* Introduction
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: sec:introduction
:END:
This Emacs setup aims to install automatically a minimal set of extension
packages that allows to handle my reports and presentations. The file format of
the reports is [[https://orgmode.org/][Org Mode]] plain text with [[https://www.python.org/][Python]] source code blocks and the file
format of the presentations is [[https://www.latex-project.org/][LaTeX]].
This [[info:org#Top][org]] file (more precisely the original [[info:org#Top][org]] source file of this file)
illustrates three methods in my work-flow:
1. How to tangle (or export) source blocks from [[info:org#Top][org]] files. This file contains
source blocks to produce the files =early-init.el=, =init.el=, =latexmkrc=, =org-store-link=, and =example.py= by tangling.
2. How to export [[info:org#Top][org]] files to other formats such as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML][HTML]], [[https://www.latex-project.org/][LaTeX]], and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF][PDF]].
3. How [[info:org#Hyperlinks][org hyperlinks (info)]] allow to link inside and outside [[info:org#Top][Org Mode]]: hover
over or click on the links to experiment.
The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AUCTeX][AUCTeX - Aalborg University Center TeX]] extension package provides a
powerful [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text-based_user_interface][Text-based User Interface (TUI)]] environment to edit the [[https://www.latex-project.org/][LaTeX]]
presentations.
The [[https://github.com/bdarcus/citar][citar]] extension package provides quick filtering and selecting of
bibliographic entries, and the option to run different commands on those
selections. [[https://github.com/bdarcus/citar][Citar]] requires [[info:org#Top][Org-9.5 (info)]], which is already part of Emacs-28.1.
[[https://github.com/bdarcus/citar][Citar]] exploits the enhancements of Emacs' builtin selection mechanism provided
by the extension packages [[https://github.com/minad/vertico][vertico]], [[https://github.com/oantolin/orderless][orderless]], [[https://github.com/oantolin/embark][embark]], [[https://github.com/minad/marginalia][marginalia]], and [[https://github.com/minad/consult][consult]].
The [[https://github.com/andras-simonyi/citeproc-el][citeproc]] extension package provides [[https://citationstyles.org/][CSL: citation style language]] processing
capabilities to [[https://github.com/bdarcus/citar][citar]] and [[https://orgmode.org/][Org Mode]].
The [[https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools][pdf-tools]] extension package renders [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF][PDF]] file with the possibility to
annotate the file or to click on anchors in the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF][PDF]] file that link back to the
original [[https://www.latex-project.org/][LaTeX]] file of the document. An example of my work-flow are the steps
to convert this [[info:org#Top][org]] file to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF][PDF]] and to see the result with [[https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools][pdf-tools]] in Emacs:
execute the commands ~pdf-tools-install~, ~org-babel-tangle~,
~org-latex-export-latex-to-latex~, and ~compile~. This sets up an infinite
[[https://www.latex-project.org/][LaTeX]] compilation loop to update and redisplay the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF][PDF]] file after excution of
the ~org-latex-export-latex-to-latex~ command in this buffer.
Here follows a list of interesting Emacs configurations:
1. [[https://github.com/alhassy/emacs.d][Musa Al-hassy's configuration]] is an impressive example of producing the Emacs
initialization files and other files by tangling an [[info:org#Top][org]] file. His methodology
is impressive, as his [[https://alhassy.github.io/ElispCheatSheet/][Elisp Cheat Sheet]] and [[https://alhassy.github.io/org-special-block-extras/][org-special-block-extra package]]
show. To me, this is a configuration to admire, but his methodology is way
over my head.
2. [[https://github.com/oantolin/emacs-config][Omar Antolín Camarena's configuration]] exploits built-in packages, Omar's own
small packages, and large external packages. Omar is the author of [[https://github.com/oantolin/orderless][orderless]]
and [[https://github.com/oantolin/embark][embark]]. I have stolen his idea of using ~custom-set-variables~ instead
of the customize interface although that is [[https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/bad-emacs-advice][bad Emacs advice]] for new users.
3. [[https://gitlab.com/ambrevar/dotfiles][Pierre Neirhardt's configuration]] implements lazy loading without help of
external packages. I have stolen his approach of using lazy loading to
silently ignore the setup stanzas of uninstalled extension packages.
4. [[https://sachachua.com/dotemacs/][Sacha Chua's configuration]] is a practical example of producing the Emacs
initialization files by tangling an [[info:org#Top][org]] file. It gives me the impression
that she is a very practical person trying to achieve her goals by the most
efficient means. I have stolen her idea of using [[https://github.com/quelpa/quelpa][quelpa]] to install packages
from any source.
5. [[https://github.com/purcell/emacs.d][Steve Purcell's configuration]] is well organized, a showcase of readable code,
as well helpful commit and issue histories. See for instance the discussion
on [[https://github.com/purcell/emacs.d/issues/778][the correctness of order of company candidates in Emacs lisp mode]].
Here follows a list of links on how to use Emacs and Elisp:
1. [[https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2022-01-31-learning-emacs/][Learning Emacs and Elisp]] is a link to a video tutorial with a transcript on
the best approach to learn Emacs and Elisp.
2. [[https://www.masteringemacs.org/][Mastering Emacs]] is a link to a blog with many interesting posts that promotes
a book on how to become a proficient Emacs user.
3. [[https://endlessparentheses.com/][Endless Parentheses]] is a blog with many mindblowing code snippets.

