1 Description

This layer enables org mode for Spacemacs.

1.1 Features:

1.2 BibTeX

For more extensive support of references through BibTeX files, have a look at the BibTeX layer.

1.3 Important Note

Since version 0.104, spacemacs uses the org version from the org ELPA repository instead of the one shipped with emacs. Then, any org related code should not be loaded before dotspacemacs/user-config, otherwise both versions will be loaded and will conflict.

Because of autoloading, calling to org functions will trigger the loading up of the org shipped with emacs which will induce conflicts. One way to avoid conflict is to wrap your org config code in a with-eval-after-load block like this:

(with-eval-after-load 'org
  ;; here goes your Org config :)
  ;; ....
  )

2 Install

2.1 Layer

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add org to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

2.2 Github support

To install Github related extensions like ox-gfm to export to Github flavored markdown set the variable org-enable-github-support to t.

(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
  (org :variables org-enable-github-support t)))

2.3 Gnuplot support

Org-mode support the plotting of data within tables through Gnuplot as demonstrated here; unfortunately, this is not terribly well supported on Windows at this stage. It is possible to disable the configuration of gnuplot support as usual by adding the package gnuplot to your dotspacemacs-excluded-packages variable.

2.4 Reveal.js support

To enable the export of your org file as a reveal.js presentation, set the variable org-enable-reveal-js-support to t. This will install the org-reveal extension.

(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
 '((org :variables org-enable-reveal-js-support t)))

In order to be able to use org-reveal, download reveal.js from its homepage and set org-reveal-js to the download path, as described in the manual. Alternatively, add the following line to each .org file you want to process:

#+REVEAL_ROOT: http://cdn.jsdelivr.net/reveal.js/3.0.0/

2.5 Different bullets

You can tweak the bullets displayed in the org buffer in the function dotspacemacs/user-config of your dotfile by setting the variable org-bullets-bullet-list. By default the list is set to ("◉" "○" "✸" "✿").

(setq org-bullets-bullet-list '("■" "◆" "▲" "▶"))

2.6 Project support

Set the layer variable org-projectile-file to the filename where you want to store project-specific TODOs. If this is an absolute path, all todos will be stored in the same file (organized by project), whereas if it is just a single filename, todos will be stored in each project root.

(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
  '((org :variables org-projectile-file "TODOs.org")))

The TODO files are not added to the agenda automatically. You can do this with the following snippet. Note that this may have unintended consequences until this bug is fixed.

(with-eval-after-load 'org-agenda
  (require 'org-projectile)
  (push (org-projectile:todo-files) org-agenda-files))
