1 Introduction
══════════════

  This package implements a modern style for your Org buffers using font
  locking and text properties. The package styles headlines, keywords,
  tables and source blocks. The styling is configurable, you can enable,
  disable or modify the style of each syntax element individually via
  the `org-modern' customization group.

  The screenshots shows [example.org] with `org-modern-mode' turned on
  and off. The elegant theme featured in the screenshot is
  [modus-operandi].

  Since this package adjusts text styling, it depends on your font
  settings. You should ensure that your `variable-pitch' and
  `fixed-pitch' fonts combine harmonically and have approximately the
  same height. As default font, I recommend variants of the [Iosevka]
  font, e.g., Iosevka Term Curly.  `org-modern-mode' tries to adjust the
  tag label display based on the value of `line-spacing'. This looks
  best if `line-spacing' has a value between 0.1 and 0.4 in the Org
  buffer.

2 Configuration
═══════════════

  The package is available on GNU ELPA and MELPA. You can install the
  package with `package-install'. Then `org-modern' can be enabled
  manually in an Org buffer by invoking `M-x org-modern-mode'. In order
  to enable `org-modern' for all your Org buffers, add `org-modern-mode'
  to the Org mode hooks.

  ┌────
  │ ;; Option 1: Per buffer
  │ (add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'org-modern-mode)
  │ (add-hook 'org-agenda-finalize-hook #'org-modern-agenda)
  │ 
  │ ;; Option 2: Globally
  │ (with-eval-after-load 'org (global-org-modern-mode))
  └────

  Try the following more extensive setup in `emacs -Q' to reproduce the
  looks of the screenshot above.

3 Alternatives
══════════════

  The tag style of `org-modern' is inspired by Nicholas Rougier's
  beautiful [svg-tag-mode]. In contrast to `svg-tag-mode', this package
  avoids images and uses cheap and fast Emacs box text properties. By
  only styling the text via text properties, the styled text, e.g.,
  dates or tags stay editable and are easy to interact with.

  The approach restricts our flexibility and may lead to font-dependent
  issues. We do our best, but for example there is no way we can get
  round corners. Combining `org-modern-mode' with `svg-tag-mode' is
  possible. You can use SVG tags and use the table and block styling
  from `org-modern'. If you are interested in further tweaks, Emacs
  comes with the builtin `prettify-symbols-mode' which can be used for
  individual styling of custom keywords.

  Popular alternatives are the older `org-superstar' and `org-bullets'
  packages, which have are more limited and mainly adjust headlines and
  lists. `org-superstar' relies on character composition, while
  `org-modern' uses text properties, which are considered more
  future-proof. Note that `org-modern' is a full replacement for both
  `org-superstar' and `org-bullets'. You can easily disable styling of
  certain elements, e.g., `org-modern-timestamp', if you only want to
  use a subset of `org-modern'.