Section [[#sec:text-faces-or-styles][text faces or styles (info)]] tells that this setup does not use theming.
However, in order to improve visibility, it relies on:
1. Tweaking faces in memory after loading as in listing
[[lst:tweak-faces-faces-after]].
2. Shadowing the definition of faces before loading as in listing
[[lst:tweak-org-faces-before]] and [[lst:tweak-sh-script-faces-before]]. The last
item in the page on [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/examples/fontify-src-code-blocks.html#org5c4406f][fontifying Org mode source code blocks]] describes this
method.
Section [[#sec:text-faces-or-styles][text faces or styles (info)]] also defines the function
src_emacs-lisp{(my-invert-default-face)} to toggle between a dark and a light
background.

:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: sec:file-manager
:END:
[[info:emacs#Dired][Dired (info)]] and the [[https://github.com/ranger/ranger#readme][ranger]] file manager offer similar capabilities for copying,
deleting, opening, renaming, and viewing files and directories, but the
integration of [[info:emacs#Dired][dired (info)]] in Emacs is obviously much better than the
integration of [[https://github.com/ranger/ranger#readme][ranger]] in Emacs.
For instance, this setup allows to insert an =org-mode= link to an poorly
identified file containing a specific image into an =org-mode= buffer by means
of the facilities of [[info:emacs#Dired][dired (info)]] as follows:
1. Type {{{kbd(C-x d)}}} to open the directory containing the pooly identified
file with the specific image in a =dired-mode= buffer.
2. Start searching for the specific image by navigating to the name of any image
file.
3. Type {{{kbd(v)}}} to switch to view the file in an =image-mode= buffer.
4. In the =image-mode= buffer, continue searching for the specific image by
typing:
- {{{kbd(n)}}} to view the next image in the =dired-mode= buffer,
- {{{kbd(p)}}} to view the previous image in the =dired-mode= buffer, and
- {{{kbd(q)}}} to quit the =image-mode= buffer and to go back to the =dired-mode= buffer.
5. After finding the specific image, use {{{kbd(C-c l)}}} in the =image-mode=
buffer or the =dired-mode= buffer to store the =org-link=.
6. Switch to the =org-mode= buffer and use {{{kbd(C-c C-l)}}} to insert the =org-link= into the buffer.
Listing [[lst:customize-dired]] makes the directory editor sort entries
alphabetically after grouping the directories before grouping the files by
extension.

Emacs can act as a server that listens to a socket to share its state (for
instance buffers and command history) with other programs by means of a shell
command =emacsclient=. Section [[#sec:latexmk-save-compile-display-loop]] and
[[#sec:qutebrowser-userscript]] show how to use ~emacsclient~ to:
1. Install an asynchronous (or background) loop of saving a LaTeX file,
compiling it, and redisplaying the output in Emacs.
2. Make [[https://qutebrowser.org][qutebrowser]] send html links with document titles to Emacs.

The next block contains an userscript that sends a [[info:org#The store-link protocol][store-link org-protocol]]
message with the url and the title from [[https://qutebrowser.org][qutebrowser]] to =emacsclient=. The
function =urlencode= translates the url and the title for the message. The
[[info:python#Examples<22>][Python urllib examples]] show how to use =urlencode=. The final =execvp= call
deals with a [[https://qutebrowser.org][qutebrowser]] userscript requirement: the =emacsclient= process must
get the PID of the userscript that must kill itself after the take-over.
Termination of the =emacsclient= process hands control back to [[https://qutebrowser.org][qutebrowser]].
On a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX][POSIX]] system, you can run the userscript from [[https://qutebrowser.org][qutebrowser]] or from a
terminal to see whether it works. In case you try to run it from Emacs, Emacs
may hang or die.

