Organize your plain-life in plain-text. The hallmark feature of Emacs, ~org-mode~[fn:1] is the king of markup languages. It has rich feature support for project management, scheduling, development, and writing. It's hard to convey everything within its capabilities.

* Setup

Define a custom hook when ~org-mode~[fn:1] is enabled to customize the experience:

+ Enable ~org-indent-mode~ to indent and align text with the parent heading
+ Enable ~visual-line-mode~ to allow text to overflow and wrap to the next visual line
+ Enable ~variable-pitch-mode~ to support multiple font-pitches and monospaced fonts

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun dotfiles/org-mode-hook ()
  (org-indent-mode)        ;; Indent and align text.
  (visual-line-mode 1)     ;; Allow text to overflow line.
  (variable-pitch-mode 1)) ;; Enable monospaced fonts.
#+end_src

* Config

Force ~straight~ to ignore the local version of ~org-mode~[fn:1], instead downloading the most recent version available.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(straight-use-package '(org :local-repo nil))
#+end_src

Setup the default babel languages and structure templates, and apply customizations:

+ Setup ~org-mode-hook~ with our custom hook
+ Setup ~org-ellipsis~ to show headlines with hidden contents
+ Setup ~org-log-*~ for event logging
+ Setup ~org-src-*~ for source blocks
+ Setup ~org-todo-keyword~ sequence

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package org
  :hook (org-mode . dotfiles/org-mode-hook)
  :custom (org-ellipsis " ▾")
          (org-log-done 'time)
          (org-log-into-drawer t)
          (org-return-follows-link t)
          (org-image-actual-width nil)
          (org-directory dotfiles/home)
          (org-src-fontify-natively t)
          (org-src-tab-acts-natively t)
          (org-src-preserve-indentation t)
          (org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil)
          (org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO" "START" "WAIT" "DONE")))
  :config (require 'org-tempo) ;; Required for structure templates.
          (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist '("s" . "src"))
          (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist '("q" . "quote"))
          (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist '("e" . "example"))
          (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist '("sh" . "src shell"))
          (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist '("el" . "src emacs-lisp"))
          (org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '((shell . t)
                                                                   (emacs-lisp . t))))
#+end_src

** Headline stars

Make the headline stars a bit more *super* with ~org-superstar-mode~[fn:2]. Only enable this inside of a window system, as the effect can be distracting on the TTY.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package org-superstar
  :when (window-system)
  :after org
  :hook (org-mode . org-superstar-mode))
#+end_src

* Methods

Define some custom methods for use in the rest of the configuration.

** Tangle directory

Build all of the ~org~ files within a given directory, recursively. This is used in CI.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun dotfiles/tangle (dir)
  "Recursively tangle the Org files within a directory."
  (interactive)
  (let ((org-files (directory-files-recursively dir "org")))
    (dolist (f org-files)
      (org-babel-tangle-file f))))
#+end_src

** Force symbolic links

Function that takes in a system and configuration file path, checks to see if the system file doesn't exist, or doesn't point to the configuration file, deleting it for the latter, then creating a symbolic link to the configuration file in place.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun dotfiles/symlink (src tgt)
  "Forces a symlink from `src' to `tgt'."
  (interactive)
  (let ((sys-file (expand-file-name tgt))
        (dot-file (expand-file-name src)))
    (when (or (not (file-exists-p sys-file))
              (not (equal (file-symlink-p sys-file) dot-file)))
      (delete-file sys-file)
      (make-symbolic-link dot-file sys-file))))
#+end_src
