This talk is aimed at those who would be interested in using Emacs for
school purposes. What it will present the listeners with is a
collection of tips and trick on how to be more efficient when taking
notes and organizing student life. Methods should apply to a target
audience studying at a university or high school.
Outline:
- **Part 1:** 5 - 10 min
- Present benefits of using Emacs over other software/hand-writing
- Present packages which support the mentioned benefits
- Packages used
- Usage and application of each package
- The ecosystem as a whole
- **Part 2:** ~5 min
- Demonstrate the work-flow
- Show applications in various regions of academics
- External input from other users

## Notes
- ReOrg <https://github.com/velocitatem/reorg>
- LectOrg <https://gitlab.com/velocitatem/lectorg>
## Questions and answers
- Q:regarding exporting notes from remarkable does this system works
with any tablet? Would love to use it with a boox max etc.
- A: Unfortunately, it does not (directly). The current software I
use makes use of OneDrive so in theory it could be integrated
with others.
- Q: quiliro: is there a demo for lector?
- A: quiliro See <https://gitlab.com/velocitatem/lectorg>
- Q: <quiliro> velocitatem: are you opening the pdf inside emacs?
- A: The PDF was being open in firefox.
- Q:Have you tried org-noter for taking notes on pdfs?
- A:I have not, will make sure to check it out tho!
- Q: How does lectorg diverge from using something like YASnippets for
the math insertations, etc.
- A: It uses YASnippets to inser the math functions, the main idea
is to provide those snippets and to use them with lectorg's
functions to plot graphs.
- Q: Can your notes interact with the vidoes at all? ex timestamps or
inserted subs, external player "mpv"
- A: As of now, they cannot, but that is a wonderful idea!
- Q: do you find that you can type fast enough / keep up with live
lectures using Lectorg?
- A: Not 100% but the package makes it easier for me to deal with
other things while taking notes
- <korkeala> velocitatem : thanks for the talk! you mentioned
integration with remarkable notes, could that be with other hand
writing software, like xjournalpp?
- A: I am really not certain, but im sure it could be. Since
reMarkable has a very proprietary cloud, the integration is a
bit of a hack.
- Q: Is there a way of making latex rendering go in the background?
Also to lower its
- A:
- Q: did you open that firefox from inside EXWM or is it a separate frame?
- Its bspwm
- Q: "With lectorg you can easily capture the every detail without your attention wavering a single bit." What makes Lecter not waver your attention?
- Not 100% but the package makes it easier for me to deal with other things while taking notes
- It makes some actions more automated and quicker
- You can see some of the functions and snippets improving my speed when opening certain files or creating markup for my notes
- how does the remarkable import works? can it be used with other tablets?
- Speaker: I am really not sure, but im sure it could be. Since reMarkable has a very proprietary cloud, the integration is a bit of a hack
- how does the function graphing work?
- Insert new latex function with graph using `lectorg/insert-new-function`
- Generate graph for existing latex function with `lectorg/generate-graph-for-function`
- I do read using nov.el and I use bookmarks. Is there a way to link the ePUB to your org documents?
- how long have you been using Emacs? Did you find that you could take notes productively right away or did it take you a while before you reached the point where you could follow e.g. a lecture sufficiently quickly?
- Iv been using Emacs for about a year now. It definitely took me a while to become more productive
- nov.el adds nov: link type
- How you considered using something like https://mathpix.com/blog/image-to-latex-converter to speed up your workflow entering Maths equations, I wonder if an streamlined integration exists for that in Emacs already 🤔
- I also have a remarkable, and would love to learn more about how other people integrate their hand-drawn notes into their org-mode notes :)
- thanks velocitatem! I am considering whether to recommend it to my students; I have been using Emacs a long time and it is easy to forget how long it took to get into it ;)
- yeah, same. Both handwritten notes and Treesitter are super interesting to me :)
