is there any guide you can point me to?
google and the search bar on this subreddit both work great
Shame on every user who downvoted the parent comment. Zero-effort questions like this are akin to panhandling, i.e. "To accost people in a public place and ask for [links to easily searched-for web pages]"--to refuse to help oneself and lazily demand to be spoon-fed by others.
As the guide says, "Community standards do not maintain themselves: They're maintained by people actively applying them, visibly, in public. ... There have been hacker forums where, out of some misguided sense of hyper-courtesy, participants are banned from posting any fault-finding with another's posts, and told “Don't say anything if you're unwilling to help the user.” The resulting departure of clueful participants to elsewhere causes them to descend into meaningless babble and become useless as technical forums."
Seriously, venture out from your elderly mother's apron strings, and get a job. Profit from eating shit rather than doing it for free and complaining it tastes bad.
This has been removed, as it is not very civil; please attack ideas, not people.
Tony Ballantyne writes his science fiction with EMacs and talks about his setup here: https://tech.tonyballantyne.com/emacs-workout/
Have a look at the GNU Texinfo manual
https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/
at the moment I use GNU Emacs and Plan 9 User Space with that, oh, and Git.
There's an article on osnews saying content farms are writing for search engine optimization leading to bots training bots and the human touch in writing is becoming unsustainable financially. I was concerned recommending a search on the words "texinfo manual" might not get you to the source text.
I use org mode for all of my writing. I'm not too sophisticated with Emacs, but find what I need from YouTube and asking help from the Internet.
