org-annotation-helper

[Daniel M German]

hi everybody,

I took the liberty of updating the elisp file that John Rakestraw sent
last week. I (think) have improved a bit and the description should be
easier to follow. I have also made it possible to insert the selected
text into the current buffer (the code was there, I just had to grab
it).

One major change: i have replaced the separator from "%1C" to
"::remember::" (the %1C never worked for me).

Let me know if you have questions/problems.

Re: org-annotation-helper

[John Rakestraw]

Hi Dan, Carsten, Alan and others --

Dan, thanks for following up on this.

Carsten, I'm happy to have this added to the contrib/lisp directory.
However, I really shouldn't be listed in the code as an author. Bastien
did the initial adaptations of the code from the emacs-planner list. I
sent it to the list in response to Dan's query, but I think the only
tweak I added to the code (it's been months, so I'm not sure) was to
comment out one line that seemed redundant to me. These other guys are
the coders.

Alan, just to reinforce Dan's encouragement -- I remember being a
little puzzled when I first tried to set this up, but the perseverance
was well worth it -- it's been a great tool to get annotated links into
an org file collection. You're right, there are three bits of code --
the bookmarklets added to your browser, the shell script that Dan
calls the handler, and the org-annotation-helper.el module. Then you
have your org-remember template, but you don't even have to write that
-- just use Dan's. To set it all up, just work through Dan's
step-by-step listed in the commentary on the code. It's not nearly as
complicated as you might think -- and you can come back with particular
questions if you encounter problems. (Don't mean to be pushy or glib --
just a satisfied user....)

How do you use this ? when I call it it just opens up the remember
buffer and asks me for a template.

Right. If you have a remember template defined appropriately (Dan gives
an example of his in his code that you could use after very minor
modification), then the different elements of what you've snatched from
the web page (URL, page title, and text copied from the page) into
their proper place for filing away in the org file designated in the
template.

HTH.

John is right. You need to read the org manual on templates, so you can
define your own.  It is imperative. the template specifies the data you
want to use (region == highlighted text, link is the URL + title). BTW,
I store the region is a temp buffer *org-ann* where you can get it
directly if needed (current region is the last use of the module). I
don't delete the previous copies (for debugging purposes now, but I'll
probably do it in the next release).

Hi Thiery,


this is a problem of HTML. HTML has no linebreaks (or better: they are
ignored). Since the browser doesn't know about the linebreaks, you
simple get one line of text.


Only lists are send with linebreaks it seems.


For normal text this is no problem, just press `M-q' and everything is
fine (still anoying when copying source code though).

Yes the problem is for source code.

From Firefox I get bulleted lists in the form:

  * Here is the text of the first item
  * Second item...

And numbered lists:

  # first item
  # second item...


Hm - it's not that great :)
