12 ** Incompatible changes
13 *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
14 ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
15 version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
17 Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
18 ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
19 *** Properties drawers syntax changes
20 Properties drawers are now required to be located right after
21 a headline and its planning line, when applicable.
23 It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
24 logged before the property drawer. The following function will repair
27 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
28 (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
29 "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
30 Ignore non Org buffers."
31 (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
33 (goto-char (point-min))
34 (let ((case-fold-search t)
35 (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
36 (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
40 (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
42 (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
44 (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
45 (when (and (< (point) end)
46 (not (org-looking-at-p org-property-drawer-re))
48 (and (re-search-forward org-property-drawer-re end t)
50 (save-match-data (org-element-at-point)))
52 (insert (delete-and-extract-region
54 (min (1+ (match-end 0)) end)))
55 (unless (bolp) (insert "\n"))))))))))))
57 *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
58 Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
59 buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
61 The following functions require an additional argument. See their
62 docstring for more information.
63 - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
64 - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
65 - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
66 - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
68 *** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
69 Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
70 *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
71 This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
72 current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
73 it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
74 accessible from the export dispatcher.
75 *** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
76 ~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
78 *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
79 It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
82 If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
83 two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
84 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
85 This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name=
86 at the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the
87 value of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=.
88 To chose a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind
89 this variable locally.
90 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
91 This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
92 styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
93 be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
94 compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
95 anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
96 *** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
97 Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
98 would create invalid planning info. This dangerous option is now
101 *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
102 The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
103 instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
104 *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
105 Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
106 possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
108 *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
109 If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
110 argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
111 representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
113 *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
114 One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
115 which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
116 ~org-drawers~ variable.
117 *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
118 Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer. Major
119 mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
120 "latex" \to "latex-mode"). You can define exceptions to this rule by
121 configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.
122 *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
123 For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch
125 *** New option in ASCII export
126 Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting
127 ~org-ascii-list-margin~ variable to an appopriate integer.
128 *** New blocks in ASCII export
129 ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and
130 =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT= blocks. See documentation for details.
131 *** More back-end specific publishing options
132 The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
133 increased. See manual for details.
134 *** Export inline source blocks
135 Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
136 now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
137 in the output, depending on the parameters.
138 *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
139 These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
140 *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
141 *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
142 This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
143 more features. See docstring for details.
144 *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
145 Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
146 document, befor wrapping it within the template.
147 *** Improve radio tables
148 Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
149 ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
150 parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are
151 new parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
152 ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
153 docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
154 *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
155 It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction with
156 source blocks exported by the minted package.
157 *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
158 Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
159 would throw an error. A new variable
160 ~org-table-formula-create-columns~ was added to adjust this
161 behavior. It is now possible to silently add new columns, to do so
162 with a warning or to explicitly ask the user each time.
164 Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
166 *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
167 This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
168 on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
169 *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
170 When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
171 *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
172 This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is
173 now deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
174 special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
175 *** Export unnumbered headlines
176 Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
177 exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
178 property is inherited by children.
179 *** Countdown timers can now be paused.
180 ~org-timer-pause-time~ wil now pause and restart both relative and
183 *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
184 ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
185 *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
186 Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
187 =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
188 *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
189 As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
190 footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
192 *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
193 This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
194 =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
195 *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
196 =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
197 *** Select tests to perform with the build system
198 The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
199 regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
200 This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
201 particular test failure was introduced.
204 ** Incompatible changes
205 *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
206 This may require two changes in user config.
208 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
209 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
210 to remove "sh" and include "shell".
212 *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
214 Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
215 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
216 need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
218 Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
219 =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
221 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
225 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
227 *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
229 Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
230 t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
231 option keywords like :html-include-style.
233 So you need to replace
235 : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
239 : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
241 Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
242 and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
244 *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
246 ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
247 process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
248 relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
250 Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
251 the other optional arguments accordingly.
253 *** Export back-ends are now structures
255 Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
256 communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
257 now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
260 Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
262 ** Important bugfixes
264 *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
265 *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
267 *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
269 You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
270 this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
271 separator starting a TOTO match string.
