Org Mode

I use emacs org-mode at work for managing voicemails and tasks, and at home for cataloging recipes.

I have a script set up in my recipes.org file that generates a PDF with all of the recipes, uses that to produce a bifold booklet with pdfbook2, and exports to HTML before uploading everything to this page.


      #+BEGIN_SRC elisp
      (setq org-html-self-link-headlines 1) (setq html-head-include-scripts nil) (org-latex-export-to-pdf) (org-html-export-to-html) (shell-command-to-string "pdfbook2 recipes.pdf -b 10 -t 10 -o 10 -i 10 -n -p letterpaper") (shell-command-to-string "scp recipes.html recipes.pdf recipes-book.pdf recipes.org webserver:/var/www/html/recipes/")
      #+END_SRC
  

The script is executed by placing your cursor over the line in emacs, and pressing C-c C-c to evaluate it. You need LaTeX packages installed to generate the PDFs, and you need access to whatever server it is uploaded to.

Emacs open and editing my cookbook in org mode. Using emacs.

My Emacs Config

Here is my emacs config file. I try to keep the keybindings as close to stock as possible, so it's easier to switch between multiple systems.
