I use Literate Programming to mix up my configuration code and the explanatory comments so that I can easily pick the meaning of a piece of code after a long time.

The most of the code base comes from Steve Purcell’s emacs.d and what I’m gonna do is to translate them in a literate programming way. (P.S. It was refered in Mastering Emacs in One Year Guide)

The init.el is learnt from Sacha Chua’s config and the official babel guide. With this I can auto load my org file into initialization progress.

The Org-mode config comes from here.

I use the digit number to indicate the execute order the all the org files. Currently there are 3 levels:

• 0-xxx.org: personal variables setting
• 1-sys.org: all the universal package configs
• 2-xyz.org: settings for major mode xyz

;; placeholder for init.el tangle handler

The current progress of translating Steve Purcell’s config is:
