Although I\u2019m late to the party with this post, the video is interesting enough that I felt it was worth writing about.<\/p>\n<p>Although Prot mostly restricts himself to Org mode markup, he does his usual comprehensive coverage of the material. He starts with explaining the emphasis markers (<b>bold<\/b>, <i>italics<\/i>, etc.) and gives an excellent explanation of the difference between <code>verbatum<\/code> and <code>code<\/code>. Although these both render the same in every export format I know of, it\u2019s perfectly reasonable that some new exporter could render them differently.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the rest of the video considers optimal ways of entering text in an Org buffer. He starts with headings and shows how to add additional headers at the same or lower levels, mark them as TODO items, and how to promote and demote a heading\u2019s level. One of the most interesting things that I learned about was <code>org-indent-mode<\/code>. It provides a virtual display of an Org buffer in which headings, subheadings, lists, sublists, and other constructs are indented according to their level. The underlying file is unchanged so the exporters don\u2019t get confused by manually added indentation. Although Prot doesn\u2019t mention it, you can make the mode persist by adding <code>indent<\/code> to the <code>#+STARTUP<\/code> keyword in the header.<\/p>\n<p>As with all of Prot\u2019s videos, this one is well worth your time. You\u2019ll probably learn a thing or two even if you\u2019re already familiar with Org markup. The video is 48 and a half minutes so you\u2019ll need to schedule some time but it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After watching and writing about Protesilaos Stavrou\u2019s video on searching and replacing in Emacs, I went back and watched his previous video on Org mode basics.
