However, it&rsquo;s primary content mode is Markdown, and writing in <code>org-mode</code> feels much better than writing in Markdown. <code>org-mode</code> can automatically convert to Markdown, but then I have to edit the generated Markdown file to add YAML front-matter that Hugo consumes, which is annoying.</p> <p>Enter <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/"><code>ox-hugo</code></a>. It allows you to maintain and generate Hugo-compatible Markdown in <code>org-mode</code>, and automatically generates the necessary metadata Hugo requires. However, like all good things in life, you have to work a little to configure it to your liking. (What&rsquo;s an extension without spending a couple hours of life figuring out exactly how to make it conform to your workflow in the pursuit of &ldquo;optimization&rdquo;). This is how I configure <code>ox-hugo</code> to write all my blog posts (including this blog post!).</p>https://terrenceho.dev/post/how-i-started-using-emacs/Mon, 17 Jun 2019 16:53:00 -0700https://terrenceho.dev/post/how-i-started-using-emacs/<p>This is how I started using GNU Emacs with no prior experience. This is intended to help those who want to start using Emacs as well. I&rsquo;ll start from a base setup, show you where I looked around for help, show you how I found myself using my current configuration. While this post goes through the steps to get started with Emacs, I definitely omitted the steps that didn&rsquo;t help or the parts where I floundered around not knowing what I was doing.</p>
