments. In the case
of the other method, in addition to the value of
org-preview-latex-default-process, there is that of
org-format-latex-options. There are, in short, many parameters that are
perfect for a file or an Emacs session but for a simple block I find
overhelming.
In any case, if the org-create-formula-image method is going to stay, I
think it is fine as it is (except for extending the allowed file formats
to more extensions, and not only .png). I also believe that the :process
argument is sufficient for the user to control the value of
org-latex-pdf-process or org-preview-latex-default-process, as
appropriate.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Probably something to do with my Texlive technically having Chinese
support.
I am getting
! Package inputenc Error: Unicode character 你 (U+4F60)
(inputenc) not set up for use with LaTeX.
See the inputenc package documentation for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.

I am not sure.
Conceptually, .png method is more flexible than imagemagick - it uses
`org-create-formula-image' that is handling (1) preamble; (2) conversion
not only to png but to svg and other arbitrary formats.
ob-latex is duplicating org-create-formula-image code, layering custom
latex preamble and more commands on top.
So, ideally, I'd prefer to obsolete the custom code in ob-latex and make
use of `org-create-formula-image', possibly extending it to fit ob-latex
needs.

The information is in the encguide PDF (you can run texdoc fontenc or
texdoc encguide). You should look especially at section 2.3 256 glyph
encodings. I don't know if some languages require more than one
encoding. Cyrillic appears to be T2A, T2B and T2C. T4 is for
"The African Latin fonts contain in their lower half (0–127) the same
characters as the European Latin (T1-encoded) Fonts, while in their
upper half (128–255) they contain letters and symbols for African
languages that use extended Latin alphabets."
etc.
But I can't find a simpler list anywhere.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

I have done the same, on a clean Emacs init. Warning appears.
And in *Messages*:
PDF file produced with warnings: [unicode character(s) not set up for use with pdflatex. You can run lualatex or xelatex instead]
In *Org PDF LaTeX Output*:
! LaTeX Error: Unicode character 你 (U+4F60)
not set up for use with LaTeX.
(this error is the one that passes as a warning in my patch when
compiled with pdfLaTeX).

Rationale for the attached patch: It seems that a common problem that
users have with exporting to LaTeX is unicode characters that cannot be
represented in pdfLaTeX or LuaLaTeX/XelaTeX. In the Unicode TeX engines
the warning is insidious, since the missing character warning is not
preceded by a 'warning' string.
Naturally, the added Org warnings do not solve the problem, but at least
they give some clues on how to properly adjust the document.

#+LATEX_COMPILER: xelatex
#+BEAMER_HEADER: \setmonofont{Fira Code}
Fira Code being the font for the terminal in which the histograms are

Do you compile your document with pdfLaTeX?
It looks like you're using a Unicode character (FULL BLOCK / #2588 /
descomp: █ #2588) that pdfLaTeX doesn't recognize. You would have to use
LuaTeX or XeTeX as a TeX engine. And load the fontspec package to manage
the ttf or otf fonts. Additionally, you must define a mono font that
contains that character, for example Ubuntu Mono. An example:
#+TITLE: Some title
#+AUTHOR: author
#+Beamer_Header:\usepackage{fontspec}
#+Beamer_Header:\setsansfont{Linux Biolinum O}
#+Beamer_Header:\setmonofont{Ubuntu Mono}
#+LATEX_CLASS: beamer
#+LATEX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [presentation]
#+BEAMER_THEME: Boadilla
#+COLUMNS: %45ITEM %10BEAMER_ENV(Env) %10BEAMER_ACT(Act) %4BEAMER_COL(Col)
Screenshot:
https://i.imgur.com/ulYxJgr.png
Bonus: To check which fonts on your system contain a certain character,
you can use the TeX live tool Albatross. E.g.:

Indeed. For that reason I changed the original name I gave from
":pdf-process" to simply ":process". IMHO this function has a tremendous
problem: two methods coexist to convert a PDF compiled with LaTeX to an
image: the method with :imagemagick and the method without :imagemagick,
although this can also use imagemagick, which in itself is a first mess.
I don't know if this state of affairs is clear to the user...
The method without :imagemagick, furthermore, is the only one that
depends on a different process (leaving aside the case of conversion to
html, where another process is used).
The method with :imagemagick is, like the rest, more "transparent" (it is
the one I use, and I think many users prefer it):
TeX file --> compilation --> PDF --> conversion --> image file
The method without :imagemagick, which depends on the value of
org-preview-latex-default-process could be schematized like this:
TeX file --> {compilation + PDF + conversion + params.} --> image file
That is, the compilation and conversion processes along with the
parameters are included in the same pack.

