Beautifying Org Mode in Emacs (2018)

Configuring Org Mode in Emacs for beautiful typography for both text and code editing.

I love its flexibility and power, and it is the first literate programming tool which “feels right”, and I have been able to stick with it for a longer period of time than in my previous attempts. Fortunately, org-mode has an extremely granular face selection, so you can easily customize them to have different elements shown in the correct font, color, and size. Tip: you can use C-uC-x=(which runs the command what-cursor-position with a prefix argument) to show information about the character under the cursor, including the face which is being used for it.
