Is there a way, even using a different structure (but possibly keeping those items grouped), to have an unique numbering for all those items in the page?
For the entire time I've been using #Emacs, I never used (or wanted) any kind of spell-checking. That is changing now that I'm using it a lot more to write notes/documentation with #OrgMode / #OrgRoam.
Ideally I want to only do spell-checking on comments, when editing code, and similar configurability for Org documents.
What is the recommended method for something like that in 2024 (on macOS, if that makes any difference)?
I'm writing a longer (as it seems) article on the lock-in effect of solutions like #Obsidian that are using open formats like #Markdown for storage. The file format is not the only thing that might lock you in.
I did already start with a list of arguments but also want to collect your ideas so that I don't forget a good argument.
Please, no emotions, just facts and objective arguments.
Reply here in this thread and I'll collect ideas from it. 🙇
Looking forward to setting up my used #thinkpad with #linuxmint next week. Looking for recos for easy syncing, mainly for my #emacs and #orgmode stuff. What have you used that you could recommend? I do have GDrive working well on my Windows machines, so could go that route,, though not familiar with how to do that on linux. Thanks!
@TheSecondVariation@publicvoit If you're asking me, I'm trying to figure out how to sync my stuff across multiple devices: Windows, LinuxMint, iPhone, iPad..... so that I can do #emacs and #orgmode on all of them.
Wow. I guess I was wrong when I said that we have well and truly enough #Obsidian how-to tutorials out there. Either that or this person doesn’t have the faintest idea how to google properly.
might like to look into either of those wrt to "building a second brain". On the actual software side, the darlings of note-taking seem to be split into 2 1/2 camps. Either #obsidian (page-based knowledge - my personal preference), #logseq (block-based knowledge) or #orgmode, which I'm assigning the 1/2 to as I don't know much about it, not as many people seem into it and (to me) it's complicated and non-intuitive to start off with. Obsidian has a tree structure on the left, works ...2/4
@dhry The reason why some of us use #orgmode for #pkm stuff is that it can be configured to do whatever we want and work exactly the way we want.
Especially if you use it via #emacs, in which case either someone has already made a package that does exactly what you want or it can be written as elisp code by yourself.
Out of the box default experience may not be very shiny, but under the hood it's probably the most powerful tool there is.
I'm a noob to #orgmode and loving it. Just wondering how many other "platforms" accept or translate .org files? Or will I usually have to change formats if using a file elsewhere? #emacs
They're working on a DB version in parallel that will provide better scalability, performance and realtime #collaboration (#RTC). They'll charge for RTC.
Unfortunately, this seems to be the end for #orgdown markup as they are implementing #Markdown only now and a conversion feature later on. 😞
Therefore, logseq is not an option for me any more and I'll need to think about a migration strategy for my wife.
I have an org file for a long-running project. It's getting hard to manage because there are lots of different tasks, events, etc.
I think I want to create an "archive version" of that file, which would have the same structure but store items, say, with a timestamp older than 2 months. That would require two basic steps:
extracting a subtree from the original file;
merging the extracted subtree into the archived version.
I could implement that, but I wonder if there is any existing way for that? Or some other approach that would address the same issue?
Scratching my head at an Emacs issue: Elfeed-org doesn’t seem to load my feeds. I’m not sure why, everything looks OK. I have my feeds.org and I have the path defined in rmh-elfeed-org-files and it does show the value it’s supposed to have.
Almost thought I had a good way to move #org documents into #confluance from converting them into #html. They used to have a built in HTML renderer but I suppose they couldn't fix it on the cloud and disabled it. Too bad all the html rendering apps from the marketplace are priced WAY too high for what they offer. Guess I'll have to stick with exporting to #markdown for now.
#kagi.el 0.5 was released yesterday and is now available on MELPA Stable. Most of the highlights have already been mentioned on my timeline:
• Define your own prompts with define-kagi-fastgpt-prompt' • Embed prompts and responses inside #orgmode • A no-cache' parameter for some summarizer commands (so your text flows through Kagi's infrastructure without retention)
Update on moving .md file into .org on #emacs for #orgmode. Several suggested pandoc, but for some reason I couldn't get that going. Googled how to install, etc., but no joy. So I opened my big old .md file in a buffer, selected All, copied it, and pasted into my big everything in one file org file in the section where I wanted it.
That part worked, but then had to clean up headings. Did it all manually and took about 30 minutes. Oh well. At least now I've got my daily note in orgmode.
Question for some #emacs#orgmode friends: what's the best way to import a long markdown file INTO an already existing org file and have it look like the rest of the org file? Background is that I'm working on building out One Big Org File and want to import my running daily notes from Obsidian into the org file. I've found ways to convert markdown to org, but don't know how to actually place it in the org file. Thanks!
@birv2@simoninireland I know that Org has ways to find headings, but I'm not really familiar with that part. If the converted markdown is in a buffer, then you can use insert-buffer (interactive) or insert-buffer-substring (in lisp programs) to insert the buffer holding the new content into the org file at point.
Hey #emacs#orgmode people. I’ve heard that some people use just one orgmode file for all their writing. Can someone point me to a resource on doing this and maybe weigh in on advisability?
@publicvoit@bmp Thanks for the reply! I really enjoyed your article on getting started with orgmode and your advice to keep things, simple, don't chase key bindings, only learn as you need stuff, etc. That works for me, since I tend to obsess over those details and end up not getting anything done! Under the guise of pseudo-productivity. #orgmode#emacs
