Howm: Personal Wiki for Emacs

Re:Howm: Personal Wiki for Emacs by CurrentB on Wednesday September 04, 2024 @09:22AM (#41445472)

I know this probably isn't the best place for a bug report/help request, but this seems cool, and the alternative to asking here, now, realistically is that I just forget about this

I'm trying howm on emacs 29.4

I try (with my config and also with emacs -Q)

  (use-package howm)

I enter `C-c , ,` I see the howm-memu pop up, but it's all plaintext with no font highlighting/decoration/"links" or anything, and I get in the Messages log:

  font-lock-fontify-keywords-region: Symbol’s function definition is void: nil
  Error during redisplay: (jit-lock-function 5328) signaled (void-function nil)

Is this familiar to anyone?

Strange. I'm using it on Emacs 30.0.90 (nightly builds), and haven't had that issue.

Personally I don't use its main menu though (which C-c , , runs), but rather "M-x howm-create" to capture new notes and then afterwards "M-x howm-list-all" as a keyboard-driven interface to read/browse/search existing notes.

Perhaps those commands work even if that menu doesn't?

This happened for me too. I don't know why but after I tried it a few times it started working.
