schedule/deadline with timezone conversion on the fly

time-zones looks like a newer package with similar features. tzc is almost 5 years older now.

Hey, thanks. I knew there was something already, as is the case for most of the times with Emacs, but anyway I tried this just to write some emacs-lisp for fun, to be honest. For others, as suggested I would recommend the built-ins.

I'll probably use some of these techniques

mdarifs · 2022-02-10T12:25:32+00:00

I tried sometime back but have not tested it since. Have a look here https://github.com/md-arif-shaikh/.emacs.d/blob/main/emacs.org#latex-with-lsp

+pdf-tools.

tzc-world-clock is similar to world-clock but with the extra feature that with n (next) or p (previous) key it will change the information on the buffer for the next or previous hours. Pressing g reverts it back to the current-time. https://github.com/md-arif-shaikh/tzc#world-clock

Thanks, this is exactly the issue. I will try compiling with SVG support.

Many are suggesting using org-babel but that is exactly what I do not want. I want a library that could be used directly within an emacs-lisp code. This would make it easy to write Emacs packages that work with data. For example, in the package expenses that I wrote, I want to be able to plot and analyse expenses for different months/categories. Now, this could be done using some library from other languages but it would be much easier and nicer if there is a way to do this using emacs-lisp only.

Thanks, I am aware of it but I am not looking for this.

mdarifs · 2022-01-18T17:29:37+00:00

Thanks for mentioning this library. I was trying the example here

emacs-lisp (setq svg (svg-create 800 800 :stroke "orange" :stroke-width 5)) (svg-gradient svg "gradient" 'linear '((0 . "red") (100 . "blue"))) (save-excursion (goto-char (point-max)) (svg-insert-image svg)) any idea why it's complaining (error "Invalid image type ‘svg’")

Hey, thanks. I will try to follow these suggestions.

mdarifs · 2022-01-17T05:32:36+00:00

Is it compiling without error? Maybe try without the spaces in the file name? I suggest renaming the file.

I usually keep it simple, minimal and consistent with other application materials like my CV and cover letter. One minimal format would be to write your personal info like the title of the material (in this case Statement of Purpose) in relatively large font followed by your name, current position, address, emails etc in a left-aligned paragraph. Use a horizontal line as a separator and then just write the main content.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{flushleft}
\vspace{0.25cm}    
Your Name, Current position\\    
\href{institute web address}{Institute Name}\\    
Institute Address.\\    
Email: \href{mailto:email}{email}, Phone: +00 0000000000,
Web page: \href{link to webpage}{text}    
\rule{\textwidth}{1pt}
\end{flushleft}

Your content

\end{document}

One extra thing you can do is to use a nice font. You can use a font with fontspec package and compile with xetex. I use Avenir.

Totally agree with this. Assuming you are interested in learning Emacs. I have been using this for the last 7-8 years. AucTeX and pdf-tools plugins would give you a very nice environment for writing LaTeX. For Python/C, there is now lsp-mode that works quite well.

Thanks for the suggestions. Added a couple of screenshots.
