** Templates
*** Babel
    Here we set custom templates to be used for structure expansion.
    These are used when we type "<" folowed by the shortcut for a template and hit "TAB".
    e.g. "<s TAB" expands to ~#+BEGIN_SRC ?\n\n#+END_SRC~

**** emacs-lisp
     Shortcut for creating ~emacs-lisp~ code blocks. This is used extensively in this very file.
     #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
       (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist '("el" "#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp\n?\n#+END_SRC"))
     #+END_SRC

* Useful functions
** Reformat a whole buffer
   Reindet the whole buffer with ~F12~
