#+TITLE: my-org-config #+AUTHOR: screwlisp #+PROPERTY: header-args:elisp :tangle ~/.emacs.d/my-org-config.el To go in ~/.emacs.d/config.org . The idea is it will ==M-x org-babel-tangle <RET>== into an elisp file ==my-org-config.el== that will be hooked into the ==~/.emacs.d/init.el== file which customises emacs on startup. Well, this one is just intended for extending a config but it seems pretty cool. By the way, shift-tab on a heading (line starting ==*==) rotates between |-----------------------------| | fold just toplevel headings | | fold just all headings | | Open everything | |-----------------------------| * Elisp config blocks ** Explanation Org-babel has elisp blocks enabled by default. Elisp is the language that implements emacs. We can create and name source blocks to do our session configuration. ** Block-adder Implemented from a kbd-macro. Which is to say I just C-x ( ... C-x ) where ... was me doing it by hand, once. Followed by name- and insert- kbd macro. This is just to be CALLed to append a template block to the end of this file.

It would be cool to do some calc, but I guess this is just an config file.
