Org Mode

#+STARTUP: showall
Inspired by such other projects as the literal Emacs init from [[http://sachac.github.io/.emacs.d/Sacha.html][Sacha
Chua]] and also from [[http://www.wisdomandwonder.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/C3F.html][Grant Rettke]], here is my Emacs initialization file.
*Note:* This is not my entire Emacs initialization file. It's a
work-in-progress. To keep on top of any changes to this file, or any
other part of my Emacs init, I recommend you follow [[http://code.ryuslash.org/dot/tom/emacs/][This project]] ([[http://code.ryuslash.org/dot/tom/emacs/atom/?h=master][Atom
feed]]), which is where I keep my configuration.
* Preparation
I could use org-babel to load this file, but I don't like my
initialization file being dependent on too many things, especially
big things, and org is a big thing. It may be strange for you to
read this, as I have placed my entire Emacs configuration in an
org-mode file, but here are the make targets I use to tangle and
subsequently byte-compile my init file:
#+BEGIN_SRC makefile
%.elc: %.el
emacs -Q -batch -eval "(byte-compile-file \"$<\")"
init.el: init.org
emacs -Q -batch -l "ob-tangle" -eval "(org-babel-tangle-file \"init.org\")
#+END_SRC
Executing the second target (either through make, or manually) will
get you my Emacs initialization file in plain Emacs Lisp.
*Note:* If you look at this file in it's org-mode form you will
notice that I actually tangle ~init.org~ into ~init2.el~. This is a
temporary measure so that I can gradually move my configuration
from my existing ~init.el~ file into ~init.org~ without much trouble.
Once I've emptied out my ~init.el~ I will instruct babel to tangle
into ~init.el~, this code already reflects that.
* The ~oni:~ prefix
To keep my functions and variables from ever accidentally
interfering with other packages or Emacs internal variables I
prefix all the functions I write and variables I declare with ~oni:~.
You don't have to copy it if you copy anything from this file, as
long as you do it consistently.
