org structuresin a drawer? (or some other presentation soution)

org structuresin a drawer? (or some other presentation soution)

[Matt Price]

I'm trying to write my lectures entirely in org.  I would like to just
write them once, using the main org file for my notes, and an exported
deck.js presentation for slides.  However, I would like to include
quite a number of notes to myself for each slide.

One way to do this is to make a drawer.  Unfortunately, from what I
can tell, within a drawer it is not posible to use org structures like
lists.  This is too bad, as I have come to rely on such structures in
my notes!  Is there a way to either:

- have org elements ike lists in a drawer?
or- mark certain elements (like a list or subheading) as not-for-export?
Thanks as always!

Maybe using the :noexport: tag on a heading?

Drawers can contain any structure but drawers and headlines.

inside a drawer, when I try to make a lit, org-meta-return doesn't
seem to create a new ist item, but instead just indents the next line
without also inserting a "- ".  Is this a bug? THanks,

I think it is a bug, indeed.

There's this condition in `org-meta-return', but I'm not sure why it is
here. Probably historical reasons.

  (cond
   ...
   ((or (org-at-drawer-p) (org-in-drawer-p) (org-at-property-p))
    (newline-and-indent))
   ...)

Well, it is to avoid that a new headline would be made inside a drawer,
because it would violate Org syntax.  But of course, it would be OK to
insert an item.  What would be a good solution?  Maybe we better catch
this problem in org-insert-heading?  Or maybe not at all?  We also do
not catch it in src block, for example.  So I am fine with removing
this condition in org-meta-return.

Thank you for the reminder.  I will take a look - these are in my
action queue, but I had not gotten to them yet.

I think the approach taken is wrong. But we should definitely keep the
tests.

I suggest to be very permissive and allow a user to shoot himself in the
foot.  The following function implements the same behaviour as before,
without the drawer check, but with Elements.

  (defun org-meta-return (&optional arg)
    "Insert a new heading or wrap a region in a table.
  Calls `org-insert-heading' or `org-table-wrap-region', depending
  on context. See the individual commands for more information."
    (interactive "P")
    (org-check-before-invisible-edit 'insert)
    (or (run-hook-with-args-until-success 'org-metareturn-hook)
        (let* ((element (org-element-at-point))
               (type (org-element-type element)))
          (when (eq type 'table-row)
            (setq element (org-element-property :parent element)))
          (if (and (eq type 'table)
                   (eq (org-element-property :type element) 'org)
                   (>= (point) (org-element-property :contents-begin element))
                   (< (point) (org-element-property :contents-end element)))
              (call-interactively 'org-table-wrap-region)
            (call-interactively 'org-insert-heading)))))

Oops. I forgot a (setq type 'table) within the `when'.

Thank you for this improvement. AFAIU org-in-drawer-p was introduced
only for org-meta-return and can now be removed.
