I am new to emacs (I made a commitment to getting used to linux) & currently intimidated Can you help me out here?
Has anyone here configured Emacs for:
- Shell-scripting
- Markdown
- HTML+CSS
- Rust
Don’t know where to start (I do know the bare-min basics on using Emacs as a text-editor)
Hello! Welcome to Emacs!
Contrary to the other commenters, I would suggest starting with an out-of-the-box Emacs and only adding the things you need, as you need them.
As for your question, could you provide more detail about your expectations?
In the absence of it, I’ll give you some generic responses:
markdown-mode: https://github.com/jrblevin/markdown-modehtml-modethat is included by out of the box: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/HTML-Mode.htmlHow about Org-Mode as a viable Markdown functionality/editor etc…?
Yes org-mode is an excellent alternative to markdown. Emacs offers a ton of features out of the box related to org-mode. However it is intrinsically tied with Emacs, so if you aren’t sure about Emacs, then I wouldn’t suggest using org-mode as a replacement just yet. I do encourage you to give it a shot though!
If Org-Mode is anything like Markdown, then I can probably use it
