Re: [Genesis-sim-users] Genesis2 Emacs mode for syntax highlighting and indentation

[Cengiz G. <cg...@em...>]

Thank you Dave for trying it and writing the nice message supporting our
tool. If you have downloaded it earlier than Friday, please get the updated
version because I submitted major bugfixes. I also added a "release" on
github, which makes it easier to download the package:
https://github.com/cengique/emacs-genesis-mode/releases

In general, one can download the whole project in Github by clicking the
"Download ZIP" button hidden at the bottom of the right hand side
navigation bar.

I'm surprised and embarrassed to hear that Hugo's code was available
onlline and as part of the Genesis 2.3 distribution. :) In my defense, I
searched online before I started with the keywords "genesis emacs", but
apparently this missed "xemacs". Thankfully we have attacked different
features with Hugo, so the combined package is still relevant.

Best,

-Cengiz
