make doc fails on current head

make doc fails on current head

[Jonathan Leech-Pepin]

Hello,

Under the current git head (4144c55) I get the following error when
trying to run =make doc=.

#+begin_src sh
  ~/build/org-mode $ make doc
  /usr/bin/make -C doc info
  make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/d/Users/jleechpe/build/org-mode/doc'
  makeinfo --no-split org.texi -o org
  org.texi:2450: Unknown command `#$2)'.
  makeinfo: Removing output file `org' due to errors; use --force to preserve.
  Makefile:53: recipe for target `org' failed
  make[1]: *** [org] Error 1
  make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/d/Users/jleechpe/build/org-mode/doc'
  targets.mk:76: recipe for target `info' failed
  make: *** [info] Error 2
  ~/build/org-mode $
#+end_src

If I revert to =git checkout HEAD~1= make doc succeeds as it had previously.

Regards,

Jonathan

Funny that just out of curiosity and without any suspicion I came
across this regression of one of the org.texi lines written by me. The
intention of your change

-$3 = remote(FOO, @@@@#$2)      @r{copy column 2 from table FOO into}
+$3 = remote(FOO, @@@#$2)       @r{copy column 2 from table FOO into}

maybe was

+$3 = remote(FOO, @@#$2)        @r{copy column 2 from table FOO into}

but I can confirm that it should really compile to @@#$2 and not to
@#$2 or something else.

I'll think about if for this Org TBLFM expression I can find a less
confusing alternative for the texi domain. :-)

Just to make sure, you are saying that commit
4144c55ec78a4fdf246c64a4130f807eec50a913 should be reverted - the four @
signs in org.texi produce two @ signs in the produced info file, and
that's the way the info file should be. Do I undertand correctly?

Thanks,
Nick

Yes.

Hi Michael,

I just reverted my commit, thanks.

So what does @@#$2 really means?  Does the first "@" stand for "This is
a field coordinate" and the rest for the coordinates range itself?

yes

it is not a range, but as "@# and $# can be used to get the row or
column number of the field where the formula result goes" it will
evaluate to @1$2, @2$2 and so on. I tried to be brief in the manual
but there are more examples on Worg:

"Field coordinates in formulas (@#  and $#)"

@# is the current row number, so @@#$2 is a reference to the current row,
second column. Michael has a couple of nontrivial examples (e.g. transposing
a table) using this facility on worg:

  http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#field-coordinates-in-formulas-transpose-table

where he is using the current row and current col to form a reference to the transposed
location:

	@$#$@#

"The row whose number is the number of the current column and the column
whose number is the number of the current row".

Got it, thanks to you and Michael for the detailed answers.

I can confirm it's fixed

And thanks for the answer, hadn't realized you could use @# and $# for
references.
