This setup requires at least Emacs-30. The installation procedure starts with:
1. Backup the =user-emacs-directory= which defaults often to =~/.emacs.d=.
2. Run the listing [[lst:prepare-user-emacs-directory-with-https][prepare the =user-emacs-directory= without =ssh= access]] or
the listing [[lst:prepare-user-emacs-directory-with-ssh][prepare the =user-emacs-directory= with =ssh= access]] commands.
After invoking Emacs interactively, Emacs will ask you to install a selected set
of packages. Quit Emacs and invoke Emacs again.

* 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]] exploits the extension packages [[https://github.com/minad/vertico][Vertico]], [[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]]. A curated repository
of CSL styles is the [[https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles#readme][citation style language repository]].
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 execution of
the ~org-latex-export-latex-to-latex~ command in this buffer.
Here follows a list of links on how to use Emacs and Elisp:
1. [[https://www.masteringemacs.org/][Mastering Emacs]] is a link to a blog with interesting posts that promotes a
book on how to become a proficient Emacs user.
2. [[https://www2.lib.uchicago.edu/keith/emacs/][Use GNU Emacs: The Plain Text Computing Environment]] explains the fundamentals
of the Emacs abstractions before showing how to exploit those abstractions
interactively. It targets a similar audience as the [[https://www.masteringemacs.org/][Mastering Emacs]] book.
3. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkIicfzPBys][A guided tour of Emacs]] is a link to a video tour pointing how [[info:emacs#Buffers][buffers (info)]],
[[info:emacs#Dired][dired (info)]], [[info:emacs#Help][documentation (info)]], [[info:elisp#Top][elisp (info)]], [[info:elisp#Debugging][elisp debugging (info)]],
[[info:eshell#Top][eshell (info)]], and [[info:emacs#Keyboard Macros][keyboard macros (info)]] turn Emacs in an powerful coding
and editing environment.
4. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZWp05OW1c0][Emergency Emacs]] is a link to a video on fundamental editing features and
principles with focus on [[info:ediff#Top][ediff (info)]], [[info:emacs#Undo][undo (info)]], [[info:emacs#Moving Point][moving point (info)]],
[[info:emacs#Erasing][erasing (info)]], and [[info:emacs#Dynamic Abbrevs][dynamic abbreviations (info)]].

[[info:emacs#Package Installation][Emacs installs packages]] from archives on the internet. This setup uses five
archives:
1. The [[https://elpa.gnu.org/][GNU Emacs Lisp Package Archive]].
2. The [[https://elpa.gnu.org/devel/index.html][Development Emacs Lisp Package Archive]].
3. The [[https://elpa.nongnu.org/][NonGNU Emacs Lisp Package Archive]].

5. The [[https://stable.melpa.org/#/getting-started][Stable Milkypostman's Emacs Lisp Package Archive]].
The code in listing [[lst:install-selected-packages]] assumes that the package
system is in a *virgin* state if the package [[https://github.com/emacscollective/no-littering][no-littering]] is not present:
1. It installs and loads [[https://github.com/emacscollective/no-littering][no-littering]] after ensuring refreshing of the
contents of available packages.
2. It calls src_emacs-lisp[:results silent]{(package-install-selected-packages)}
to check the installation status of all packages in src_emacs-lisp[:results
silent]{package-selected-packages} and to install the missing packages after
the user has agreed to its prompt.
3. It defines a function to ensure the installation of packages in other source
blocks.
In case of normal Emacs usage, src_emacs-lisp[:results silent]{(list-packages)}
refreshes the contents of packages and allows to update packages to the latest
version.

:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: sec:text-faces-or-styles
:END:
This setup does not use [[info:emacs#Custom Themes][custom themes (info)]], but it does a minimal setup of
fonts and faces. 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]] implements those rules.
Listing [[lst:face-setting-functions]] shows that font scaling is easy in case of
proper initialization of all face heights in a frame. To adjust the font size
in windows, invoke src_emacs-lisp{(set-default-face-height)}. To adjust the
font size in the current buffer, type {{{kbd(s-=)}}} or {{{kbd(s-+)}}} to invoke
src_emacs-lisp[:results silent]{(text-scale-adjust +1)} before making further
adjustments as displayed. Listing [[lst:face-setting-functions]],
[[lst:shadow-org-font-lock-faces]], and [[lst:shadow-emacs-font-lock-faces]] show tweaks
to improve visibility without theming:
1. Toggling between a dark and light background by means of
src_emacs-lisp{(invert-default-face)}.
2. Shadowing the definition of faces before loading. 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.
Listing [[lst:use-buffer-face-mode-for-fixed-or-variable-pitch-face]] contains
functions to set a fixed or variable pitch face in the current buffer and
selects a fixed pitch face for =magit-mode= and =progmode= buffers. Type
{{{kbd(M-x describe-text-properties)}}} to inspect faces at point. Listing
[[lst:disable-mac-mouse-change-font-size]] tries to disable accidental changing of

: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 a 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 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:set-dired-options]] makes the directory editor sort entries
alphabetically after grouping the directories before grouping the files by
extension.

[[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:embark#Top][Embark (info)]] for minibuffer actions with context menus,
2. [[info:marginalia#Top][Marginalia (info)]] for rich annotations in the minibuffer, and
3. [[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.

1. Add a buffer position to the mark ring by means of {{{kbd(C-SPACE C-SPACE)}}}

Loading =tex.el= immediately instead of lazily ensures proper initialization of
[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AUCTeX][AUCTeX]]. In particular, the ~TeX-master~ safe local variable in the =tex.el=

which is a recent feature.
3. Listing [[lst:update-lualatex-opentype-font-name-database]] defines a function to
update the =OpenType Font= name database for =LuaLaTeX= when the output of =LuaLaTeX= shows missing fonts.
4. Listing [[lst:set-bibtex-options]] configures the Emacs =bibtex= library to use
the LaTeX =BiBTeX= dialect for backwards compatibility.
5. Listing [[lst:set-font-latex-options]] disables font scaling of section titles.
6. Listing [[lst:set-latex-options]] configures =latex= for a full featured =LaTeX-section-command=.

I have split the initial [[https://orgmode.org/][Org-mode]] setup over twelve listings. Here, follows a
list detailing and motivating each listing:
1. Listing [[lst:set-org-options]] handles basic [[https://orgmode.org/][Org-mode]] options.
2. Listing [[lst:org-capture-templates]] initializes a simple capture template.
3. Listing [[lst:setup-org-babel]] sets ~ob-core~, ~ob-latex~, and ~ob-lisp~ options.
See [[info:org#Working with Source Code][working with source code (info)]] for Org Babel information.
4. Listing [[lst:looking-at-org-id]] enables recent ~org-id~ features.
5. Listing [[lst:setup-org-mode-map-1]] and [[lst:setup-org-mode-map-2]] extend the =org-mode-map= with useful key-bindings.
6. Listing [[lst:setup-org-src]] facilitates [[info:org#Editing Source Code][editing source code blocks]], and it
provides functions to change the indentation of all =org-src-mode= blocks.
7. Listing [[lst:setup-ob-python]] allows to pretty-print Python session source
block values with [[https://github.com/psf/black#readme][black]] instead of [[https://docs.python.org/3/library/pprint.html][pprint]]. This snippet may break in the
future, because it sets =org-babel-python--def-format-value= which is a
constant declared "private" by two dashes in its name!
8. Listing [[lst:set-org-export-options]] selects the =non-intrusive= expert user
interface for export dispatching.
9. Listing [[lst:setup-org-for-lualatex-export]] and
[[lst:set-ox-latex-options-for-lualatex-export]] configure [[https://orgmode.org/][Org-mode]] to generate
output for the LuaLaTeX compiler.
10. Listing [[lst:setup-org-latex-classes]] defines [[info:org#LaTeXspecificexportsettings][org-latex-classes (info)]] for
backward compatibility. For an explanation of the code in listing
[[lst:setup-org-latex-classes]], type {{{kbd(C-h v org-latex-classes)}}}.

