#+LATEX: \begin{abstract}
The idea of /Smart Documents/ came to me as I was reflecting on
how to improve the document creation process in my workplace. The
GNU Emacs editor had captured my imagination and I wanted to
create an accessible and highly productive text editor to benefit
my organization. In this paper, I'll lay out my vision for the
/Smart Document/, a file containing both text destined to the
reader, and code describing how to update, validate, and present
this text; then, I'll weave my personal GNU Emacs customizations
with a tutorial. This paper is a /Smart Document/ itself!
#+LATEX: \end{abstract}

* Introduction

GNU Emacs is most often used as a text editor. It would be unfair
to say it is just that, because Emacs is capable of so much
more. The utmost level of customization is afforded by enabling
the user to rewrite /any/ part of the source code and observe the
editor's modified behavior in real time. Since its inception in
1984, GNU Emacs has grown to be much more than a full-featured,
high-productivity text editor---new /modes/ have been written to
interact with hundreds of file formats, including =.txt=, =.pdf=,
=.jpg=, =.csv=, and =.zip= just to name a few. This paper itself
was written in /Org mode/, a collection of functions enabling the
harmonious mixing of code and comments in view of publication:
this is the endgame of /literate programming/, and the basis of my
vision for /Smart Documents/.

The following sections were laid out very deliberately. When we
start Emacs, the source code blocks contained in this document are
evaluated sequentially---our editing environment is constructed in
real time as we execute the blocks in order. For instance, we only
begin loading packages once we ensured ~use-package~ is working
properly.[fn::For more information on the detailed steps Emacs
takes upon starting, refer to
[[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Startup-Summary.html]].]

Customizing Emacs goes far, far beyond rewriting sections of this
document---feel free to experiment and discover. Here are three
commands that will help you understand all the symbols in this
file, if you are browsing this paper within Emacs itself:

- ~C-h f~ :: describe function
- ~C-h v~ :: describe variable
- ~C-h k~ :: describe key

You can always press ~f1~ to access Emacs built-in help.

* First-time setup

The following code blocks are normally evaluated once---upon starting Emacs for
the first time.

** TODO Unpacking our literate configuration
:PROPERTIES:
:sd-unpack-path: sd.el
:END:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle no
  (defvar sd-packed-p t
    "Boolean to track literate configuration packed/unpacked status.")

  (defvar sd-unpack-sections (org-property-values "sd-unpack-path")
    "List of target sections in `my/literate-config' to be unpacked.")

  (defun sd-unpack-sections ()
    "Unpack literate configuration into `emacs-user-directory'."
    (interactive)
    (mapcar 'sd-unpack sd-unpack-sections)
    )

  (defun sd-unpack-section (&optional section)
    "Unpack SECTION into `user-emacs-directory'.
        If nil, unpack section under point.
        Make go through list of headings and unpack first matching SECTION."
    (interactive)
    (if (not section)
        (insert
         (concat
          "\nThe contents of this Section was automatically moved to\n="
          user-emacs-directory (org-entry-get nil "sd-unpack-path") "=.\n"
          "Use `sd-pack-section' to copy the contents back into this section."))))


  (defun sd-pack-section ()
    "Pack SECTION into `my/literate-config'."
    (interactive)
    (message "foobar!!!"))

  (global-set-key (kbd "C-t") 'sd-pack-section)

  (sd-unpack "init.el")
#+END_SRC

** TODO User details

One advantage of working with /Smart Documents/ is that they can
automatically be populated with our details in the header, footer,
or other appropriate element.

#+NAME: user-details-get
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq user-full-name "Marius Peter")

(defun my/user-details-get ()
"Get user details."
    (setq user-full-name (read-string "Enter full user name:"))
    (setq user-mail-address (read-string "Enter user e-mail address:"))
    (message "Successfully captured user details."))
#+END_SRC

#+NAME: user-details
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (defun my/tokenize-user-details ()
    "Tokenize user details."

    (cons 'user-full-name user-full-name))

  (unless (file-exists-p (concat user-emacs-directory
                                 "meta/user-details"))
    (setq user-details '(user-full-name
                         user-mail-address))
    (append-to-file "Foobar\n" nil "~/.emacs.d/meta/foobar"))
#+END_SRC

** File system paths

In this subsection, we tell Emacs about relevant paths to resources.

On my MS Windows machine, I add the path to Portable Git.[fn::Download from
https://git-scm.com/download/win]

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (when (string-equal system-type "windows-nt")
    (add-to-list 'exec-path "C:/Users/marius.peter/PortableGit/bin/"))
#+END_SRC

* Early setup

** The first file to load
:PROPERTIES:
:sd-unpack-path: init.el
:END:

The contents of this Section was automatically moved to
=~/.emacs.d/init.el=.  Use `sd-pack-section' to copy the contents
back into this section.

