org-notify: can't define an org-notify-add

[Alain.Cochard]

Sorry I am posting this message again: I made a mistake and it
appeared within an unrelated thread (perhaps it is possible to remove
it from there?)

Hello.

If I have in my emacs init file the following org-notify setup, as
specified by the org-notify doc (if I understand it correctly):

   (require 'org-notify)
   (org-notify-add 'my-appt '(:time "1h" :actions -message
								   :period "30s" :duration 20))
   (org-notify-start)

and in my todo.org file:

   * TODO test agenda 
     DEADLINE: <2015-05-21 Thu 17:55>
     :PROPERTIES:
     :notify:   my-appt
     :END:      

the behavior I get is the one defined as the default in the
org-notify.el file:

	;;; Provide a minimal default setup.
	(org-notify-add 'default '(:time "1h" :actions -notify/window
					 :period "2m" :duration 60))

I can override this default in my init file, i.e., replacing
"org-notify-add 'my-appt" above by "org-notify-add 'default", and I
then get "my" default behavior.

So as far as I can see, everything behaves as if I did not use the
proper syntax for the :PROPERTIES: block (consistently, if I alter it
or remove it completely, I still get the default behavior).

Am I doing something trivially wrong?  Any idea how I could debug
this?  (I have no relevant message in the *Messages* buffer.)

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

It seems, that the Org Mode developers have not yet applied this patch:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/73647

As workaround, you can apply it on your local file.
I'll send the patch again.

How to elegantly and effectively quote org fragments?

[Alain.Cochard]

Hello.

So far, the main motivation for me is to be able to insert into an org
file some org fragments found on the Internet, without their
interacting with the org file.

Sorry if these are easy questions -- I did spend time with the manual,
the FAQ, the list archive, and the web.  The best I found is to use an
org SRC block, but I do not find it satisfactory.  Plus I cannot even
have it work properly.

(1) Say I have have this in my org file (star in 1st column):

	* a regular headline: writing org examples 

	  #+BEGIN_SRC org
		,* a headline only for the example
		,** a subheadline
		text
	  #+END_SRC

Is it the best that one can do to quote some org code?  Since I use
(org-startup-indented t), I would expect to have the corresponding
indentation.  Also, if not possible to avoid the escaping commas, I
would like to at least have them for each line, not only for the
headlines.  So I would like something like this:

	* a regular headline: writing org examples 

	  #+BEGIN_SRC org
	   ,* a headline only for the example
	   ,  * a subheadline
	   ,    text
	  #+END_SRC

Is (some of) this at all doable?

(2) Now, if in the org edit buffer I do 'C-c C-d' (org-deadline),
insert a DEADLINE:, and go back to my org file, the block now looks
like:

	  #+BEGIN_SRC org
		,* a headline only for the example
		,** a subheadline
		DEADLINE: <2015-05-21 Thu>
		text
	  #+END_SRC

If I do 'M-x org-agenda RET a', I get the following line in the Org
agenda buffer:

    todo:       Deadline:   a regular headline: writing org examples

Is this normal?  Since the deadline is part of the block, I would
expect no entry in the agenda; I tried to escape the DEADLINE with a
comma, but it does not change anything.  So, is there a way to *quote*
a DEADLINE:, i.e., without having an associated entry in the agenda?

Thank you for your help.
