15.10.1 Packages that Org cooperates with
-----------------------------------------
‘calc.el’ by Dave Gillespie
Org uses the Calc package for implementing spreadsheet
functionality in its tables (
The spreadsheet). Org checks
for the availability of Calc by looking for the function
‘calc-eval’ which will have been autoloaded during setup if Calc
has been installed properly. As of Emacs 22, Calc is part of the
Emacs distribution. Another possibility for interaction between
the two packages is using Calc for embedded calculations.
Embedded Mode (calc)Embedded Mode.
‘constants.el’ by Carsten Dominik
In a table formula (The spreadsheet), it is possible to use
names for natural constants or units. Instead of defining your own
constants in the variable ‘org-table-formula-constants’, install
the ‘constants’ package which defines a large number of constants
and units, and lets you use unit prefixes like ‘M’ for ‘Mega’, etc.
You will need version 2.0 of this package, available at
<http://www.astro.uva.nl/~dominik/Tools>. Org checks for the
function ‘constants-get’, which has to be autoloaded in your setup.
See the installation instructions in the file ‘constants.el’.
‘cdlatex.el’ by Carsten Dominik
Org mode can make use of the CDLaTeX package to efficiently enter
LaTeX fragments into Org files. See CDLaTeX mode.
‘imenu.el’ by Ake Stenhoff and Lars Lindberg
Imenu allows menu access to an index of items in a file. Org mode
supports Imenu—all you need to do to get the index is the
following:
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook
(lambda () (imenu-add-to-menubar "Imenu")))
By default the index is two levels deep—you can modify the depth
using the option ‘org-imenu-depth’.
‘remember.el’ by John Wiegley
Org used to use this package for capture, but no longer does.
‘speedbar.el’ by Eric M. Ludlam
Speedbar is a package that creates a special frame displaying files
and index items in files. Org mode supports Speedbar and allows
you to drill into Org files directly from the Speedbar. It also
allows you to restrict the scope of agenda commands to a file or a
subtree by using the command ‘<’ in the Speedbar frame.
‘table.el’ by Takaaki Ota
Complex ASCII tables with automatic line wrapping, column- and
row-spanning, and alignment can be created using the Emacs table
package by Takaaki Ota (<http://sourceforge.net/projects/table>,
and also part of Emacs 22). Org mode will recognize these tables
and export them properly. Because of interference with other Org
mode functionality, you unfortunately cannot edit these tables
directly in the buffer. Instead, you need to use the command ‘C-c
'’ to edit them, similar to source code snippets.
‘C-c ' (org-edit-special)’
Edit a ‘table.el’ table. Works when the cursor is in a
table.el table.
‘C-c ~ (org-table-create-with-table.el)’
Insert a ‘table.el’ table. If there is already a table at
point, this command converts it between the ‘table.el’ format
and the Org mode format. See the documentation string of the
command ‘org-convert-table’ for the restrictions under which
this is possible.
‘table.el’ is part of Emacs since Emacs 22.
‘footnote.el’ by Steven L. Baur
Org mode recognizes numerical footnotes as provided by this
package. However, Org mode also has its own footnote support
(Footnotes), which makes using ‘footnote.el’ unnecessary.