I think that can cause certain drawbacks. Suppose a user has dvipng
as the value of org-preview-latex-default-process. If he/she puts
":process '(luatex etc ...)"
he/she will not be able to create the image because dvipng has the
value of ":image-converter" as the dvipng program, which, to put it
briefly and without going into details, would not work well with LuaTeX.
It is the problem of the same pack that I mentioned before. That's why I
think the lesser evil would be to allow the user to control the
necessary parameters at will, if the output file is an image file and
":imagemagick" is not present. Anyway, see what I say below.

I agree. In any case, I still think that the coexistence of two methods
to convert to images, when one of the methods has a scheme so different
from the rest, becomes difficult: for the user as well as for
maintaining the code.
The first solution that occurs to me (I'm afraid it's too radical) is to
leave only the :imagemagick method, and maintain the possibility of
using the other one through a variable. Something like
org-babel-latex-default-image-conversion-method or something similar.
But I suppose this could cause unwanted inconveniences. We should see
what more users think.
Another possibility is to clarify the names a little more (for the user):
:image-conv [possible values: default, imagemagick (= :imagemagick yes)]

Got it.
Although, it is confusing to have different formats of :process
value depending on :file extension.
It would make things easier for users if
:results file :file foo.png :process '("lualatex -interaction nonstopmode
-output-directory %o %f")
worked as expected, automatically overriding :latex-compiler value in
let-bound `org-preview-latex-process-alist'.

I agree that it should be corrected.
Moreover, it would be nice to unify handling .png and imagemagick
branches of the code.

Pedro, the only problem I see with that is that it is an example of
LaTeX rather than Org. The only Org part here is #+LaTeX_header, and in
the entire section it's already made clear enough what it's used for.
Perhaps a brief reminder (the AUTO facility of the previous examples
is very limited) could be added first, and that if the users want to
obtain more complex, or more specific results (like the case you
exemplify for pdfLaTeX) they must put explicit LaTeX code, using
LaTeX_header. And then your example would come, but emphasizing that the
LaTeX documentation must be consulted. wdyt?
My point is that if we abuse examples of this type (at the expense of
"#+latex_header:something"), or "how is this done in LaTeX?", in the end
a LaTeX manual is made instead of Org.
I'm glad you enjoyed the jump to LuaTeX. :-)

Juan Manuel

I wouldn't equate it. ':imagemagic yes' uses 'org-latex-convert-pdf'.
Instead, «:process 'imagemagick» depends on:
(imagemagick :programs
("latex" "convert")
:description "pdf > png"
:message "you need to install the programs: latex and imagemagick."
:image-input-type "pdf"
:image-output-type "png"
:image-size-adjust (1.0 . 1.0)
:latex-compiler ("pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f")
:image-converter ("convert -density %D -trim -antialias %f -quality 100 %O"))
Also, one may want to put «:imagemagick yes» and compile the PDF
with another compiler or with a custom script:
:imagemagick yes :process '(...)
> Also, it feels incomplete to be able to define latex command for :file
> foo.pdf, but be limited to a pre-defined list of symbols for :file .png.
The ".png" method without ":imagemagick" does not depend on
'org-latex-pdf-process' but on 'org-create-formula-image', and this in turn
depends on the value of 'org-preview-latex-default-process':
...
((and (string-suffix-p ".png" out-file) (not imagemagick))
(let ((org-format-latex-header
(concat org-format-latex-header "\n"
(mapconcat #'identity headers "\n"))))
(org-create-formula-image
body out-file org-format-latex-options in-buffer)))
...
If you put :file foo.png without :imagemagick, and want to control the
process or change the compiler, you can do it with:
:process '(foo :latex-compiler ("some LaTeX command"))
since this syntax is what org-preview-latex-default-process expects.
In all other cases, including :imagemagick, the compilation process
depends on the value of org-latex-pdf-process.
Anyway, I don't understand why that feature option (convert to an image
without :imagemagick method) is limited to .png, when other graphic files are
possible. I can define something like this:
(setq org-preview-latex-default-process
'(my-process
:programs ("lualatex" "convert")
:description "pdf > jpg"
:image-input-type "pdf"
:image-output-type "jpg"
:latex-compiler ("lualatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f")
:image-converter ("convert -density %D -trim -antialias %f -quality 100 %O")))
But if I put :file foo.jpg nothing happens. Maybe that part should be
corrected... Something like (string-match-p "\\.png\\|\\.jpg\\|..." out-file)?

