Doesn't work?

[alphapapa]

I was excited to use this package, but it doesn't seem to be working. I installed from MELPA and used the code in the instructions to add the hook. Then I made a headline and gave it the :TOC: tag, but when I save the file, no table of contents is created.

Currently using Emacs 24.4 and Org 8.2.4.

When I eval the code to add the hook, this shows up in *Messages*:

(toc-org-enable org-mark-readonly (lambda nil (org-bullets-mode 1)) adp/org-mode-hook #[nil "ÅÆ  >ƒ

As you can see, there seems to be some garbage characters in there. Either Emacs wouldn't copy it all to the clipboard, or Firefox wouldn't paste it all here. :/

Hey!

That's pretty awkward. I didn't make any changes for quite some time

Let's try to make a "clean" experiment.

1. Put

(eval-after-load "toc-org-autoloads"
    '(progn
       (if (require 'toc-org nil t)
           (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'toc-org-enable)
         (message "WARNING: toc-org not found"))))

into your .emacs

2. Restart Emacs
3. Open a file in org-mode, say hello.org.
4. Make sure that the major mode is, in fact, org-mode. You can use F1 m for that
5. Make sure org-mode-hook contains toc-org-enable function. You can use F1 v org-mode-hook for that.
6. Type

* Hi
* Hello
* Good-bye

1. Save the file. Nothing should happen
2. Change the contents to

* Hi
* Hello :TOC:
* Good-bye

1. Save the file. The contents should change to

* Hi
* Hello :TOC:
 - [[#hi][Hi]]
 - [[#good-bye][Good-bye]]

* Good-bye

Please, let me know if it works.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response!

I ran your tests exactly as you described, and it did indeed work fine! So then I opened the file I tried to add a TOC to before...and it doesn't work. When I save the file, the :TOC: heading doesn't change at all.

I'm guessing that there must be something in the file itself that is causing the problem...and, yes, I just found it. When I remove this heading from the file, it works:

Here's an example of what you get in Emacs from capturing [[http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2014/07/17/Pandoc-does-org-mode-now/][this page]]:

...and then, after reverting the buffer, and leaving that headline in the file...it still works. This is very weird.

The file in question is the readme here: https://github.com/alphapapa/org-protocol-capture-html/blob/b522d32a3c48faf94bc49676e47185b94807e028/README.org Maybe you can figure out what's going on. :)

Thanks, it sure is nice when it works! :D

Thanks! I'll have a look!

Just had a look. Couldn't reproduce the issue with the provided file.

Please, let me know if this (or some other) issue is still bothering you.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm not sure what the problem was. If it happens again I'll let you know. Keep up the good work. :)
