Setting up KOMA-Script for use in Emacs org-mode
I have Linux Mint and want to use KOMA-Script in Emacs org-mode. When running a simple sample template from [here](https://ridaayed.com/posts/writing-letters-in-org-mode/#create-the-yasnippets-template) it generates a number of errors, particularly `"Unknown LaTeX Class 'default-koma-letter'"`.

I have Linux Mint and want to use KOMA-Script in Emacs org-mode. When running a
simple sample template from [here](https://ridaayed.com/posts/writing-letters-in-org-mode/#create-the-yasnippets-template) it generates a number of errors,
particularly
"Unknown LaTeX Class 'default-koma-letter'". I have
already posted this to the Emacs community (see [here](https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/81430/setting-up-koma-script)) , but was
referred to this exchange, as it likely has to do with my TeX Live set
up. I have the following version of TeX Live installed:
"pdfTeX 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.22 (TeX Live 2022/dev/Debian)
kpathsea version 6.3.4/dev"sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-recommended,
which produced the following output:
texlive-latex-recommended is already the newest version (2021.20220204-1).
texlive-latex-recommended set to manually installed.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
libwpe-1.0-1 libwpebackend-fdo-1.0-1 linux-headers-5.15.0-91
linux-headers-5.15.0-91-generic linux-headers-5.15.0-92
linux-headers-5.15.0-92-generic linux-headers-5.15.0-97
linux-headers-5.15.0-97-generic linux-image-5.15.0-91-generic
linux-image-5.15.0-92-generic linux-image-5.15.0-97-generic
linux-modules-5.15.0-91-generic linux-modules-5.15.0-92-generic
linux-modules-5.15.0-97-generic linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-91-generic
linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-92-generic linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-97-generic
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 21 not upgraded.sudo apt autoremove, as suggested by the
terminal, or is this likely to corrupt my TeX Live installation? Any help and prompters would be much appreciated - I am still new to this world!

Do shells have a command equivalent of the "|" pipe symbol? I need something like that in Emacs org-mode tables
I like to construct commands which use the `|` pipe symbol in org tables and `|` symbol messes them up. Do bash et al have a text command that is the equivalent of the symbol? Are there alternative ways of constructing the commands without using the pipe symbol?

EasyPG always asks to pick a gpg key even though epa-file-encrypt-to is set
I want emacs to use one specific key for encryption files. So, when I make a `*.org.gpg` file and save it, `easypg` should automatically transparently take the key and encrypt a buffer.

I want emacs to use one specific key for encryption files. So, when I make a
*.org.gpg file and save it, easypg should automatically transparently take the key and encrypt a buffer.
Instead, it asks me to pick a key that would be used. Every time I save a new file.
But if close a buffer and open it again the system starts to work properly. I've put the value for the epa-file-encrypt-to variable
* [this is how it looks](https://paste.debian.net/1267258/) for newly created buffer, and
* [this is how it looks](https://paste.debian.net/1267259/) for closed/opened buffer
You see,it's the same. But behavior is different. What do I miss?

Configuring Org-mode to open PDFs with evince

How to extract function comment using sed?

I want to implement a simple utility that would take a C source file and a name of a function, struct, enum or whatever and output the comment directly above the element if present.
Ie.
/* This is a doc comment
* I want this comment extracted
*/
void function_foo(){
}
Usage:
utility file.c function_foo
Output:
This is a doc comment
I want this comment extracted
The use case for this is that I want to use org-babel in emacs to tangle in documentation for functions right out of source files. Maybe there is a doxygen tool or clang tool that can do this? I just haven't found it yet. The end result would be that I can easily keep up to date documentation extracted from code directly inside my documentation org file that contains other things as well.

C-c C-e lp. When I type this in, *Org PDF LaTeX Output* buffer says :
> /bin/bash: pdflatex: command not found
But when I run $ pdflatex on my terminal the program executes.
I belive that emacs doesn't login in bash, and as a result it doesn't have acces to my $PATH variable.
Do you have any idea how I can fix this.
Thanks in advance.