This is the very first user-editable file loaded by
Emacs.[fn::This feature became available in version 27.1.] In it,
we disable GUI elements that would otherwise be loaded and
displayed once Emacs is ready to accept user input.

It can be found here: [[file:early-init.el]]

** The second file to load
:PROPERTIES:
:sd-unpack-path: early-init.el
:END:

#+BEGIN_QUOTE
Traditionally, file =~/.emacs= is used as the init file, although
Emacs also looks at =~/.emacs.el=, =~/.emacs.d/init.el=,
=~/.config/emacs/init.el=, or other locations.

From the GNU
website[fn::[[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Init-File.html]]]
#+END_QUOTE

This file can be found here: [[file:init.el]]

If no file is found, Emacs then loads in its purely vanilla state.

** Profiling --- start

We start the profiler now , and will interrupt it in Section
[[Profiling --- stop]]. We will then present profiling report in
Section [[Profiling --- report]].

#+NAME: profiler-start
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
; (profiler-start)
#+END_SRC

** Jumping to this file

We begin by defining a function to open this very file.

#+NAME: shortcut-config
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(defun my/find-literate-config ()
  "Jump to this very file."
  (interactive)
  (find-file (concat my/literate-config ".org")))
#+END_SRC

** Speeding up the next startup

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(defun byte-compile-literate-config ()
  "Byte compile our literate configuration file."
  (delete-file (concat my/literate-config ".elc"))
  (delete-file (concat my/literate-config ".el"))
  (org-babel-tangle-file (concat my/literate-config ".org"))
  (byte-compile-file (concat my/literate-config ".el")))

(add-hook 'kill-emacs-hook 'byte-compile-literate-config)
#+END_SRC

** Meta-files

In this section, we'll be tidying up the =.emacs.d/=
directory---by default, many Emacs packages create files useful
for themselves in our ~user-emacs-directory~. This leads to
undesirable clutter. Certain packages create files that log
recently visited files ([[Recently visited files]]); log location of
known projects ([[Projects' bookmarks]]); log location in recently
visited files ([[Location in previously visited file]]) The
commonality between all these files is that they tend to
reference... other files. Thus, I decided to refer to them as
meta-files. First, let's designate a folder to collect our
meta-files together:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(setq sd-meta-files-location (concat user-emacs-directory "meta/"))
#+END_SRC

*** Recently visited files

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (setq recentf-save-file (concat
                           sd-meta-files-location
                           "recentf"))
#+END_SRC

*** Projects' bookmarks

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (setq projectile-known-projects-file (concat
                                        sd-meta-files-location
                                        "projectile-bookmarks.eld"))
#+END_SRC

*** Location in previously visited file

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (setq save-place-file (concat
                         sd-meta-files-location
                         "places"))
#+END_SRC

*** Custom file

Load settings created automatically by GNU Emacs Custom. (For
example, any clickable option/toggle is saved here.) Useful for
fooling around with ~M-x customize-group <package>~.

#+NAME: custom-file-location
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (setq custom-file (concat user-emacs-directory "custom.el"))
  (load custom-file)
#+END_SRC

** Backups

Backups are very important!

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (setq backup-directory-alist
        `((".*" . ,temporary-file-directory))
        auto-save-file-name-transforms
        `((".*" ,temporary-file-directory t))
        backup-by-copying t    ; Don't delink hardlinks
        version-control t      ; Use version numbers on backups
        delete-old-versions t  ; Automatically delete excess backups
        kept-new-versions 20   ; how many of the newest versions to keep
        kept-old-versions 5)    ; and how many of the old
#+END_SRC

** Initial and default frames

We set the dimensions of the initial frame:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (add-to-list 'initial-frame-alist '(width  . 100))
  (add-to-list 'initial-frame-alist '(height . 50))
#+END_SRC

We also set the dimensions of subsequent frames:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(width  . 50))
  (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(height . 30))
#+END_SRC

*** GNU/Linux

These settings affect the first and subsequent frames spawned by
Emacs in GNU/Linux. Frame transparency increases when focus is
lost.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (when (and (display-graphic-p) (string-equal system-type "gnu/linux"))
    (set-frame-parameter (selected-frame) 'alpha '(90 . 50))
    (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(alpha . (90 . 50))))
#+END_SRC

