ditaa is a small command-line utility written in Java, that can convert diagrams drawn using ascii art (‘drawings’ that contain characters that resemble lines like | / – ), into proper bitmap graphics.
You have to see it to believe. For you text-heads out there, yet another great tool for us!
Guile-Emacs continues forward with GSoC.
Here is how: lexbind-mode
Excellent for use with Racket. Get it here.
Surely one of the first things VIers want to know as do the rest of us is how to move forward N characters (or backward or whatever) from the mini-buffer in EMACS. Here is how it is done, using the universal argument. So to move forward 100 chars:
C:u 100, C:f
ADDENDUM:01/13/13
Thanks FUCO for providing a better solution:
There’s also a faster way. Just hold down control key (or meta key, by default the binding is on both) and type the number, then execute the command or invoke minibuffer with M-x
So, C-2 C-0 C-f will move you 20 characters. It’s neat because you don’t have to release control, you just hit the rest of the keys in sequence.
Nice Emacs setup for playing with Elisp, make sure to enable Paredit in the REPL and disable paredit-newline:
Here is an ELPA package for the Geiser library.
The code is original from the author, I just packaged it up!
Here is one way to install it:
(require 'package)
(when (not (package-installed-p 'geiser))
(url-copy-file
"https://www.wisdomandwonder.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/geiser-0.2.1.tar"
"/tmp/geiser-0.2.1.tar"
t)
(package-install-file "/tmp/geiser-0.2.1.tar"))