274 *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
276 See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
278 *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
281 - Support for .pgf files
282 - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
283 - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
284 - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
285 replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
286 or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
287 - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
288 now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
290 *** New functions for paragraph motion
292 The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
293 that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
294 in a paragraph-like way.
296 *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
298 Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
299 dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
300 leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
301 preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
302 check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
304 *** Anonymous export back-ends
306 ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
307 which can then be passed to export functions like
308 ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
310 It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
311 registering a new back-end.
313 *** New agenda fortnight view
315 The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
316 views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
319 *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
321 This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
322 *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
324 This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
325 See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
326 *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
328 This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
329 the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
331 Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
332 allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
333 library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
334 so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
335 t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
338 *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
340 This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
342 *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
344 This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
346 *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
348 See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
350 *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
352 If you set this to the following
354 : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
356 then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
358 *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
360 This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
362 ** New contributed packages
364 - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
365 export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
368 - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
369 screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
373 *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
375 "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
376 starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
377 a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
378 the same with example blocks.
380 This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
387 Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
389 If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
392 - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
393 =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
394 customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
396 - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
397 correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
398 only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
399 the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
400 detailed explanations.
402 - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
403 you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
404 function has been called already.
406 When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
409 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
411 ** Incompatible changes
413 Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
415 If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
417 If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
418 you will have to update them.
420 Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
422 See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
423 this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
425 **** New export engine
427 Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
428 export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
429 already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
430 /all/ export back-ends.
432 The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
433 keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
434 built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
435 directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
436 [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
438 More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
439 corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
441 If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
442 rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
443 option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
444 manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
446 **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
448 : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
450 should now be written
452 : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
454 Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
455 respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
456 each backend. See Org's manual for details.
458 **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
460 You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
462 Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
465 Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
466 remember templates into capture templates.
468 **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
470 If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
471 will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
473 **** Note for third-party developers
475 The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
476 prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
477 files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
479 If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
482 **** Packages moved from core to contrib
484 Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
485 to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
486 moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
488 The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
489 is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
490 included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
493 - org-colview-xemacs.el
500 Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
501 ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
502 ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
504 Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
505 wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
507 ** New packages in core
509 *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
511 =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
513 *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
515 =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
517 *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
519 =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
520 vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
522 *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
524 =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
526 ** New packages in contrib
528 *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns

532 =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
535 *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
537 [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
538 software, written entirely in the C programming language.
540 ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
543 *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
545 ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
547 *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
549 Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
551 Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
552 for starting headlines.
554 *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
556 ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
557 locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
558 the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
559 [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
561 *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sébastien Delafond
563 ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
565 *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
567 [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
568 presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
571 [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
572 presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
575 *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
577 The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
578 plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
581 Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
582 conversion from Org files to groff.
584 *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
586 This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
588 *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
590 This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
591 with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
598 **** New export generic options
600 If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
601 it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
603 Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
605 - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
606 =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
607 You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
608 file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
610 - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
611 =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
612 now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
613 [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
614 new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
615 set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
616 standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
617 contains time-stamps.
619 To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
620 Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
621 the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
623 **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
625 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
627 **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
629 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
631 **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
632 **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
633 **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
634 *** Structure editing
636 **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
637 **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
639 [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
640 prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
642 **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
644 This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
645 would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
646 create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
647 an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
650 **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
652 In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
653 _words__= will preserve markup.
655 **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
657 This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
658 is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
659 can slow down the flow of editing too much.
661 **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
663 These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
664 speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
666 **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
668 These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
669 now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
670 =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
671 forward and backward.
673 **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
674 **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
676 Now Org will sort this list
678 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
679 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
683 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
684 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
686 by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
687 Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
688 **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
690 For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
691 =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
692 states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
694 In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
697 **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
699 The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
700 When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
701 time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
703 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
705 This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
706 restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
707 The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
708 restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
710 **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
712 When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
713 removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
714 information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
715 If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
716 TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
718 **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
720 This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
721 The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
722 fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
724 : #+attr_html: :width 300px
725 *** Scheduled/deadline
727 **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
729 If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
730 now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
731 task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
732 from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
734 Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
735 you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
736 display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
737 to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
739 In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
740 occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
741 occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
742 and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
743 control this globally or per agenda.
