* Emacs Open Work
** TODO [#B] Get Tufte.css working
Below is one way to get Org-mode’s HTML exporter to play nicely with Tufte-CSS. The basic recipe is:
1. Inject Tufte’s stylesheet into every HTML export
2. Teach Org to emit the little “margin-toggle” + “sidenote” markup that tufte.css expects for footnotes
3. (Optionally) wrap images in <figure> so you get tufte-style captions out of the box
Along the way you’ll see where Org’s default HTML‐classes line up with tufte.css and where you have to override them.
— 1 Inject tufte.css into your exports
Put tufte.css somewhere your exported HTML can see it (for example
~/.emacs.d/assets/tufte.css or a URL on your webserver). Then in your init.el:
(with-eval-after-load 'ox-html
;; 1a) tell Org to link in your tufte.css
(setq org-html-head-extra
"<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"/assets/tufte.css\" type=\"text/css\"/>")
;; 1b) enable HTML5 “fancy” output (so you get <figure> around images)
(setq org-html-html5-fancy t
org-html-inline-images t))
— 2 Turn Org footnotes into Tufte sidenotes
By default Org emits
<sup class=…><a href="#fn:1" id="fnref:1">[1]</a></sup>
…and then a big =<div id="footnotes">= at the bottom.
Tufte-CSS wants each footnote inline, wrapped in
<label class="margin-toggle">⊕</label>
<input type="checkbox" class="margin-toggle"/>
<span class="sidenote">…your note…</span>
We can override two Org variables:
(with-eval-after-load 'ox-html
;; format of each inline footnote reference
(setq org-html-footnote-format
(concat
"<label for=\"%1$s\" class=\"margin-toggle\">"
"⊕</label>"
"<input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"%1$s\" class=\"margin-toggle\"/>"
"<span class=\"sidenote\">%2$s</span>"))
;; drop Org’s default footnote list at the end
(setq org-html-footnote-separator ""))
Once you do that, exporting an Org file with footnotes will generate the markup tufte.css needs to float them in the margin.
— 3 (Optionally) get <figure> + <figcaption> around images
If you set =org-html-html5-fancy= to t (see step 1) Org will automatically emit:
<figure>
<img src="…"/>
<figcaption>Your caption</figcaption>
</figure>
and tufte.css already has rules for =<figure class="figure">= etc.
— 4 Common pitfalls
• Make sure your href in =org-html-head-extra= actually points to the css that the browser can load (absolute vs. relative).
• If you still see a “Footnotes” section at the bottom, double-check that =org-html-footnote-separator= is set to the empty string and that your init-file got re-evaluated.
• On Windows or if you’re testing locally, run e.g. =python3 -m http.server= inside your export folder so your browser can fetch the CSS.
— 5 Unit test for your footnote hack
Drop this in =~/.emacs.d/tests/test-org-tufte.el= and run =M-x ert RET t RET=:
(require 'ert)
;; load your config; adjust the path if necessary
(load-file "~/.emacs.d/init.el")
(ert-deftest org-tufte-footnote-format-test ()
"Ensure each footnote reference becomes a margin-toggle + sidenote."
(let/ ((id "fn:42")
(content "My note.")
(html (format org-html-footnote-format id content)))
(should (string-match-p "class=\"margin-toggle\"" html))
(should (string-match-p "<span class=\"sidenote\">My note\\.</span>" html))
;; it must not accidentally reintroduce Org’s bottom-of-page footnote div
(should-not (string-match-p "div id=\"footnotes\"" html))))
Once that test passes, you know your footnotes are being rewritten into Tufte-style side notes. From there, you can sprinkle in additional filters (e.g. wrap =<blockquote>= in a =.sidenote= class, override list/p table styles, etc.) or just let the rest of tufte.css style Org’s default tags (h1, p, ul, table, code, etc.).
Enjoy your beautifully-typeset Org → HTML exports in true Tufte style!
** PROJECT [#B] Fix Dupre Theme
Here are some ideas for making dupre-theme a bit more “complete” and future-proof as an Emacs theme. You don’t have to do all of them, of course, but most “modern” themes ship a fair number of these extra faces and integrations.
