The Complete Computer

org-tempofn1 https://orgmode.org/org.html#Structure-Templates provides easy templating in org-mode buffers and I use them to make it easier to write code for the CCE . I can tab across <s and <q to expand to source and quote blocks, along with many others (and it's customisable of course through org-tempo-keywords-alist.)

emacs-lisp source: 
(provide 'cce/literate-programming)
(use-package org-tempo
  :ensure nil
  :after org)

Bernt Hansen provides a function and a hook to automatically show images after org-babel executes:

emacs-lisp source: 
(add-hook 'org-babel-after-execute-hook 'bh/display-inline-images 'append)
(defun bh/display-inline-images ()
  (condition-case nil
      (org-display-inline-images)
    (error nil)))

Do not prompt to confirm evaluation. This may be dangerous - make sure you understand the consequences. I'm of two minds here; on the one hand, hanging to confirm every source block is terrible, but on the other hand, I'd like to have some modicum of security. In reality, I should set this only for my own files somehow.

emacs-lisp source: 
(setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil)

Leave comments in the tangle to make it easier to untangle later on; I will mainly be using this in Lipu Kasi - A Plant Diary

emacs-lisp source: 
(add-to-list 'org-babel-default-header-args '(:comments . "link"))

Configure what languages I want to use for org-babel:

emacs-lisp source: 
(org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages
                             '((emacs-lisp . t)
                               (dot . t)
                               (ditaa . t)
                               (python . t)
                               (ruby . t)
                               (gnuplot . t)
                               (shell . t)
                               (org . t)
                               (plantuml . t)
                               (js . t)))

Output to a lowercase'd results block.

emacs-lisp source: 
(setq org-babel-results-keyword "results")

This helper sets web-mode to use Elixir when I set a source block's type to eex

emacs-lisp source: 
(defadvice org-edit-special (before org-edit-src-code activate)
  (let ((lang (nth 0 (org-babel-get-src-block-info))))
    (if (string= lang "web")
        (web-mode-set-engine "elixir"))))

Finally, org-edit-src simply cannot steal my window configuration from me.

emacs-lisp source: 
(setq org-src-window-setup 'current-window)

org-auto-tangle configuration; any buffer with a keyword of #+auto_tangle to non-nil will tangle on save.

emacs-lisp source: 
(use-package org-auto-tangle
  :defer t
  :diminish
  :hook (org-mode . org-auto-tangle-mode))

emacs-lisp source: 
(setq org-plantuml-executable-path "/nix/store/gyznjv622jqc8d1x56r7c4wp2rq8md7m-plantuml-1.2023.1/bin/plantuml")
