What Jorge said. I’m not a huge fan but I didn’t bother to fix it. Since I used org-reveal it looks easily fixed, see: https://github.com/yjwen/org-reveal#the-hlevel > If find whom you choose to mention by name in the Org part particular. > E.g. add-on authors are named, the original author isn't mentioned, but > his profession is, ob is mentioned, but the main author isn't mentioned...

I think that getting a lot of packages into Emacs and changing the defaults is a much bigger project, that I wouldn’t be able to help out with. best, Erik -- Sent from my free software system <http://fsf.org/>.