Juan Manuel

Considering that 'imagemagick is one of the variants in
`org-preview-latex-process-alist', it might be reasonable to allow
:process imagemagick == :imagemagick yes
Also, it feels incomplete to be able to define latex command for :file
foo.pdf, but be limited to a pre-defined list of symbols for :file .png.

Subject: [PATCH] lisp/ob-latex.el: Add two new header args to LaTeX block.
* (org-babel-execute:latex): `:process' allows modifying the value of
`org-latex-pdf-process' or `org-preview-latex-default-process' in a
specific block. If only the `png' extension is provided (without the
`:imagemagick' argument), then the expected value is for
`org-preview-latex-default-process'. In all other cases, the value is
for `org-latex-pdf-process'. This argument has no effect if the
conversion is to `HTML'. The `:standalone' argument requires that
the LaTeX block contains all the code necessary to be compiled, as if
it were an autonomous LaTeX document: the expected result will always
be a PDF file.

It would be ideal. The expected value for org-latex-pdf-process is a
command or a list of commands, but org-preview-latex-default-process
expects a plist of various processes and parameters. Maybe with some
conditional? If only the png extension is provided (without the
:imagemagick argument), then the expected value is for
org-preview-latex-default-process. In all other cases, the value is for
org-latex-pdf-process. The argument could then be called simply
:process. E.g.:
Assuming the user has somewhere (add-to-list
org-preview-latex-process-alist my-process):
:results file :file foo.png :process 'my-process [or :process '(a plist)]
In other cases, like this:
:imagemagick yes :results file :file foo.png :process '("lualatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f")

Sure! `:pdf-process' simply applies a local value to
org-latex-pdf-process. It does not affect the export to png in its
version without imagemagick process, since this option depends on
org-create-formula-image, which in turn depends on
org-preview-latex-default-process. It also does not affect the export to
html, which depends on org-babel-latex-htlatex. It should work in all
other cases, including imagemagick, which ultimately depend on
org-latex-pdf-process.
As for `:full-to-pdf' (I don't know if standalone-to-pdf would be a
better name), the expected result is a pdf file. Therefore it is
incompatible with exporting to png, svg or conversion with imagemagick.
For it to work, it is enough to provide these 2 args: ":file foo.pdf
:full-to-pdf yes."

Thanks!
May you please explain in more detail how these new header arguments fit
into other available LaTeX code block parameters? In particular, when
exporting to .png/.svg/.html or when :imagemagick header argument is provided.

The attached patch adds two new header args to the LaTeX block:
- `:pdf-process' allows modifying the value of `org-latex-pdf-process'
locally to the block. This can be useful for evaluating a given block
with another LaTeX compiler, or even using some custom script.
Example:
#+begin_src latex :pdf-process '("lualatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f")
\textbf{hello world}
#+end_src
- `:full-to-pdf' makes the block like a standalone LaTeX document, which
should contain everything needed to be compiled, from \documentclass{}
to \end{document}. Example:
#+begin_src latex :full-to-pdf yes
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\textbf{hello world}
\end{document}
#+end_src
I think both arguments can have many practical uses. For example, to
compile separately and load multiple subdocuments, with different
preambles:
#+NAME: doc1
#+begin_src org :exports none :results latex
,#+include: some-document.org
#+end_src
#+begin_src latex :noweb yes :results silent file :file file.pdf :full-to-pdf yes
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Vollkorn}
\begin{document}
<<doc1()>>
\end{document}
#+end_src
#+latex: \includepdf{file.pdf}
Or even to evaluate ConTeXt code within a LaTeX block:
#+begin_src latex :full-to-pdf yes :results raw file :file file.pdf :pdf-process '("cd %o && context %f")
\starttext
\startsection[title={Testing ConTeXt}]
Lorem ipsum dolor.
\stopsection
\stoptext
#+end_src

Juan Manuel

Subject: [PATCH] lisp/ob-latex.el: Add two new header args to LaTeX block.
* (org-babel-execute:latex): `:pdf-process' allows modifying the value
of `org-latex-pdf-process' in a specific block. The `:full-to-pdf'
argument requires that the LaTeX block contains all the code necessary
to be compiled, as if it were an autonomous LaTeX document: the
expected result will always be a PDF file.

