Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs:
Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do,
let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a
computer to do. --- Donald Knuth

* Intro
Customising an editor can be very rewarding ... until you have to leave it.
For years I have been looking for ways to avoid this pain.
Then I discovered [[https://github.com/cknadler/vim-anywhere][vim-anywhere]], and found that it had an Emacs companion,
[[https://github.com/zachcurry/emacs-anywhere][emacs-anywhere]]. To me, this looked most attractive.
Separately, online I have seen the following statement enough times I think it's a catchphrase
#+begin_quote
Redditor1: I just discovered this thing, isn't it cool. \\
Redditor2: Oh, there's an Emacs mode for that.
#+end_quote
I tried out the =spacemacs= distribution a bit, but it wasn't quite to my liking.
Then I heard about =doom emacs= and thought I may as well give that a try.
TLDR; it's great.
Now I've discovered the wonders of literate programming, and am becoming more
settled by the day. This is my config, and also a cautionary tale (just replace
"Linux" with "Emacs" in the comic below).
[[xkcd:456]]
** Why Emacs?
# https://github.com/esac-io/eos
# https://github.com/remacs/remacs
# https://www.eigenbahn.com/2020/01/12/emacs-is-no-editor
Emacs is not a text editor, this is a common misnomer. It is far more apt to
describe Emacs as Lisp machine providing a generic user-centric text
manipulation environment.
In simpler terms one can think of Emacs as a platform for text-related
applications. It's a vague and generic definition because Emacs itself is
generic.
Good with text. How far does that go? A lot further than one initially thinks:
+ [[https://orgmode.org/][Task planning]]
+ [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Dired.html][File management]]
+ [[https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm][Terminal emulation]]
+ [[https://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/mu4e.html][Email client]]
+ [[https://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/][Remote server tool]]
+ [[https://magit.vc/][Git frontend]]
+ Web [[https://github.com/pashky/restclient.el][client]]/[[https://github.com/skeeto/emacs-web-server][server]]
+ and more...
Ideally, one may use Emacs as /the/ interface to perform =input → transform →
output= cycles, i.e. form a bridge between the human mind and information
manipulation.
*** The enveloping editor
Emacs allows one to do more in one place than any other application. Why is this
good?
+ Enables one to complete tasks with a consistent, standard set of keybindings,
GUI and editing methods --- learn once, use everywhere
+ Reduced context-switching
+ Compressing the stages of a project --- a more centralised workflow can progress
with greater ease
+ Integration between tasks previously relegated to different applications, but
with a common subject --- e.g. linking to an email in a to-do list
One can think of Emacs as a platform within which various elements of your
workflow may settle, with the potential for rich integrations between them --- a
/life/ IDE if you will.

*** Some notably unique features
+ Recursive editing
+ Completely introspectable, with pervasive docstrings
+ Mutable environment, which can be incrementally modified
+ Functionality without applications
+ Client-server seperation allows for a daemon, giving near-instant perceived
startup time.
*** Issues
+ Emacs has irritating quirks
+ Some aspects are showing their age (naming conventions, APIs)
+ Emacs is ([[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Threads.html][mostly]]) single-threaded, meaning that when something holds that
thread up the whole application freezes
+ A few other nuisances
*** Teach a man to fish...
#+begin_quote
Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed
him for a lifetime. --- Anne Isabella
#+end_quote
Most popular editors have a simple and pretty [[https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings][settings interface]], filled with
check-boxes, selects, and the occasional text-box. This makes it easy for the
user to pick between common desirable behaviours. To me this is now like /giving
a man a fish/.
What if you want one of those 'check-box' settings to be only on in certain
conditions? Some editors have workspace settings, but that requires you to
manually set the value for /every single instance/. Urgh, [[https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/93153][what]] [[https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/93628][a]] [[https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/5595][pain]].
What if you could set the value of that 'check-box' setting to be the result of
an arbitrary expression evaluated for each file? This is where an editor like
Emacs comes in.
Configuration for Emacs isn't a list of settings in JSON etc. it's *an executable
program which modifies the behaviour of the editor to suit your liking*.
This is 'teaching a man to fish'.
Emacs is built in the same language you configure it in (Emacs [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp_(programming_language)][Lisp]], or [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eintr/][elisp]]).
It comes with a broad array of useful functions for text-editing, and Doom adds
a few handy little convenience functions.
Want to add a keybinding to delete the previous line? It's as easy as
#+name: Keybinding to delete the previous line
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no
(map! "C-d"
(cmd! (previous-line)
(kill-line)
(forward-line)))
#+end_src
How about another example, say you want to be presented with a list of currently
open /buffers/ (think files, almost) when you split the window. It's as simple as
#+name: Prompt for buffer after split
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no
(defadvice! prompt-for-buffer (&rest _)
:after 'window-split (switch-to-buffer))
#+end_src
Want to test it out? You don't need to save and restart, you can just /evaluate
the expression/ within your current Emacs instance and try it immediately! This
editor is, after all, a Lisp interpreter.
Want to tweak the behaviour? Just re-evaluate your new version --- it's a
super-tight iteration loop.
** Editor comparison
[[xkcd:378]]
Over the years I have tried out (spent at least a year using as my primary
editor) the following applications
- Python IDLE
- Komodo Edit
- Brackets
- ;VSCode
- and now, Emacs
I have attempted to quantify aspects of my impressions of them below.