** Secrets

The code contained in the =secrets.org= file is loaded by Emacs,
but not rendered in this PDF for the sake of privacy. It contains
individually identifying information such as names and e-mail
addresses, which are used to populate Org templates (Section
[[~org-mode~]]). You need to create this =secrets.org= file, as it is
ignored by =git= by default.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (let ((secrets (concat user-emacs-directory "secrets.org")))
    (when (file-exists-p secrets) (org-babel-load-file secrets)))
#+END_SRC

* Keyboard shortcuts

The following bindings strive to further enhance CUA
mode.[fn::Common User Access. This is a term coined by IBM which
has influenced user navigation cues on all modern desktop
OSes. From IBM's CUA, we get the =Ctrl-c= and =Ctrl-v= keyboard
shortcuts.]

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
 (cua-mode)
#+END_SRC

What follows are the most useful keybindings, as well as the
keybindings to the functions we defined ourselves. It doesn't
matter if we haven't defined the functions themselves yet; Emacs
will accept a keybinding for any symbol and does not check if the
symbol's function definition exists, until the keybinding is
pressed.

** Files

*** Save a file

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (global-set-key (kbd "C-s") 'save-buffer)
#+END_SRC

*** Open a file

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (global-set-key (kbd "C-o") 'find-file)
#+END_SRC

*** List open files

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (global-set-key (kbd "C-b") 'ivy-switch-buffer)
#+END_SRC

*** Open this very file

(Function defined in Section [[Jumping to this file]])

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
    (global-set-key (kbd "C-c c") 'my/find-literate-config)
#+END_SRC

*** Open a recently visited file

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (global-set-key (kbd "C-r") 'counsel-recentf)
#+END_SRC

*** Locate a file

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (global-set-key (kbd "C-c l") 'counsel-locate)
#+END_SRC

*** Open the agenda

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (global-set-key [f5] 'org-agenda-list)
#+END_SRC

*** Open the diary

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(global-set-key [f6]
		'(lambda ()
		   "Load `org-agenda-diary-file'."
		   (interactive)
		   (find-file org-agenda-diary-file)))
#+END_SRC

*** Open Org mode document properties

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(global-set-key [f9] 'sd-document-properties)
#+END_SRC

** Windows

*** Close window and quit

The following bindings lead to more natural window & frame exit behaviors.

#+NAME: close-window-or-previous-buffer
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(global-set-key (kbd "C-w")
		'(lambda ()
		   "Delete window; if sole window, previous buffer."
		   (interactive)
		   (if (> (length (window-list)) 1)
		       (delete-window)
		     (previous-buffer))))
#+END_SRC

** Frame

*** Make new frame

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (global-set-key (kbd "C-n") 'make-frame)
#+END_SRC

*** Make only frame

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (global-set-key (kbd "C-`") 'delete-other-windows)
#+END_SRC
*** Delete frame or kill Emacs

#+NAME: delete-frame-or-kill-emacs
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(global-set-key (kbd "C-q")
		'(lambda ()
		   (interactive)
		   "delete frame; if sole frame, kill Emacs."
		   (if (> (length (frame-list)) 1)
			  (delete-frame)
		     (kill-emacs))))
#+END_SRC

*** Open sidebar

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(global-set-key (kbd "<left-fringe> <mouse-1>") 'sd-sidebar)
#+END_SRC

** Text display

*** Zoom

The typical binding on both GNU/Linux and MS Windows is adequate here: ~C-=~ to
zoom in, ~C--~ to zoom out.

It seems that starting with Emacs 27.1, Control + mousewheel works.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(global-set-key (kbd "C--") 'text-scale-decrease)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-=") 'text-scale-increase)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-+") 'text-scale-increase)
#+END_SRC

** Navigation

=Alt= (=Meta=) is the privileged key for motion in a buffer. It is
followed by an optional numerical argument, and a movement
command. You may navigate in a buffer by keeping =Alt= pressed,
optionally inputting a number from the keypad or number row, then
pressing any of the following movement keys: =j=, =k=, =h=, and
=l=. You will move in that direction in the amount of the
numerical argument.

#+NAME: keybinding-navigation
#+CAPTION[Navigation keybindings]: Navigation keybindings.
#+ATTR_LATEX: :booktabs t
|           | *Backwards* | *Forwards* |
|-----------+-------------+------------|
| Character | =M-h=       | =M-l=      |
| Line      | =M-k=       | =M-j=      |
| Word      | =M-f=       | =M-b=      |
| Paragraph | =M-a=       | =M-e=      |

We prevent Org mode from overriding preferred navigation keys.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(local-unset-key (kbd "M-j"))
(local-unset-key (kbd "M-k"))
(local-unset-key (kbd "M-l"))
(local-unset-key (kbd "M-h"))
#+END_SRC

*** Move down one line

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(global-set-key (kbd "M-j") 'next-line)
#+END_SRC

*** Move up one line

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(global-set-key (kbd "M-k") 'previous-line)
#+END_SRC

*** Move left one character

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(global-set-key (kbd "M-h") 'left-char)
#+END_SRC

*** Move right one character

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(global-set-key (kbd "M-l") 'right-char)
#+END_SRC

** Customizing the editor

*** Customize a variable

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
    (global-set-key (kbd "C-c v") 'customize-variable)
#+END_SRC

*** Customize a face

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
    (global-set-key (kbd "C-c f") 'customize-face)
#+END_SRC

** One-click workflows

A major advantage of the Emacs document production system:
arbitrarily complicated functions can be assigned to very simple
keybindings. This means we can automate workflows up to a pretty
absurd level.

*** Export to PDF

PDF is probably the most prevalent file format for sharing static
documents.

**** Document

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (global-set-key (kbd "C-p") 'sd-org-quick-export)
#+END_SRC

**** TODO Presentation

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes

#+END_SRC

*** Indent buffer

Indent buffer in every mode.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (global-set-key [f12] 'sd-indent-buffer)
#+END_SRC

*** Beautify Org mode buffer

Not only indent, but also clean up superfluous newlines.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(local-set-key [f12] 'sd-org-beautify)
#+END_SRC

* Packages

Packages are collections of =.el= files providing added
functionality to Emacs.

** Meta

How do we bootstrap packages? First, let's figure out:

1. Where we get our packages from
2. How we upgrade packages
3. How we ensure our required packages are installed

*** Package archives

List of package archives.

#+NAME: package-archives
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (require 'package)
  (add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t)
  (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
  (package-initialize)
#+END_SRC

*** TODO Convenient package update

One-function rollup of upgradeable package tagging, download and
lazy install.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes

#+END_SRC

*** ~use-package~

We ensure =use-package= is installed, as well as all packages
described in this configuration file.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (unless (package-installed-p 'use-package)
    (package-refresh-contents)
    (package-install 'use-package)
    (eval-when-compile (require 'use-package)))
  (setq use-package-always-ensure t)
(require 'use-package)
(require 'bind-key)
#+END_SRC

** ~evil-mode~

Forgive me, for I have sinned.

This is the 2^{nd} most significant customization after
~org-mode~. Enabling ~evil-mode~ completely changes editing
keys.[fn::For more information on =vi= keybindings, visit
[[https://hea-www.harvard.edu/~fine/Tech/vi.html]].]

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (use-package evil)
;  (setq evil-toggle-key "C-c d") ; devil...
;  (evil-mode 1)
#+END_SRC

** Spelling, completion, and snippets

The following customizations open the doors to vastly increased
typing speed and accuracy.

*** Syntax checking

We require a package to highlight syntax errors and warnings. The
~flycheck~ package ensures we are aware of all our code's
syntactical shortcomings.

#+NAME: flycheck
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (use-package flycheck)
  (global-flycheck-mode)
#+END_SRC

*** Spelling

#+NAME: flyspell
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (use-package flyspell)
  (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'flyspell-mode)
#+END_SRC

*** Insert template from keyword

Thanks to ~yasnippet~, we can type certain keywords, then press
=TAB=, to automatically insert a predefined text snippet. We can
then navigate through the snippet by using =<tab>= (next field)
and =<backtab>= (previous field).[fn::=<backtab>= is synonymous
with pressing shift-tab.]

For instance: typing =src= then pressing =TAB= will expand the
keyword to the following text:

: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
:
: #+END_SRC

We notice that emacs-lisp is highlighted---this is the first
modifiable field. Many clever programming tricks can be performed
with ~yasnippet~ to save us a ton of time with boilerplate text!

#+NAME: yasnippet
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(use-package yasnippet)
(yas-global-mode 1)
#+END_SRC

*** Complete anything interactively

#+NAME: company
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;  (add-hook 'after-init-hook 'global-company-mode)
#+END_SRC

*** Delete all consecutive whitespaces

#+NAME: company
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(use-package hungry-delete)
(global-hungry-delete-mode)
#+END_SRC

** Utilities

*** Versioning of files

Wonderful Git porcelain for Emacs. Enables the administration of a
Git repository in a pain-free way.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (use-package magit
   :bind ("C-c g" . magit-status))
#+END_SRC