Can python extract org-mode tables from org documents?
I'm trying to write some python code that reads specified tables in [org mode][1] documents. For example, I have a file `~/foo.org` $ cat ~/foo.org #+Title: Example Org Document * Section One Proin quam nisl, tincidunt et, mattis eget, convallis nec, purus. #+TBLNAME: table1 | i | want | python | to...
I'm trying to write some python code that reads specified tables in org mode documents. For example, I have a file
~/foo.org
$ cat ~/foo.org
#+Title: Example Org Document
* Section One
Proin quam nisl, tincidunt et, mattis eget, convallis nec, purus.
#+TBLNAME: table1
| i | want | python | to |
|-------+---------+--------+--------|
| read | this | table | only |
| 1 | 3 | 2 | 4 |
|-------+---------+--------+--------|
| i | want | the | dashed |
| lines | ignored | by | python |
#+TBLNAME: table2
| i | don't | need | python | to |
|------+-------+-------+--------+----|
| read | this | table | 9 | 8 |
| 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 |
| 2 | 1 | 0 | 22 | 17 |
If my file were less complex, say
$ cat ~/bar.org
| i | want | python | to |
| read | this | table | only |
| 1 | 3 | 2 | 4 |
| i | want | the | dashed |
| lines | ignored | by | python |
then I could read the table into python with
import csv
csv.DictReader(open('~/bar.org'), delimiter='|')
Is there any way to parse my desired table from the more complicated ~/foo.org?

I'm using
org-mode as working environment, and so far has been extremely useful.
One of the wonders of it is the versatility of exporting... I can export to LaTeX or HTML or ODT files from the same code. :-)
However, I would like to be able of writing an aling LaTeX environment and get it exported properly to HTML.
I've tried different form, but nothing!
For example: the code returns nothing
#+BEGIN_LaTeX
\begin{align}
\begin{pmatrix}
x' \\ y' \\ z'
\end{pmatrix}
=
\begin{pmatrix}
R11 & R12 & R13\\
R21 & R22 & R23\\
R31 & R32 & R33
\end{pmatrix}
\begin{pmatrix}
X \\ Y \\ Z
\end{pmatrix}
\end{align}
#+END_LaTeX
Any ideas?... Thanks!

org-mode How to link to an rmail message
I want to link to an rmail message in an org file. I know I use rmail:folder#, but how do I find the folder name and the id # number? There's plenty of information on the Internet telling me that org-mode supports linking to rmail, but I've not found any *real* examples of how to do it.

For example, say if today is 2014-09-18:

* TODO Call boss
** Report :: Nothing happened
* TODO Call Bob ; This entry will not be shown
; This entry will not be shown
; This entry will not be shown
** Discuss :: Project Alice ; This entry will not be shown
** Discuss :: Upgrading to CentOS 5 ; This entry will not be shown
* TODO Fetch Claire from school
Incidentally, are there any more efficient way to deal with calendar/timetable/todo-lists in org-mode?

However, I 'd still like to know how to ignore numeric foot notes (in the form [n]).
The org mode docs say "A plain numeric footnote marker. Compatible with footnote.el, but not recommended because something like ‘’ could easily be part of a code snippet. that". Sadly, it does not explain how to change this.

In emacs are any key sequences available for user macro bindings in all modes
I have recently started using `org mode` in emacs, but my macro bound in my initialisation file to `C-x C-k T` no longer works because this combination is used by `outline mode` which underpins `org mode`.

I have recently started using
org mode in emacs, but my macro bound in my initialisation file to C-x C-k T no longer works because this combination is used by outline mode which underpins org mode. I went by "Learning Gnu Emacs" by Debra Cameron et al. pub by O'Reilly, which states on page 160 that the sequences C-x C-k with 0-9 and A-Z are reserved for user macro bindings. This itself is contradicted, I have just noticed, on page 193, where, in outline mode, C-c C-k is bound to Show -> Show branches.
So, please, are there any key sequences that are available still, and will be in all circumstances?
I have left out the detail of my macro because it is irrelevant to this question.
---
I have left the original question as it is to explain my mistake. Thanks to @Gilles I realise that I made a silly mistake in confusing C-c with C-x. The problem manifested itself in that using .org mode seemed to redefine my key bindings. This I have now resolved by using C-x instead of C-c . Macros bound to these still work in .org mode
As to the question of what key sequence bindings are available, see:
. This is part of an excellent and comprehensive set of articles on emacs by "Xah", available at: , and well worth the $15 he asks for them.
This is almost an answer rather than an extension to my question. I have put it here to retain my acceptance of @Gilles earlier answer, and as it is too long for a comment