Thanks for the pointers. Note that in this use case I don't need to
search in the PDF file itself but in the pdf-annot-list-mode buffer that
is created via pdf-annot-list-annotations. This buffer is synchronized
with the PDF to which it is linked. What this link type does is visit
the pdf file (with pdf-tools), create the list of annotations and jump
to the specific annotation, by date.
pdf-annot-list-display-annotation-from-id highlights the specific list
annotation in the linked PDF (if necessary, moves to the corresponding
page), and opens the content of the annotation in another window
(interactively the function is executed by pressing SPC on the
annotation list at point). Storing the annotation date seemed like the
safest option to me, since the annotation id can change when adding new
annotations, each time the list is created. The typical scenario: when I
am consulting a PDF annotated by someone and I want to store the
location of some specific annotations. As there can be many annotations
per page, adding a simple bookmark to the page would not be enough
either.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

You may also utilize `org-create-file-search-functions' and

Hi,
Many times I need to "save" an annotation point in the pdf-tools
annotations buffer. So I defined a new link type and the function to
store it. The link is stored with the structure:
[[pdf-annot:/path/to/file.pdf::annotation-date][file-name.pdf (annot. on p. page-number)]]
The link opens the PDF and jumps to the specific annotation. A screenshot:
https://i.imgur.com/hw96NfD.png
I share the code here in case it is useful to someone:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun my-org-pdf-annot-store-link ()
(when (equal (format "%s" major-mode) "pdf-annot-list-mode")
(let* ((pdf-buf pdf-annot-list-document-buffer)

I like both ideas. If I had to choose, perhaps I would prefer Ihor's
approach since it separates the formatting value and the metadata value
using simple keywords. I understand that in the former you could add any
direct format (LaTeX, odt, html...), macros and even footnotes. And if
the former is not explicitly included in the document, then the latter
is used to populate both the formatting value and the metadata value.
Anyway, I think your approach would work very well for more complex pdf
metadata like xmp. Maybe using the hyperxmp package, which you mentioned
in a thread months ago?
Maybe something like this:
#+latex_xmp
...
#+end
?

Another option is to have a new set of keywords:
#+LATEX_AUTHOR: <author with formatting goes here>
#+HTML_AUTHOR: ...
For multiple authors, we may introduce something like
#+AUTHOR: John Doe
#+AUTHOR+: Luke Skywalker
That should be fully backwards-compatible.

Thanks for the explanation. I've never made documents with more than one
author, so I've never thought about this scenario. For a moment I
thought org supported more than one author (explicitly, I mean).
Anyway, \and is just a formatting command: add a space between two
authors. Some people may prefer to put a line break \\ or anything else.
Of course, \and (and any other format command) will have a negative
effect on the pdfauthor metadata, which only collects text strings. It
is a similar problem to the one with footnotes, which Maxim commented
on. I think the basic problem is that org uses #+author, #+title, etc.
as a single source for both the metadata strings and the exported
format, i.e. the title, the author, the date that is printed somewhere.
Perhaps the ideal would be to distinguish in some way between
author-metadata and author-exported-format. For example something like:
#+AUTHOR[John Doe and Luke Skywalker]: John Doe @@latex:\and@@ Luke
Skywalker
The optional string in square brackets would be the metadata; the rest
would be the direct exported format. If there is no optional string, the
value is used for both metadata and format. Could this be also a
possible solution to the footnote problem?
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

You can do
#+AUTHOR: Fred
#+AUTHOR: Astaire
#+AUTHOR: and Ginger
#+AUTHOR: Rogers
The values are simply concatenated before passing to the exporter.
Can we concatenate with "\and"? Sure. But not by default or it would be
a breaking change.
In fact, you can already concatenate with "\and" when exporting
subtrees:
(push '("EXPORT_AUTHOR" . "\\and ") org-property-separators)
then

What if you have multiple authors?
If you mean
#+AUTHOR: author1
#+FN_AUTHOR: footnote for author 1
#+AUTHOR: author2
#+FN_AUTHOR: footnote for author 2
, it is actually problematic because the code concatenates the values of
#+AUTHOR keywords before processing, and it is hard to know which author
corresponds to which footnote.
If we really need something safe, pre-processing values in ox.el and
producing backward-compatible :author value and addition
:author-w-footnotes value in the export INFO plist would be more
reasonable and less ugly. Still ugly though.