** Notes for the unwary adventurer
If you like the look of this, that's marvellous, and I'm really happy that I've
made something which you may find interesting, however:
#+begin_warning
This config is /insidious/. Copying the whole thing blindly can easily lead to
undesired effects. I recommend copying chunks instead.
#+end_warning
If you are so bold as to wish to steal bits of my config (or if I upgrade and
wonder why things aren't working), here's a list of sections which rely on
external setup (i.e. outside of this config).
+ dictionary :: I've downloaded a custom [[http://app.aspell.com/create][SCOWL]] dictionary, which I use in [[*Ispell][ispell]].
If this causes issues, just delete the ~(setq ispell-dictionary ...)~ bit.
+ uni-units file :: I've got a file in =~/.org/.uni-units= which I use in ~org-capture~
If this causes issues, just remove the reference to that file in [[*Capture][Capture]] and
instances of ~unit-prompt~ used in ~(doct ...)~
Oh, did I mention that I started this config when I didn't know any =elisp=, and
this whole thing is a hack job? If you can suggest any improvements, please do
so, no matter how much criticism you include I'll appreciate it :)
[[xkcd:1513]]
*** Extra Requirements
The lovely ~doom doctor~ is good at diagnosing most missing things, but here are a
few extras.
+ A [[https://www.tug.org/texlive/][LaTeX Compiler]] is required for the mathematics rendering performed in [[#org][Org]],
and by [[*CalcTeX][CalcTeX]].
+ I use the [[https://overpassfont.org/][Overpass]] font as a go-to sans serif.
It's used as my ~doom-variable-pitch-font~ and in the graph generated by [[*Roam][Roam]].
I have chosen it because it possesses a few characteristics I consider
desirable, namely:
- A clean, and legible style. Highway-style fonts tend to be designed to be
clear at a glance, and work well with a thicker weight, and this is inspired
by /Highway Gothic/.
- It's slightly quirky. Look at the diagonal cut on stems for example.
Helvetica is a masterful design, but I like a bit more pizzazz now and then.
+ A few LSP servers. Take a look at [[file:init.el][init.el]] to see which modules have the ~+lsp~ flag.
+ The [[https://github.com/dandavison/delta/][Delta]] binary. It's packaged for some distributions but I installed it with
#+begin_src shell :eval no :tangle (if (executable-find "delta") "no" "setup.sh")
cargo install git-delta
#+end_src
+ The =theme-magic= package requires the ~wal~ (=pywal=) executable. If this is
packaged for you, great! If not, it's just a quick ~pip install~ away.
#+begin_src shell :eval no :tangle (if (executable-find "wal") "no" "setup.sh")
sudo python3 -m pip install pywal
#+end_src
** Current Issues
*** Magit push in daemon
Quite often trying to push to a remote in the Emacs daemon produces as error like this:
#+begin_src fundamental
128 git … push -v origin refs/heads/master\:refs/heads/master
Pushing to git@github.com:tecosaur/emacs-config.git
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
#+end_src
*** CalcTeX brings up compilation buffer
With my [[*Calc][Calc]] hook, the first call of =M-x calc= brings up a compilation buffer
from CalcTeX. I'm guessing this is from the compilation of the preamble / ~.fmt~ file.
*** Unread emails doesn't work across Emacs instances
It would be nice if it did, so that I could have the Emacs-daemon hold the
active mu4e session, but still get that information. In this case I'd want to
change the action to open the Emacs daemon, but it should be possible.
This would probably involve hooking into the daemon's modeline update function
to write to a temporary file, and having a file watcher started in other Emacs
instances, in a similar manner to [[*Rebuild mail index while using mu4e][Rebuild mail index while using mu4e]].
* Rudimentary configuration
Make this file run (slightly) faster with lexical binding (see [[https://nullprogram.com/blog/2016/12/22/][this blog post]]
for more info).
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :comments no
;;; config.el -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-
#+end_src
#+begin_src shell :exports none :comments no :tangle-mode (identity #o755)
#!/bin/bash
#+end_src
** Personal Information
It's useful to have some basic personal information
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq user-full-name "TEC"
user-mail-address "tec@tecosaur.com")
#+end_src
Apparently this is used by ~GPG~, and all sorts of other things.
Speaking of ~GPG~, I want to use =~/.authsource.gpg= instead of the default in
=~/.emacs.d=. Why? Because my home directory is already cluttered, so this won't
make a difference, and I don't want to accidentaly purge this file (I have done
~rm -rf~/.emac.d~ before). I also want to cache as much as possible, as my home
machine is pretty safe, and my laptop is shutdown a lot.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq auth-sources '("~/.authinfo.gpg")
auth-source-cache-expiry nil) ; default is 7200 (2h)
#+end_src
** Better defaults
*** Simple settings
Browsing the web and seeing [[https://github.com/angrybacon/dotemacs/blob/master/dotemacs.org#use-better-defaults][angrybacon/dotemacs]] and comparing with the values
shown by =SPC h v= and selecting what I thought looks good, I've ended up adding the following:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq-default
delete-by-moving-to-trash t ; Delete files to trash
window-combination-resize t ; take new window space from all other windows (not just current)
x-stretch-cursor t) ; Stretch cursor to the glyph width
(setq undo-limit 80000000 ; Raise undo-limit to 80Mb
evil-want-fine-undo t ; By default while in insert all changes are one big blob. Be more granular
auto-save-default t ; Nobody likes to loose work, I certainly don't
truncate-string-ellipsis "…") ; Unicode ellispis are nicer than "...", and also save /precious/ space
(display-time-mode 1) ; Enable time in the mode-line
(unless (equal "Battery status not available"
(battery))
(display-battery-mode 1)) ; On laptops it's nice to know how much power you have
(global-subword-mode 1) ; Iterate through CamelCase words
#+end_src
*** Fullscreen
I also like the idea of fullscreen-ing when opened by ~Emacs~ or the ~.desktop~ file.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(if (eq initial-window-system 'x) ; if started by emacs command or desktop file
(toggle-frame-maximized)
(toggle-frame-fullscreen))
#+end_src
*** Auto-customisations
By default changes made via a customisation interface are added to =init.el=.
I prefer the idea of using a separate file for this. We just need to change a
setting, and load it if it exists.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq-default custom-file (expand-file-name ".custom.el" doom-private-dir))
(when (file-exists-p custom-file)
(load custom-file))
#+end_src
*** Windows
I find it rather handy to be asked which buffer I want to see after splitting
the window. Let's make that happen.
First, we'll enter the new window
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq evil-vsplit-window-right t
evil-split-window-below t)
#+end_src
Then, we'll pull up ~ivy~
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defadvice! prompt-for-buffer (&rest _)
:after '(evil-window-split evil-window-vsplit)
(+ivy/switch-buffer))
#+end_src
Oh, and previews are nice
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq +ivy-buffer-preview t)
#+end_src
Window rotation is nice, and can be found under =SPC w r= and =SPC w R=.
/Layout/ rotation is also nice though. Let's stash this under =SPC w SPC=, inspired
by Tmux's use of =C-b SPC= to rotate windows.
We could also do with adding the missing arrow-key variants of the window
navigation/swapping commands.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(map! :map evil-window-map
"SPC" #'rotate-layout
;; Navigation
"" #'evil-window-left
"" #'evil-window-down
"" #'evil-window-up
"" #'evil-window-right
;; Swapping windows
"C-" #'+evil/window-move-left
"C-" #'+evil/window-move-down
"C-" #'+evil/window-move-up
"C-" #'+evil/window-move-right)
#+end_src
*** Buffer defaults
I'd much rather have my new buffers in ~org-mode~ than ~fundamental-mode~, hence
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; (setq-default major-mode 'org-mode)
#+end_src
For some reason this + the mixed pitch hook causes issues with hydra and so I'll
just need to resort to =SPC b o= for now.
** Doom configuration
*** Modules
:PROPERTIES:
:header-args:emacs-lisp: :tangle no
:END:
Doom has this lovely /modular configuration base/ that takes a lot of work out of
configuring Emacs. Each module (when enabled) can provide a list of packages to
install (on ~doom sync~) and configuration to be applied. The modules can also
have flags applied to tweak their behaviour.
#+name: init.el
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle "init.el" :noweb no-export :comments none
;;; init.el -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-
;; This file controls what Doom modules are enabled and what order they load in.
;; Press 'K' on a module to view its documentation, and 'gd' to browse its directory.

