Lonelog is a minor mode that provides syntax highlight and support for the “Lonelog” solo RPG notation system, designed by Loreseed Workshop: https://zeruhur.itch.io/lonelog The lonelog minor mode is designed to be agnostic to the underlying major mode, working equally well in org-mode, Markdown, or plain text.

• Highlighting for core symbols (@, ?, d:, ->, =>)
• Highlighting for tags ([N:Jonah|friendly|uninjured])
• Tags are optionally tracked in a separate HUD window

To use this package, add the following to your configuration:

(use-package lonelog
  :ensure t)

First, you have to clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/Enfors/lonelog.git

Then, you have to tell Emacs where the lonelog directory you just cloned is located:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/lonelog/directory")
(require 'lonelog)

To start lonelog-mode in a buffer, type:

M-x lonelog-mode

Type the same thing to turn it off. When you turn it on, a side window will open which will show you the most recent version of each [tag] you have in your buffer (if any). You can close that window with lonelog-toggle-hud which is bound to C-c , h by default. If you don’t want it to open by default at all, you can customize the value of lonelog-auto-open-hud.

Run M-x customize-group RET lonelog RET to change colors, window widths, or the command prefix.
