I just tell them to do Emacs Tutorial. There is no need for page when it is built-in. I tell them, open Emacs and do the tutorial, then let me know. Later we do not talk much, we just do the work. > Btw, I've taught Emacs to beginners many times, but as "Emacs-the- > Lisp-environment", not as "Emacs-the-editor"... in some cases, like in > LaTeX workshops, lots of students who had never used Emacs before were > happily writing their own one-line elisp hyperlinks and defuns after > just one hour, but in some other cases my approach failed miserably... Answer is simple: (info "(eintr) Top") You could use that as curriculum for the workshop. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
