2026-08-03 Emacs news
=====================
I particularly enjoyed the tweaks for EWW (Emacs Web Wowser) in this edition.
Could be fun to take whatever page you're looking at in a different application
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 during your search
for knowledge https://www.chiply.dev/post-august-emacs-carnival, which is
incidentally the Emacs Carnival theme for August. Enjoy!

This is the plain-text version. There's also an HTML version that might be
easier to read. Depending on your mail client, you might have a command,
button, or link that can show you the HTML version. If you're in Emacs, look
for something that mentions text/html. More info:
