Is there a function which aligns tags in an org document?
As I could not find on, I tried it with a slightly changed function from
ledger.el:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun org-align (&optional column)
(interactive "p")
(if (= column 1)
(setq column 95))
(while (search-forward ":" nil t)
(backward-char)
(let ((col (current-column))
(beg (point))
target-col len)
(skip-chars-forward "-:a-zA-z")
(setq len (- (point) beg))
(setq target-col (- column len))
(if (< col target-col)
(progn
(goto-char beg)
(insert (make-string (- target-col col) ? )))
(move-to-column target-col)
(if (looking-back " ")
(delete-char (- col target-col))
(skip-chars-forward "^ \t")
(delete-horizontal-space)
(insert " ")))
(forward-line))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
It only works half because numbers are also skipped forward.

As far as I see it does what I want, but it an inconsistent way. I don't understand it. Expample: ** <2008-10-18 Sa>This is what I do at that date :holiday: ** TODO And here what I have to do on an other :schreiben: The variable org-tags-column is set to -90. And when I set the cursor behind any tag I get as resulting column 90. henry ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

They are not in the mail message, but I suspect that's a tab handling problem in the almost infinite chain from your org file to my inbox, and not an org-mode problem. If they *are* flush right, then I think everything is as it should be, no? The documentation for the variable you mention says: The column to which tags should be indented in a headline. If this number is positive, it specifies the column. If it is negative, it means that the tags should be flushright to that column. For example, -80 works well for a normal 80 character screen. That's exactly what I get: when I set it to -90, they are flush right ending at column 90; when I set it to 90, they are flush left starting at column 90. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

No, they aren't aligned flush right, the above example looks exactly like the according part of an org file - I did not copy/paste it. > If they *are* flush right, then I think everything is as it should be, no?

Same here, the tags end or start at column 90, but it *looks* inconsistent. If I put the cursor behind `:holiday:' the column number is 90, and if I put it behind `:schreiben:' it's 90, too. If you look at the above example you wouldn't expect this. henry ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Aah, and the culprit is: #+STARTUP: customtime I was experimenting with in-buffer settings, this one caused the tag display inconsistency. Now, that I have removed it, everything works as it should.