:PROPERTIES:

[[info:vertico#Top][Vertico (info)]] provides a performant and minimalistic vertical completion UI
based on the default completion system and behaves therefore correctly under all
circumstances. [[https://cestlaz.github.io/post/using-emacs-80-vertico/][Using Vertico, Marginalia, Consult, and Embark]] links to a video
demonstration. Vertico integrates well with fully supported complementary
packages to enrich the completion UI:
1. [[info:orderless#Top][Orderless (info)]] for an advanced completion style,
2. [[info:embark#Top][Embark (info)]] for minibuffer actions with context menus,
3. [[info:marginalia#Top][Marginalia (info)]] for rich annotations in the minibuffer, and
4. [[info:consult#Top][Consult (info)]] for useful search and navigation commands,
where the order is that of [[https://github.com/bdarcus/citar#installation][enhancing citar's experience]] and the configuration
steps below.
Finally, [[https://company-mode.github.io/][company: a modular complete-anything framework for Emacs]] provides
completion in any buffer and [[#sec:minibuffer-history-completion][minibuffer-history-completion]] provides completion
on previous input in the minibuffer.

There are at least two ways (new and old) to edit the LateX preamble
=latex_header= and =latex-extra_header= export options easily in LaTeX source or
export blocks. This [[info:org#Top][Org (info)]] file uses the new way, but keeps the old way for
backwards compatibility.
The new way -- exploiting an idea of [[https://www.matem.unam.mx/~omar/][Omar Antolin Camarena]] -- is to code new
[[info:org#Editing Source Code][<LANGUAGE>-modes]] allowing to edit in LaTeX mode and to export to LaTeX code with
[[info:org#LaTeX specific export settings][correct LaTeX preamble export setting prefixes]]. Here, are links to three posts
exposing his idea:
1. [[https://www.reddit.com/r/orgmode/comments/7u2n0h/tip_for_defining_latex_macros_for_use_in_both/][Export LaTeX macros to LaTeX and HTML/MathJax preambles (reddit)]],
2. [[https://www.reddit.com/r/orgmode/comments/5bi6ku/tip_for_exporting_javascript_source_block_to/][Export JavaScript source blocks to script tags in HTML (reddit)]],
3. [[https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/28301/export-javascript-source-block-to-script-tag-in-html-when-exporting-org-file-to][Export JavaScript source blocks to script tags in HTML (SX)]].
Listing [[lst:emacs-lisp-setup-latex-header]] implements this way by means of two
new [[info:org#Editing Source Code][<LANGUAGE>-modes]]: =latex-header= and =latex-extra-header=.
#+caption[New =<LANGUAGE>-modes= to edit the LaTeX preamble easily]:

The old way is to use a special export attribute as in the function

this broken function (broken, since it relies on support only in org-mode before
=2014-11-11=). Listing [[lst:org-latex-header-blocks-filter]] proposes a fix for
=org-latex-header-blocks-filter=.

This file uses the new way, while keeping the old way for backwards
compatibility, because the new way feels less hackish than the old way. A
practical difference is that new way source blocks (contrary to old way export
blocks) do not work in [[info:org#Export Settings][#+SETUPFILE: <FILE>]], but only in [[info:org#Export Settings][#+INCLUDE: <FILE>]] files.

functions:
1. The function [[https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-element-api.html#global][~org-element-parse-buffer~]] implements a fully recursive buffer
parser that returns an abstract syntax tree.
2. The functions [[https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-element-api.html#local][~org-element-at-point~ and ~org-element-context~]] return
information on the document structure around point either at the element
level or at the object level in case of ~org-element-context~.
Listing [[lst:grok-org-element-tree]] improves the [[http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/elisp_parse_org_mode.html][Org mode parser tutorial]] by
defining interactive wrappers that pretty print the results of those
non-interactive =org-element= functions to an =Emacs-lisp= buffer.

1. [[https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot][Eglot - Emacs polyGLOT: an Emacs LSP client that stays out of your way]]. The
maintainer also contributes to Emacs itself and has a deep understanding of
[[https://sheer.tj/the_way_of_emacs.html][the Way of Emacs]]. He refuses to add new features without seeing how they fit
into [[https://sheer.tj/the_way_of_emacs.html][the Way of Emacs]] as this discussion on [[https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/issues/523][org-mode source code blocks]]
shows.
2. [[https://github.com/pythonic-emacs/anaconda-mode][Anaconda - code navigation, documentation lookup, and completion for Python]].
In my opinion, [[https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot][eglot]] has more potential than [[https://github.com/pythonic-emacs/anaconda-mode][anaconda]], but [[https://github.com/pythonic-emacs/anaconda-mode][anaconda]] is