*** TODO [#A] Fill out the “standard” Emacs faces
• error / warning / success
• link / link-visited / shadow
• highlight / secondary-selection
• tooltip / tooltip-selection / tooltip-tip
• underline / strike-through
• match / search / lazy-highlight (you already have some isearch)
• info-title-1…info-title-5, info-header-node, help-*-face
*** TODO [#A] Cosmetic / code-style notes
• Factor out a helper macro to reduce repetition:
#+begin_src elisp
(defmacro dupre-face (face &rest specs)
`(,face ((t ,specs))))
#+end_src
• Use =custom-theme-set-faces= only once; wrap your =when (>= emacs-major-version…)= inside it rather than nesting top-level.
• Move your ERT tests into a separate file like =dupre-theme-test.el= so that the main theme file stays lean.
*** TODO [#A] Fix launch problem with dupre
**** cj [2025-08-16 23:45:50]
[[file:.emacs.d/themes/dupre-theme.el::;;; dupre-theme.el --- A dark and elegant theme for Emacs -*- lexical-binding: t -*-][dupre-theme.el]]
I have an issue launching "emacsclient -c -a ''" with this theme. With the built-in wombat theme, emacsclient launches fine. When I specify this theme to load during launch, emacsclient does not launch.
Here is what I see in the terminal when launching:
[25-08-16 23:44:44] cjennings velox:~ [1]

Is there something about how this theme is written that may be causing this? If it's unlikely, how would you recommend I diagnose this problem?
**** ChatGPT: o4-mini [2025-08-16 23:51:03]
It turns out that nothing mystical is happening in your =dupre-theme.el= that would prevent the Emacs server from creating its socket. When =emacsclient= says:
emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server?
it really does mean “there is no running Emacs –daemon laying down =<…>/server/= for me to talk to.” By itself, loading a custom theme (even one with a few Unicode ellipses or =display-graphic-p= branches) will not stop the server socket from being created. What is much more often the culprit is:
1. Mis-using =emacsclient -a ''= so that it never actually starts the server, or
2. Having a startup error in your init file (or theme) that aborts =server-start= before the socket ever gets written.
Here is how I’d go about diagnosing (and fixing) the situation:
1) Make sure you can start Emacs –daemon cleanly, /without/ any of your custom code.
From a shell, run
emacs --daemon --debug-init --eval "(message \"daemon ok\")"
– you should see a process stick around, and if you look at =~/.emacs.d/server/= you should find a valid socket file.
If that does not happen, Emacs itself is aborting in your init. Remove or comment out your calls to =load-theme=, your theme-specific code, all your =custom-set-…= blocks, and any other ELisp until you can get a clean daemon start. Once that is rock-solid, re-introduce your theme.
2) Once you can start the daemon by hand, verify that =emacsclient -c= can actually talk to it:
emacsclient -c -n
The =-n= is “don’t wait for the client buffer to finish,” so you’ll get your GUI frame immediately. If that works, the server is up and your sockets are good.
3) If you /really/ want =emacsclient -c -a ''= to both start Emacs –daemon /and/ immediately pop a graphical frame, you have two choices:
• Let =-a= fall back to =emacs --daemon=. On many platforms simply omitting the =-a= will do this.
• Explicitly tell it:
emacsclient -c -a "emacs --daemon" # note the command in quotes
On macOS/Homebrew, for instance, people often do
alias ec='emacsclient -c -a "emacs --daemon"'
so that if there is no server, emacsclient will shell out to =emacs --daemon=, launch it, and /then/ connect.
4) If you still suspect your theme is triggering a startup error (and killing the daemon before it gets to =(server-start)=), you can sprinkle a tiny bit of ELisp into your init:
#+begin_src elisp
;; very early in ~/.emacs or init.el
(setq debug-on-error t)
(add-hook 'after-init-hook
(lambda ()
(message "finished init; about to (server-start)")))
(require 'server)
(unless (server-running-p)
(server-start))
#+end_src
Then run:
emacs --daemon --debug-init
and watch =~/.emacs.d/server/server= get created or watch the =*Messages*= buffer or your =~/.emacs.d/emacs-debug.log= (if you redirect =--debug-init= output). If there is a hard error in your theme, you will get a backtrace in your =*Backtrace*= buffer.
