I've recently started using [org-special-block-
extras](https://alhassy.github.io/org-special-block-extras/) which
adds a ton of useful blocks for writing in org-mode, it's amazing.

I have a very basic LaTeX template for my notes and this basically
brings me notes in the margin, colored boxes, commented blocks for
free. This really took the headache I was walking into with
customizing LaTeX.

It also directly works with HTML, meaning that you get your special
blocks for free once they're written in org-mode.

Good stuff, fun docs =)

Thank you /u/moseswithhisbooks =)

Fun, or fucking mental in other words.

Seriously, I felt like I may have been in the midst of a carnival with
all the colors, hover animations, etc. Lol.

It's a bit quirky but the examples and explanations are actually good!

Indeed, an underappreciated work.
