Original Response:
I was trying to figure out how in auctex mode latex doesn't seem to highlight any latex functions with flyspell turned on. Is this a custom dictionary file or how is this implemented? Can this be easily incorporated into an org-mode file so it doesn't highlight inserted latex code that will get exported.
Edit:
Simple example taken from top of file and in the text. Basically so latex syntax like ref or label inside {} won't be spell checked (this has been fixed by using (setq ispell-parser tex). Then also setting up a function that specific labels with #+ as the first text on the line won't be checked. I would want the caption checked but not #+LABEL: or #+TYP_TODO: (not shown. Also a way to add TODO keywords to not get checked. I can think of a way to do this is on startup add these to the LOCALWORDS: ispell places at the bottom of the file if not already there but is there an easier or better way to do this.
#+TAGS: NOTE REPORT export noexport MEETING
#+TYP_TODO: TODO Weekly WAITING NEXT | Meeting DONE
#+STARTUP: hidestars content hideblocks
The exponential running mean is shown for various alpha values in Figure \ref{fig:saturation_varying_alphaval_00f6set2}.
#+CAPTION: Plot of varying alpha values for the exponential running mean ($EM$) with $S_{min} = 0.0008 \text{ and } P_m = 0.20$
#+LABEL: fig:saturation_varying_alphaval_00f6set2

flyspell internally uses ispell-mode. To change the way that ispell parses files set the variable ispell-parser to 'tex.
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda () (setq ispell-parser 'tex)))
Most likely auctex is using flyspell-mode-predicate to define what portions of the buffer shouldn't be spellchecked. (This answer shows how to do something similar for MoinMoinWiki.) org-mode already has such a function, org-mode-flyspell-verify, which apparently doesn't work properly for you... A quick look at the source suggests that org-remove-flyspell-overlays-in should be called for buffer portions containing code samples etc.
Sorry about the handwavy answer; marking this as community wiki to invite improvements.

I'm currently trying to write up my thesis in emacs org-mode, and have run into some problems with file inclusions.
When I include figures with:
#+NAME: fig:banana
#+CAPTION: this is a figure caption
[[/path/to/image.png]]
(or using a pdf) it works fine. But when I insert another image, it is somehow moved to the end of the file instead of being inserted where it is called.
My pdf-export process (in my ~/.emacs file) looks like this:
(setq org-latex-pdf-process
'("latexmk -pdflatex='pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode' -pdf -bibtex -f %f"))
Any ideas on how to fix this?
A friend of mine pointed me to the LaTex package placeins.
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{placeins}
* section 1
** hi!
#+TITLE: fig:banana
#+CAPTION: this is a banana figure
[[/link/to/banana.png]]
\FloatBarrier
* section 2
The FloatBarrier stops floats (figures are floats) from jumping over them. I will need to look into passing [tbh] options to figures from org mode further.
Check the org-mode manual on how to pass placement options such as [h], [t] etc. to theLaTeX compiler.
If you're not sure how to control where figures (more precisely, floats) get placed by LaTeX, please refer to any introduction.
Or do you want the figure to be placed where you include it? If so, you might not need it to be a float.
I have just started using org-mode and it looks awesome. The only issue that I have so far is that when I write a text in mathmode ($...$) it appears in the standard-text font color.
So, I would like to make org-mode to identify the mathmode text and be able to present it in some other color. Note that I don't need to change the color of the actual equation, just the source text in org-mode.
Here is an example of how the text is currently presented
A paper by Rohnert, titled "Moving a disc between polygons" introduces
a structure using which one can generate a solution (path) for
a given query in $O(\log n) + k$ time.
and how I would like it to look
A paper by Rohnert, titled "Moving a disc between polygons" introduces
a structure using which one can generate a solution (path) for
a given query in $O(\log n) + k$ time.
(Note that I would prefer to display in some given color, e.g. red, and not bold face.)
In Emacs version 24.4 and later, this is controlled via the variable org-highlight-latex-and-related:
Non-nil means highlight LaTeX related syntax in the buffer. When non
nil, the value should be a list containing any of the following
symbols:
`latex' Highlight LaTeX snippets and environments.
`script' Highlight subscript and superscript.
`entities' Highlight entities.
So something like
(eval-after-load 'org
'(setf org-highlight-latex-and-related '(latex)))
in your init should help. Such code is formatted according to the face org-latex-and-related.
In earlier versions, the variable org-highlight-latex-fragments-and-specials, which is a simpler nil / non-nil variable:
(eval-after-load 'org
'(setf org-highlight-latex-fragments-and-specials t))
In this case, the face org-latex-and-export-specials is used.
In text, can I make org-mode ignore forward slashes somehow? Phonetics uses /s/ to denote a certain level of analysis.
I assume that you do not want the text to appear emphasized in the buffer, nor in the output. This is a slightly more complex answer which will achieve that result:
There is a variable defined by Org-mode called org-emphasis-alist which defines the different emphasis modes, what their plain-text syntaxes are, and how they are exported to HTML. You can achieve the result you want by changing the value of this variable before Org-mode has been loaded. That last part is critical so note it well—Org-mode reads the value of org-emphasis-alist when it is loaded and uses that value to generate a regular expression for highlighting ("font-lock") purposes.