5) Finally, a sanity check for your theme file. Launch Emacs /without/ your init:
emacs -Q
Then:
M-x load-file RET /path/to/dupre-theme.el RET
M-x load-theme RET dupre RET
If this produces any errors or warnings in =*Messages*= or =*Warnings*=, you have your smoking gun.
---
Summary
-------
• *The theme itself isn’t going to silently block server-socket creation.*
• *You almost certainly have either:*
– A mis-invocation of =emacsclient -a ''= so that it never starts Emacs –daemon.
– A genuine startup error in your init or in the theme that kills Emacs before =(server-start)= runs.
• *Use*
emacs --daemon --debug-init
plus removing chunks of your init until you find the offending form.
• *Test your theme in a vanilla Emacs (=-Q=)* to see any compile/load errors.
Once you have a clean =emacs --daemon= up and running you will find that
emacsclient -c # or with your favorite fallback: -a "emacs --daemon"
just works, whether you are on wombat, solarized, or good old dupre.
*** TODO [#B] Make sure you define a “minimum package” set of faces so that folks don’t see glaring unstyled text in any part of Emacs, even if they never install extra packages.
*** TODO [#B] Improve terminal support:
• Detect true-color (=(display-graphic-p)=) vs 256-color vs 16-color and fall-back gracefully.
• Provide “256-color” approximations (you already do this), but you might want a simpler palette for legacy terminals.
*** TODO [#B] Other Packages
The rest is just more of the same—pick the most common modes/packages you and your users rely on and give them a quick coat of paint. Once you’ve rounded out those faces you’ll have hit what most people expect from a “complete” modern Emacs theme.
Based on a quick skim of your modules/ directory (and the packages they pull in via use-package), here’s a non-exhaustive list of the major packages you’re using—along with the faces you should think about adding to dupre-theme so that nothing ends up looking “unstyled.”
1. completion/mini-frameworks
• vertico (vertico-current, vertico-group-title, vertico-separator, vertico-doc)
• orderless (orderless-match-face-0…3)
• consult (consult-preview-line, consult-narrow, consult-region, consult-file)
• marginalia (marginalia-annotation, marginalia-document, marginalia-cache)
• embark (embark-general, embark-heading, embark-target, embark-helpful)
• corfu + cape (corfu-default, corfu-current, corfu-bar, cape-file, cape-keyword etc.)
• company (company-tooltip, company-tooltip-selection, company-scrollbar-thumb)
2. ivy/counsel/swiper (if you ever load them side-by-side)
• ivy-current-match, ivy-minibuffer-match-face-1…4
• counsel-outline, swiper-match-face-1…
3. syntax checkers & LSP
• flycheck (flycheck-error, flycheck-warning, flycheck-info)
• eglot or lsp-mode (lsp-face-highlight-textual, lsp-face-highlight-read, lsp-face-semantic-type-…)
• tree-sitter (tree-sitter-hl-face:function, :variable, :property, …)
4. git & diffs
• magit (magit-section, magit-section-title, magit-hunk-heading, magit-branch, magit-log)
• diff-hl / git-gutter (diff-hl-face-insert, diff-hl-face-delete, git-gutter:added, git-gutter:deleted)
• diff-mode (diff-added, diff-removed, diff-context, diff-file-header)
5. project management & navigation
• projectile (projectile-project-name, projectile-project-root)
• treemacs (treemacs-root-face, treemacs-directory-face, treemacs-file-face)
6. Org-mode
• org-document-title, org-level-1…org-level-8
• org-checkbox, org-todo, org-done, org-warning, org-date, org-code, org-block
• plus any “pretty” add-ons you use (org-bullets, org-modern, etc.)