Hi,
I’m just trying to cover the “legacy” latex.
I’ve finally migrated to lualatex for my stuff, and it has really been worthwhile. But who knows what a conference might want me to use ;-P
Differentiating between pdflatex and lualatex was what my last patch was for.
I also sent a PoC for the fontenc stuff a couple of weeks ago. And I was trying to continue this work and collect info needed for handling fontenc when you need pdflatex as your latex compiler.

I think Pedro is referring to fontenc not fontspec. fontenc cannot be
used in either lualatex or XelaTeX. fontspec is for advanced selection
of truetype and opentype fonts in XeLatex and LuaLaTeX and setting
opentype properties. fontenc is for 'pre-Unicode' LaTeX font encoding. I
would say that what Pedro proposes is limited only to the output in
pdfTeX.

For reference -- I do not know if this prompted the discussion here --
just a few days ago I asked about footnotes in author information
because such footnotes are just so common in the field I write in. They
are used to give a short description of the author's position usually
("XY is a researcher at the chair of Foo Bar..."). Since in my field I
have to submit DOCX to journals, such footnotes should be properly
exported by ox-odt in particular.
Here is the thread over at emacs-humanities:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-humanities/2024-01/msg00000.html
It includes an ugly workaround I applied in form of an advice. A proper
solution directly in org would of course be much preferable.
I like the dedicated keyword solution. This way third party backends
will probably ignore the new keywords, because for them they will look
like a comment.

How about using dedicated keywords? Something like:
#+FN_AUTHOR: footnote text
#+FN_TITLE: footnote text
I give these two examples because they are the two places where a
footnote of this type is expected. I know: it's ugly and corseted (what
to do if a title has more than one footnote or an "inner" footnote?).
But I suppose it would be safe for a basic case, since it would only be
necessary to modify org-latex-template, org-odt-template, etc., without
risk of unexpected results.

I am currently responsible for the production of five academic journals,
and I have ended up developing a fairly productive workflow using
org/luatex. A little background on the matter: in my editorial design
work I used to work only in (La)TeX, but I discovered that org can
function as a fairly competent high-level interface to LaTeX. One of the
main advantages is the clarity that a light markup language brings to
the content, since pure LaTeX code is cumbersome. I know LaTeX code
reasonably well (in fact, I'm working on a couple of packages for
LuaLaTeX), but it's not comfortable for me to work on content.
Naturally, for heavy and complex jobs, post-processing is always
necessary. Org is still very useful as it is not only a lightweight
markup language but also a set of tools. And, loosely speaking, a work
environment on Emacs (which in itself is a work environment).
The main challenge of this workflow is obtaining the content, the data,
from the Word documents that the authors deliver, since, unfortunately,
everyone uses Word. Pandoc does a good job, as long as the Word
documents arrive reasonably well structured. Unfortunately, this is not
the case, at least in Humanities. Word documents usually have the
following defects:
- abuse of direct format;
- absence of applied styles, therefore it is impossible to obtain a
hierarchical outline of the document;
- absence of an automated system of bibliographies and citations.
Humanities authors don't even use "friendly" things like Zotero. That
is, Humanities authors make citations and bibliographies by hand (!!),
which means multiplying inconsistencies and typos.
Therefore, it is necessary to subject the original Word documents to a
cleaning process. Then I run pandoc using some templates and some custom
lua filters.
The journal is basically an org-publish project, where only the articles
and other parts are exported to *.tex files. There is a master document
that I export and compile using a function that runs latexmk in
interactive mode. This way I have more control over the parts, I can
deactivate nodes, etc. Each node, therefore, is an article, with a
series of properties: author, email, orcid-id, doi, title in English,
etc. In a sty document created ad hoc I have defined a series of LaTeX
variables, and then incorporated them into each heading. E.g.:
#+begin_src latex
\def\@author{}
\newcommand\author[1]{\def\@author{#1}}
\def\@mail{}
\newcommand\mail[1]{\def\@mail{#1}}
\def\@doi{}
\newcommand\doi[1]{\def\@doi{DOI: #1}}
etc...
#+end_src
I use org-capture to populate the nodes in the master document with all
that information.

