Emacs Configuration Files


[back to top]

The emacs editor is an extensible, highly customizable text editor. I will not attempt to explain the myriad ways that it may be customized, I merely supply my personal emacs configuration files:

  • Main configuration file -- copy to your home directory and rename to .emacs
    mv dotemacs .emacs
  • Additional configuration files -- copy to your home directory, unzip, and rename to .Emacs (this will enable syntax highlighting for Matlab code)
  • tar -zxf Emacsdir.tar.gz
    rm -f Emacsdir.tar.gz
    mv Emacsdir .Emacs
Note: these installation instructions are only applicable to UNIX/Linux systems. The same files may be used on Windows and Mac OS X, with minor modification.