7. Hydra / which-key / key-help
• which-key (which-key-key-face, which-key-group-description-face, which-key-local-map-description-face)
• hydra (hydra-face-red, hydra-face-blue, hydra-face-teal, hydra-face-amaranth)
8. visual helpers
• rainbow-delimiters-depth-1…9
• highlight-indent-guides-odd/even
• highlight-parentheses-/
• beacon (beacon), whitespace (whitespace-space, whitespace-tab, whitespace-newline)
• display-line-numbers (line-number, line-number-current-line—you already have these)
9. UI polishers
• all-the-icons (all-the-icons-blue, all-the-icons-red, …) on modeline or treemacs
• doom-modeline (doom-modeline-bar, doom-modeline-buffer-path)
• fancy-splash/dashboard-faces if you use a startup screen
10. terminals & shells
• vterm (vterm-copy-region-highlight)
• ansi-colors (ansi-color-face-bold, ansi-color-face-italic, ansi-color-[0…7])
To figure out exactly which ones you have in your modules, you can do for example:
#+begin_src elisp
;; from your ~/.emacs.d
(let (pkgs)
(dolist (f (directory-files "~/.emacs.d/modules" t "\\.el$"))
(with-temp-buffer
(insert-file-contents f)
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (re-search-forward "use-package +\\([^ ]+\\)" nil t)
(push (intern (match-string 1)) pkgs))))
(delete-dups pkgs))
#+end_src
Then for each of those packages, grep in their repo for =defface= or check their manual to see which faces they define, and add reasonable dupre-colours for them. Once you’ve covered that list, you’ll have a “complete” theme that won’t leave any of your modules half-unstyled.
*** TODO [#C] Support the built-in “tab-bar” and “tab-group” faces (Emacs 27+)
• tab-bar / tab-bar-tab / tab-bar-tab-inactive
• tab-bar-close / tab-bar-separator
• tab-group-title / tab-group-separator
*** TODO [#C] Add faces for =dired=, =diff=, =flycheck=/=flymake=, =magit= (or git-gutter),
=ediff=, =erc= etc. For example:
• diff-added, diff-removed, diff-context, diff-file-header
• flycheck-error, flycheck-warning, flycheck-info
• magit-section, magit-log, magit-hunk-heading, magit-branch, etc.
*** TODO [#C] Org-mode
• org-level-1…org-level-8, org-document-title
• org-checkbox, org-code, org-date, org-todo, org-done, org-warning
• org-block, org-block-begin-line, org-block-end-line
*** TODO [#C] Completion frameworks & minibuffer enhancements
• ivy-current-match / ivy-minibuffer-match-face-1…4

*** 2025-06-28 Sat @ 12:42:19 -0500 User's Method for Alarms In Emacs
This is more than I actually want, but leaving here for reference.
#+BEGIN_QUOTE
I am quite happy with the system I use, which does (I think) exactly what you want. It has two parts: an Emacs part that uses appt.el to schedule the reminders and a small shell program (I'm using Linux) that creates the popup + sound notification. Here I share the code for both parts.
A) Code in ~/.emacs.d/init.el
(require 'appt)
(appt-activate t)
(setq appt-message-warning-time 5) ; Show notification 5 minutes before event
(setq appt-display-interval appt-message-warning-time) ; Disable multiple reminders
(setq appt-display-mode-line nil)
; Use appointment data from org-mode
(defun my-org-agenda-to-appt ()
(interactive)
(setq appt-time-msg-list nil)
(org-agenda-to-appt))
; Update alarms when...
; (1) ... Starting Emacs
(my-org-agenda-to-appt)
; (2) ... Everyday at 12:05am (useful in case you keep Emacs always on)
(run-at-time "12:05am" (* 24 3600) 'my-org-agenda-to-appt)
; (3) ... When TODO.txt is saved
(add-hook 'after-save-hook
'(lambda ()
(if (string= (buffer-file-name) (concat (getenv "HOME") "/ideas/TODO.txt"))
(my-org-agenda-to-appt))))
; Display appointments as a window manager notification
(setq appt-disp-window-function 'my-appt-display)
(setq appt-delete-window-function (lambda () t))
(setq my-appt-notification-app (concat (getenv "HOME") "/bin/appt-notification"))
(defun my-appt-display (min-to-app new-time msg)
(if (atom min-to-app)
(start-process "my-appt-notification-app" nil my-appt-notification-app min-to-app msg)
(dolist (i (number-sequence 0 (1- (length min-to-app))))
(start-process "my-appt-notification-app" nil my-appt-notification-app (nth i min-to-app) (nth i msg)))))
B) Code in ~/bin/appt-notification
#!/bin/sh
TIME="$1"
MSG="$2"
notify-send -t 0 "<br>Appointment in $TIME minutes:<br>$MSG<br>"
play "~/bin/alarm.wav"
To get voice notifications you could replace the last line (play) with the following:
espeak "Appointment in $TIME minutes: $MSG"