*** Navigate between projects

This enables us to better manage our =.git= projects.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (use-package projectile
   :bind ("C-c p" . 'projectile-command-map)
   :init (projectile-mode 1)
         (setq projectile-completion-system 'ivy))
#+END_SRC

*** Display keyboard shortcuts on screen

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (use-package which-key
    :init (which-key-mode))
#+END_SRC

*** Jump to symbol's definition

~dumb-jump~ is a reliable symbol definition finder. It uses
different matching algorithms and heuristics to provide a very
educated guess on the location of a symbol's definition.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(use-package dumb-jump)
(add-hook 'xref-backend-functions #'dumb-jump-xref-activate)
#+END_SRC

*** Graphical representation of file history

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(use-package undo-tree)
(global-undo-tree-mode)
#+END_SRC

*** Auto-completion framework

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (use-package ivy
    :config (setq ivy-use-virtual-buffers t
                  ivy-count-format "%d/%d "
                  enable-recursive-minibuffers t))
  (ivy-mode t)
#+END_SRC

**** Smartly suggesting interactive search matches

And he will be called Wonderful *Counselor*, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.


#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (use-package counsel
   :bind ("M-x" . counsel-M-x)
   :config (counsel-mode t))

  (global-set-key (kbd "C-f") 'counsel-grep-or-swiper)
#+END_SRC

**** Searching for items

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(use-package swiper
 :bind (("C-f" . counsel-grep-or-swiper)))
#+END_SRC

** Tree

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(use-package treemacs)
#+END_SRC

** Coding languages

*** TODO Emacs Lisp

*** Python

Python is included by default on most Linux distributions.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(use-package py-yapf)
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'py-yapf-enable-on-save)
#+END_SRC

** File formats

***  =csv= and Excel

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (use-package csv-mode)
#+END_SRC

*** Interacting with PDFs

Org mode shines particularly when exporting to PDF---Org files can
reliably be shared and exported to PDF in a reproducible fashion.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(use-package pdf-tools)
(pdf-tools-install)
#+END_SRC

*** Accounting

Ledger is a creation of John Wiegley's. It enables double-entry
accounting in a simple plaintext format, and reliable verification
of account balances through time.[fn::For more information, visit
https://www.ledger-cli.org/.]

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes

These reports can be generated within Emacs. It is quite useful to
pipe their output to an automated ``smart document''.

*** +UTF-8 bullet points in =Org mode=+

This section was removed, as it is more explicit to display the
headline character for what it is: a collection of at least one
asterisk.

* ~org-mode~

Org mode is so significant that this section of the paper deserves
its own introduction.

** Introduction

Phew, after all this initialization, I can finally introduce Org
mode! I am so *excited*.

Org mode replaces aword processor, a presentation creator, and a
spreadsheet editor. The spreadsheet ability captures more than 80%
use cases wherein one wishes to include a table in a text document
destined for physical publication. (It is clear that Excel
spreadsheets are /not/ destined for physical publication---simply
attempt to print an Excel spreadsheet with the default settings.)
In my opinion, Org mode matches all /useful/ features of the
Microsoft Office suite 1-to-1.

What follows are customizations designed to make Org mode behave
more like Microsoft Word. The end goal is, once again, to draw as
many new users to Emacs as possible!

Check out how much information Org mode keeps concerning the most
recent header:

#+NAME: org-meta-info
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle no :results pp :exports both :cache yes
(save-excursion
  (org-previous-visible-heading 1)
  (org-entry-properties))
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS[cf982044956d8f3ec89e7a9da80976b1b19db423]: org-meta-info
: (("CATEGORY" . "smart-documents")
:  ("BLOCKED" . "")
:  ("FILE" . "/home/blendux/.emacs.d/smart-documents.org")
:  ("PRIORITY" . "B")
:  ("ITEM" . "Introduction"))

** Basic customization

*** Base folder

Org base directory is in user home on GNU/Linux, or in =AppData=
in MS Windows.

#+NAME: org-directory
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
    (setq org-directory (concat user-emacs-directory "~/org"))
#+END_SRC

*** Prevent/warn on invisible edits

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(setq org-catch-invisible-edits t)
#+END_SRC

** Org cosmetics

First, we ensure the display of markup symbols for *bold*,
/italic/, _underlined_ and +strikethrough+ text, and ensure our
document appears indented upon loading.[fn::It /appears/ indented,
but the underlying plaintext file does not contain tab
characters!]

