The annotation is in ;; org syntax so you can use all of the org features you are used to. ;; To use you might put the following in your .emacs: ;; ;; (require 'org-annotate-file) ;; (global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-l") 'org-annotate-file) ; for example ;; ;; To change the location of the annotation file: ;; ;; (setq org-annotate-file-storage-file "~/annotated.org") ;; ;; Then when you visit any file and hit C-c C-l you will find yourself ;; in an org buffer on a headline which links to the file you were ;; visiting, e.g: ;; * ~/org-annotate-file.el ;; Under here you can put anything you like, save the file ;; and next time you hit C-c C-l you will hit those notes again. ;; ;; To put a subheading with a text search for the current line set ;; `org-annotate-file-add-search` to non-nil value. Then when you hit ;; C-c C-l (on the above line for example) you will get: ;; * ~/org-annotate-file.el ;; ** `org-annotate-file-add-search` to non-nil value. Then whe... ;; Note that both of the above will be links. (require 'org) (defvar org-annotate-file-storage-file "~/.org-annotate-file.org" "File in which to keep annotations.")
