Inline tasks and latex export

Inline tasks and latex export

[Christopher Witte]

Hi all,

I've been trying to get inline tasks to work with the todonotes 
package.  I found some information on getting the \todo{} command to 
work but I couldn't find any info on getting the \missingfigure{} 
command to work.  Here is the solution that I came up with (mostly 
stolen from org-inlinetask.el):

Add the follow 3 lines to the start of the document:
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{todonotes}
#+TODO: TODO | DONE
#+TODO: MISSINGFIGURE | FIGUREDONE

and put this in your .emacs file
;; This should give better export of inline tasks to latex
;; #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{todonotes} at the start of the org file
(setq org-inlinetask-export-templates (cons '(latex "%s %s}%s}"
                             '((if (equal todo "MISSINGFIGURE")
                               (eval "\\missingfigure{")
                             (if (equal todo "") (eval 
"\\todo[inline]{\\textbf{") (format 
"\\todo[inline]{\\textbf{\\textsc\{%s}" todo))
                             )
                             heading content))
                         org-inlinetask-export-templates))

It works but seeing that I'm not very good with elisp, I suspect it 
could be improved on.  For instance this just adds an extra entry to 
org-inlinetask-export-templates instead of replacing the existing 
"latex" entry.  Any help on improving this would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Chris Witte.

You can also take some inspiration from the ?user-friendly? example in
the post below.

(You need to look inside the org attachment)