**** Structure
As you may have noticed by this point, this is a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming][literate]] configuration. Doom
has good support for this which we access though the ~literate~ module.
While we're in the ~:config~ section, we'll use Dooms nicer defaults, along with
the bindings and smartparens behaviour (the flags aren't documented, but they exist).

**** Everything in Emacs
It's just too convenient being able to have everything in Emacs.
I couldn't resist the Email and Feed modules.
#+name: doom-email
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(mu4e +org +gmail)
;;notmuch
;;(wanderlust +gmail)
#+end_src
#+name: doom-app

;;twitter ; twitter client https://twitter.com/vnought
#+end_src
*** Visual Settings
**** Font Face
'Fira Code' is nice, and 'Overpass' makes for a nice sans companion. We just need to
fiddle with the font sizes a tad so that they visually match. Just for fun I'm
trying out JetBrains Mono though. So far I have mixed feelings on it, some
aspects are nice, but on others I prefer Fira.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq doom-font (font-spec :family "JetBrains Mono" :size 24)
doom-big-font (font-spec :family "JetBrains Mono" :size 36)
doom-variable-pitch-font (font-spec :family "Overpass" :size 24)
doom-serif-font (font-spec :family "IBM Plex Mono" :weight 'light))
#+end_src
#+attr_html: :class invertible :alt Screenshot of the fonts within Emacs.
[[https://tecosaur.com/lfs/emacs-config/screenshots/font-face.png]]
**** Theme and modeline
~doom-one~ is nice and all, but I find the ~vibrant~ variant nicer. Oh, and with the
nice selection doom provides there's no reason for me to want the defaults.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq doom-theme 'doom-vibrant)
(delq! t custom-theme-load-path)
#+end_src
However, by default ~red~ text is used in the ~modeline~, so let's make that orange
so I don't feel like something's gone /wrong/ when editing files.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(custom-set-faces!
'(doom-modeline-buffer-modified :foreground "orange"))
#+end_src
While we're modifying the modeline, =LF UTF-8= is the default file encoding, and
thus not worth noting in the modeline. So, let's conditionally hide it.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun doom-modeline-conditional-buffer-encoding ()
"We expect the encoding to be LF UTF-8, so only show the modeline when this is not the case"
(setq-local doom-modeline-buffer-encoding
(unless (or (eq buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8-unix)
(eq buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8)))))
(add-hook 'after-change-major-mode-hook #'doom-modeline-conditional-buffer-encoding)
#+end_src
**** Miscellaneous
Relative line numbers are fantastic for knowing how far away line numbers are,
then =ESC 12 = gets you exactly where you think.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq display-line-numbers-type 'relative)
#+end_src
I'd like some slightly nicer default buffer names
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq doom-fallback-buffer-name "► Doom"
+doom-dashboard-name "► Doom")
#+end_src
There's a bug with the modeline in insert mode for org documents ([[https://github.com/seagle0128/doom-modeline/issues/300][issue]]), so
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(custom-set-faces! '(doom-modeline-evil-insert-state :weight bold :foreground "#339CDB"))
#+end_src
*** Some helper macros
There are a few handy macros added by doom, namely
- ~load!~ for loading external ~.el~ files relative to this one
- ~use-package!~ for configuring packages
- ~add-load-path!~ for adding directories to the ~load-path~ where ~Emacs~ looks when
you load packages with ~require~ or ~use-package~
- ~map!~ for binding new keys
** Other things
*** Editor interaction
**** Mouse buttons
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(map! :n [mouse-8] #'better-jumper-jump-backward
:n [mouse-9] #'better-jumper-jump-forward)
#+end_src
*** Window title
I'd like to have just the buffer name, then if applicable the project folder
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq frame-title-format
'(""
(:eval
(if (s-contains-p org-roam-directory (or buffer-file-name ""))
(replace-regexp-in-string
".*/[0-9]*-?" "☰ "
(subst-char-in-string ?_ ? buffer-file-name))
"%b"))
(:eval
(let ((project-name (projectile-project-name)))
(unless (string= "-" project-name)
(format (if (buffer-modified-p) " ◉ %s" " ● %s") project-name))))))
#+end_src
For example when I open my config file it the window will be titled =config.org ●
doom= then as soon as I make a change it will become =config.org ◉ doom=.
*** Splash screen
Emacs can render an image as the splash screen, and [[https://github.com/MarioRicalde][@MarioRicalde]] came up with a
cracker! He's also provided me with a nice Emacs-style /E/, which is good for
smaller windows. *@MarioRicalde* you have my sincere thanks, you're great!

