Hello,

I have been playing with using embedded calc equations in org mode.  I
have tried filters and with org emphasis markers but finally have come
around to using the new org link capabilities.  Thank you John for
these!

I've defined the following:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (org-link-set-parameters
   "calc"
   :export (lambda (path desc backend)
             (cond
              ((eq 'latex backend)
               (format "\\texttt{%s}" desc))))
   :face '(:foreground "chartreuse"))
#+end_src 

which I then use like this:

#+begin_src org
  [[calc:][Pv := 10^(6.886 - 1175.817 / (100 + 224.867)) => 1847.653]]
#+end_src

and with appropriate settings for calc [1], calc can manipulate and
evaluate the expressions.  So far, so good.

Two minor issues:

1. the fontification doesn't colour the links in the colour I would like
   (chartreuse, #7fff00).

2. if I have two expressions close enough, both with := and =>
   operators, org seems to get confused and interprets two of the =
   symbols, each from one expression, as emphasis markers, as in this
   example:

   #+begin_src org
     [[calc:][y := 3 x - 5 => 55]] [[calc:][z := sqrt(y) => 7.416]]
   #+end_src

Screenshot attached showing both problems: colour and second = sign
disappearing in first link and first = sign in second link.

Any suggestions on how to improve/fix these aspects?  Both are minor
presentation issues and everything else is working very well.  Calc
allows me to work with these expressions easily in org now!

Many thanks,
eric

I can not reproduce all the things you report.

I think part of the problem is [calc:]. I have to have at least two
characters of path to get a link that is colored.

I get partial chartreuse, but there are some fontlock that can go on
top, e.g. if it looks like a latex fragment.

I can reproduce the issue above, but I have no way to help improve it.
This particular case looks like emphasis from a simple regexp pov.
Fixing it might require checking that the start/end are in the
same org-element maybe.

Hi John,

But you did reproduce most so it's not my imagination :-)

Ah, okay.  I'll think about extending the template for embedded calc
recognition.

> This particular case looks like emphasis from a simple regexp pov.

Yes, indeed.  I'm getting around it by making sure there is only one
calc: link per line but not ideal.  More thinking required!

Thanks for having a look.
