markdown-tufte layer
Table of Contents
Description
This layer adds tufte sidenote/marginnote editing support. The syntax of Tufte used is from Immaculate.
- Make sidenote/marginnote smaller and lighter in grey color (so it works with solarized light theme I am using)
- Add keybinding for easy sidenote/marginnote block insertion.
WARNING Still this is just a quick hack, like its color theme only works with
solairzed light. I do not have many improvement ideas. Maybe the color setting
needs to be more dynamic to adapt to more themes. Another idea is to borrow
something from tufte-jekyll, which looks a bit more popular.
Install
To use this layer first clone it into your ~/.emacs.d/private directory:
git clone https://github.com/carltonf/markdown-tufte.git ~/.emacs.d/private/markdown-tufte
Then, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add markdown-tufte to
the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.
Key bindings
| Key Binding | Description |
|---|---|
SPC m x s | Insert Sidenote block |
SPC m x m | Insert Marginnote blcok |
Tips & Tricks
Font locking might have troubles dealing with complicated block upon file loading, like the one below:

%}As there is a link within, run “M-o M-o” to font-lock refreshing the highlighting.
Generally I don’t think this is a problem of markdown-tufte, but it might
have something to do with the inefficient regexp used for syntax matching.
