Having used emacs for many years, OP's description of "doing things wrong" is exactly the way I use emacs. I seldom care about the inner workings of emacs and will do the absolute minimum to get it to work the way I want and then move on. I'm reminded over and over again that Emacs patinas really nicely with poorly written elisp in an init file over time. Case in point, I found that org-export is super slow. After profiling it, I found the slow function, copied it, removed the slow part, and advice-add it right back in there[0]. Might this break some other deeply intertwined behavior someplace else? Probably. Does it matter if I'm the only one using it? Nope. [0]https://github.com/alexkehayias/emacs.d/blob/master/init.el#...

> a lot of hacks to get exporting to ox-hugo to work Hello! Please feel free to start a discussion on https://github.com/kaushalmodi/ox-hugo/discussions listing the things you need to tweak in ox-hugo to make it work with Org Roam. In the past 3 months or so, I have been adding test Org files received from Org Roam users and they seem to be exporting alright. Tests: https://github.com/kaushalmodi/ox-hugo/tree/main/test/site/c... I'd welcome more tests there :) > and improve performance [your config link] From your config, I see this[1] overriding `org-hugo-link--headline-anchor-maybe`. I am following a general Emacs Lisp convention of naming internal-use functions and variables with `--` in the names. Unfortunately, that advice won't do anything with the latest ox-hugo as I replaced that particular internal function with something else in

past few months as I was improving the anchoring scheme to support an Org Roam user with linking headings based on UUID. At that point I had added this documentation on Anchors[2] in ox-hugo manual. If you set `org-hugo-anchor-functions` to nil, or add a dummy function to it that just returns "", it would do the same thing as you are doing in your advice right now (not tested). *Note that will basically break the ability to refer to other sub headings by UUID, CUSTOM_ID or any other mechanism.* --- I'd welcome contributions to ox-hugo code, documentation so that it can help other Org Roam users too. Even if it doesn't make it into the repo, having a discussion related to ox-hugo + Org Roam issues/tips+tricks in the ox-hugo Discussions forum will be useful to others. Thanks! --- [1]: https://github.com/alexkehayias/emacs.d/blob/3b546048cc60976... [2]: https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/doc/anchors/

In My Org Roam Notes Workflow (2021)

alexkehayias·Apr 10, 2022

I have a pretty similar workflow for publishing my personal notes which is exported using GitHub actions. https://notes.alexkehayias.com Relevant emacs init code here (a lot of hacks to get exporting to ox-hugo to work and improve performance): https://github.com/alexkehayias/emacs.d/blob/master/init.el#... I find navigating notes with an interactive graph as not that useful for others. I mostly use org-roam-ui myself to spot notes with no links but otherwise there's way too many nodes to do anything other than randomly click around.
