Expanded on the "round quotes" in org files
Now have expanded rules as to when to insert (and delete) the single or double quotes, and they act the same with the addition of a new helper function.

The [[help:version-control][version-control]] variable affect backups (not some sort of global VC setting), this makes numeric backups.

I like the rendering to curved quotes using [[help:text-quoting-style][text-quoting-style]], because it improves the readability of documentation strings in the =∗Help∗= buffer and whatnot.

** Typographic Quotes

According to [[http://endlessparentheses.com/prettify-your-quotation-marks.html][Artur Malabarba]] of [[http://endlessparentheses.com/prettify-you-apostrophes.html][Endless Parenthesis]] blog, I type a /straight quote/, ", Emacs actually inserts Unicode rounded quotes, like “this”. This idea isn’t how a file is /displayed/, but actually how the file is /made/. Time will tell if this idea works with my auxiliary functions on my phone, like [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orgzly&hl=en_US&gl=US][Orgzly]] and [[https://github.com/amake/orgro][Orgro]].

According to [[http://endlessparentheses.com/prettify-your-quotation-marks.html][Artur Malabarba]] of [[http://endlessparentheses.com/prettify-you-apostrophes.html][Endless Parenthesis]] blog, I type either a /straight single or double quote/, ", Emacs actually inserts Unicode rounded quotes, like “this”.

|

|
||||
Stealing his function, and updating it a bit, so that “quotes” just work to insert /rounded/ quotation marks:
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
||||
(define-key org-mode-map "\"" #'endless/round-quotes)
|
||||
(defun ha--insert-round-quotes (opening closing)
|
||||
"Insert rounded quotes in prose but not inside code.
|
||||
The OPENING and CLOSING variables are either or .
|
||||
|
||||
(defun endless/round-quotes (italicize)
|
||||
"Insert “” and leave point in the middle.
|
||||
With prefix argument ITALICIZE, insert /“”/ instead
|
||||
\(meant for org-mode).
|
||||
Inside a code-block, just call `self-insert-command'."
|
||||
(interactive "P")
|
||||
(if (and (derived-mode-p 'org-mode)
|
||||
(org-in-block-p '("src" "latex" "html")))
|
||||
(call-interactively #'self-insert-command)
|
||||
(if (looking-at "”[/=_\\*]?")
|
||||
(goto-char (match-end 0))
|
||||
(when italicize
|
||||
(if (derived-mode-p 'markdown-mode)
|
||||
(insert "__")
|
||||
(insert "//"))
|
||||
(forward-char -1))
|
||||
(insert "“”")
|
||||
(forward-char -1))))
|
||||
Rules:
|
||||
|
||||
• At beginning of line or after a space (in other words,
|
||||
single-quoting a word or phrase), insert OPENING and CLOSING
|
||||
string, and leave point between them.
|
||||
|
||||
• At beginning of existing word, insert OPENING, as the assumption
|
||||
is to go somewhere else to insert the CLOSING character.
|
||||
|
||||
• If looking at the CLOSING character, move past it.
|
||||
|
||||
• Otherwise, insert an CLOSING character, as this is probably
|
||||
finishing the quotation.
|
||||
|
||||
Inside a code-block, just call `self-insert-command'."
|
||||
(cl-flet ((insert-pair ()
|
||||
(insert opening) (insert closing) (forward-char -1)))
|
||||
|
||||
;; Don't do anything special in code blocks:
|
||||
(if (and (derived-mode-p 'org-mode)
|
||||
(org-in-block-p '("src" "latex" "html")))
|
||||
(call-interactively #'self-insert-command)
|
||||
|
||||
;; Define some regular expressions to make the `cond' clearer:
|
||||
(let ((existing-word (rx word-start))
|
||||
(starting-anew (rx (or bol space)))
|
||||
(existing-endq (rx (or "'" "\"" (eval opening) (eval closing))
|
||||
(optional (any "=_/*")))))
|

(cond
|

((looking-at existing-word) (insert opening))
|

((looking-back starting-anew) (insert-pair))

((looking-at existing-endq) (goto-char (match-end 0)))

(t (insert closing)))))))

|

Stealing function for automatically adding a single quote (not in pairs):
|
||||
Now we can take advantage of the abstraction for “double quotes”:
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
||||
(define-key org-mode-map "'" #'endless/apostrophe)
|
||||
(defun ha-round-quotes ()
|
||||
"Insert “” and leave point in the middle.
|
||||
Inside a code-block, just call `self-insert-command'.
|
||||
See `ha--insert-round-quotes' for rule details."
|
||||
(interactive)
|
||||
(ha--insert-round-quotes "“" "”"))
|
||||
|
||||
(defun endless/apostrophe (opening)
|
||||
"Insert ’ in prose or `self-insert-command' in code.
|
||||
With prefix argument OPENING, insert ‘’ instead and
|
||||
leave point in the middle.
|
||||
Inside a code-block, just call `self-insert-command'."
|
||||
(interactive "P")
|
||||
(if (and (derived-mode-p 'org-mode)
|
||||
(org-in-block-p '("src" "latex" "html")))
|
||||
(call-interactively #'self-insert-command)
|
||||
(if (looking-at "['’][=_/\\*]?")
|
||||
(goto-char (match-end 0))
|
||||
(if (null opening)
|
||||
(insert "’")
|
||||
(insert "‘’")
|
||||
(forward-char -1)))))
|
||||
(define-key org-mode-map "\"" #'ha-round-quotes)
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
And something similar for single quotes:
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
||||
(defun ha-apostrophe ()
|
||||
"Insert ‘’ and leave point in the middle.
|
||||
Inside a code-block, just call `self-insert-command'.
|
||||
See `ha--insert-round-quotes' for rule details."
|
||||
(interactive)
|
||||
(ha--insert-round-quotes "‘" "’"))
|
||||
|
||||
(define-key org-mode-map "'" #'ha-apostrophe)
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
Quote: “From this time forward, I shouldn’t have to worry about quotes.”
|
||||
|
||||
*Note:* I still need to worry about how quotes affect [[file:ha-org.org::*Spell Checking][spell checking]].
|
||||
|
||||
What would be nice, is that if I end quotes using the functions above, that if I immediately delete, I delete both pairs.
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
||||
(defun ha-delete-quote-pairs (&optional N)
|
||||
"If positioned between two quote symbols, delete the last.
|
||||
Used as advice to `org-delete-backward-char' function."
|
||||
(when (and (looking-at (rx (any "\"" "'" "`" "”" "’")))
|
||||
(looking-back (rx (any "\"" "'" "`" "“" "‘"))))
|
||||
(org-delete-char N)))
|
||||
|
||||
(advice-add #'org-delete-backward-char :before #'ha-delete-quote-pairs)
|
||||
|

#+END_SRC

* Org Beautify
|
||||
I really want to use the Org Beautify package, but it overrides my darker themes (and all I really want is headlines to behave).
