Other stuff
Emacs packages
Here is a list of the Emacs packages I wrote. Most have been integrated into Emacs, the rest is still maintained by me and distributed through MELPA.
Packages that are part of modern Emacs distributions
- Org-mode - An Emacs mode for notes and projet planning.
- IDLWAVE - The Emacs modes for editing and running IDL and WAVE CL files. Originally written by Chris Chase. After I did a complete overhaul, J.D. Smith took over.
- RefTeX - Support for LaTeX Labels, References and Citations with GNU Emacs. RefTeX is now maintained as part of AUCTeX.
- texmathp.el - checking LaTeX buffers for Math mode.
Packages available through MELPA
MELPA is a source of packages that can be installed in Emacs through the Emacs packaging system. The following packages by me are available there.
- CDLaTeX - more LaTeX functionality for Emacs, in particular fast templates and optimizes insertion of math symbols. It is available on MELPA.
- constants.el - An Emacs package for inserting the definition of natural constants and units into a source code buffer, for a number of different programming languages. constants.el is availble on github.
- mu2tex - Convert ASCII representation of units, numbers and molecule names to LaTeX. This package is available on MELPA.