745 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
747 See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
749 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
751 =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
752 *** Calendar, diary and appts
754 **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
756 By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
757 normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
758 the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
760 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
761 ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
762 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
764 ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
765 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
767 (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
770 **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
772 This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
773 appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
774 call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
776 **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
778 [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
779 in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
780 only show their description, not the full links.
783 **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
785 When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
786 list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
787 want to build a list of appointments.
789 You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
790 each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
792 Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
794 : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
796 This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
797 time value (i.e. appointments).
799 **** New agenda sorting strategies
801 [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
803 | Strategy | Explanations |
804 |----------------+------------------------------------------|
805 | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
806 | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
807 | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
808 | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
809 | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
810 | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
811 | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
812 | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
813 | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
814 | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
816 **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
818 You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
819 different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
820 while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
822 These new options are available:
824 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
825 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
826 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
827 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
829 For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
830 view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
831 without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
833 When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
834 to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
835 no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
836 to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
837 show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
838 non-tagged headlines.
840 **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
842 You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
843 regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
844 example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
845 that take only =N= minutes.
847 **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
849 You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
850 == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
851 [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
853 **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
855 Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
856 filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
858 **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
860 You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
861 headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
863 This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
866 **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
868 It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
869 your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
870 =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
872 This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
873 change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
875 **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
877 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
878 to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
880 This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
882 **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
884 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
885 display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
888 **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
890 =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
891 overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
892 asks for a confirmation.
894 **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
896 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
897 the mark of the entry at point.
899 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
900 toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
902 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
904 This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
905 E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
908 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
910 This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
911 options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
913 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
915 This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
916 entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
918 **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
920 The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
921 it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
922 [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
923 string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
925 **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
927 When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
928 =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
929 repeated beyond the current deadline.
931 **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
933 This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
934 which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
935 prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
936 deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
938 Read the full docstring for details.
940 **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
942 For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
945 : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
948 **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
950 With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
951 point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
954 **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
956 If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
957 expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
959 **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
961 [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
962 allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
963 be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
964 check against the name of the buffer.
967 Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
968 (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
969 headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
972 You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
973 agenda views, and for filtering.
975 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
979 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
981 Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
982 other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
983 through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
985 Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
986 as if the protocol was not known.
988 You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
990 **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
992 Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
993 Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
994 RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
997 **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
999 =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
1000 description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
1001 with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
1003 **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
1005 When storing a link to a headline like
1007 : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
1009 [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
1010 It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
1011 there is no description.
1014 **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
1016 If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
1017 apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
1018 those other formulas.
1020 **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
1022 If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
1023 [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
1024 mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
1027 **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
1029 If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
1030 english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
1031 internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
1034 **** New lookup functions
1036 There are now three lookup functions:
1038 - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
1039 - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
1040 - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
1042 See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
1043 *** Startup keywords
1045 These new startup keywords are now available:
1047 | Startup keyword | Option |
1048 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1049 | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
1050 | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
1051 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1052 | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
1053 | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
1054 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1055 | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
1056 | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
1060 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
1062 E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
1063 clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
1064 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
1065 your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
1067 **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
1069 When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
1070 day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
1071 for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
1074 See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
1075 [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
1077 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
1079 This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
1080 milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
1082 **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
1084 When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
1085 option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
1086 [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
1088 **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
1089 **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
1090 **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
1091 **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
1092 **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
1093 **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
1094 **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
1097 **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
1099 This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
1101 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
1103 This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
1104 same target than the block at point.
1106 **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
1108 When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
1109 in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
1110 file under the same directory than the base Org file.
1112 When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
1113 the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
1116 **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
1118 This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
1119 code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
1120 manual for a usage example.