We then set values for many other Org-related cosmetic symbols.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (setq org-hide-emphasis-markers nil
        org-startup-indented t
        org-src-preserve-indentation nil
        org-edit-src-content-indentation 2
        org-ellipsis "  ") ; folding symbol
#+END_SRC

*** Dynamic numbering of headlines

We enable the dynamic numbering of headlines in an Org buffer. We
also set the numbering face to ~org-special-keyword~, which
specifies a ~:background white~ attribute. This is necessary
because otherwise, the background of the numbering may be
overridden by the ~TODO~ face attribute ~:background coral~.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'org-num-mode)
(setq org-num-face 'org-special-keyword)
#+END_SRC

By default, we hide Org document properties such as =#+TITLE=,
=#+AUTHOR=, and =#+DATE=, because those keywords are defined when
the document template is populated. We can nevertheless always
access those properties and edit them manually, with a simple
keyboard shortcut (cf. Section [[Open Org mode document properties]]).

*** Document properties

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(defun org-property-value (property)
"Return the value of a given Org document property."
(interactive)
(save-excursion
	      (goto-char (point-min))
           (re-search-forward
		     (concat
		      "^[[:space:]]*#\\+"
                      property
		      ":[[:space:]]*\\(.*?\\)[[:space:]]*$")
		     nil t)
(nth 3 (car (cdr (org-element-at-point))))))
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle no
(defun sd-document-properties ()
  "Open separate buffer to edit Org mode properties."
  (interactive)
  (let ((title (car (org-property-value "TITLE")))
	  (date (org-property-value "DATE"))) 
    (with-output-to-temp-buffer "Smart Document Properties"
      (print title)
      (print date))))
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(add-hook 'org-src-mode-hook
	  '(lambda ()
	     "Disable flycheck for `emacs-lisp-mode'."
	     (setq-local flycheck-disabled-checkers
			 '(emacs-lisp-checkdoc))))
#+END_SRC

*** Timestamps

More literary timestamps are exported to LaTeX using the following
custom format:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
    (setq org-time-stamp-custom-formats
    '("%d %b. %Y (%a)" . "%d %b. %Y (%a), at %H:%M"))
#+END_SRC

** Programming a Smart Documents

The following languages can be used inside =SRC= blocks, in view
of being executed by the Org Babel backend upon document export.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (setq org-babel-load-languages
        '((shell . t)
          (python . t)
          (plantuml . t)
          (emacs-lisp . t)
          (awk . t)
          (ledger . t)
          (gnuplot . t)
          (latex . t)))

  (org-babel-do-load-languages
   'org-babel-load-languages '((C . t)
                               (shell . t)
                               (gnuplot . t)))
#+END_SRC

** Agenda

The agenda displays a chronological list of headings across all
agenda files for which the heading or body contain a matching
=org-time-stamp=.[fn::An =org-time-stamp= can be inserted with
~C-c .~ (period)]

We open the agenda in a separate window.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (setq org-agenda-window-setup 'other-frame)
#+END_SRC

** LaTeX export

We'll be compiling our documents with LuaTeX. This will afford us
some future-proofing, since it was designated as the successor to
pdfTeX by the latter's creators.

First, we define the command executed when an Org file is exported
to LaTeX. We'll use =latexmk=, the Perl script which automagically
runs binaries related to LaTeX in the correct order and the right
amount of times.

Options and why we need them:
- ~-shell-excape~ :: required by minted to color source blocks
- ~-pdflatex=lualatex~ :: we use lualatex to generate our PDF
- ~-interaction=nonstopmode~ :: go as far as possible without
  prompting user for input

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (setq org-latex-pdf-process
        '("latexmk -pdf -f \
  -pdflatex=lualatex -shell-escape \
  -interaction=nonstopmode -outdir=%o %f"))
#+END_SRC

*** Exporting timestamps

We customize the format for org time stamps to make them appear
monospaced in our exported LaTeX documents. This makes them
visually distinguishable from body text.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (setq org-latex-active-timestamp-format
        "\\texttt{%s}")
  (setq org-latex-inactive-timestamp-format
        "\\texttt{%s}")
#+END_SRC

*** LaTeX packages

The following packages are loaded for every time we export to
LaTeX.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (setq org-latex-packages-alist
        '(("AUTO" "babel" t
           ("pdflatex"))
          ("AUTO" "polyglossia" t ; Babel replacement for LuaLaTeX
           ("xelatex" "lualatex"))
          ("" "booktabs" t ; Publication quality tables in LaTeX
           ("pdflatex"))
          ("table,svgnames" "xcolor" t ; svgnames opens up ~150 color keywords
           ("pdflatex"))
          ("skip=0.5\\baselineskip" "caption" t ; Increase space between floats and captions
           ("pdflatex" "lualatex"))))
#+END_SRC