The boxes are made with the mdframed package, which is very versatile for this type of
objets. The code used:
#+begin_src latex
\usepackage[framemethod=tikz,everyline=true]{mdframed}
#+end_src
A box style:
#+begin_src latex
\colorlet{background}{gray!7}
\mdfdefinestyle{mdabstracts}{%
linewidth=.3pt,
topline = true,
leftline =true,
rightline = true,
bottomline = true,
skipabove=0pt,
skipbelow=2\bigskipamount,
leftmargin=0em,
backgroundcolor=background,
roundcorner = 5pt,
innerleftmargin=1.5em,
rightmargin=0em,
innerrightmargin=1.5em,
innertopmargin=1em,
splittopskip=\topskip,
innerbottommargin=1em,
}
#+end_src
And an environment:
#+begin_src latex
\newmdenv[style=mdabstracts]{abstracts}
#+end_src
As for tables, I always try to apply the ideas of Edward Tufte. I use the booktabs package
with some modifications. An example of a table:
https://i.imgur.com/70NtdGb.png
Here I use these two macros:
#+macro: cmd @@latex:\cmidrule(rl){$1}@@
#+macro: mc @@latex:\multicolumn{$1}{$2}{$3}@@
And this filter for multicolumn rows (simply, the cells that contain "!!" are removed:
#+BIND: org-export-filter-table-functions (my-multicolumn-filter)
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports results :results none
(defun my-multicolumn-flilter (texto backend info)
(when (org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'latex)
(replace-regexp-in-string "&\s+!!" "" texto)))
#+end_src

Fantastic work! Congratulations. Open scholarship in every sense of the word. I'd love to see how you handled the publishing of such a complex project. (And what citation style is used by that journal?)

That sounds very interesting! I’m writing roleplaying books and my
website with org-mode and since there are many small pieces I found over
the years, I expect that the solved problems for a journal will be very
educational!

I completely agree. I think it would be a great improvement, since, as
Colin Baxter says, in academic articles it is a very common practice to
add foot notes to the title of the article or the name of the author.
As for the \thanks{} command, org exports the keyword #+email within a
\thanks{} command as '\author{Name\thanks{email}}0. I don't think two
\thanks macros collide within author (assuming the user adds the email
and puts a footnote in #+author. Anyway, I think the most common thing
is to put the email below the author's name, not as a footnote, but that
is another topic and also depends on the style of each publication,
journal, etc.

I don't have much idea about odt, but I think the problem comes from a
type of nesting that is not allowed in the odt xml. I think org exports
#+author inside the initial-creator tag:
(format "<meta:initial-creator>%s</meta:initial-creator>\n" author)
And within that tag the code for a footnote produces an error when
opening the document. If the footnote is placed right after
</meta:initial-creator>, there would be no problem.

Juan Manuel

Hmm.
The reason footnotes are not allowed in #+title and other keywords is
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git/commit/?id=7ebe87e2d5fb6c
Inserting footnote references in parsed keywords (e.g., TITLE or
CAPTION) can lead to subtle bugs. Indeed, it is impossible to know in
time if that particular footnote is going to be used in the output,
and, therefore, if it should count, e.g., in
`org-export-get-footnote-number'.
However, I am not sure about that line of reasoning - we generally don't
know if *any* given footnote reference is going to be used in the output
or not because export backend may skip references or whole parts of the
original Org file. Same for user filters.
So, I am leaning towards reverting that commit - that will allow things
like
#+TITLE: This is a test title[fn::This is test]
If we need special handling for footnotes in title (like using \thanks
instead of \footnote), it is easy.

No idea about how to do it in ODT. If someone familiar with OpenDocument

Notes on article titles (and even on the author name) are a slightly
different case from notes on section titles. In LaTeX there is the
"\thanks" command, which inserts footnotes for title and author,
numbered with fnsymbol. For example:
...
\title{Lorem ipsum dolor\thanks{blah blah}}
...
Org does not have support for this type of notes in the #+title or
#+author keywords. For LaTeX you can use a macro. For backends like odt
it is trickier. Look at this thread:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-humanities/2024-01/msg00000.html
I think it would be nice if Org had some kind of support for notes in
#+title and #+author...

Indeed, but many journals *require* footnotes in titles, especially for
affiliation, email, etc.

ox-latex has 'org-latex--delayed-footnotes-definitions': "[...] This
function is used within constructs that don't support \footnote{}
command (e.g., an item tag). In that case, \footnotemark is used within
the construct and the function just outside of it."
The \footnotetext/\footnotemark option works well for specific cases,
but in general I don't like to abuse this method.
> Perhaps it is better to avoid footnotes in titles and to add some

That is the ideal scenario. I also believe that footnotes should be
avoided in section headings, if possible. Or at least, have another type
of numbering (symbols, letters...). The manyfoot and bigfoot packages
allow constructions of this type, with various footnote apparatus.

