18:14 UTC (new) (history) 2017-10-02 Converting TeX sequences to Unicode characters . . . . Marcin Borkowski – I quite often deal with LaTeX files using stuff like \'a or \"e, and I really prefer having those encoded in UTF-8. So the natural question arises: how to convert one into another? The problem is especially frustrating because Emacs can do this – either via C-x 8 prefix, or with the TeX input method. It is not trivial, however, to find out how it does these things, and to get hold of the data used to actually perform the conversion. (At least, I didn’t find a way to do it.) After a bit of searching, however, I came up with another solution. I’m hesitant to call it “clever”; it’s rather hackish, but hey, it works, so who cares.

04:47 UTC (new) (history) 2017-09-18 How to hide repeating entries from the Org agenda . . . . Marcin Borkowski – For today, I only have a short tip I learned from the Org-mode mailing list recently. If you have a repeating task in your agenda, say every other day, and you show the agenda for, say, the next 15 days, it is quite annoying to see that task displayed for seven or eight days. You can now say (setq org-agenda-show-future-repeats nil) in your init file and see only one instance of this task. If you set it to 'next instead, you’ll see one more instance (which can be quite handy, I imagine). Cool!
