Just a quickie today. Recently, someone tweeted a link to Mike Hamrick’s terrific video on making consistent documents with Emacs and Org-mode. I’ve written about the video before but having rewatched it, I decided that it was worth revisiting. There’s a boatload of good ideas and information in the video and you should definitely watch it even if you’ve already seen it.
Two of the really excellent things Hamrick discusses are Fabrice Niessen’s CSS for exporting an Org document into beautiful HTML and the use of a utility file for functions that can be called from the Org document. The last is really useful for functions that you don’t want to include in the document itself but just use to produce some text for the document.
There are links to all the code and Hamrick’s configuration in case you want to import his ideas directly into your workflow. If you’re using Org-mode to write any sort of document, you really need to take a look at this video.