*** Colored source blocks in PDF export

Little bonus for GNU/Linux users: syntax highlighting for source
code blocks in LaTeX exports.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(when (string-equal system-type "gnu/linux")
  (add-to-list 'org-latex-packages-alist '("AUTO" "minted" t
                                           ("pdflatex" "lualatex")))
  (setq org-latex-listings 'minted)
  (setq org-latex-minted-options '(("style" "friendly")
				   ("breaklines" "true")
                                   ("breakanywhere" "true"))))
#+END_SRC

*** Cleaning directory after export

Now, we set the files to be deleted when a LaTeX \rightarrow PDF
compilation occurs. We only care about two files, in the end: the
Org mode file for edition, and the PDF for distribution.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (setq org-latex-logfiles-extensions
        '("aux" "bcf" "blg" "fdb_latexmk"
          "fls" "figlist" "idx" "log" "nav"
          "out" "ptc" "run.xml" "snm" "toc" "vrb" "xdv"
          "tex" "lot" "lof"))
#+END_SRC

*** Chronological diary entries

By default, Org agenda inserts diary entries as the first under
the selected date. It is preferable to insert entries in the order
that they were recorded, i.e. chronologically.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
 (setq org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy 'date-tree-last)
#+END_SRC

What follows is an additional document class structures that can
be exported in LaTeX.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle no
;; (add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
;;              '("book-blendoit"
;;                "\\documentclass[12pt]{book}"
;;                ("\\chapter{%s}" . "\\chapter*{%s}")
;;                ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
;;                ("\\subsection*{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
;;                ("\\subsubsection*{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}")))
#+END_SRC

*** Table of contents

By default, body text can immediately follow the table of
contents. It is however cleaner to separate table of contents with
the rest of the work.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
 (setq org-latex-toc-command "\\tableofcontents\\clearpage")
#+END_SRC

The following makes =TODO= items appear red and =CLOSED= items
appear green in Org's LaTeX exports. Very stylish, much flair!

** TODO Org links

This is a mind-bending capacity of Org mode: we can assign
arbitrary functions to be executed when a user follows an Org
link. Org links appear like hyperlinks both in buffers and PDF
exports---e.g. the following link to this very section, Section
[[Org links]]---but their in-buffer behavior can be arbitrarily
assigned.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle no
  (org-add-link-type
   "tag" 'endless/follow-tag-link)

  (defun endless/follow-tag-link (tag)
    "Display a list of TODO headlines with tag TAG.
  With prefix argument, also display headlines without a TODO keyword."
    (org-tags-view (null current-prefix-arg) tag))

  [[tag:work+phonenumber-boss][Optional Description]]
#+END_SRC

* One-click workflows

In this section, we'll implement useful one-click workflows. It
comes later keybinding definitions for two reasons:

1. To a new user, keybindings are more important than the precise
   implementation of the bound function---it is more important to
   know how to drive a car than how a car works.
2. If the following subsections share the same name as the
   keybinding subsection (Section [[Keyboard shortcuts]]), the links
   will resolve to the earliest heading in the document, i.e. the
   keybinding subsection and not the subsection describing the
   `one-click workflow'.

** TODO Export to PDF

This reimplements the most common Org mode export: Org \rightarrow
LaTeX \rightarrow PDF. The binding is defined in Section [[Export to
PDF]].

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (defun sd-org-quick-export ()
    "Org async export to PDF and open.
    This basically reimplements `C-c C-e C-a l o'."
    (interactive)
    (org-open-file (org-latex-export-to-pdf)))
#+END_SRC

** Beautify buffer

Binding defined in Section [[Indent buffer]].

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (defun sd-indent-buffer ()
    "Indent entire buffer."
    (interactive)
    (save-excursion
      (indent-region (point-min) (point-max) nil)))
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (defun sd-org-beautify ()
    "Beautify Org mode buffer."
    (interactive)
    (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
      (sd-indent-buffer)))
#+END_SRC

* Editing preferences

These customizations enhance editor usability. They also encompass
cosmetic changes not brought about a specific package.

** Editor

*** Coding standards

This is just a better default. Don't @ me.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(setq c-default-style "linux"
      c-basic-offset 4)
#+END_SRC

*** Recent files

The keybinding for opening a recently visited file is described in
paragraph [[Open a recently visited file]].

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (recentf-mode 1)
  (setq recentf-max-menu-items 25)
  (setq recentf-max-saved-items 25)
  (run-at-time nil (* 5 60) 'recentf-save-list)
#+END_SRC

*** Fill column

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (setq fill-column 66)
#+END_SRC


** Frame

*** Header & mode lines
# Top of the buffer is more intuitive for buffer info, bottom is more intuitive
# for buffer action.

