Hello,
During the last few days I have learned about org-mode and I'm starting to plan how to change my current work flow to org-mode. My current work flow is as follows:
* At the beginning of every new day I create a horizontal line and a time stamp.
* I use mediawiki == headers == for headers and * for bulleted items.
Here is the typical view for two days:
-----------------------------------------
Monday 2010-11-08 09:49
Worked: 8:00-17:15
== Done/Todo ==
* Add parameter somewhere so that energy graphs take into account that only part of the panel receives radiation. Do this in run_specific_site.py.
* Teach Alex about python.
== Meeting with Alex and Betty ==
* Todo: run simulation for Tumbaktu.
:
-----------------------------------------
Tuesday 2010-11-09 8:31
Worked: 8:17-
== Engine changes ==
* All these will be changed to vector<Matrix> M[panel*2]
** ground_collect_matrix Ok
** sky_diffuse_matrix Ok
** sky_beam_matrix Ok
----------------------------------------------
So now I am trying to figure out how to map this into org-mode. Here are some observations and questions:
- The horizontal rule is ok in paragraph mode.
- The timestamp is ok by doing C-c .
- But the "worked line" doesn't work if I try to use "C-c C-x TAB" as it complains "Before first headline". I could turn the row into a header or just insert plain text. Is there a more elegant solution? I don't want to have the "worked" line indexed. Note that the "worked" line is used at the end of the month to summarize the amount of work hours.
- Is there any way of separating headers from items? I like the non-symmetry of the "==" syntax for headers and "*" for items, but I guess I can get used to that.
- At my previous work place I used the same notebook file for more than 10years(!) of notes, and needless to say it got to be very big (around 100k lines). Can org-mode handle that size files?
- How can I customize the exported HTML? E.g. I don't like the table of contents or the numbering of headers.
But alltogether org-mode looks great! I'm looking forward to use it both on my desktop and in emacs on my N900.
Thanks,
Dov
