GTD & LaTeX export

GTD & LaTeX export

[Gour]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 486 bytes --]

Hi!

I'm moving from my old Palm Pilot to Hipster PDA (most probably with A7 format which is more 
convenient in Europe than 3x5" index cards), but would like to 'sync' some of the notes from 
it to Org-mode (especially computer-related tasks), but also to print from my org-mode file back 
to A7 forms arranged as 8-up on A4 page.

Is anybody doing something similar, i.e. printing from org-mode files to 3x5"/A7/whatever paper?

Any hint is welcome...


Sincerely,
Gour

Hi Gour

I wrote the enclosed perl script about 18 months ago.  I don't use it
anymore, as I use my hipster mainly as a capture device, and have
org-mode up and running on my Leneovo x61s which is with me pretty much
all the time.

It should still work - any probs, let me know. It basically looks for
any headlines which match the provided tag, and spits them out packaged
in latex code for 3x5 index cards.  I used lyx to get the appropriate
latex code. 

The documentation is in the file itself.

Pete

If you check the list, someone had a method of creating 8up
pocket-mod type output from Latex->pdf manipulation.

I had a project, which i have shelved for the moment, that would
do the same using org->XML->XSLT->SVG->PDF translation. Its for
a 4/6/8 up single sided A4 page. It needs to be migrated from
SVG to XSL-FO to get the text formatting right (and double sided A4),
but I can dig it out if you're interested.

I'm attaching the code from Christian Egli here again.  

I don't know if it is distributed somewhere : Christian, would you be
okay to distribute it?  If you don't have a web server at your disposal,
I can put the code somewhere on my org-mode page, or maybe Carsten can
put it on http://orgmode.org

hey,

I missed the previous post from Christian. I tried the make file and get some
really nice calendars. 
But inputs are based from the diary file, and I use org.. how to tell that the
diary input has to be produced by org.

thanks a lot.

To get the diary entries included in Org agendas:

  (setq org-agenda-include-diary t)

See (info "(org)Weekly/Daily agenda") for details.

To get the org agenda entries included in the diary:

  &%%(org-diary :scheduled :deadline :timestamp)

I would love to distribute it, that's the whole point.

I don't really.

It would be great if Carsten could host it. I don't want to impose any
burden on him if I need to upload a new version.

Here's an updated version which includes a few comments and feedback
from the list.

I've put v0.3 there for now:

  http://www.cognition.ens.fr/~guerry/bastien-org-mode.html

(I'll rewrite this page sooner or later...)