1122 **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
1124 If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
1125 the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
1126 collecting blocks for tangling.
1128 **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
1129 **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
1131 Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
1132 cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
1133 **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
1134 **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
1136 When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
1137 instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.

1169 *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
1171 David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
1173 You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
1175 *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
1177 Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
1178 Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
1179 buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
1180 Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
1181 ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
1182 source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
1183 improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
1184 found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
1186 Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
1188 - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]

1191 *** MobileOrg for iOS
1193 MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
1194 the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
1195 launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
1199 ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
1201 [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
1202 org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
1205 When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
1206 =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
1207 to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
1208 in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
1209 agenda type to this variable.
1211 Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
1214 Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
1215 lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
1216 to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
1217 them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
1219 ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
1221 Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
1222 can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
1223 invisible) blocked tasks.
1225 ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
1227 You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
1228 consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
1230 You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
1232 ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
1233 ** No GPL manual anymore
1235 There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
1236 case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
1238 The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
1240 ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
1242 Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
1243 various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
1244 in most environments.
1248 ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
1250 You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
1252 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1253 (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
1256 It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
1257 available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
1258 extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
1261 See http://orgmode.org/elpa/

1281 ** New package and Babel language
1283 *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
1285 =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
1287 *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
1288 *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
1290 ** Incompatible changes
1292 - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
1293 [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
1295 - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
1298 - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
1299 =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
1300 previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
1302 ** New features and user-visible changes
1306 =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
1307 in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
1308 and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
1309 core and many core functions rely on this package.
1311 Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
1312 =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
1314 See the docstrings for more details.
1316 Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
1317 on =org-element.el=.
1319 **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
1321 The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
1322 right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
1323 a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
1324 will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
1326 **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
1328 If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
1329 down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
1330 =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
1331 forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
1333 **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
1335 This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
1337 **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
1339 This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
1342 **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
1343 **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
1345 This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
1346 point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
1347 paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
1350 Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
1353 To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
1354 (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
1355 [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
1357 Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
1358 element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
1359 on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
1364 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
1366 There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
1367 agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
1368 you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
1369 corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
1371 When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
1372 named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
1373 agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
1374 further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
1375 generating new ones.
1377 If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
1380 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
1382 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
1383 agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
1386 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1387 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
1388 '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
1391 then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
1392 visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
1393 details on how to use this.
1395 **** Changes in bulk actions
1397 The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
1398 features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
1400 After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
1401 the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
1402 on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
1403 will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
1404 using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
1406 You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
1407 at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
1409 To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
1410 keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
1413 **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
1415 **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
1417 This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
1419 There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
1420 character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
1422 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
1424 When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
1425 action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
1426 invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
1427 rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
1430 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
1432 =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
1435 In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
1436 because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
1437 When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
1438 fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
1439 shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
1442 **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
1444 See the [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3Df426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
1446 **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
1448 You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
1449 filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
1450 pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
1451 filters and category filters.
1453 You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
1454 views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
1457 See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
1458 hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
1459 are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
1464 **** Inserting links
1466 When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
1467 now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
1468 description is often more useful when you look for the link you
1471 Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
1472 you complete a description, the literal link and its description
1473 will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
1474 link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
1476 In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
1479 **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
1481 On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
1482 abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
1483 but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
1484 that takes the tag as its own argument.)
1486 **** New link type =help=
1488 You can now create links from =help= buffers.
1490 For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
1491 =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
1492 you go back to the same buffer.
1494 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
1496 This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
1497 prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
1500 This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
1502 **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
1504 When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
1506 **** Org can now open multiple shell links
1508 **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
1510 **** RET now follows time stamps links
1514 **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
1516 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
1517 [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
1518 loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
1519 keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
1521 **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
1523 If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
1524 selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
1525 all headlines in the region.
1527 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
1529 **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
1531 Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
1532 with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
1534 **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
1536 **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
1538 =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
1540 You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
1542 **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
1544 When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
1545 containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
1546 commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
1551 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
1553 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
1555 **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
1557 This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
1558 clocked entry, if any.