Hi,
Attached is a _proof of concept_ for supporting AUTO in
\usepackage{fontenc}. Just an idea of how things could evolve.
This only uses a variable you can define as directory or file local to
control what is generated in the LaTeX file.
Could be expanded in the future to check #+language:

I would give an example that did include the AUTO 'facility', to unify
with the rest of the examples in the section:
#+language: es
#+latex_header: \usepackage[greek,ngerman,AUTO]{babel}
#+latex_header: \usepackage{alphabeta} % to support greek script
It is also said in the patch that this example is for pdfTeX, but it
works equally well for LuaTeX and XeTeX, since Babel and alphabeta
packages support both engines. However, the alphabeta package is not a
specific package for writing texts in Greek. Rather, according to the
package documentation: "The alphabeta package makes the standard macros
for Greek letters in mathematical mode also available in text mode." In
pdfTeX it is useful because you can enter the Greek input directly in
Unicode. But in LuaTeX or XeTeX it would be unnecessary, since Greek can
be written directly, without the help of additional packages.

My knowledge of LaTeX (and Elisp) has huge gaps :-). Of course, I am
willing to learn everything I can. And, naturally, I would like to help
in any way I can. But my main problem (currently) is the lack of time to
dedicate myself to it. My presence on this list is intermittent, and
that for a maintainer is horrible. Maybe in a few months (spring
perhaps), when my personal situation stabilizes a little, I could
consider it...

For scripts other than Latin it is highly recommended to use the 'new'
Unicode versions of TeX, XeTeX or LuaTeX, especially the latter, since
it is the natural replacement for pdfTeX. The input is Unicode and you
can easily use true type or opentype fonts via the fontspec package.
Babel already has full support for these engines and it is not necessary
to use polyglossia. Even with Babel you can associate fonts with certain
scripts such as Greek, Cyrillic, Devanagari, etc. Look at this example I
made with several scripts and several fonts:
https://i.imgur.com/56P6U0R.png
I'm currently working on Org having multilingual font and script support
in LaTeX export with LuaTeX and babel. Although now I have put it on
hold due to lack of time :-). And Ihor is working on a much more
flexible language naming system. These are issues that were discussed,
among others, in this thread:
https://list.orgmode.org/878r9t7x7y.fsf@posteo.net/
Regarding your patch example, is there any special reason for you to
load the languages in the class options? It's perfectly valid, although,
as I said, it's not supported by org's AUTO facility (at the moment). I
understand that it is useful when the document is monolingual, but for
more than one language I find it unnecessary and, in addition to loading the
options with \PassOptionsToPackage.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

HI Juan Manuel,
you are absolutely right. There are many things that should improve in the
LaTeX exporter and simplifying language treatment is one of them. What I
show in my example is how to circumvent all the limitations in the exporter
and give a working example for people who need it.
Adding AUTO to latex_class_options would be extremely helpful, since then
you can load babel indicating the main language only and even avoid the
PassOptions and can live with \usepackage{alphabeta} only.
This is a MWE for mixing German and Greek which I use to compare with what
org-mode generates:
---cut---
\documentclass[greek,ngerman]{scrartcl}
%% \documentclass[greek,ngerman]{scrreprt}
%% \documentclass[greek,ngerman]{scrbook}
%% \documentclass[greek,ngerman]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
%% \PassOptionsToPackage{main=ngerman}{babel}
\usepackage{alphabeta}
\begin{document}
Ach, unsere Freunde die Griechen: \textgreek{νους} (mit
\verb|\textgreek{}|).\par
Ach, unsere Freunde die Griechen: νους (direkt im Text).
\end{document}
---cut---
The commented document classes are all I had the time to test.
Best, /PA

LaTeX code generated without org-latex-line-break-safe is much cleaner.
The decision to make this variable obsolete seems correct to me, if
there is already a better and more discreet solution. I don't know if it
will cause many problems with custom settings and filters written in
relation to this variable, as Maxim commented in a previous email... I
hope not. I have a couple of filters written already, but I don't think
it will take much work for me to readjust them.

