emacs org mode
==============

Overview
--------

So there are two basic things that are useful about org mode:

1.  bullets are collapsible which makes it really easy to organize shit
    and move it around collapsible items rule!
2.  TODO items have a lot of functionality

so, my goal is actually to take projex~demo~.org and make it something
that is formatted in org mode, and the **reason** for that is that then
we can export it using pandoc with clean html (which we can add a
loittle styling etc) .. . once we have a format established, we can
loosely require people to add to pads in that format so that chhanges
can be git pushed and incorportated into the html. You can see an
example of what the raw html looks like here:
<https://irc.anarchyplanet.org/dox/org.html>

### Bullets

-   headings are organized with \*
    -   M-&lt;enter&gt; to add new heading
    -   M-&lt;left&gt; or M-&lt;right&gt; to promote / demote heading
-   TAB to expand/collapse trees

### TODOs

TODOs are actually probably not that relevant for projex because it's
more for internal use ... maybe.

1.  DONE demo emacs org mode to data

2.  DONE enable line wrap as default

3.  TODO re-write projex in org mode style

    -   projex~demo~.org is the test run of this.

    <!-- -->

    -   C-c C-t to cycle through todo-done
    -   You can add more options by adding \#+TODO: TODO ONHOLD | DONE
        to the top of the page (requires restart)

### links

-   link structure: \[ \[link\]\[desc\] \] (but without the spaces)
-   [file](test.org) C-c C-o to open at point this creates a
    split buffer. C-x o to switch between split buffers, C-x 1 to return
    the buffer to a single one.

### code syntax highlighting and evaluation

emacs provides support for lots of languages and you can start an
interpreter and run code with C-c C-c (evaluate buffer)

You can also do code blocks and tangle / weave for literate programming.

My friend always used indent region and it was impressingly fast

### IRC

how can i restart and save session? (keep buffers)

there's M-x revert-buffer or you can turn auto-revert-mode on so it will
reload every time the file changes. I've never used the second... rarely
the first, I always just close :P so i don't need to save it? it
members? no, you would have to save it. I always just do C-x C-c (closes
all buffers) and save them all. I blieve if you try to revert-buffer it
will prompt you to save. Do i do this after restarting or before? C-c
C-s saves all buffers, C-c C-c exits.

M-x package-install circe &lt;enter&gt; M-x circe &lt;enter&gt; Can i
set a socks proxy? I am not sure... I don't understand all that v. well.

last year i read an article/list post how outdated emacs' networking is
and RMS agreed. i think the thread went viral ..

could be!
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19699294/make-emacs-access-to-https-over-socks-proxy>

I was just gonna paste this :P

how do i get into config mode?

do you mean the customize emacs thing?

to set socks-noproxy or socks-server. the config file ..

the config file is at \~/.emacs you can also change \~/.emacs.d/init.el

Thanks, i changed my mind and prefer to keep my sanity!

re: tor: we should use it for w3m tho, yah?

sure, always. :) does emacs mind if we take aways some sycalls from it?

### useful things overview

So there are two basic things that are useful about org mode:

1.  bullets are collapsible which makes it really easy to organize shit
    and move it around collapsible items rule!
2.  TODO items have a lot of functionality

The goal is to take projex~demo~.org (another file in this directory)
and format it into org mode. The **reason** is that then we can export
it using pandoc with clean html (which we can add a loittle styling etc)
.. . once we have a format established, we can loosely require people to
add to pads in that format so that chhanges can be git pushed and
incorportated into the html. You can see an example of what the raw html
looks like here: <https://irc.anarchyplanet.org/dox/org.html>

(I think it's a good strategy to hit enter like this when we're done
typing :) )

### Switching between emacs 'buffers' (where different documents are open in the same emacs instance)

-   to open projex~demo~.org: C-x C-f and then start typing proj and
    then TAB (for autocomplete)

-   use C-x &lt;left&gt; and use C-x &lt;right&gt; to switch
    between buffers.

### making bullets

So, I guess my first question is about how I make the bullets?

1.  like this

    1.  this is a sub-level

        Ok I'll give that a shot

        So to "attach" the bullet to the text under it, do I just add
        asterisks to the text?

        like this:

2.  Bullet

    This is the text under it!

    Damn that's east's easy :)

    yeah! and, you can do it with all kinds of list items, and it's also
    especially useful when you have long passages of text that you can
    just hide by pressing TAB.

    Perfect :) So, I might try to just "bullet" this conversation. So I
    think what I did there makes sense in terms of how I organized that?

    YEAH! One more thing:

    to make new bullets you can do ALT-enter (ALT is known as M ,
    so M-&lt;enter&gt;)

3.  bullet1

4.  bullet 3

5.  bullet 2

6.  bullet 4

    and then, to change the order, you can use M-&lt;up&gt; and
    M-&lt;down&gt; ... to promote you can use M-&lt;left&gt; and
    M-&lt;right&gt; (but this gets more complicated when you have
    sub-trees, so we'll worry about that layter beucause that's what I'm
    having problems with re; my keybindings)

    Note for noobs: You have to have the cursor under the bullet tomove
    your text, not the text itself.