1560 **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
1562 **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
1564 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
1566 When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
1567 last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
1570 You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
1571 C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
1572 and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
1576 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
1578 This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
1581 **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
1583 [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
1584 cells in clockreport.
1586 [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
1587 time cells in clockreport.
1590 **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
1592 [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
1593 is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
1595 [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
1596 in the mode line and/or frame title.
1598 This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
1599 title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
1600 for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
1601 space in the frame title.
1605 **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
1607 The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
1608 on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
1609 be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
1610 don't want to see temporarily.
1612 **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
1614 This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
1616 **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
1618 There are these new entities:
1620 : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "˜" "~" "~" "~")
1621 : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
1622 : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
1623 : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
1624 : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
1625 : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
1627 **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
1628 **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
1629 **** New face value for =org-document-title=
1631 The face is back to a normal height.
1635 **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
1636 **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
1638 You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
1639 will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
1641 **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
1643 If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
1644 block will use its value as the column format.
1646 **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
1648 *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
1650 **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
1652 =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
1654 When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
1655 type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
1656 interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
1657 [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
1659 **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
1663 : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
1665 if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
1667 **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
1669 **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
1671 "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
1672 date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
1673 =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
1675 **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
1677 When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
1678 timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
1679 sparse tree with =C-c /=.
1683 **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
1685 M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
1686 template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
1687 template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
1688 you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
1690 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
1692 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
1693 capture templates should be available from. For example, when
1696 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1697 (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
1698 '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
1701 then the =c= capture template will only be available from
1702 =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
1703 more details on how to use this.
1705 **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
1706 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
1708 Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
1709 You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
1712 **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
1714 See the manual for more explanations.
1716 **** More control over empty lines
1718 You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
1719 control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
1722 **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
1724 This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
1728 **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
1730 =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
1731 =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
1732 available) to print beautiful tables.
1734 **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
1736 When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
1737 will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
1740 **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
1742 The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
1743 in the #+DATE option.
1745 **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
1747 See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
1749 **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
1750 **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
1752 Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
1753 More languages are always welcome.
1755 **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
1757 This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
1758 Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
1760 **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
1761 **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3De9fd33][this commit]] for details)
1762 **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
1763 **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
1764 **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
1765 **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
1767 Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
1768 to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
1772 **** New =:results drawer= parameter
1774 =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
1777 **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
1779 =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
1780 results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
1782 =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
1784 **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
1786 It used to exports the results of the code.
1790 **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
1791 **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
1793 If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
1794 inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
1796 **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
1798 Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
1799 Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
1800 that Calc formulas can operate on them.
1802 **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
1803 **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
1805 You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
1806 set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
1807 value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
1810 **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
1812 This will increment the effort value.
1814 It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
1816 **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
1818 =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
1819 attach symbolic links.
1821 **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
1823 **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
1825 =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
1826 additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
1828 **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
1830 This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
1832 **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
1833 **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
1834 **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
1836 =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
1838 When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
1839 all top level list items.
1841 **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
1843 Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
1845 **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
1846 **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
1848 **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
1850 **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
1852 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
1853 =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
1854 will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
1855 first headline in the region.
1857 **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
1859 When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
1862 ** Important bug fixes
1864 *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
1866 If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
1867 perform completion with meaningful values.
1869 *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
1871 Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
1872 HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
1873 owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
1875 The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
1876 the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
1878 The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
1879 mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
1882 =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
1883 the code and the license to your needs.
1885 See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
1886 explanations on why these changes were necessary.
1890 ** Incompatible changes
1892 *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
1894 Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
1896 *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
1898 To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
1899 version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
1900 but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
1901 made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
1904 *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
1906 The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
1907 sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
1908 states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
1910 *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
1912 The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
1913 =org-agenda-span= instead.
1915 Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
1917 *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
1919 So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
1920 of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
1921 necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
1922 maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
1923 for example for the special symbol support it needs.