This is where you install packages, by declaring them with the ~package!~
macro, then running ~doom refresh~ on the command line. You'll need to
restart Emacs for your changes to take effect! Or at least, run =M-x doom/reload=.
WARNING: Don't disable core packages listed in ~~/.emacs.d/core/packages.el~.
Doom requires these, and disabling them may have terrible side effects.
*** Packages in MELPA/ELPA/emacsmirror
To install ~some-package~ from MELPA, ELPA or emacsmirror:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(package! some-package)
#+end_src
*** Packages from git repositories
To install a package directly from a particular repo, you'll need to specify
a ~:recipe~. You'll find documentation on what ~:recipe~ accepts [[https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el#the-recipe-format][here]]:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(package! another-package
:recipe (:host github :repo "username/repo"))
#+end_src
If the package you are trying to install does not contain a ~PACKAGENAME.el~
file, or is located in a subdirectory of the repo, you'll need to specify
~:files~ in the ~:recipe~:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(package! this-package
:recipe (:host github :repo "username/repo"
:files ("some-file.el" "src/lisp/*.el")))
#+end_src
*** Disabling built-in packages
If you'd like to disable a package included with Doom, for whatever reason,
you can do so here with the ~:disable~ property:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(package! builtin-package :disable t)
#+end_src
You can override the recipe of a built in package without having to specify
all the properties for ~:recipe~. These will inherit the rest of its recipe
from Doom or MELPA/ELPA/Emacsmirror:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(package! builtin-package :recipe (:nonrecursive t))
(package! builtin-package-2 :recipe (:repo "myfork/package"))
#+end_src
Specify a ~:branch~ to install a package from a particular branch or tag.
This is required for some packages whose default branch isn't 'master' (which
our package manager can't deal with; see [[https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el/issues/279][raxod502/straight.el#279]])
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

For some reason, I find myself demoing Emacs every now and then. Showing what

We can lazy load this using the start/stop commands.
I initially installed ~scrot~ for this, since it was the default capture program.
However it raised ~glib error: Saving to file ... failed~ each time it was run.
Google didn't reveal any easy fixed, so I switched to [[https://github.com/naelstrof/maim][maim]]. We now need to pass
it the window ID. This doesn't change throughout the lifetime of an emacs
instance, so as long as a single window is used ~xdotool getactivewindow~ will
give a satisfactory result.
It seems that when new colours appear, that tends to make ~gifsicle~ introduce
artefacts. To avoid this we pre-populate the colour map using the current doom
theme.

#+end_src
**** Definitions
Doom already loads =define-word=, and provides it's own definition service using
[[https://github.com/gromnitsky/wordnut][wordnut]]. However, using an offline dictionary possess a few compelling
advantages, namely:
+ speed
+ integration of multiple dictionaries
[[http://goldendict.org/][GoldenDict]] seems like the best option currently avalible, but lacks a CLI.
Hence, we'll fall back to [[https://dushistov.github.io/sdcv/][sdcv]] (a CLI version of StarDict) for now.
To interface with this, we'll use a my =lexic= package.
#+attr_html: :class invertible :alt Screenshot of the lexic-mode view of "literate"
[[https://tecosaur.com/lfs/emacs-config/screenshots/lexic.png]]
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(package! lexic :recipe (:local-repo "lisp/lexic"))
#+end_src
Given that a request for a CLI is the most upvoted issue on GitHub for
GoldenDict, it's likely we'll be able to switch from ~sdcv~ to that in the future.
Since GoldenDict supports StarDict files, I expect this will be a relatively
painless switch.

Similarly ~doct~ (Declarative Org Capture Templates) seems to be a nicer way to
set up org-capture.

**** Visuals
Org tables aren't the prettiest thing to look at. This package is supposed to
redraw them in the buffer with box-drawing characters. Sounds like an
improvement to me! Just need to get it working...

**** Extra functionality
Because of the /[[https://github.com/commonmark/commonmark-spec/wiki/markdown-flavors][lovely variety in markdown implementations]]/ there isn't actually
such a thing a standard table spec ... or standard anything really. Because
~org-md~ is a goody-two-shoes, it just uses HTML for all these non-standardised
elements (a lot of them). So ~ox-gfm~ is handy for exporting markdown with all the
features that GitHub has. Initialised in [[Exporting to GFM]].

Sometimes I'm given non-org files, that's very sad. Luckily Pandoc offers a way
to make that right again, and this package makes that even easier to do.

** Centaur Tabs
We want to make the tabs a nice, comfy size (~36~), with icons. The modifier
marker is nice, but the particular default Unicode one causes a lag spike, so
let's just switch to an ~o~, which still looks decent but doesn't cause any
issues.
A 'active-bar' is nice, so let's have one of those. If we have it ~under~ needs us to
turn on ~x-underline-at-decent~ though. For some reason this didn't seem to work
inside the ~(after! ... )~ block ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Then let's change the font to a sans serif, but the default one doesn't fit too
well somehow, so let's switch to 'P22 Underground Book'; it looks much nicer.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(after! centaur-tabs
(centaur-tabs-mode -1)
(setq centaur-tabs-height 36
centaur-tabs-set-icons t

#+end_src
Now, the improvements from ~precedent~ are mostly from remembering history, so
let's improve that memory.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

#+end_src
*** Plain Text
~Ispell~ is nice, let's have it in ~text~, ~markdown~, and ~GFM~.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(set-company-backend!

