I presume that paredit is useful because it's a minor mode, so you can enable it on an org-mode buffer (e.g. using babel). But if you are editing a .el file, then emacs-lisp mode provides all these facilities (C-M-f -> forward-sexp, etc.) and you don't need paredit. Do I have that right? Thanks, Nick PS. The ultimate *reference* for emacs lisp is the Emacs Lisp Reference manual http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/index.html At some point in one's emacs-lisp programming life, it will be necessary to refer to it - but it is very much a reference manual, not a tutorial. _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