1925 First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
1926 way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
1927 will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
1928 that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
1929 rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
1930 =[EXTRA]= place holder):
1932 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
1933 (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
1934 org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
1937 /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
1940 There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
1941 packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
1942 definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
1943 the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
1945 The two new variables are:
1947 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
1948 variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
1949 Normally you should not change this variable. The only
1950 reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
1951 causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
1952 you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
1953 Org-mode functionality that needs it.
1955 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
1956 you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
1959 The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
1962 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
1963 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
1964 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
1965 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
1967 If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
1968 if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
1969 header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
1970 put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
1973 [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
1974 [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
1975 [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
1976 [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
1977 [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
1978 [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
1981 If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
1982 should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
1983 are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
1984 applies to the following packages:
2002 If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
2003 you are using, you can remove it from
2004 =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
2005 some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
2008 You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
2009 to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
2010 holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
2011 said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
2012 holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
2015 *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
2017 Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
2018 is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
2019 an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
2022 *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
2024 Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
2026 *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
2028 This function has been deleted: please update your code.
2030 ** Important new features
2032 *** New Org to ODT exporter
2034 Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
2036 To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
2037 for more information on how to customize it.
2039 *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
2041 This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
2042 describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
2043 use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
2044 section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
2046 The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
2047 possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
2048 [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
2050 To switch over to the new system:
2054 : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
2056 to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
2057 new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
2058 but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
2059 place to modify your templates. After running this command,
2060 enter the customize buffer for this variable with
2062 : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
2064 and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
2067 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
2070 : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
2072 If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
2073 you have decided to move over completely to the new
2074 implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
2075 with using both system in parallel.
2079 *** New Org libraries
2080 **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
2082 Implement links to eshell buffers.
2084 **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
2086 This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
2088 To use, put the following in your init file:
2091 (require 'org-special-blocks)
2094 The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
2095 previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
2096 LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
2097 encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
2098 into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
2099 protected, as text inside environments generally is.
2100 When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
2101 class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
2102 to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
2105 **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
2107 Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
2108 He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
2110 **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
2112 Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
2113 functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
2114 etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
2117 This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
2118 call function to do something special with text links.
2120 Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
2122 **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
2124 This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
2125 Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
2126 to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
2129 : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
2131 Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
2133 *** New Babel libraries
2135 - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
2136 - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
2137 - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
2138 - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
2139 - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
2140 - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
2141 - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
2143 ** Other new features and various enhancements
2147 **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
2149 Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
2150 data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
2151 single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
2152 stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
2153 free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
2154 standard bibtex reference types and fields.
2156 The key new functions are
2158 - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
2159 (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
2160 for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
2162 - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
2163 using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
2165 - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
2166 formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
2168 - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
2169 to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
2171 **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
2173 You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
2174 useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
2175 later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
2177 **** Modified link escaping
2179 David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
2181 : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
2182 : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
2183 : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
2184 : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
2187 : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
2188 : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
2189 : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
2190 : percent escaped links are solved.
2192 Thanks a lot to David for this work.
2194 **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
2196 When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
2197 file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
2199 Patch by Stephen Eglen.
2201 **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
2203 The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
2204 changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
2205 are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
2206 to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
2207 string to be executed.
2209 For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
2210 =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
2214 Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
2215 Command: evince "%s" -p %1
2218 Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
2222 **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
2224 You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
2225 when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
2226 (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
2227 today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
2229 You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
2230 will work on the current entry.
2232 You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
2233 (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
2235 Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
2237 **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
2239 So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
2242 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
2243 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
2248 **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
2250 This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
2251 value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
2252 details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
2254 **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
2256 The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
2257 to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
2258 entries using a function.
2260 Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
2261 Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
2262 [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
2264 **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
2266 Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
2267 the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
2268 C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
2270 **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
2272 =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
2273 random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
2274 This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
2275 you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
2276 them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
2277 a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
2279 Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
2283 **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
2285 When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
2286 the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
2288 When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
2289 docstring of these variable for details about available
2292 You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
2293 way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
2294 formatting string will insert a string.