:CUSTOM_ID: sec:engrave-faces
:END:
This package has a front-end that processes fontified buffers and pipes its
output into one of three back-ends for export to LaTeX, HTML and text with ANSI
escape codes. It is an alternative to =minted= in case of LaTeX export or to
=htmlized= in case of HTML export.
The listings below work around one issue with spacing in the =pdf= output
resulting from use of the =engraved= source block back-end during =LaTeX=
export. They increase the quality of the export results of this [[file:README.org][README.org]] and
the user-friendliness of this facility to a level acceptable for my workflow:
1. The default Org export configuration for engraving listings produces =pdf=
output with a non-equidistant interline spacing in floating listings (those
with captions) and equidistant interline spacing in non-floating =tcolorbox=
environments (those without captions). I have traced the non-equidistant
interline spacing back to the =breakable= option of =Code= environments
inside =listing= environments. However, =tcolorbox= requires =breakable= for
listings that do not fit on a page. The filter =org-latex-engraved-source-block-filter= in listing
[[lst:org-latex-engraved-source-block-filter]] and the =org-latex-engraved-preamble= customization in listing
[[lst:smart-latex-engrave-org-source-blocks]] allow to engrave =org-mode= source
blocks to "floating unbreakable with caption" or "non-floating breakable
without caption" LaTeX environments. This is a partial work-around, but part
of my workflow.
2. Listing [[lst:ox-engraved-emacs-lisp-setup]] shows how to use this configuration.

[[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:org-babel-latex-header-blocks]] implements this way by means of two
new [[info:org#Editing Source Code][<LANGUAGE>-modes]]: =latex-header= and =latex-extra-header=.
The old way is to define two Org Babel languages (=latex-extra-header= and
=latex-header=) as done in Listing [[lst:org-babel-latex-header-blocks]]. The
historic way is to use a special export attribute as in the function
=org-latex-header-blocks-filter= in [[https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/org-contrib/tree/master/item/lisp/ox-extra.el][ox-extra.el]]. Apparently, nobody is using
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 setup keeps the deprecated ways for
backwards compatibility. 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.

Two tools to grok how [[https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-element-api.html][Org mode parsing]] works are the [[https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax-edited.html][Org Syntax]] specification
and the [[http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/elisp_parse_org_mode.html][Org mode parser tutorial]]. The [[https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-element-api.html][Org element parsing API]] boils down to three
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.

Listing [[lst:configure-sly]] configures the [[info:sly#Top][Sly (info)]] Common Lisp IDE for Emacs
for use with [[http://www.sbcl.org/][Steel Bank Common Lisp (sbcl)]]:
1. It configures =sly-default-lisp= and =sly-lisp-implementations= as in the ~sly~ documentation string instead of in the [[info:sly#Multiple Lisps][multiple lisps (info)]] manual.
2. It does not ensure the [[info:sly#Auto-SLY][automatic connection to the lisp server (info)]] when
opening a Common Lisp file because it does not play well with =ob-lisp=.
3. It configures searching documentation in the [[http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Front/][Common Lisp HyperSpec]] according
to the [[info:sly#Basic customization][basic customization (info)]] manual.
Listing [[lst:slink-sel]] allows to set or get the Sly string elision length.
Finally, listing [[lst:configure-sly]] uses a technique to [[info:sly#Loading Slynk faster][load Slynk faster (info)]]
by means of a custom core file in src_emacs-lisp[:results