**** TODO Icons
:PROPERTIES:

interface. Emacs allows the usage of GIF images---this paves the
way for UI elements which may be animated.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes

*** Electric modes

Electricity is a very important technology. In Emacs jargon,
``electric'' modes tend to automate behaviors or present some
elegant simplification to a workflow.[fn::More information can be
found at [[https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Electricity]].]

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (electric-pair-mode) ; Certain character pairs are automatically completed.
  (electric-indent-mode) ; Newlines are always intelligently indented.
#+END_SRC

** Minibuffer

We replace the longer ~yes-or-no-p~ questions with more convenient ~y-or-n-p~.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (defalias 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)
#+END_SRC

Disable minibuffer scroll bar.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(set-window-scroll-bars (minibuffer-window) nil nil)
#+END_SRC

* Themes

Without a carefully designed theme, our editor would become
unusable. Thus, we describe two themes that were developed
purposefully and iteratively.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (setq custom-theme-directory (concat user-emacs-directory "themes/"))
  (load-theme 'blendoit-light)
  ;; (load-theme 'blendoit-dark)
#+END_SRC

** My light and dark themes

A highly legible, unambiguous, and classic theme.

*** Colors

The default face is a black foreground on a white background, this
matches MS Word. We are striving for a simple, intuitive color
scheme.

Most of the visual cues derived from color are identical in both
light and dark themes (Table [[theme-color-1]]).

#+NAME: theme-color-1
#+CAPTION[Light and dark themes' colors]: Light and dark themes' colors.
#+ATTR_LATEX: :booktabs t

*** Cursors

In order to imitate other modern text editors, we resort to a
blinking bar cursor. We choose red, the most captivating color,
because the cursor is arguably the region on our screen:

1. most often looked at;
2. most often searched when lost.

In files containing only ~fixed-pitch~ fonts (i.e. files containing only code),
the cursor becomes a high-visibility box.

In files containing a mix of ~variable-pitch~ and ~fixed-pitch~ fonts, the
cursor is a more MS Word-like bar.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(setq-default cursor-type 'bar)
#+END_SRC

*** Fonts

**** Currently used /chad fonts/

- Hack[fn::https://sourcefoundry.org/hack/] :: ~default~ and
  ~fixed-pitch~, default code font
  - Legible, modern monospace font
  - Strict, sharp, uncompromising
- Public Sans[fn::https://public-sans.digital.gov/] :: ~variable-pitch~,
  default body text font
  - Very modern yet neutral
  - Designed for the U.S. government
  - Exceptional color on screen
- Hermit[fn::https://pcaro.es/p/hermit/] :: ~org-block~, anything
  Org/meta in general
  - Slightly wider than Hack
  - More opinionated shapes
  - Very legible parentheses, very useful for Emacs Lisp!
- Jost[fn::https://indestructibletype.com/Jost.html] :: ~org-document-title~
  and ~org-level-1~
  - Ultra-modern
  - Tasteful amount of geometric inspiration

**** Previously used /virgin fonts/

- +Liberation Sans+[fn::https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_fonts] :: +~variable-pitch~+
  - Metrically compatible with /Arial/ (ugh)
  - Unoffensive, unambitious forms
  - Pretty angular letters, it's like you're trying to read squares
- +Open Sans+[fn::https://www.opensans.com/] :: +~variable-pitch~+
  - Ooh geometric Bauhaus influences, look at me
  - Tall leading height is =h a r m o n i o u s=

**** Using proportional fonts when needed

We use ~variable-pitch-mode~ for appropriate modes.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'variable-pitch-mode)
(add-hook 'info-mode-hook 'variable-pitch-mode)
#+END_SRC

**** TODO Default font size

Make default font size larger on displays of which the resolution
is greater than 1920\times1080.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
#+END_SRC

** Wealthy theme

#+LATEX: \lettrine{G}ood golly,
nobody wishes for a /pedestrian/ theme!  Let your entourage know
that you're rocking an editor fit for a king with this finely
crafted `wealthy' theme.


** TODO ~minimal~

* Late setup

At this point, our editor is almost ready to run. Phew! All that's
left to do is to interrupt our profiling activities, and smartly
store the result of our profiling.

** Profiling --- stop

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
;; (profiler-stop)
#+END_SRC

** Profiling --- report

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
;; (profiler-report)
#+END_SRC

* Conclusion

In this configuration file, we described a series of customization
steps taken to make Emacs more palatable to modern IDE users.
