plug EWS in the working Emacs setup

[gour]

Hello!

I've purchased your ebook, subscribed to YT channel, and I'm ready to become serious. :-)

For some time time I was considering to try Doom Emacs and modal editing, but decided to stay with vanilla bindings. Currently I have working setup using use-package specs. There is part covering org-mode (for task management), mu4e etc. so I wonder what would be the easiest way to "plug in" EWS setup to my current configuration?

I'll probably try to mimic the large part of EWS except that I'll most likely continue writing web content using org-mode, but then convert to [Tiki])(https://tiki.org/HomePage) avoid fiddling with 3rd party apps to cover forms/comments/search...

Hi Saša, Thanks for buying the book. If you already have a configuration than you can easily copy the bits you need. EWS is not like Doom Emacs. The idea of EWS is to give people a head start and then they can maintain their own con fig. The GitHub repository contains the Org mode source files. Use the Appendix to take what you need. Note that there is also the ews.el file, which contains the convenience functions. I am planning to convert this to a package soon. So I suggest to copy what you need and load the ews.el file for the additional functionality. What do you use to export Org mode to Tiki? Regards P:) Saša Janiška ***@***.***> writes:

That is cool!

OK, thanks for the hint.

What do you use to export Org mode to Tiki?

Tiki is moving to (Commonmark) Markdown, so orgmode --> markdown is not a problem. 😉

Btw, I was/do still considering the possibility to use ox-hugo, so wonder how does Emacs serve you for web development, e.g. when working with Hugo themes and editing golang template along with html//css autocompletion?

Hi Saša,

I use Hugo for my website without any packages.

This blog post explains how I achieve this: https://lucidmanager.org/productivity/create-websites-with-org-mode-and-hugo/

Hugo can natively process Org mode files. There are some limitations, but it works fine for me.

Thank you - I'm aware of it.

I was not considering creating the content, but about layout part, iow. there is a need, eventually, to customize some Hugo theme and then one has to work with CSS/HTML/JS/golang-templates, so I am curious how to solve that part within Emacs?

Yes, I manage my Hugo template on Emacs. it is just plain text, so easy to edit. Emacs can work with any plain text format.

I developed a theme, which is available on: https://github.com/pprevos/hugo-thirdhemisphere. You can of course use any theme you choose and modify to your liking.

My workflow is now super easy. I add or modify Org mode content or edit the template. Then run a bash script and my website is updated to the latest version.

OK, so it looks like you didn't have to fiddle a lot with golang/hugo templates. 😉

I must admit that I also consider org2blog (after I read some posts from Irreal...yeah I know about security issues in regard to WP, but there are plenty of support for it and org2blog also does provide comfort of writing in Emacs, easy usage of images in posts etc.

I developed my own Hugo template from scratch (in Emacs).

There are lots of ways to blog from Emacs. It all depends on your personal preferences.

Good luck,
