-* General Emacs Tips
-
- Tips might be the wrong word here, but the way I use Emacs has
- resulted into looking at some things that others might not think of
- or see.
-
-** Emacs Init File
-
- Your Emacs init file can be any of the following:
-
- - ~$HOME/.emacs~
- - ~$HOME/.emacs.el~
- - ~$HOME/.emacs.d/init.el~
-
- I personally use ~$HOME/.emacs.d/init.el~ because that way I can
- keep *everything* Emacs related in a single directory
- (~$HOME/.emacs.d~).
-
-** Displaying time
-
- I've seriously minimized the use of my window manager's task
- bar. It only shows which tags there are, some important daemons'
- status (running or not) and whether or not I have mail. This makes
- it difficult to tell time when I need it. That why it's useful to
- see what time it is in Emacs, since that is on 99.99% of the time
- I'm behind my computer, and it's very easy:
-
- #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
- (display-time-mode t)
- #+END_SRC
-
- That is all. When you have that in your [[Emacs Init File]], you will
- always have the time in your modeline.
-
-** Automatically compile startup files
-
- I know that for 99% of the things you might have in your having a
- compiled init files won't make much of a difference, but still I
- like having my init files compiled. This gets messy when you share
- your init files across multiple PCs and the source files become
- newer than the compiled ones.
-
- To fix this I've put only a very little bit of code in my actual
- [[Emacs Init File]]:
-
- #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
- (require 'bytecomp)
-
- (defvar startup-files
- (directory-files "~/.emacs.d/startup/" t "^[^.].*\\.el$")
- "A list of the files that should be loaded during startup.")
-
- (while startup-files
- (let ((filename (car startup-files))
- (byte-compile-warnings nil))
- (if (not (eq (byte-recompile-file filename nil 0) nil))
- (load (substring filename 0 -3))))
- (setq startup-files (cdr startup-files)))
- #+END_SRC
-
- It gets all the files in the ~$HOME/.emacs.d/startup/~ directory
- that end with ~.el~. It loops through all these files and compiles
- them, and then loads them. I use ~byte-recompile-file~ instead of
- ~byte-recompile-directory~ because the directory one didn't work
- quite right. It doesn't recompile anything if the source file is
- still up to date, so it only slows down when you have a lot of new
- files in the ~startup~ directory. It also disables warnings so
- that you're not bothered by them during startup.
-
-* Emacs as...
-
- There are *many* things Emacs[fn:emacs] is useful for, not just
- coding and writing, but certainly very much for these uses as well.

- Emacs features many modes for a lot of different languages.
