colorless and linkless

colorless and linkless

[John Rakestraw]

Hi --

(Please excuse the double-posting if any -- I'm fairly certain that my
first attempt to post this was unsuccessful.)

I've been using org mode (now at version 4.27) in Linux (FC4, current
updates, emacs 21.4.1) for a few months. I really like it -- thanks to
Carsten and others who have contributed. Everything was working well
until sometime last month. However, at that time the colors and links
stopped appearing on the screen. The TODO entries show up, and I can
cycle through the different TODO keywords, but there's no color.

In addition, the links don't show as links.

(I'm syncing my org files with my work computer, where I'm running
emacs on Windows XP. The links and colors show up there as expected.)

This change happened at a time when I was working with my org-init.el
file (called by .emacs) to set up an integration with remember.el.
It also happened about the time that Carsten changed the font-lock
faces for org mode. I mention both of these things, but (a) I can't
see how the changes I made to org-init.el might have caused the
problem and (b) I think that if changes Carsten made caused the problem
then others would surely have seen it.

Obviously, though, I know much less about emacs than others on this
list. Can someone please suggest some things that I can check?

Thanks.

Just a quick follow-up.

I should have said earlier that I backed off to a minimal org config
set-up in my org-init.el file -- only the basic lines specified in the
documentation -- and I still have neither colors nor links.

Anything interesting in the *Messages* buffer after you have visited an 
org-mode file?  Have you turned on font-lock mode?  Either for org-mode 
files, or globally with

(global-font-lock-mode 1)

???

Nothing that I can see.

Now I have. And now I see the links and colors.

Thanks for the tip.

(A setting like this is probably obvious to many [to most?], but perhaps
a line in the FAQ or the manual would be helpful? Or is it there and I
just missed it?)

But, still, thanks for a great mode.

Now, this is in fact not documented well enough.  Font-lock is so 
important for Org-mode to work, that I really need to do this.  I 
thought even of just turning it on, but I am not sure what consequences 
this would have in various ways to set up font-lock-mode.
