#+TITLE: A small vignette about config.org
#+author: screwlisp
This is just a little note about my other file, ==config.org==
(==.txt==).
That file has a CALLable function, ==define-and-screwtape-block==,
which defines, names and runs a keyboard macro that
1. goes to the end of the file (==M->==)
2. Adds a heading at the current level (==M-<RET>==)
3. Names and defs an elisp src block (==C-c C-v d <RET> elisp <RET>== etc)
4. Starts a text block afterwards
That should be filled in by the user.
It should be called (in ==~/.emacs.d/config.org==) by placing the
cursor in the line
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
#+CALL: define-and-screwtape-block()
#+END_EXAMPLE
and pressing ==C-c C-c==.
This should take you to the end of the file and add an elisp block and
heading.
You should change the heading and name (must-be-hyphenated), and write
elisp that you want to happen when you start emacs in the new source
block.
Write your own text about it after the source block (mandatory).
When you tangle ==C-c C-v t== with the cursor not in one particular
source block, all the elisp blocks not specially marked ==:tangle no==
will get tangled into a new elisp file,
==~/.emacs.d/my-org-config.el==.
Then in your init file - which I assume is ==~/.emacs.d/init.el==,
being an elisp file (emacs is an elisp program) you can add something
like these two lines
relatively near the top.
#+begin_src elisp :export code
(require 'org)
(load "~/.emacs.d/init.el")
#+end_src
My intent is to make the customising-emacs-startup traditional
learning experience be more similar to how I jam code in emacs
org-mode.
