I keep here notes about Emacs. It is not a tutorial, nor a complete reference, just a few notes about things that I had to figure out.
PSGML mode
See PsgmlMode.
Bookmarks
"Bookmarks" are somewhat like registers in that they record positions you can jump to. Unlike registers, they have long names, and they persist automatically from one Emacs session to the next. The prototypical use of bookmarks is to record "where you were reading" in various files.
Footnote
Use the footnote-mode.
Then, C-c ! a adds a footnote.
Inserting the output of a command into a buffer
"Easy": C-u ESC !
Emacs macros
Start a macro with C-x (, finish it with C-x ).
Then call it with C-x e.
Accented characters pasting problem
Documented in Debian bug report 144806. See discussion in bug-gnu-emacs. I asked for an update on this on 2003-08-07.
Resolving CVS conflicts
M-x vc-resolve-conflicts
Doing a CVS update of the current buffer
M-x cvs-examine and then O.
