Today is a little break, like I did on day 10.
In these final five posts, I will talk about my attitude towards emacs. But before talking about today’s topic, I also need to stress that I am a mediocre person at best. I am not a successful researcher in my field. The content of this webpage is...
ESS is great. ESS’s integration with the R package devtools makes it a greater tool. By default, the integration isn’t activated. One needs to explicitly activate ess-r-package.
Today and tomorrow I will talk how I write R code. This is too big a topic. But before that, I want to talk a bit about hooks.
If I could select, I won’t select \(\LaTeX\) to write my papers. Usually, the decisions to write in \(\LaTeX\) were not made by me, but my collaborators. I maintain that \(\LaTeX\) should be an intermediate format. A target to be compiled to. But ...
Now I have my \(\mathrm{B{\scriptstyle{IB}} \! T\!_{\displaystyle E} \! X}\) file (day 13) and a markdown writing mode (day 14). Now I need to be scholar and cite all the papers by the big shots in my field. How do I actually cite references in a ...
Manuscript writing is really the thing that I (should) do to bring bread and butter on the table. An end. Programming is just a means to an end. I again promise you that I will talk about this topic (means vs end) in detail in a later post in this...
I wrote about bibliography management in the past. I will keep this post simple.
I can’t believe I am now in the mid-point. I thought I would tap out on maybe day 3.
I have talked about some basics about emacs in the last 10 days. From now on, I will be focus more on the specific usage of emacs. On around day 19, I will start to talk about my attitude towards emacs 1. I am not prot the philosop...
As I said yesterday, this is a break for me. I just want to quickly show you what theme I am using and also the technique to quickly to switch to another theme.
I admit it now: at least 50% of the things I write are formulaic.
Yesterday, I talked about mode and keymap/modemap. And it actually opens up a pandora box: How do I know all these information? In order to customize emacs, you need to find all the relevant information.
Yesterday, I talked about displaying programming ligatures. A programming ligature, although in one single glyph as being displayed, is actually a sequence of characters. For example, |> are two characters | (the pipe) and > (greater than), ...
After vi(m) vs emacs, the GUI vs terminal emacs debate is probably the second favorite past time of emacs Redditors.
