At first I thought that sounded great, but then I realized that that would exclude files that I want to be backed up, like `dir-locals-2.el`, which should be excluded from git, but should also be backed up. There doesn't seem to be a

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad they're useful to you. org-ql is a search tool. It provides an alternative to some parts of org-agenda and integrates with it to some extent. Its searching is much faster and more powerful th

See https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql , which can be used to select entries with a SQL-like language, and then you can do whatever you like with the results.

> org-agenda is not fast enough, and is practically unusable with more than a few tens of files. Please see https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql , which implements agenda-like views with a much faster search backend.

See also https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql which supports org-super-agenda grouping.

As active as you are in the Emacs community, you ought to know that there is a steady stream of commits to "core." Anyway, if that's not enough for you, maybe you could allocate some of your own manpower to fixing those bugs

The question is almost like asking a fish to describe water. It's the sudden lack of it that produces a really clear example. :) Anyway, here's a random example that comes to mind: I have some sexps in a Lisp file and I want to

Pandoc can read from and export to Org format. As well, there are a number of Org parsing libraries in other languages; see https://alphapapa.github.io/org-almanac/#Parsing

FYI, there are a variety of Org parsing libraries outside of Emacs. Some of them even appear to be robust and well-developed. I collected a list here: https://alphapapa.github.io/org-almanac/#Parsing

Please see also org-ql, which mostly obsoletes org-rifle and is much faster as well.

You posted that code that seems to show calculating some CSS values dynamically.

by githubalphapapa 6y ago
That's cool, but why are you calculating CSS attributes dynamically at export time instead of just writing a stylesheet and putting that in an export theme? Separating presentation from content, etc.

Thanks, that's a great example of how Org documents can integrate code that provides interactivity. I shared it on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/jj2ok0/skxorgworklog...
