org-transclusion VS zetteldesk.el

nobiot/org-transclusion: Emacs package to enable transclusion with Org Mode

There is nobiot/org-transclusion, but i haven't tried it personally.

This is it: https://github.com/nobiot/org-transclusion

As wWA5R... already noted, you can structure large org files with headings and subheadings, where each heading can be handled as an own note. But addtionally, you can export org files a html document or as latex document. There exists also a emacs package which is called transclution (https://nobiot.github.io/org-transclusion/) which makes it possible to construct a new org file out of snipped of other org files. So you can create a new document by combining several peace of other documents. The package/project HyperOrg I didn't know, this seems really interesting for publish the whole org-roam data (thanks a lot for mentioning it @wWA5R...!).

Since I started Uni, I've taken my notes in separate .org files, one per subject. This is ok, but it doesn't allow me to link concepts across subjects. At the same time, I don't think graphs are easy to navigate linearly, which is something I need for revision. I wish to be able to, when necessary, read all nodes in a single file, either by exporting the nodes or by having them all in one file to begin with. Reading the documentation, I haven't seen how to do it. I considered using packages like org-transclusion but I don't think that's the most efficient way. Does anybody know of a configuration to use or have any suggestions?

I found out about org-transclusion and hacked together something that works (feedback is more than welcome).

After finding out about org-transclusion I hacked up the following. As I'm not very experienced with elisp/orgmode/org-roam I'd love some feedback. I'm particularly interested in shortening the code by using more built-in/standard functions.

If I'm understanding your use-case correctly, I think you should look at org-transclusion

For publishing stuff, Emacs has a very rich ecosystem. Org-export libraries are very powerful and allow you to export to virtually any format you desire. There is also org-publish for publishing your work, which works very well. However, when you have a bunch of org-roam nodes, it is not so easy to export all of them. I have personally created a tool for gathering a lot of your org-roam nodes in one file, your so-called "desktop" which can be used for revision of topics, writing manuscripts for articles or just straight up publishing your notes. You can find it here.

Hey, this is a bit of a self plug, but since I had the exact same problem with you, I am pretty sure I have exactly what you are looking for. Last year, I wrote zetteldesk.el and one of its core functionalities is exactly collecting a set of org-roam nodes and adding them to a buffer in a specific order so you can revise them as you like.

If your problems are just filtering and sorting your notes, then you should have no trouble. You can even insert them in a temporary buffer and view them all simultaneously. Albeit completely unrelated to daily notes, I recently wrote a package to solve this exact problem you describe, but instead of daily notes, I wanted to filter an arbitrary selection of notes. You can check it out here, the source might give you some inspiration for how to do what you want. Ripgrep is an excellent tool for searching your notes, but what you are asking for isn't really its use case I feel, you want more of a filter, not a search tool.

Not sure what you mean on the first one. The second one's easiest solution is probably org-transclusion as what you're asking is to translude notes. But other packages with a similar concept of collecting your notes and adding them in a separate buffer are things such as delve or (shameless self plug) zetteldesk. I got no clue how to do the third one. I agree with you on that todos should work in more places, but I also don't know how to fix it. For the one with the calendar, I am pretty sure calfw has an extension that does that. I think calfw-org?

Last week, I released my new emacs package zetteldesk.el and made a post here for showcasing it. The idea was rather well accepted but I got a lot of feedback, that the README was too dense in information and it was hard for a new user to try it. I have tried fixing this, by integrating gifs for demonstrations instead of the raw info (which I moved to the wiki for anyone wanting it), adding a set of default bindings in the form of a hydra and a small sample config to get you started.
