Hi All,
I'd like to let you know about issues I'm having while trying to put source
code blocks within lists.
Here's my example and how I indent it:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* First situation
- My first bullet
We need to do this:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(message "this is a string")
(defun x()
"Doc..."
(interactive)
(message "hello"))
#+end_src
- My second bullet
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
"test"
#+end_src
#+results:
: test
- Sub-point of second bullet
We need to do this as well:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(sort)
#+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This way if indenting code blocks has the following advantages:
- it looks nice;
- thanks to the indentation, you directly know at which list level the code
block belongs to;
- you can easily use Emacs commands (like `C-x TAB') on regions or Org
promote/demote commands on items or subtrees to edit and reorganize your
text: "relative" indentation is preserved in all cases.
But, I have 2 issues with it:
- when using `C-c '' (`org-edit-special'), I see spaces before my code, while
I would expect to see my code starting at column 0 in the edit buffer (the
"reference" column for the "margin" being, here, the column with the '#'
from '#+begin_src';
- when exporting, the spaces from column 0 to the start of my code are also
exported, while I would again expect these spaces to be ignored for the
export.
The only way I found to fix these issues is to edit my text like this (and
make any code to start in column 0):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
- My first bullet
We need to do this:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(message "this is a string")
(defun x()
"Doc..."
(interactive)
(message "hello"))
#+end_src
- My second bullet
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
"test"
#+end_src
#+results:
: test
- Sub-point of second bullet
We need to do this as well:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(sort)
#+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But:
- as you can see, the text does not look anymore as nice as in the previous
example;
- I'm no longer able to edit and reorganize the text using Emacs `C-x TAB'
command. That command becomes "forbidden" as it can't correctly respect the
indentation requirements:
+ starting at column 0 for code;
+ relative for list items (depending on their depth);
- even Org promote/demote commands are buggy in this case: as a simple
example, when I try to promote (with M-Shift-Left) the last point "Sub-point
of second bullet" I get an error ("indent-line-to: Wrong type argument:
wholenump, -2" ) and the following half-baked result:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
- Sub-point of second bullet
We need to do this:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(sort)
#+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The "#+end_src" line got misaligned.
So, my question is the following: is there a way to edit my text as shown in
the first example and edit/export it ignoring the "margin" spaces?
Any help is welcome.
Thanks a lot,
Francesco