'(:seperate
company-ispell
company-files
company-yasnippet))
#+end_src
We then configure the dictionary we're using in [[*Ispell][Ispell]].
*** ESS
~company-dabbrev-code~ is nice. Let's have it.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(set-company-backend! 'ess-r-mode '(company-R-args company-R-objects company-dabbrev-code :separate))
#+end_src
** Circe
Circe is a client for IRC in Emacs (hey, isn't that a nice project
name+acronym), and a greek enchantress who turned humans into animals.
Let's use the former to chat to +recluses+ discerning individuals online.
[[xkcd:1782]]
Before we start seeing and sending messages, we need to authenticate with our
IRC servers. The circe manual provided a snippet for putting some of the auth
details in =.authinfo.gpg= --- but I think we should go further than that: have
the entire server info in our authinfo.
First, a reasonable format by which we can specify:
+ server
+ port
+ SASL username
+ SASL password
+ channels to join
We can have these stored like so
#+begin_src authinfo
machine chat.freenode.net login USERNAME password PASSWORD port PORT for irc channels emacs,org-mode
#+end_src
The ~for irc~ bit is used so we can uniquely identify all IRC auth info. By
omitting the =#= in channel names we can have a list of channels comma-separated
(no space!) which the secrets API will return as a single string.
#+name: irc-authinfo-reader
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no
(defun auth-server-pass (server)
(if-let ((secret (plist-get (car (auth-source-search :host server)) :secret)))
(if (functionp secret)
(funcall secret) secret)
(error "Could not fetch password for host %s" server)))
(defun register-irc-auths ()
(require 'circe)
(require 'dash)
(let ((accounts (-filter (lambda (a) (string= "irc" (plist-get a :for)))
(auth-source-search :require '(:for) :max 10))))
(appendq! circe-network-options
(mapcar (lambda (entry)
(let* ((host (plist-get entry :host))
(label (or (plist-get entry :label) host))
(_ports (mapcar #'string-to-number
(s-split "," (plist-get entry :port))))
(port (if (= 1 (length _ports)) (car _ports) _ports))
(user (plist-get entry :user))
(nick (or (plist-get entry :nick) user))
(channels (mapcar (lambda (c) (concat "#" c))
(s-split "," (plist-get entry :channels)))))
`(,label
:host ,host :port ,port :nick ,nick
:sasl-username ,user :sasl-password auth-server-pass
:channels ,channels)))
accounts))))
#+end_src
We'll just call ~(register-irc-auths)~ on a hook when we start Circe up.
Now we're ready to go, let's actually wire-up Circe, with one or two
configuration tweaks.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb no-export

** Mail
[[xkcd:1467]]
*** Fetching
The contenders for this seem to be:
+ [[https://www.offlineimap.org/][OfflineIMAP]] ([[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OfflineIMAP][ArchWiki page]])
+ [[http://isync.sourceforge.net/mbsync.html][isync/mbsync]] ([[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/isync][ArchWiki page]])
From perusing r/emacs the prevailing opinion seems to be that
+ isync is faster
+ isync works more reliably
So let's use that.
The config was straightforward, and is located at [[file:~/.mbsyncrc][~/.mbsyncrc]].
I'm currently successfully connecting to: Gmail, office365mail, and dovecot.
I'm also shoving passwords in my [[file:~/.authinfo.gpg][authinfo.gpg]] and fetching them using ~PassCmd~:
#+begin_src shell :tangle no :eval no
gpg2 -q --for-your-eyes-only --no-tty -d ~/.authinfo.gpg | awk '/machine IMAP_SERCER login EMAIL_ADDR/ {print $NF}'
#+end_src
We can run ~mbsync -a~ in a systemd service file or something, but we can do
better than that. [[https://github.com/vsemyonoff/easymail#usage][vsemyonoff/easymail]] seems like the sort of thing we want, but
is written for =notmuch= unfortunately. We can still use it for inspiration though.
Using [[https://gitlab.com/shackra/goimapnotify][goimapnotify]] we should be able to sync just after new
mail. Unfortunately this means /yet another/ config file :(
We install with
#+begin_src shell :eval no :tangle (if (executable-find "goimapnotify") "no" "setup.sh")
go get -u gitlab.com/shackra/goimapnotify
ln -s ~/.local/share/go/bin/goimapnotify ~/.local/bin/
#+end_src
Here's the general plan:
1. Use ~goimapnotify~ to monitor mailboxes
This needs it's own set of configs, and =systemd= services, which is a pain. We
remove this pain by writing a python script (found below) to setup these
config files, and systemd services by parsing the [[file:~/.mbsyncrc][~/.mbsyncrc]] file.
2. On new mail, call ~mbsync --pull --new ACCOUNT:BOX~
We try to be as specific as possible, so ~mbsync~ returns as soon as possible,
and we can /get those emails as soon as possible/.
3. Try to call ~mu index --lazy-fetch~.
This fails if mu4e is already open (due to a write lock on the database), so
in that case we just ~touch~ a tmp file (=/tmp/mu_reindex_now=).
4. Separately, we set up Emacs to check for the existance of
=/tmp/mu_reindex_now= once a second while mu4e is
running, and (after deleting the file) call ~mu4e-update-index~.
Let's start off by handling the elisp side of things

**** Config transcoding & service management

~/.config/doom/misc/mbsync-imapnotify.py
#+end_src
When run without flags this will perform the following actions
+ Read, and parse [[file:~/.mbsyncrc][~/.mbsyncrc]], specifically recognising the following properties
- ~IMAPAccount~
- ~Host~
- ~Port~
- ~User~
- ~Password~
- ~PassCmd~
- ~Patterns~
+ Call ~mbsync --list ACCOUNT~, and filter results according to ~Patterns~
+ Construct a imapnotify config for each account, with the following hooks
- onNewMail :: ~mbsync --pull ACCOUNT:MAILBOX~
- onNewMailPost :: ~if mu index --lazy-check; then test -f /tmp/mu_reindex_now && rm /tmp/mu_reindex_now; else touch /tmp/mu_reindex_now; fi~
+ Compare accounts list to previous accounts, enable/disable the relevant
systemd services, called with the ~--now~ flag (start/stop services as well)
This script also supports the following flags
+ ~--status~ to get the status of the relevant systemd services supports =active=,
=failing=, and =disabled=
+ ~--enable~ to enable all relevant systemd services
+ ~--disable~ to disable all relevant systemd services

