I've just stumbled on this blog post with a view-text-file-as-info-manual function that uses pandoc and org's ox-texinfo to convert various formats into info for convenient #emacs browsing.

It did a great job on the Fennel language reference, it looks a lot better than what I got via pandoc->texinfo->makeinfo. No index but that would be hard to conjure up from a generic markdown file. The top level TOC looks great, node jumps work well and code block are displayed as such.

I quite often want to have two parts of the same file side-by-side to either diff them or edit them. I thought I share how I do it in :emacs: #emacs in case it helps someone:

1. open the file
2. M-x clone-indirect-buffer (the name says it all)
3. in each buffer, go to the places you want and narrow to region (C-x n n)

Now you can edit or diff regions of the same file with ease 🤓

Render eww.el bookmarks and history as HTML.

eww.el has commands to manage bookmarks and history but I wanted a version that uses HTML so that eww-lnum and other eww functionality works as usual. This also adds a new my-eww-global-history variable because the normal eww-history is buffer-local.

In #emacs, sometimes you want to surround a region with some text or delimiters -- say, <div> and </div> in HTML, or == for Mediawiki headers, or similar.

There was a blog post a while back that had a nice function for that -- I improved it so that you can repeatedly call the function and it will correctly nest the text it inserts. That is, you can first surround an HTML region with a span, then immediately call surround-region again without re-marking the region, tell it to surround the region with a div, and it will correctly nest the HTML tags.

Take a look at https://gist.github.com/dandrake/864f642850acaa3534cf5029868d12eb and let me know if you find any bugs or have suggestions.

I wrote a small post on using the rx macro in places where it's not supported, e.g. in Lisp data files.

rx is a macro which takes a special Lisp form and complies it to a regular expressions string.

The post demonstrates how I use #orgmode with noweb expansion to insert rx results in a source file. In this case, I use it to write scoring rules for elfeed-score with more readable regular expressions.

A very nice feature in Emacs 30 that got recently merged is etags-regen-mode by Dmitry Gutov:

+++<br></br>** New global minor mode 'etags-regen-mode'.<br></br>This minor mode generates the tags table automatically based on the<br></br>current project configuration, and later updates it as you edit the<br></br>files and save the changes.<br></br>

I found it useful when working with C code, will have to try other languages as well. By default it uses the etags executable, which depending on your system might be Universal or Exubrant Ctags.

TIL: With consult-grep you can pass on additional grep flags with the -- separator. E.g.:

to get matches with 3 lines of 'after' context.

i just bumped the mastodon.el version used by ELPA to the latest one (it had been stuck on an old version because i didn't know how ELPA tracks versions).

i also added an only-media profile view, as per a request, and an tagged-with profile view.

holler if you run into any issues after updates.

happy tooting.

In #emacs when you run find-file and the filename you specify includes wildcards the default behavior is to open all of the matching files. I find this too unpredictable so it's almost never what I want.

What I'd like instead is to bring up the matching files in dired just as if I'd used C-x d instead. This is not supported out of the box so I came up with the following advice:

(defun my-find-file-noselect-wild-dired (orig filename &optional nowarn rawfile wildcards)<br></br>  "Run dired when find-file is given a wildcard path"<br></br>  (if (and wildcards<br></br>           (not (file-name-quoted-p filename))<br></br>       (string-match "[[*?]" filename)<br></br>           (> (length (file-expand-wildcards filename t)) 1))<br></br>      (dired-noselect filename)<br></br>    (funcall orig filename nowarn rawfile wildcards)))<br></br><br></br>(advice-add 'find-file-noselect :around #'my-find-file-noselect-wild-dired)<br></br>

The file-name-quoted-p function checks for a /: prefix which is a magical tramp path to quote the filename. It's part of the normal wildcard path so I figured I'd include it too.
