A simple Emacs minor mode for a nice writing environment.
Features
Set a desired text body width to automatically resize window margins to keep the text comfortably in the middle of the window.
Text body width can be the number of characters (an integer), a fraction of the window width (a float between 0.0 and 1.0), or nil which uses the value of
fill-column+2.Interactively change body width with:
olivetti-shrinkC-c { { { ...olivetti-expandC-c } } } ...olivetti-set-widthC-c |
If
olivetti-body-widthis an integer, the text body width will scale with use of text-scale-mode, whereas if a fraction (float) then the text body width will remain at that fraction.Change the way the text body margins look with option
olivetti-style: use margins, fringes, or both for a fancy "page" look.Customize
olivetti-fringeface to affect only Olivetti buffers.Optionally remember the state of
visual-line-modeon entry and recall its state on exit.
Olivetti keeps everything it does buffer-local, so you can write prose in one buffer and code in another, side-by-side in the same frame.
