To be honest I am not sure myself :) > Do you want Org markup to be displayed in non-Org buffers? Well, part of it. Or more to make some parts of org-markup configurable, an= d usable as minor modes so they can be easier used outside of org-mode. For example about links, there could be a mode "text-link-mode" or "pretty-links-mode" or something, that understands what a link description = is, and what a link itself is. The minor mode would have some mean to parse description and link parts, and when on it would do what org-toggle-link-di= splay does. For example org uses angle brackets for link desc and url, whereas markdown uses angle brackets and parenthesis. Thus link-mode could/should b= e enough customizable so that modes could be clients of this minor mode, as w= ell as for user to be able to setup a regex or set a function that recognizes s= ome custom syntax for descriptions and links. Also a minor mode can come with a= key map and some actions, for example to follow link, to insert a link etc. I t= hink of org-links, but a bit more generalized and usable without org-mode itself. Org-mode could use those under the hood. Similarly for italics, bolds, underlines, etc. Those could be slightly generalized and taken out into minor mode. Clients could setup their own start/end markers and use them to enrich the text on the display instead of perhaps defining own faces and regexes. I don't know how useful and desirab= le it might be in other modes, perhaps in comments in programming languages, or similar. Just a thought. org-timestamp interactiveity could be usable elsewhere than just in org mode. For example I can insert org-timestamp in any mode, but it does work= to use C-left/right to change the date. It could be refactored into small tiny minor mode timestamp-mode or something, that comes with tis mode map and en= able this interactive stuff. ascii tables or org tables started as its own mode but got consumed by org.= They are still usable outside of org mode. I can create table with org-table-cre= ate and I can align table with org-table-align, but by default I don't have thi= s functionality bound in some keymap if I am not in org-mode. Perhaps I am ju= st not familiar with it. But this could be a minor mode also. I guess org-capture is a candidate, and probably some others. By refactoring out those things, org-mode loose nothing, since everything i= s still available in Emacs, and everything could be still used in org-mode un= der the hoos, but it would be easier to use those things in other major modes. = It might also be easier to work with org-mode if it is less monolithic. I am sorry if it is too scatchy, and uninformed, it is just some thoughts I= had, but I was never really motivated to do those things myself. ________________________________ Fr=E5n: Ihor Radchenko Skickat: den 20 augusti 2024 19:40 Till: arthur miller Kopia: emacs-devel@gnu.org ; emacs-orgmode@gnu.org =C4mne: Modularizing Org as GSoC project (was: New Emacs features via Googl= e Summer of Code (or other similar stipend schemes) (was: as for Calc and t= he math library)) arthur miller writes: >> ... >>Are there any specific todo items there that you view as more suitable >>for people with limited experience in Emacs codebase? > > I am not sure if this is something, I hope you don't mind me asking, but = could a > work to modularize Org, be an appropriate subject?

I would like to hear in more details what you have in mind. As is, your proposal appears to be for multiple projects. Or am I mistaken? For links in particular, Hyperbole already implements the described minor mode, or what am I missing? For tables, dates, and other markup, it is not clear what you want to achieve.

To be honest I am not sure myself :)

Well, part of it. Or more to make some parts of org-markup configurable, an= d
usable as minor modes so they can be easier used outside of org-mode.

For example about links, there could be a mode "text-link-mode" o= r
"pretty-links-mode" or something, that understands what a link de= scription is,
and what a link itself is. The minor mode would have some mean to parse
description and link parts, and when on it would do what org-toggle-link-di= splay
does. For example org uses angle brackets for link desc and url, whereas
markdown uses angle brackets and parenthesis. Thus link-mode could/should b= e
enough customizable so that modes could be clients of this minor mode, as w= ell
as for user to be able to setup a regex or set a function that recognizes s= ome
custom syntax for descriptions and links. Also a minor mode can come with a= key
map and some actions, for example to follow link, to insert a link etc. I t= hink
of org-links, but a bit more generalized and usable without org-mode
itself. Org-mode could use those under the hood.

Similarly for italics, bolds, underlines, etc. Those could be slightly
generalized and taken out into minor mode. Clients could setup their own
start/end markers and use them to enrich the text on the display instead of=
perhaps defining own faces and regexes. I don't know how useful and desirab= le it
might be in other modes, perhaps in comments in programming languages, or
similar. Just a thought.

org-timestamp interactiveity could be usable elsewhere than just in org
mode. For example I can insert  org-timestamp in any mode, but it does= work to
use C-left/right to change the date. It could be refactored into small tiny=
minor mode timestamp-mode or something, that comes with tis mode map and en= able
this interactive stuff.

ascii tables or org tables started as its own mode but got consumed by org.= They
are still usable outside of org mode. I can create table with org-table-cre= ate
and I can align table with org-table-align, but by default I don't have thi= s
functionality bound in some keymap if I am not in org-mode. Perhaps I am ju= st
not familiar with it. But this could be a minor mode also.

I guess org-capture is a candidate, and probably some others.

By refactoring out those things, org-mode loose nothing, since everything i= s
still available in Emacs, and everything could be still used in org-mode un= der
the hoos, but it would be easier to use those things in other major modes. = It
might also be easier to work with org-mode if it is less monolithic.

I am sorry if it is too scatchy, and uninformed, it is just some thoughts I= had,
but I was never really motivated to do those things myself.

Yes, it can be.

RMS previously asked us to do exactly this:
ht= tps://orgmode.org/list/E1kIPh1-0001Lu-Rg@fencepost.gnu.org

Also, see previous discussion on re-integrating org-capture into remember.e= l:
https:/= /yhetil.org/emacs-devel/87bka7c2e0.fsf@localhost
Similar for org-protocol.el.

I would like to hear in more details what you have in mind. As is, your
proposal appears to be for multiple projects. Or am I mistaken?

For links in particular, Hyperbole already implements the described
minor mode, or what am I missing?

For tables, dates, and other markup, it is not clear what you want to
achieve. Do you want Org markup to be displayed in non-Org buffers?
