This library provides common desirable features using the Org interface for blocks and links: 0. A unified interface, the ‘defblock’ macro, for making new block and link types. 1. Colours: Regions of text and inline text can be coloured using 19 colours; easily extendable; below is an example. #+begin_red org /This/ *text* _is_ red! #+end_red 2. Multiple columns: Regions of text are exported into multiple side-by-side columns 3. Remarks: First-class visible editor comments 4. Details: Regions of text can be folded away in HTML 5. Badges: SVG badges have the pleasant syntax badge:key|value|colour|url|logo; only the first two are necessary. 6. Tooltips: Full access to Lisp documentation as tooltips, or any other documentation-backend, including user-defined entries; e.g., doc:thread-first retrives the documentation for thread-first and attachs it as a tooltip to the text in the HTML export and as a glossary entry in the LaTeX export 7. Various other blocks: Solution, org-demo, spoiler (“fill in the blanks”). This file has been tangled from a literate, org-mode, file; and so contains further examples demonstrating the special blocks it introduces.