The [[https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/PythonProgrammingInEmacs][Python Programming in Emacs]] wiki page lists options to enhance Emacs's
built-in ~python-mode~. Here, the focus is on one Emacs package and three Python
packages:
1. [[#sec:eglot][Eglot - Emacs polyGLOT: a builtin LSP client since Emacs-29.1]] and its author
(who is a prolific Common Lisp and Emacs Lisp programmer) has also
contributed to other parts of Emacs.
2. [[https://jedi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/][Jedi]] is a static analysis tool for Python that is typically used in plugins
for editors or integrated development environments. Jedi has a focus on
autocompletion and object definition lookup functionality.
3. Nowadays, [[https://github.com/charliermarsh/ruff#readme][Ruff]] is the fastest Python linter and a replacement for [[https://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/][Flake8]] with
a variety of its plugins. [[https://notes.crmarsh.com/][Charlie Marsh]] explains why he started [[https://pypi.org/project/ruff/][Ruff]] in the
post [[https://notes.crmarsh.com/python-tooling-could-be-much-much-faster][Python tooling could be much faster]].
4. [[https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server#readme][Python LSP Server]] is in my opinion the most complete [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_Server_Protocol][Language Server Protocol]]
implementation for Python and it handles [[https://github.com/charliermarsh/ruff#readme][Ruff]] thanks to the [[https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-ruff][python-lsp-ruff]]
plugin.
# 5. [[https://github.com/astoff/code-cells.el#readme][Code-cells]] allows to edit [[https://ipython.org/notebook.html][IPython or Jupyter notebooks]] in Emacs with help
# from either [[https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext][Jupytext]] or [[https://pandoc.org/][Pandoc]].

Listing [[lst:setup-python-mode][setup Python mode]] selects a common Python interpreter in a virtual
environment for use in =python-mode= and =ob-python=. The [[https://github.com/pythonic-emacs/pythonic#readme][pythonic]], [[https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/pyvenv#readme][pyvenv]], and
[[https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/pyvenv#readme][pyvenv]] packages allow 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]]) or tweak the
environment variables and restart the relevant Python child processes (in case
of [[https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/pyvenv#readme][pyvenv]]). Therefore, I replace those packages with listing [[lst:access-pyenv][access pyenv]] and
[[lst:select-python-virtual-environment][select a Python interpreter in a virtual environment]] to set
=python-shell-virtualenv-root= from within Emacs.
Install [[https://github.com/PyCQA/isort#readme][isort]] and [[https://github.com/PyCQA/pyflakes#readme][pyflakes]] to enable adding, removing, sorting, and fixing
import statements in [[https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/lisp/progmodes/python.el][Python-mode]], see the end of the commentary

file as explained in the post [[https://bbc.github.io/cloudfit-public-docs/packaging/this_way_up.html][This Way Up: A Bottom-Up Look At Python Packaging]].
The [[https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/packaging-projects/][packaging Python projects tutorial]] and the [[https://github.com/pypa/sampleproject][Python sample project]] walk you
through the process of writing a [[https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/build-system/pyproject-toml][pyproject.toml]] file. [[https://github.com/charliermarsh/ruff#does-ruff-support-numpy--or-google-style-docstrings][Ruff docstring setup]]
explains how to setup documentation string checking in the [[https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/build-system/pyproject-toml][pyproject.toml]] file.
Finally, listing [[lst:ruff-nocolor][ruff-nocolor]] pipes the =stdout= output of the [[https://pypi.org/project/ruff/][ruff]] executable
through =cat= to remove escape sequences.

Structural editing keeps character pairs (for instance parentheses, curly and
square brackets as well as single and double quotes) balanced to leave code (for
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
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. The [[https://gist.github.com/pvik/8eb5755cc34da0226e3fc23a320a3c95][smartparens cheatsheet]] demonstrates its usage visually.
2. [[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]].
3. [[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:setup-smartparens]] aims to setup [[https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens][smartparens]] for Go, LaTeX, Lisp
dialects, Org, and Python. Execute src_emacs-lisp[:results
none]{(sp-cheat-sheet)} for short documentation taking into account the
overridden key bindings in listing [[lst:setup-smartparens]]. Table
[[tab:smartparens-commands-and-bindings]] lists commands with key bindings taken in
order from src_emacs-lisp[:results none]{(sp-cheat-sheet)} that takes the
overrides of listing [[lst:setup-smartparens]] into account. Finally, listing
[[lst:sp-eval-expression]] defines an alternative to =eval-expression= enabling
=smartparens-strict-mode= and =font-lock-mode=.
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 almost (exceptions are due to ~Search failed~ errors
inside source blocks) 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]].