Here are two routes to that:
Add the following lines to your .emacs file above the lines that load Org-mode:
(setq org-emphasis-alist
`(("*" bold "<b>" "</b>")
;; ("/" italic "<i>" "</i>")
("_" underline "<span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">" "</span>")
("=" org-code "<code>" "</code>" verbatim)
("~" org-verbatim "<code>" "</code>" verbatim)
("+" ,(if (featurep 'xemacs) 'org-table '(:strike-through t))
"<del>" "</del>")))
(Notice the commented out line.)
Make the change through Emacs' customization facility:
M-x customize RET
In the search box enter Org Emphasis and click Search.
Click the down arrow next to Org Emphasis Alist to reveal its value.
Find and click the second DEL button—corresponding to the italic list item.
Click the Save for future sessions button at the top of the buffer.
You can use
#+OPTIONS: *:nil
to turn off text-emphasis (bold,italics,underline). This will however only work on export itself, the emphasis will still be visible.
See the manual for other export options.
If you like the standard emphasis functionality of the forward slashes in org-mode, you could also just define a new environment. I put something like the following in the preamble whenever I do phonetics/phonology typesetting:
\newcommand\uRep[1]{$/$\textipa{#1}$/$}
The slrn newsreader has an attractive interface with different colours for the author, subject and date columns when browsing list of articles in a newsgroup. I am looking for the Emacs font/face variables for these fields in gnus, but have not been able to find them. The gnus manual for faces does not list the available faces and none of the faces list in Emacs (M-x customize-face gnus-... looks relevant. I am using gnus 5.13 in Emacs 23.2.1.
(This question is not related to displaying "faces" (icons/avatars) in Emacs or gnus.)
Solved: See my answer below.
I think they're scattered a bit in the gnus codebase. The faces used in the article buffer are probably in gnus-art.el, etc.
It sounds like your biggest problem is that there are specific faces that you can't find the symbol for. You can always do M-x describe-face to see what is under the cursor to solve that problem.
Also, (face-list) returns a list of all defined faces. You could scan that list looking for things that look like likely candidates for the particular faces you're interested in.
The format string for various elements in gnus can be customized by modifying the appropriate variable. The variable for the summary line is gnus-summary-format-line. I am not using the default value for this variable, but instead am using the value %U%R%z %(%&user-date; %-15,15f %* %B%s%)\n.
As described here, a new face can be applied to any (sub)section of a format line by bracketing the section with %1{ and %}, where the 1 in this example corresponds to gnus-face-1. gnus-face-1 in my installation defaults to "italics", so adding the following to my ~/.emacs file results in the author in the summary line appearing in italics:
(setq gnus-summary-line-format "%U%R%z %(%&user-date; %1{%-15,15f%} %* %B%s%)\n")
I go with M-x list-faces-display (which opens a new buffer with all the currently defined face variables fontified to the color that they're set to, in alphabetic order) when I want to see what faces I need to change to get a mode working.
Then I setq them, using either the format from color-theme or from the new emacs built-in theme format, depending on which version of emacs I'm in.
Is it possible to select a piece of text you're editing and change its color? I know it's possible to create a color theme that will color certain kinds of text (like for example coloring functions in a certain programming language), but is it possible to do a one time color change to a selected piece of text in a specific emacs document without creating a theme? thanks in advance.
A theme doesn't allow you to specify the color of arbitrary text in any case. It only describes a set of face to be used by font-lock.
To apply a face to an arbitrary piece of text, select the text, then M-: (add-text-properties (region-beginning) (region-end) '(face font-lock-warning-face))
See the faces section of the elisp manual on how to create a face.
Emacs also comes with the hi-lock package, which can highlight regexps or lines containing regexps. See manual
how about M-x highlight-phrase ?
I know six years is a pretty long time, but I stumbled across this question and, after a lot of research, I did not find anything nearly as objective as what I eventually dug out for myself.
To color say, the first 200 characters in your buffer, execute the command:
(put-text-property 1 200 'face (cons 'foreground-color "red"))
If you need help executing this command in emacs, here is one possibility among many:
Type ESC-x eval-expression.
Type or paste the above command in the mini-buffer after the prompt.
Press ENTER.
You might like to look at enriched-mode.
If you are in a buffer that isn't controlled by font-lock, you can use 'facemenu'.
For example, highlight a bit of text, then with the mouse, press C-mouse-2. You can then select a face (some combination of text properties with a name). You can also pick random forground or background colors.
If you Emacs is particularly old, I seem to remember something similar on M-g.
Try set-background-color, set-foreground-color, set-cursor-color.
Changes won't be saved with the document though.
Note:
When I try those functions, they don't set the region's color unless I go through the menus.
See http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/HighlightTemporarily (and it need not be temporary).
You can "color" text by swiping it with the mouse, or matching it with a regexp, and several other ways. Library highlight.el, in particular, lets you "color" text in many ways.
