14:28 UTC (new) (history) 2016-11-07 Displaying nonexistent text in Emacs buffers . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Some time ago, I received yet another email containing a date in the MM/DD/YY format, which is probably the least reasonable format in existence. (Here in Poland, the customary date format is DD.MM.YYYY, which makes much more sense. Personally, however, I very much prefer the ISO-8601-sanctioned YYYY-MM-DD format.) Since it is quite difficult to deal with date formats one is unfamiliar with, I decided to do something about it.

06:22 UTC (new) (history) 2016-10-22 locate-dominating-file . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Some time ago there was an interesting thread on the help-gnu-emacs mailing list. Basically, the OP wanted an equivalent of save-some-buffers, only not for all files, but for the ones under version control. More generally, he wanted to be able to programmatically get the list of buffers which visit files under VC. Go to the discussion to read about a few things Emacs can do. One of the things I learned from it was a very general function locate-dominating-file.

Here’s an excerpt from its docstring: Make the current definition and/or comment visible. Further invocations move it to the top of the window or toggle the visibility of comments that precede it.

23:43 UTC (new) (history) Comments on 2016-10-10 Fast font changes in AUCTeX . . . . Omar – You don't have to miss that functionality in Org Mode! You can get it from smart-parens (which is all around great and I recommend using in every . . .
03:45 UTC (new) (history) 2016-10-10 Fast font changes in AUCTeX . . . . Marcin Borkowski – This is a really simple tip, but it saves a lot of dull work. In AUCTeX, you can mark some text and press C-c C-f C-e to put an \emph around it. Type C-c C-f C-h to see other options, divided into text and math modes. But wait, there’s more!
