Org Mode

• Org Mark Ring
• Babel
• Latex

#

I used to respect the 80 column limit, but why waste all the space when it can be dynamic. In this way all of the available screen space is utilized.

  (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'visual-line-mode)

Enable "fake" indentation in org-mode, in other words, add indentation using overlays, but on disk the buffer is not indented.

  (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'org-indent-mode)

Increase the size of headings, in my personal opinion this makes the headings stand out a bit more and therefore easier to read.

  (custom-set-faces
   '(org-level-1 ((t (:inherit outline-1 :height 1.25))))
   '(org-level-2 ((t (:inherit outline-2 :height 1.2))))
   '(org-level-3 ((t (:inherit outline-3 :height 1.15))))
   '(org-level-4 ((t (:inherit outline-4 :height 1.10))))
   '(org-level-5 ((t (:inherit outline-5 :height 1.05)))))

Disable element cache for now, it freaks out all the damn time. God forbid I make a tiny syntax error…

  (setq org-element-use-cache nil)

  (setf org-blank-before-new-entry '((heading . t) (plain-list-item . nil)))

Org Mark Ring

To go back to the previous mark, very useful with Org Roam.

  (general-def org-mode-map "C-c b" 'org-mark-ring-goto)

Babel

Enable tangle on save, big thanks to Diego Zamboni for his amazing booklet about Literate Configuration.

  (add-hook 'org-mode-hook
	 (lambda () (add-hook 'after-save-hook #'org-babel-tangle :append :local)))

After executing a source code block with org-babel, redisplay inline images, this speeds up the REPL-like workflow a lot.

  (add-hook 'org-babel-after-execute-hook 'org-redisplay-inline-images)

Enable additional babel languages.

  (org-babel-do-load-languages
   'org-babel-load-languages
   (cl-map 'list (lambda (lang) `(,lang . t))
           '(python R shell dot latex plantuml)))

Latex

For previews, create SVGs and not PNGs or something, use the dvisvgm command.

  (setq org-preview-latex-default-process 'dvisvgm)

Enable org-fragtog. When point is on a LaTeX fragment, it will automatically remove the preview otherwise show it.

  (use-package org-fragtog
    :straight t
    :hook ((org-mode . org-fragtog-mode))
    :config
    (setq org-fragtog-ignore-predicates
          '(org-at-table-p)))

Adjust size of LaTeX previews.

  (setq org-format-latex-options (plist-put org-format-latex-options :scale 1.75))
