I particularly enjoyed the tweaks for EWW (Emacs Web Wowser) in this edit=
ion. Could be fun to take whatever page you're looking at in a different ap=
plication and open it within Emacs, with syntax highlighting and maybe even=
the ability to copy or execute bits of code more easily. Could be handy du=
ring your search for knowledge https://www.chiply.dev/post-august-emacs-car=
nival, which is incidentally the Emacs Carnival theme for August. Enjoy!

I particularly enjoyed the tweaks for EWW (Emacs Web Wowser) in this editio=
n. Could be fun to take whatever page you're looking at in a different appl=
ication and open it within Emacs, with syntax highlighting and maybe even t=
he ability to copy or execute bits of code more easily. Could be handy duri=
ng your [[https://www.chiply.dev/post-august-emacs-carnival][search for kno=
wledge]], which is incidentally the Emacs Carnival theme for August. Enjoy!
