#OrgMode

@zstg @thelinuxcast We should actually get rid of #Markdown. 😉

It is one of the worst lightweight markup languages you can decide for except for adaptation: it's bad with respect for learning, for typing manually and for processing.

Avoid the Markdown flavor hell and go for any other #LML that doesn't come with all the downsides.

#orgdown, the syntax of #orgmode is one of the examples where the downsides of Markdown are avoided.

Please, don't settle for a mediocre solution again.

Emacs org-mode includes the function `org-latex-preview`, which provides image overlays for LaTeX formulas in the buffer. As it turns out, it mostly works in non-org-mode buffers. It does throw warnings. I have suppressed them with this little wrapper:

```
(defun tws-latex-preview (&optional ARG)
(interactive "P")
(let ((warning-minimum-level ':error))
(org-latex-preview ARG)))
```

Not rigorously tested, but seems to work for making pretty comments in my source code.

From my Emacs config:

Stuff that should really come with org but doesn't

The more general version (and simpler) version of org-babel-demarcate-block.

(defun ECFPAW/org-demarcate ()
"Split the org block at point."
(interactive)
(let* ((case-fold-search t)
(get-line (lambda ()
(string-trim
(thing-at-point 'line t))))
(begin (save-excursion
(search-backward "#+begin")
(funcall get-line)))
(end (save-excursion
(search-forward "#+end")
(funcall get-line))))
(save-excursion
(insert (concat end "\n\n" begin "\n")))
(forward-line 2)))

I appreciate that there's a plethora of customizable Emacs themes I can install and use. I've tried a couple, they look nice especially when working with code.

However I work with org mode almost all the time, for non-programming related purposes, there's no syntax to highlight here. It's all just walls of white text, and in this case, themes end up looking the same anyway.

A bit of #emacs help would be great, I would like to setup a capture template for #orgmode with conditional logic, are there any examples I can look at? I currently capture with forgemacs.bharathpalavalli.com and the template I would like to modofy is codeberg.org/bmp/forgemacs/src, whereein based on a certin key/input some sections don't have to be filled in while capturing.
