EMACS interface

An EMACS interface would be nice.

I use some shortcuts for emacs.

(define-abbrev-table 'global-abbrev-table
  '(
    ("afootnote" "\\edtext{}{\\Afootnote{{\\textbf{\\pstartref{itm:}}}\\enspace}}%" nil 0)
    ("bfootnote" "\\edtext{}{\\Bfootnote{{\\textbf{\\pstartref{itm:}}}\\enspace}}%" nil 0)
    ("grnumber" "\\greeknumeral{}" nil 0)
    ("nrlectio" "\\edtext{}{\\lemma{\\textbf{\\pstartref{itm:}}}\\Cfootnote[nonum,nosep]{}}" nil 0)
    ("pstart" "\\pstart\\edlabel{itm:} \\pend" nil 0)
    ("pstartref" "\\pstartref{itm:}" nil 0)
    ("sidenote" "\\ledsidenote{}" nil 0)
    ("tsuper" "\\textsuperscript{}" nil 0)
    ("vlectio" "\\edtext{}{\\Cfootnote[]{}}" nil 0)
    ("ascii" "\\textascii{}" nil 0)
   ))

Sorry, I meant it would be nice to have an EMACS interface for browsing and looking up, as an alternative to the web interface.

Sorry! And I thought it was a post on the ledmac page! :laughing:

I use Emacs myself, but the potential user base in the intersection of Emacs users and classicists is not large enough for me to consider it worth investing the effort in creating and maintaining yet another interface. And there are significant limitations to the Emacs display engine that make it a highly suboptimal solution for rendering text with complex formatting.

A while ago, I wrote some elisp functions to use the diogenes CLI from within emacs. It is a bit rude, but does the job. I've uploaded it to github. When using it, please make sure to patch the bug in diogenes-cli.pl, or use my fork of diogenes.
