Literate Ledger Programming(?) with Org-mode

Recently, given the economic hardships presented by the current pandemic, coupled with the fact that I have started making my own money, I have started to keep track of my finances. I have always known that I would use Ledger, the command line account tool, to manage my money. Ledger was created by an Emacs maintainer, which hints to a very good Emacs integration, and indeed =ledger-mode= offers a great environment for editing, reporting and modifying Ledger files. But even though it is a pretty complete major mode, I missed being

Contrived (La)TeX templates for Org-mode

In my for ever long task of achieving Emacs and Org-mode configuration nirvana I stumbled upon the problem of trying to reuse a couple of .tex files I keep as templates for my (La)TeX exports for Org-mode. As I started to collaborate more and more in my TeX files, I realized that this setup would also need to be TeX-wise independent, that is, the exported .tex file should be self contained and self sufficient, so that I can keep collaborating and other people can see my work and (hopefully) reproduce whatever I have written without my

xmodmap -e "remove mod4 = Hyper_L"
xmodmap -e "add mod3 = Hyper_L"
