Setting Up Org Mode Source Code Block Snippets In Spacemacs (Emacs)

TODO: Roll this into the other post where you show the actual snippets that you used (assuming you can find it)

Took a bit to figure this one out. The goal it to setup snippets that auto expand into Org mode source code blocks. By default, you can type "SPC m i b s" when you're not in edit mode to generate a generic source code block like this:

#+begin_example

#_+begin_src

#_+end_src

#+end_example

That's a lot of keys and you still have to define the language and any other options. I made the following additions to the defun dotspacemacs/user-config section at the bottom of my ~/.spacemacs config file to make it nicer.

(defun dotspacemacs/user-config ()
    (require 'org-tempo)
    (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist
                 '("j" . "src js :results output"))
    (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist
                 '("p" . "src python :results output"))
    )

The (require 'org-tempo) line turns on some default snippet expansions like <s followed by TAB at the start of a line (in INSERT mode) for the basic begin/end src block.

The add-to-list items let me type <j followed by TAB and <p followed by a TAB to generate:

#+begin_example

#_+begin_src js :results output

#_+end_src

#+end_example

and

#+begin_example

#_+begin_src python :results output

#_+end_src

#+end_example