**** Systemd
We then have a service file to run ~goimapnotify~ on all of these generated config files.
We'll use a template service file so we can enable a unit per-account.
#+begin_src systemd :tangle ~/.config/systemd/user/goimapnotify@.service
[Unit]
Description=IMAP notifier using IDLE, golang version.
ConditionPathExists=%h/.config/imapnotify/%I/notify.conf
After=network.target
[Service]
ExecStart=%h/.local/bin/goimapnotify -conf %h/.config/imapnotify/%I/notify.conf
Restart=always
RestartSec=30
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
#+end_src
Enabling the service is actually taken care of by that python script.
From one or two small tests, this can bring the delay down to as low as five
seconds, which I'm quite happy with.
This works well for fetching new mail, but we also want to propagate other
changes (e.g. marking mail as read), and make sure we're up to date at the
start, so for that I'll do the 'normal' thing and run ~mbsync -all~ every so often
--- let's say five minutes.
We can accomplish this via a systemd timer, and service file.
#+begin_src systemd :tangle ~/.config/systemd/user/mbsync.timer
[Unit]
Description=call mbsync on all accounts every 5 minutes
ConditionPathExists=%h/.mbsyncrc
[Timer]
OnBootSec=5m
OnUnitInactiveSec=5m

ConditionPathExists=%h/.mbsyncrc
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mbsync -c %h/.mbsyncrc --all
[Install]
WantedBy=mail.target
#+end_src
Enabling (and starting) this is as simple as
#+begin_src shell :tangle (if (string= "enabled\n" (shell-command-to-string "systemctl --user is-enabled mbsync.timer")) "no" "setup.sh")
systemctl --user enable mbsync.timer --now
#+end_src
*** Indexing/Searching
This is performed by [[https://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/][Mu]]. This is a tool for finding emails stored in the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir][Maildir]] format.
According to the homepage, it's main features are
+ Fast indexing
+ Good searching
+ Support for encrypted and signed messages
+ Rich CLI tooling
+ accent/case normalisation
+ strong integration with email clients
Unfortunately ~mu~ is not currently packaged from me. Oh well, I guess I'm
building it from source then. I needed to install these packages
+ =gmime-devel=
+ =xapian-core-devel=
#+name: Install mu from source
#+begin_src shell :eval no :tangle (if (executable-find "mu") "no" "setup.sh")
cd ~/.local/lib/
git clone https://github.com/djcb/mu.git
cd ./mu
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install
#+end_src
To check how my version compares to the latest published:
#+begin_src shell :tangle no
curl --silent "https://api.github.com/repos/djcb/mu/releases/latest" | grep '"tag_name":' | sed -E 's/.*"([^"]+)".*/\1/'
mu --version | head -n 1 | sed 's/.* version //'
#+end_src
#+results:
| 1.4.6 |
| 1.4.6 |
*** Sending
[[https://www.nongnu.org/smtpmail/][SmtpMail]] seems to be the 'default' starting point, but that's not packaged for
me. [[https://marlam.de/msmtp/][msmtp]] is however, so I'll give that a shot. Reading around a bit (googling
"msmtp vs sendmail" for example) almost every comparison mentioned seems to
suggest msmtp to be a better choice. I have seen the following points raised
+ ~sendmail~ has several vulnerabilities
+ ~sendmail~ is tedious to configure
+ ~ssmtp~ is no longer maintained
+ ~msmtp~ is a maintained alternative to ~ssmtp~
+ ~msmtp~ is easier to configure
The config file is [[file:~/.msmtprc][~/.msmtprc]]
**** System hackery
Unfortunately, I seem to have run into a [[https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/44994][bug]] present in my packaged version, so
we'll just install the latest from source.
For full use of the ~auth~ options, I need =GNU SASL=, which isn't packaged for me.
I don't think I want it, but in case I do, I'll need to do this.
#+name: Install gsasl from source
#+begin_src shell :eval no :tangle (if (executable-find "msmtp") "no" "setup.sh")
export GSASL_VERSION=1.8.1
cd ~/.local/lib/
curl "ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gsasl/libgsasl-$GSASL_VERSION.tar.gz" | tar xz
curl "ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gsasl/gsasl-$GSASL_VERSION.tar.gz" | tar xz
cd "./libgsasl-$GSASL_VERSION"
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ..
cd "./gsasl-$VERSION"
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ..
#+end_src
Now actually compile ~msmtp~.
#+name: Install msmtp from source
#+begin_src shell :eval no :tangle (if (executable-find "msmtp") "no" "setup.sh")
cd ~/.local/lib/
git clone https://github.com/marlam/msmtp-mirror.git ./msmtp
cd ./msmtp
libtoolize --force
aclocal
autoheader
automake --force-missing --add-missing
autoconf
# if using GSASL
# PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --with-libgsasl
./configure
make
sudo make install
#+end_src
If using =GSASL= (from earlier) we need to make ensure that the dynamic library in
in the library path. We can do by adding an executable with the same name
earlier on in my ~$PATH~.
#+begin_src sh :tangle no :shebang "#!/bin/sh"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib exec /usr/local/bin/msmtp "$@"
#+end_src
*** Mu4e
Webmail clients are nice and all, but I still don't believe that SPAs in my
browser can replaced desktop apps ... sorry Gmail. I'm also liking google less
and less.
Mailspring is a decent desktop client, quite lightweight for electron
(apparently the backend is in =C=, which probably helps), however I miss Emacs
stuff.
While =Notmuch= seems very promising, and I've heard good things about it, it
doesn't seem to make any changes to the emails themselves. All data is stored in
Notmuch's database. While this is a very interesting model, occasionally I need
to pull up an email on say my phone, and so not I want the tagging/folders etc.
to be applied to the mail itself --- not stored in a database.
On the other hand =Mu4e= is also talked about a lot in positive terms, and seems
to possess a similarly strong feature set --- and modifies the mail itself (I.e.
information is accessible without the database). =Mu4e= also seems to have a large
user base, which tends to correlate with better support and attention.
As I installed mu4e from source, I need to add the =/usr/local/= loadpath so Mu4e has a chance of loading
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle (if (file-directory-p "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/mu4e") "yes" "no")
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/mu4e")
#+end_src
**** Viewing Mail
There seem to be some advantages with using Gnus' article view (such as inline
images), and judging from [[https://github.com/djcb/mu/pull/1442#issuecomment-591695814][djcb/mu!1442 (comment)]] this seems to be the 'way of
the future' for mu4e.
There are some all-the-icons font related issues, so we need to redefine the
fancy chars, and make sure they get the correct width.
To account for the increase width of each flag character, and make perform a
few more visual tweaks, we'll tweak the headers a bit
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(after! mu4e
(setq mu4e-headers-fields
'((:flags . 6)
(:account-stripe . 2)
(:from-or-to . 25)
(:folder . 10)
(:recipnum . 2)
(:subject . 80)
(:human-date . 8))
+mu4e-min-header-frame-width 142
mu4e-headers-date-format "%d/%m/%y"
mu4e-headers-time-format "⧖ %H:%M"
mu4e-headers-results-limit 1000
mu4e-index-cleanup t)
(add-to-list 'mu4e-bookmarks
'(:name "Yesterday's messages" :query "date:2d..1d" :key ?y) t)
(defvar +mu4e-header--folder-colors nil)
(appendq! mu4e-header-info-custom
'((:folder .
(:name "Folder" :shortname "Folder" :help "Lowest level folder" :function
(lambda (msg)
(+mu4e-colorize-str
(replace-regexp-in-string "\\`.*/" "" (mu4e-message-field msg :maildir))
'+mu4e-header--folder-colors)))))))
#+end_src
We'll also use a nicer alert icon
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq mu4e-alert-icon "/usr/share/icons/Papirus/64x64/apps/evolution.svg")
#+end_src
**** Sending Mail
Let's send emails too.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(after! mu4e
(setq sendmail-program "/usr/bin/msmtp"
send-mail-function #'smtpmail-send-it
message-sendmail-f-is-evil t
message-sendmail-extra-arguments '("--read-envelope-from"); , "--read-recipients")
message-send-mail-function #'message-send-mail-with-sendmail))
#+end_src
It's also nice to avoid accidentally sending emails with the wrong account.
If we can send from the address in the ~To~ field, let's do that. Opening an ~ivy~
prompt otherwise also seems sensible.
We can register Emacs as a potential email client with the following desktop
file, thanks to Etienne Deparis's [[https://etienne.depar.is/emacs.d/mu4e.html][Mu4e customization]].
#+begin_src conf :tangle ~/.local/share/applications/emacsmail.desktop :mkdirp yes
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Compose message in Emacs
GenericName=Compose a new message with Mu4e in Emacs
Comment=Open mu4e compose window
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/mailto;

