* Package Manager

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: h1-package-manager

:END:



*Dependencies*: Cask, pallet.



Third party libraries are managed by Cask and pallet.  Every morning I open up

the terminal and enter the =emacs.d= directory, type =cask update= will update

and byte-compile the packages listed in a file named =Cask=.  When you install

packages inside Emacs, =pallet= makes sure that =Cask= is updated accordingly.



* Org Mode

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: h1-org-mode

:END:



#+ATTR_ORG: :width 700

[[file:docs_src/img/orgmode.png]]



- Scientific paper writing, with ~org-ref~ package.  The org file may be exported

  to nearly all well-known format.  I've been using Org mode for dissertation,

  conference paper, slides (~beamer~) and much more.

- A complete TODO system, can be as simple or as complicated as possible.

- Agenda, with habits tracking, compatible with Google Calendar events.



* Bibliography Manager

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: h1-bibliography-manager

:END:



This is a killer feature for scientific paper writing in Org-mode.



~helm-bibtex~ allows fuzzy-search on the bibtex file.



#+ATTR_ORG: :width 700

Associate PDF file, note file with a bibtex entry, and jump among them.

Specifically, {{{kbd(C-c o p)}}} opens the PDF file, {{{kbd(C-c o n)}}} opens the note file

and {{{kbd(C-c o c)}}} jumps to the bibtex entry.  For example, when you are viewing

the PDF in Emacs, {{{kbd(C-c o n)}}} opens the note file (create one if necessary),

{{{kbd(C-c o c)}}} jumps to the bibtex entry for this PDF file.

Cleanup/format bibtex entries, auto construct keys for bibtex entries.  You

could copy a bibtex entry from online, and press {{{kbd(C-c C-c)}}}, the entries will

be cleanup as follows.  The ~timestamp~ is automatically inserted.



#+ATTR_ORG: :width 700

[[file:docs_src/img/bibtex.png]]



With the help of ~org-ref,~ we can quickly insert citations to org files, which

can be exported to TeX, PDF or HTML with appropriate reference list.



* Email

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: h1-email

:END:



#+ATTR_ORG: :width 700

[[file:docs_src/img/mu4e.png]]



A full-fledged email client with ~mu4e~.  Current settings are compatible with

multiple Gmail and Office 365 accounts.



* Editing Enhancement

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: h1-editing-enhancement

:END:



** Writeroom with Fill-column Indicator

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: h2-writeroom-with-fill-column-indicator

:END:



The buffer content is centered, especially useful when you have a wide screen.

This is not compatible with =linum-mode= (said to be fixed in Emacs 26), which I

never use.  ~fill-column-indicator~ shows a dimmed white line at ~fill-column~.



** Whitespace

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: h2-whitespace

:END:



It highlights trailing spaces, leading/trailing empty lines, and automatically

cleans up them when saved.
