svg-tag-mode VS doomemacs

That is a module that let's you replace occurances of regexes with svgs (https://github.com/rougier/svg-tag-mode)

https://github.com/rougier/svg-tag-mode is one ingredient, which makes org documents look more fancy.

You're looking for svg-tag-mode. It's on ELPA and MELPA, so you should be able to just use-package one of those (don't forget to package-refresh-contents).

tag looks like from https://github.com/rougier/svg-tag-mode/tree/07640c97a1dcc305010a384fffdaa7788c342da7

I agree, that's a really great example. It would be even more natural for tags in org-mode, which already supports drawing tags away from the text itself to a far-right column, but they really could be moved in the other direction to the left of a hairline next to the bullets, and they'd be more readable.

BTW, Nicolas has a lot of interesting packages exploring use of graphical design elements in Emacs apart from the Nano Emacs stuff; for example, there's https://github.com/rougier/svg-tag-mode. I love how he chooses to represent dates and dates with times attached, and to distinguish active vs. inactive dates with shading rather than "[" and "<". That actually makes it easier to spot a common org-mode mistake without having to call up the agenda.

It's here: https://github.com/rougier/svg-tag-mode/blob/main/examples/example-2.el (just evaluate the whole buffer)

Specifically this is the one: https://github.com/rougier/svg-tag-mode

Yes, you need to install Emacs. It is probably available from whatever package manager your system uses.

I prefer Doom (https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs) to Spacemacs. However I haven't looked at Spacemacs for many years; perhaps it's now on par with Doom.

Ever since I've started my Emacs journey it seemed like the wholy grail to have your own (vanilla!) configuration without any hard dependencies on frameworks like Doom or Spacemacs. There are plenty of dotemacs configurations ouf there which can serve as a great source of inspiration.

Use doomemacs for a start. It really optimizes startup time and offers vast included modules as well as great package management. https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/blob/master/docs/gett...

I installed Corfu using this PR in doom https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/pull/7002

The doom documentation does a pretty good job of walking you through this: - https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/blob/master/docs/getting_started.org - https://noelwelsh.com/posts/doom-emacs/

I was poking around and opened up the README.org file in the Doom Emac's faust module and i saw these nifty nagivation things that weren't coming form within the file. I didn't see anything in the directory that hinted at it (to me) either.

I tried this code: $ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs ~/.config/emacs ~/.config/emacs/bin/doom install

I am a long-time Emacs user and used to maintain my own config, but I switched to Doom Emacs [1] a year ago. Doom Emacs is like a pre-packaged/pre-configured emacs distro. You still need to configure the features that you want to use, but it's a lot easier (and faster) than having to do everything from scratch, and definitely if you already have some emacs background anyway. For me, it makes the newer, more advanced, features more accessible. Since switching, I started to use Emacs more again.
