Hi all,
First, I wanted to say thanks to Carsten and the community here for
org-mode. I'm a graduate student in Chinese literature and after trying
out many outliners and information management systems I've settled very
happily on org-mode and found it to be amazingly useful and especially
well-documented.
I wanted to post a snippet of code I've been using because I haven't
read through the entire org-mode source, haven't ever written emacs
extensions before, and would love to know if there is an easier or
more idiomatic way of doing the following.
I usually create a glossary with radio targets at the end of a project,
allowing me to quickly see autolinks from any other text I might be
working on. Sometimes I want to do the opposite: from a radio target or
link, cycle through all the places in the text that are autolinked to
the same target. The code below does a sparse tree and then, since I
often have lots of occurences spread over more than a page, lets you
cycle forward and back through the actual occurences.
I would love if someone could let me know any defects or infelicities
with my method.
Thanks,
Adam
