Description

This layer enables org mode for Spacemacs.

Features:

• Vim inspired key bindings are provided by evil-org-mode
• Nicer bullet via org-bullets
• A pomodoro method integration via org-pomodoro
• TODO capture via org-repo-todo
• presentation mode via org-present

Important Note

Since version 0.104, spacemacs uses the org version from the org ELPA repository instead of the one shipped with emacs. Then, any org related code should not be loaded before dotspacemacs/user-config, otherwise both versions will be loaded and will conflict.

Because of autoloading, calling to org functions will trigger the loading up of the org shipped with emacs wich will induce conflicts. One way to avoid conflict is to wrap your org config code in a with-eval-after-load block like this:

  (with-eval-after-load 'org
    ;; here goes your Org config :)
    ;; ....
    )

Install

Layer

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add org to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

Github support

To install Github related extensions like ox-gfm to export to Github flavored markdown set the variable org-enable-github-support to t.

  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
    (org :variables
         org-enable-github-support t)))

Gnuplot support

Org-mode support the plotting of data within tables through Gnuplot as demonstrated here; unfortunately, this is not terribly well supported on Windows at this stage. It is possible to disable the configuration of gnuplot support as usual by adding the package gnuplot to your dotspacemacs-excluded-packages variable.

Different bullets

You can tweak the bullets displayed in the org buffer in the function dotspacemacs/user-config of your dotfile by setting the variable org-bullets-bullet-list. By default the list is set to ("◉" "○" "✸" "✿").

  (setq org-bullets-bullet-list '("■" "◆" "▲" "▶"))