Icon=emacs
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Categories=Network;Email;
StartupWMClass=Emacs
#+end_src
To register this, just call
#+begin_src shell :tangle (if (string= (shell-command-to-string "xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/mailto") "emacsmail.desktop\n") "no" "setup.sh")
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications
#+end_src
We also want to define ~mu4e-compose-from-mailto~.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun mu4e-compose-from-mailto (mailto-string)
(require 'mu4e)
(unless mu4e~server-props (mu4e t) (sleep-for 0.1))
(let* ((mailto (rfc2368-parse-mailto-url mailto-string))
(to (cdr (assoc "To" mailto)))
(subject (or (cdr (assoc "Subject" mailto)) ""))
(body (cdr (assoc "Body" mailto)))
(org-msg-greeting-fmt (if (assoc "Body" mailto)
(replace-regexp-in-string "%" "%%"
(cdr (assoc "Body" mailto)))
org-msg-greeting-fmt))
(headers (-filter (lambda (spec) (not (-contains-p '("To" "Subject" "Body") (car spec)))) mailto)))
(mu4e~compose-mail to subject headers)))
#+end_src
This may not quite function as intended for now due to [[github:jeremy-compostella/org-msg/issues/52][jeremy-compostella/org-msg#52]].
*** Org Msg
Doom does a fantastic stuff with the defaults with this, so we only make a few
minor tweaks.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

#+end_src
** Projectile
Looking at documentation via =SPC h f= and =SPC h v= and looking at the source can
add package src directories to projectile. This isn't desirable in my opinion.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

(defun projectile-ignored-project-function (filepath)

#+end_src
** Lexic

Beyond the elegance in the markup language, tremendously rich integrations with
Emacs allow for some fantastic [[https://orgmode.org/features.html][features]], such as what seems to be the best
support for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming][literate programming]] of any currently available technology.

An =.org= file can contain blocks of code (with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noweb][noweb]] templating support), which
can be [[https://orgmode.org/manual/Extracting-Source-Code.html][tangled]] to dedicated source code files, and [[https://orgmode.org/manual/Extracting-Source-Code.html][woven]] into a document
(report, documentation, presentation, etc.) through various (/extensible/) methods.
These source blocks may even create images or other content to be included in
the document, or generate source code.

