One of the "common" (heh) solutions is to use org-babel to have a "literate programming" version of your .emacs that you then weave/tangle into the real .emacs

Personally, I've tried this approach with some smallish programming projects and literate programming has to be a good fit for your way of coding. Since I'm quite a big tester-rewriter, LP is a heavy chore. Of course, I'd probably get better doing it more often.
- mitchty 12y agoI've seen org mode init.el files using babel, I honestly really can't see the benefit of literate programming in this way. It makes debugging so much harder than it need be. In small doses it seems.... ok..ish
- RBerenguel 12y agoThat's what I felt with my own code (was javascript) I guess it depends on how you code, is not for me.
- hsitz 12y agoThey seem to imply that no weave/tangle would be necessary with Outshine. At least I assume that's how it would work with the outline headings 'outcommented in the comment syntax of the major-mode language'.
- RBerenguel 12y agoYup, looks like it, and probably does (since outline mode does, more or less, kind of and sometimes.)
