Brilliant. Thanks. I learn something new every day. I had never run into skeletons in Emacs before. Elisp snippets. Very nice. More importantly, you have reminded me about the built-in expansion in org mode that I *always* seem to forget about. =<s TAB= is easy enough for me to type! I think I am going to stick a post-it note on my forehead until I finally manage to get this imprinted in my conscious memory! I already use abbrev-mode quite extensively, but mostly for normal text. Thanks again, eric -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.50.1 : using Org-mode version 7.5 (release_7.5.116.g35a2e)
