Interesting #emacs #orgmode thing I tried that works: you can put inline images into table cells.

This is of limited use with native org tables, since you can't have multiple lines per cell, which means you can't add any CAPTION or ATTR_HTML data, but I'm tinkering with the idea of an old-school contact sheet-style workflow in org mode, something along the lines of:

1. generate a table of thumbnails from some list of image files

2. write some kind of "reject image in current cell" function (I don't actually know if there are org-table apis that would support this? Maybe it could be run via inline button after the image?) function

3. write some other "do stuff with remaining images" function that you can run when you're done weeding through photos

One small step for mankind, one giant leap for dark mode users: #emacs #orgmode Worg documentation now has it: https://orgmode.org/worg/

@davemq You can get org table calculations (which use Emacs Calc, as you say) to handle units (of measure) by adding ";u" to the end of any calculation.

#Emacs #Calc #orgmode

Looking at orgmode 9.8 release notes. Like this feature

'Tables copied into the clipboard from LibreOffice Calc documents can now be pasted as an Org table using yank-media'.

#emacs #orgmode

Not quite sure why but org mode 9.8 seems a lot faster than before which has also improved org-roam startup time. org-roam also got an update (which may have contributed). Happy days !

Looking for #android users to help test Harp (offline PHR app using #orgmode files)

Harp lets you maintain health journals, attach reports/scans/prescriptions, and keep full control of your data. No cloud, no trackers, no ads. Just regular Org files you can open in #emacs, use with Org-roam, version, sync via whatever works for you, etc.

Project page: https://docs.lepisma.xyz/harp/ and a write up for more details https://lepisma.xyz/2026/02/24/harp/

It's freely available on F-Droid. But I am preparing a Play Store release and need 12 testers (14-day install requirement). If you're willing to help test, send me your play store linked email.

Any other feedback is very welcome.

I was looking for my personal knowledge management system. How can I store documents, how can I interconnect them, how can I build something that I can use on Mac/Linux/Win - and that stores data locally. Easy to read, no magic, just plain text (references can be everything). In the end - I ended with #emacs #orgmode with the addition of small helpers like #org-attach (builtin). The knowledge articles are stored in #org-roam, org-attach stores the data in org-roam-directory/data using IDs. If I store a document I create a reference node that has the attachment in it - from there I crosslink to my org notes. Simple, no fuzz. Just Emacs and some lousy config lines. Did I mention, that I blog from there as well? The blog posts for my blog (https://node01.de) are nodes inside org-roam, that will be published using ox-hugo to a 2nd repo and are published statically to a webserver.

Thanks #emacs, thanks #hugo

New version of ascii-tree.el…
Convert ASCII directory trees into Markdown or Org-mode outlines, and accurately reconstruct them back into pixel-perfect ASCII trees.
ascii-tree.el allows you to take standard tree command outputs, document them richly using Markdown or Org-mode, and convert them back into clean ASCII diagrams without losing structural integrity.

I'm unreasonably excited about our new website over at roosnaflak.com! Did a full migration from zola/markdown/gitlab to #emacs #orgmode on @Codeberg

Even had time to write up a few notes on the migration process: https://roosnaflak.com/tech-and-research/migrating-website-to-orgmode.html

@mattsheffield excludes #magit and #OrgMode from the question but one cannot miss the chance to thank @tarsius, @yantar92, @bzg, and others I am forgetting.

Many other packages in my config but life without ANY OF THE ABOVE would truly be GRIM.

#emacs

@peaoPerdido @jeremy I routinely use #Emacs with #OrgMode and #OrgRoam on #GrapheneOS (a security hardened Android fork). I can even use #OrRoamUI and see the node cloud in my Vanadium browser. The setup instructions are a little knarly though

Android ports for GNU Emacs https://sourceforge.net/projects/android-ports-for-gnu-emacs/files/termux/

Having some good keyboards like The Unexpected Keyboard https://f-droid.org/packages/juloo.keyboard2/ is critical to be able to use the Emacs key combinations.

I also use #SyncThing to keep my notes in sync across devices.

@jeremy I started with #orgroam and I miss a way to look and capture notes when I'm on my phone (Android). I heard #logseq is capable of doing this and working as a mobile app for #orgmode.

From your post I understood that you are moving from logseq to org-roam. Do you need to access your notes while on mobile? Do you have any tips on what to use?

Hello Worg, the Org-Mode Community

Every day which i either use org-mode or watch videos/bloh posts about it, my brain explodes how much cool stuff is provided or waiting to be integrated.

Sad that i suck at lisp languages. I mean in theory i get them, but my brain does not like it, so reading it is slow for me.

#OrgMode #Org #Emacs #ELisp

@oantolin Well, I haven't used any #staticwebpage generator except my own: #lazyblorg.

The reason why I programmed my own generator was that I could not get the features I wanted to have anywhere else:

- blog posts anywhere I like them: among my tasks/projects/contacts/...
- absolute minimal effort to write a post
- that includes also being able to include images with just mentioning their file name
- navigation via #tags and #TagTrees (combination of different tags - very cool!)
- different types of pages: temporal, persistent, ...
- different Atom #feeds for the users: all articles, just one tag, all articles that combine 2 tags

It just feels "home" to me.

@ctietze @oantolin I think this is pretty much it. While it is relatively easy to learn #orgmode, it is way harder to learn #elisp. I work with CS students and aspiring PhDs regularly, and most have never seen a Lisp-y language before. The CI/CD feature and documentation for Hugo are appealing. They already know that. Besides, Hugo supports Org, Asciidoc and Markdown. From my experience, people use Hugo with Markdown first, and then switch to Org because they're looking for better ways to write.

Why do I keep seeing people that use #Emacs #OrgMode with an external static website generator, usually Hugo, to make a website? Is there something wrong with the org-publish subsystem that comes with org-mode? It seems to work well to me.

Or maybe there's nothing wrong per se with org-publish, but Hugo is somehow better? I can't really imagine Hugo is more extensible than org-publish, but maybe it's better in some other way?
