A wgrep Demonstration
Xah Lee has a post recommending wgrep, an Emacs extension that allows you to edit the results of grep and have the results reflected in the original file(s). This is good stuff. Although he didn’t write wgrep, Magnar Sveen demonstrates … Continue reading

Emacs Rocks Episode 12
Magnar Sveen has Episode 12 of Emacs Rocks up. This time it’s about editing HTML. As usual, Sveen demonstrates some nifty tricks to make editing easier. Some of them use standard Emacs functionality and others extensions that he has written. … Continue reading
The Vim Horror