*** System config
Org mode isn't recognised as it's own mime type by default, but that can easily
be changed with the following file. For system-wide changes try
~~/usr/share/mime/packages/org.xml~.
#+begin_src xml :tangle ~/.local/share/mime/packages/org.xml :mkdirp yes
Emacs Org-mode File
#+end_src
What's nice is that Papirus [[https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/commit/a10fb7f2423d5e30b9c4477416ccdc93c4f3849d][now]] has an icon for =text/org=.
One simply needs to refresh their mime database
#+begin_src shell :tangle (if (string= (shell-command-to-string "xdg-mime query default text/org") "\n") "setup.sh" "no")
update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime
#+end_src
Then set Emacs as the default editor
#+begin_src shell :tangle (if (string= (shell-command-to-string "xdg-mime query default text/org") "emacs-client.desktop\n") "no" "setup.sh")
xdg-mime default emacs.desktop text/org
#+end_src
*** Behaviour
[[xkcd:1319]]
**** Tweaking defaults
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-directory "~/.org" ; let's put files here
org-use-property-inheritance t ; it's convenient to have properties inherited
org-log-done 'time ; having the time a item is done sounds convininet
org-list-allow-alphabetical t ; have a. A. a) A) list bullets
org-export-in-background t ; run export processes in external emacs process
org-catch-invisible-edits 'smart ; try not to accidently do weird stuff in invisible regions
org-re-reveal-root "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/reveal.js")
#+end_src
I also like the ~:comments~ header-argument, so let's make that a default.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-babel-default-header-args
'((:session . "none")
(:results . "replace")
(:exports . "code")
(:cache . "no")
(:noweb . "no")
(:hlines . "no")
(:tangle . "no")
(:comments . "link")))
#+end_src
By default, ~visual-line-mode~ is turned =on=, and ~auto-fill-mode~ =off= by a hook.
However this messes with tables in Org-mode, and other plaintext files (e.g.
markdown, \LaTeX) so I'll turn it off for this, and manually enable it for more
specific modes as desired.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(remove-hook 'text-mode-hook #'visual-line-mode)
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook #'auto-fill-mode)
#+end_src
There also seem to be a few keybindings which use =hjkl=, but miss arrow key equivalents.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(map! :map evil-org-mode-map
:after evil-org
:n "g " #'org-backward-heading-same-level
:n "g " #'org-forward-heading-same-level
:n "g " #'org-up-element
:n "g " #'org-down-element)
#+end_src
**** Extra functionality
***** Org buffer creation
Let's also make creating an org buffer just that little bit easier.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(evil-define-command evil-buffer-org-new (count file)
"Creates a new ORG buffer replacing the current window, optionally
editing a certain FILE"
:repeat nil
(interactive "P")
(if file
(evil-edit file)
(let ((buffer (generate-new-buffer "*new org*")))
(set-window-buffer nil buffer)
(with-current-buffer buffer
(org-mode)))))
(map! :leader
(:prefix "b"
:desc "New empty ORG buffer" "o" #'evil-buffer-org-new))
#+end_src
***** List bullet sequence
I think it makes sense to have list bullets change with depth
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-list-demote-modify-bullet '(("+" . "-") ("-" . "+") ("*" . "+") ("1." . "a.")))
#+end_src
***** Citation
Occasionally I want to cite something.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package! org-ref
:after org
:config
(setq org-ref-completion-library 'org-ref-ivy-cite))
#+end_src
***** cdlatex
It's also nice to be able to use ~cdlatex~.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(after! org (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'turn-on-org-cdlatex))
#+end_src
It's handy to be able to quickly insert environments with =C-c }=. I almost always
want to edit them afterwards though, so let's make that happen by default.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(after! org
(defadvice! org-edit-latex-emv-after-insert ()
:after #'org-cdlatex-environment-indent
(org-edit-latex-environment)))
#+end_src
At some point in the future it could be good to investigate [[https://scripter.co/splitting-an-org-block-into-two/][splitting org blocks]].
Likewise [[https://archive.casouri.cat/note/2020/insert-math-symbol-in-emacs/][this]] looks good for symbols.
***** Spellcheck
My spelling is atrocious, so let's get flycheck going.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(after! org (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'turn-on-flyspell))
#+end_src
***** LSP support in ~src~ blocks

#+end_src
***** View exported file

functionality as in LaTeX. Let's try viewing possible output files with this.

**** Snippet Helper
For snippets which want to depend on the ~#+thing:~ on the current line.
This is mostly source blocks, and property args, so let's get fancy with them.
One-letter snippets are super-convenient, but for them to not be a pain
everywhere else we'll need a nice condition function to use in yasnippet.
By having this function give slightly more than a simple ~t~ or ~nil~, we can
use in a second function to get the most popular language without explicit
global header args.

**** Translate capital keywords (old) to lower case (new)
Everyone used to use ~#+CAPITAL~ keywords. Then people realised that ~#+lowercase~
is actually both marginally easier and visually nicer, so now the capital
version is just used in the manual.
#+begin_quote
Org is standardized on lower case. Uppercase is used in the manual as a poor
man's bold, and supported for historical reasons. --- [[https://orgmode.org/list/87tuuw3n15.fsf@nicolasgoaziou.fr][Nicolas Goaziou on the Org ML]]
#+end_quote
To avoid sometimes having to choose between the hassle out of updating old
documents and using mixed syntax, I'll whip up a basic transcode-y function.
It likely misses some edged cases, but should mostly work.

It's nice to customise the look of LaTeX fragments so they fit better in the
text --- like this \(\sqrt{\beta^2+3}-\sum_{\phi=1}^\infty \frac{x^\phi-1}{\Gamma(a)}\). Let's start by adding a sans font.

We can either render from a ~dvi~ or ~pdf~ file, so let's benchmark ~latex~ and
~pdflatex~.
| ~latex~ time | ~pdflatex~ time |
|------------+---------------|
| 135±2 ms | 215±3 ms |
On the rendering side, there are two ~.dvi~-to-image converters which I am
interested in: ~dvipng~ and ~dvisvgm~. Then with the a ~.pdf~ we have ~pdf2svg~.
For inline preview we care about speed, while for exporting we care about file
size and prefer a vector graphic.
Using the above latex expression and benchmarking lead to the following results:
| ~dvipng~ time | ~dvisvgm~ time | ~pdf2svg~ time |
|-------------+--------------+--------------|
| 89±2 ms | 178±2 ms | 12±2 ms |
Now let's combine this to see what's best
| Tool chain | Total time | Resultant file size |
|--------------------+------------+---------------------|
| ~latex~ + ~dvipng~ | 226±2 ms | 7 KiB |
| ~latex~ + ~dvisvgm~ | 392±4 ms | 8 KiB |
| ~pdflatex~ + ~pdf2svg~ | 230±2 ms | 16 KiB |
So, let's use ~dvipng~ for previewing LaTeX fragments in-Emacs, but ~dvisvgm~ for [[
Exporting to HTML][LaTeX Rendering]].
/Unfortunately: it seems that svg sizing is annoying ATM, so let's actually not do this right now./
As well as having a sans font, there are a few other tweaks which can make them
look better. Namely making sure that the colours switch when the theme does.