2296 **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
2298 While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
2299 improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
2300 representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
2301 of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
2302 in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
2303 exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
2304 C-e u=, respectively.
2306 When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
2307 targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
2308 representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
2309 example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
2310 Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
2313 **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
2315 The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
2316 class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
2318 **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
2320 This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
2321 =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
2323 **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
2325 Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
2326 to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
2327 presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
2328 support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
2329 section]] in the manual for more details.
2331 Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
2332 BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
2333 for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
2338 **** Refile targets can now be cached
2340 You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
2341 =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
2342 have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
2343 the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
2344 offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
2346 **** New logging support for refiling
2348 Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
2349 added to this entry. For details, see the new option
2352 Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
2356 **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
2358 Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
2362 **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
2364 See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
2365 Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
2367 **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
2369 When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
2370 the displayed in the buffer.
2372 Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
2374 **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
2376 If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
2377 Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
2379 | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
2380 |--------+--------+---------|
2381 | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
2382 #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
2384 Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
2387 Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
2390 **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
2392 Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
2394 : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
2395 : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
2402 : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
2403 : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
2406 Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
2408 **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
2410 Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
2411 there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
2413 Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
2417 **** Improved handling of lists
2419 Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
2421 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
2422 lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
2423 doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
2426 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
2427 variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
2428 counters like [@c] or [@W].
2430 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
2431 blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
2432 controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
2433 `org-list-export-context'.
2435 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
2436 keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
2437 and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
2439 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
2440 standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
2441 prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
2442 make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
2443 integrate paragraphs inside a list.
2445 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
2446 used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
2447 blank line around, without breaking list structure.
2449 Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
2451 *** Inline display of linked images
2453 Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
2454 toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
2455 that have no description part will be inlined.
2457 *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
2459 If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
2460 from 1, you can now do it like this:
2462 : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
2464 *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
2466 In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
2467 code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
2468 augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
2469 variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
2470 also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
2471 into account all header arguments, and variables.
2473 A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
2474 can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
2475 expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
2478 The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
2479 values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
2480 stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
2481 is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
2482 to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
2483 properties or in tables.
2485 Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
2486 behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
2487 names, and rownames across all languages.
2489 *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
2491 **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
2493 This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
2494 kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
2495 Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
2497 **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
2499 See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
2500 request by Scott Otterson.
2502 **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
2504 The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
2505 entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
2506 and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
2507 display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
2508 superscripts, see the variable
2509 =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
2511 Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
2513 **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
2515 The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
2516 displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
2517 author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
2518 following new faces:
2520 =org-document-title=
2522 =org-document-info-keyword=
2524 In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
2525 make the corresponding keywords disappear.
2527 Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
2529 **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
2531 The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
2532 =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
2533 specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
2534 background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
2535 variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
2536 property is affected by this setting.
2538 This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
2539 The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
2541 **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
2543 Requested by Michael Brand.
2545 **** Better level cycling function
2547 =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
2548 through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
2549 version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
2550 this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
2552 **** Adaptive filling
2554 For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
2555 the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
2556 now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
2557 comments to be filled correctly.
2559 Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
2561 **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
2563 Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
2565 **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
2567 When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
2568 assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
2570 Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
2574 **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
2576 Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
2577 increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
2578 duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
2579 slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
2581 Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
2583 **** Localized clock tables
2585 Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
2586 the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
2587 the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
2588 available translated strings.
2590 **** Show clock overruns in mode line
2592 When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
2593 planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
2594 using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
2595 extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
2597 Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
2599 **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
2601 If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
2602 into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
2603 can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
2604 of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
2607 Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
2611 **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
2613 There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
2614 See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
2616 Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
2618 **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
2620 This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
2621 some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
2622 would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
2625 Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
2628 **** New helper functions in org-table.el
2630 There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
2631 This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
2636 org-table-current-line
2640 **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
2642 The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
2643 archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
2646 This was requested by Tom.
2648 **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
2650 This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
2651 example by viewing from the agenda.
2653 This was a request by Matt Lundin.
