I want to enable line numbering in emacs - as is vi, which we use exclusively at work (my boss removed emacs from all the machines in the department.)
In vi you just use :set nu - the is a site that explains that this is possible [URL]
It describes a linenum.el - and I can see the program, but don't understand how to install it.
How can I set indent in .emacs to enable my new line starts from the same position of previous line?
like this;
Hello world <enter>
Second Hello world // "S" starts right under first line's "H"
My mouse wheel scrolls 3 lines at a time !
I tried this, it didn't succeed.
When using the pr command for formatting simple text files for printing, page numbers are included in the header by default. I figured out how to remove the date from the header (pr -D ""), and how to remove the title (pr -h ""), but for the life of me I can't figure out how to remove page numbering from the header. Anybody know how/if this can be accomplished?

I am working on a literature project, and my school rules say to put the abstract in twice, both in Norwegian and English.
I have gotten LaTeX to accept this, but the page numbering is not good. it seems that I get this order (page numbers in ()
titlepage
Norwegian abstract(I)
blank page (II)
English abstract(I)

I used this command to merge a book I downloaded by chapters into a single file (I'm putting it here so I don't forget : )
Code:
gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=book.pdf 0*.pdf
As you know, many (or most?) books number the first pages using roman numbers, so in the pdf the page #1 is actually the logical page #12.
Also, the combined file doesn't have a logical index (section, subsection, etc.) showing in okular or evince.
Since I have many pdfs in similar condition I was wondering if there's a way to change the numbering to make the first "n" pages use logical roman numbers and add a logical index.
I have a .doc file. The Table on Contents has Roman Numerals as well as the footing. The Table of Contents is linked to the pages and headings. How do I change these to a different numbering system: 1,2,3,? The format is A4 and I want to convert it to letter. Can I do this and keep the links in the TOC to the pages and headings?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble getting a system to boot. Specifically, I think the MBR is trashed and I don't know how to repair it. I'm scared to experiment The system has a PATA DVD drive, a SATA drive via a motherboard connector and two 3ware RAID controllers. I can boot systems from the DVD drive but when I try to boot from the hard drive grub says Error 2 (which is a stage 1.5 error, I think).
The m/b SATA drive has both a 10.3 and an 11.1 system installed, on partions 2 and 3 respectively. Partition 1 is a swap partition. The RAID arrays are whole-disk LVM systems containing data. I want to run the 10.3 system. The BIOS is set to boot from the DVD then the m/b SATA, and NOT to boot from the RAIDs. Two issues worry me: grub's disk numbering and grub version dependency. If I boot into the rescue system on the 10.3 install DVD it shows the partitioned disk as /dev/sda. If I boot into the rescue system on the 11.1 install DVD it shows the partitioned disk as /dev/sdc. I suppose that means something in the kernel changed?
If I run grub in the 11.1 rescue system, I can say "find /boot/grub/menu.lst" and it reports two files on (hd2,1) and (hd2,2). If I run grub in the 10.3 rescue system it says error 15 file not found.I'm scared to use 11.1 grub to setup hd2 because when I've tried previously I've managed to overwrite the LVM metadata on one of the RAID arrays. Is there some way I might get the find command in the 10.3 grub to work? Or is there some way to test what the 11.1 grub will do that is non-destructive.

when using the "convert' command is there a way to start the numbering at 22 or 47 instead of 0.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently interested in switching from vim to emacs.One of the more compelling reasons for this is the smooth integration with a unix environment. The most experienced emacs users I have seen have a bash prompt at the bottom of their window, with stdout going to a buffer right above it. They then interact with the output of programs such as grep in interesting ways.I am on Ubuntu 10.04 and the default emacs environment does not seem to do much for me in the way of integration. For example, in the M-x shell mode, output from basic commands like ls produce lots of strange characters and hitting the up arrow does not go to previous commands.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am doing some project work and for that using the server at college with ssh connection. Every time I try to open emacs on the terminal after connecting, it opens emacs in the terminal itself i.e. not its own window. On my laptop on which ubuntu is installed, emacs always opens up in its own window an thats how I am used to it. There are several problems when it opens in the terminal like when I try to use commands such as M-V, actually terminal's view menu opens up, its very frustrating. Also I am pretty sure that the college server runs on red hat and has X installed on it. So what do I need to do to get my emacs window back.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe facilities offered by any text editor to look for a string are highly superior to those offered by search engines such as that of Google or the one used by LQ>Search. To only speak of the most one elementary that comes to my mind, you can reach 'john smith' by searching with the string 'hn smi' in any decente editor, but I know of no search engine that offers this feature.
On the other hand, I have always heard of the power of Vim and Emacs. For instance, they say there is no thing Emacs cannot do. Lets advocate to the job of adding Google searches the ability to find 'john smith' by using 'hn smi' as the matching pattern. Or to add regular expression capabilities. Could I use Vim/Emacs to solve this problem?
A little light into the meaning of my words: It would be Vim/Emacs the one in charge of making the Internet connection, connecting to Google and send appropriate commands go Google. Then, to look for my string, I would be directly using Vim/Emacs which, upon receiving my commands, would send the appropriate ones to Google and return control to me.
I want to copy 100 rows from the openoffice calc file to a txt file opened in emacs at console mode, and I can't do it correctly.
I've open an openoffice cal file, and I select all rows and do copy. I've a txt file opened in emacs console. When I do paste, it will only be pasted 25 rows, and not all.
I don't know what the problem is. I ssh on to a linux machine and
setenv DISPLAY mylocalhostname:0
emacs temp.temp
Emacs: Cannot connect to X server mylocalhostname:0.
Check the DISPLAY environment variable or use `-d'.
Also use the 'xhost' program to verify that it is set to permit connections from your machine.
If i type '{' and hit Enter emacs will automatically put '}'. How can i do this?

Uzbl uses hjkl for moving around, much like vim does.