Listing [[lst:configure-python]] tells the Python shell to disregard its environment
variables (in particular =PYTHONSTARTUPFILE=). The [[https://github.com/pythonic-emacs/pythonic#readme][pythonic]] and [[https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/pyvenv#readme][pyvenv]] packages
provide support to handle Python virtual environments within Emacs. The [[https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv][pyenv]]
package provides support to work with [[https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv#readme][pyenv]] (eventually with [[https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-virtualenv#readme][pyenv-virtualenv]])
to select between different python versions (eventually each with different
environments). In the end, all those packages do is to set
=python-shell-virtualenv-root= (in case of [[https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv#readme][pyenv]] and [[https://github.com/pythonic-emacs/pythonic#readme][pythonic]]) and tweak the
environment variables and restart the relevant Python child processes (in case
of [[https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/pyvenv#readme][pyvenv]]). Therefore, this setup replaces those packages with listing
[[lst:manage-pyenv]] to manage [[https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv#readme][pyenv]] from within Emacs and listing
[[lst:setting-python-shell-virtualenv-root]] to set

[[https://jedi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/][Jedi]] provides grammar checking and completion candidates to [[https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server][python-lsp-server]].
Only [[https://jedi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/changelog.html][jedi-0.18.1]] works with for instance [[https://numpy.org/][numpy-1.22.0]] in the sense that it does
not choke on universal functions provided that [[https://jedi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/][jedi]] does not parse but imports
[[https://numpy.org/][numpy-1.22.0]] (see [[https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi/issues/1744][jedi issue #1744]], [[https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi/issues/1745][#1745]], and [[https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi/issues/1746][#1746]]). Since the universal
functions are neither builtin methods nor data instances but a kind of "callable
instances", the [[https://docs.python.org/3/library/inspect.html][Python inspect]] module also fails to handle the universal
functions properly.

the information to [[https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server][python-lsp-server]] allowing it to handle universal functions.

instance Lisp and Python) and text (for instance LaTeX and Org) structure
intact. I use [[https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens][smartparens]] which offers a normal mode (=smartparens-mode=) and a
a strict mode (=smartparens-strict-mode=). Although both modes insert character
pairs, the normal mode allows to delete one of the paired characters easily
while the strict mode does not. Therefore, the strict mode is more for code
editing since it never breaks programming language rules and the normal mode is
more for text editing where structure is a matter of convention instead of
programming language rules.
For instance, the strict mode in Python allows to delete entire lists, tuples,
or the arguments after the cursor (what Emacs calls =point=) in a function call
without breaking the character pair balance. In order to repair a broken
character pair balance, insert a single character by prefixing it with "C-q"
bound to =quoted-insert=.
The [[https://smartparens.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html][smartparens documentation]] targets experienced Emacs users. The
following links show how to put the documentation to practical use:
1. [[https://gist.github.com/oantolin][Omar Antolin's gist "my-smartparens-config.el"]] is the first place to look for
how to tweak [[https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens][smartparens]]. However, the gist may be partially obsolete, since
it is not part of his current [[https://github.com/oantolin/emacs-config][Emacs configuration]].
2. [[https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2014-07/msg00135.html][How to enable smartparens in the minibuffer after eval-expression]] explains
how the machinery after the first and after later usages of =eval-expression=
differ and discusses options how to handle those differences.
Listing [[lst:configure-smartparens]] aims to configure [[https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens][smartparens]] for Elisp,
LaTeX, Org, and Python.
Despite the provocative post [[https://andreyorst.gitlab.io/posts/2022-02-20-what-if-structural-editing-was-a-mistake/]["What if structural editing was a mistake?"]],
[[https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens][smartparens]] is one of my favorite packages. In particular, [[https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens][smartparens]] handles
matching pairs in Org-mode files with export and source blocks for multiple
formats and languages correctly. Therefore, [[https://smartparens.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html?highlight=show-smartparens-mode#getting-started][show-smartparens-mode]] highlights
matching pairs immediately in front or after point in such files correctly,
contrary to for instance [[https://github.com/Fanael/rainbow-delimiters#readme][rainbow-delimiters]].

Narrowing means focusing in on some portion of the buffer and widening means

This setup does not configure [[info:emacs#Custom Themes][custom themes (info)]] in order to prevent endless
useless tweaking. See the [[https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2020-09-05-emacs-note-mixed-font-heights/][note on mixed font heights in Emacs]] for how to setup
fonts properly. It boils down to two rules:
1. The height of the default face must be an integer number to make the height a
physical quantity.
2. The heights of all other faces must be real numbers to scale those heights
with respect to the height of the face (those heights default to 1.0 for no
scaling).
The code in listing [[lst:configure-face-attributes]] source implements those rules.
In case of proper initialization of all face heigths, font scaling is easy as
listing [[lst:my-set-default-face-height]] shows. Finally, the code in listing
[[lst:my-invert-default-face]] allows swapping the foreground and background colors
of the default face on all frames.
