  • Beautifying Org Mode in Emacs (2018)
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Apr 2024
    My main authoring tool is then Emacs Markdown Mode (https://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/). For data entry, it comes with some bells and whistles similar to org-mode, like C-c C-l for inserting links etc.

    I seldom export my notes for external usage, but if it is the case, I use lowdown (https://kristaps.bsd.lv/lowdown/) which also comes with some nice output targets (among the more unusual are Groff and Terminal). Of cource pandoc (https://pandoc.org/) does a very good job here, too.

  • Note taking in markdown?
    6 projects | /r/emacs | 7 Feb 2023
    There is markdown-mode if you really prefer it over org. I use it to read markdown files sent by colleagues. It's very powerful, and very well documented, though honestly I don't use much of it's functionality. I use it mainly for it's ability to hide the markup (much like org) and follow hyperlinks.

  • Good Text Editor with an Auto-save Feature
    3 projects | /r/freesoftware | 2 Jul 2022
    Emacs makes autosaves by default and supports markdown-mode. Usually though it's nicer to put them in a central location by setting backup-directory-alist instead of the default behavior of putting them in directory you're working in of the original file. I stuff them into a directory ~/.saves with (setq backup-directory-alist(("." . "~/.saves")))`.

    You might wish to install the Markdown Mode package. If don't want to do that for some reason, you can tell Emacs that files with names ending in ".md" should be opened in Text Mode by doing something like