I think this example doesn't take advantage of the AUTO facility, which
is what the section is about. Btw, maybe it would be nice to extend ''AUTO'' to
latex_class_options and \PassOptionsToPackage? Something like:
#+latex_class_options: [greek,AUTO,oneside]
#+language: es
...
However, I would only find the \PassOptionsToPackage command useful in
classes that already load babel with a main language. From Org, using
just pdfTeX, I think it would be simpler:
#+language: es
#+latex_header: \usepackage[greek,AUTO]{babel}
#+latex_header: \usepackage{alphabeta} % to support greek script
or this variant, using babelprovide and an INI file:

Upon looking closer into selective removal, it turned out to be more
tricky than I thought. I'm afraid that using \\[0pt] only in some places
may become a bit of headache to maintain - we may accidentally break
certain regexp replacements in `org-latex-verse-block'. In particular,
when verse contents is not straightforward and uses \\[0pt].
Given that `org-latex-line-break-safe' also introduced the problem with
verse blocks, I decided that it is better to remove it at the end.
See the attached tentative patchset.

An option might be disabling it by default without removing the code
completely. Depending on user feedback it may be removed later.
Users, who need to submit LaTeX code, consider [0pt] as undesired noise.
I see their point of view.

It's a complicated situation, because we now have two solutions to the
same problem... It certainly sounds a bit abrupt to remove
org-latex-line-break-safe (at least for now). I see no problem in both
solutions coexisting. After all, the user can always give an "\\\\"
value to org-latex-line-break-safe. The other possibility is that
org-latex-line-break-safe is selectively deleted, as you mentioned in a
previous email. In tables and verse blocks, unless I'm missing
something, I think adding [0pt] would be unnecessary, with the new
solution.
> For verse blocks, AFAIU, even \\ is problematic. (Correct me if I am wrong)
From the tests I have done, the problem of the vertical space being
altered after the verse environment only appears when the last line ends
in \\[0pt]. If it ends in \\ the problem does not appear. It is not
recommended that a verse environment ends in \\, but it does not seem to
influence the output. In fact, that was how it was in Org in the days
pre org-latex-line-break-safe and there were never any problems.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Although I am still a bit hesitant to remove
`org-latex-line-break-safe'.
What would be the benefit of removing it? For now, I mostly just see
that it will make the life harder for users in Scenario B.
For verse blocks, AFAIU, even \\ is problematic. (Correct me if I am wrong)

I think we do not do this in any of the examples for :export link

What I mean is that literal LaTeX code is LaTeX code, despite the
redundancy. IMHO, Org's only duty in that case is to export such literal
code as valid LaTeX code, but Org "does not know" what that literal code
consists of. The user who enters the literal LaTeX code is the one who
has the duty to add the necessary elements to that code so that it is
compiled correctly by LaTeX. Let's look at this as a territorial
question:
Scenario A:
@@LaTeX:\libebreak@@ [ipsum] ==> the problem is in Org territory
Scenario B:
lorem\\ @@latex:[ipsum]@@ ==> the problem is in the user's territory
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Not really. Because we do not give guarantees about the details of LaTeX
export, we should try hard to not break things that users may put into
literal export snippets.

In the example with @@latex:[foo]@@, \\ is not at the end of a paragraph
- it is inside paragraph.
Another alternative could be modifying how inline latex snippet is
exported, but that's worse IMHO - we should try hard not to touch what
users tell Org to do explicitly.

But since in both cases it is literal LaTeX code, the correct thing
would be for the user to be in charge of adding the curly braces to the
square brackets. I mean in such scenario it is LaTeX code, not Org.
Anyway, in both examples it does not make sense for LaTeX to end a
paragraph with the \\ macro, which is why we commented in previous
messages in the thread. The \\ macro is only used in horizontal mode;
this macro does not add a new paragraph but rather a forced line break
within the paragraph.

Juan Manuel

It is still useful in situations like
Paragraph\\
#+begin_export latex
[foo]
#+end_export
or
Paragraph\\
@@latex:[foo]@@
My patch does not do anything about verbatim environments.
We may remove the use of `org-latex-line-break-safe' from some places,
but not all.

I would suggest to strip leading and trailing newlines before processing

I agree with the note. Perhaps both strategies could coexist: by
default, Ihor's code; and org-latex-line-break-safe with value "\\\\".
And, after some time, the latter could become obsolete, unless a new
''raison d'etre'' is found for it...
In any case, I would no longer see it necessary to modify
org-latex-verse-block anymore.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Great! Simple and effective. And more surgical than pandoc's global
solution. But now a question arises... Your code clearly solves the
problem that led to the declaration of org-latex-line-break-safe,
without foreseeing any unwanted effects, since it is the solution that
is usually recommended from LaTeX. So, if this code is included in Org,
what is the future of org-latex-line-break-safe?
Best regards,
Juan Manuel
