Olivetti

Olivetti is a simple Emacs minor mode for a nice writing environment.

Features

Set a desired text body width to automatically resize window margins to keep the text comfortably in the middle of the window.
Text body width can be the number of characters (an integer) or a fraction of the window width (a float between 0.0 and 1.0).
Interactively change body width with olivetti-expand, olivetti-shrink and olivetti-set-width.
If olivetti-body-width is an integer, the text body width will scale with use of text-scale-mode, whereas if a fraction (float) then the text body width will remain at that fraction.
Optionally hide the modeline for distraction-free writing.

Requirements

Emacs 24.4

Installation

Olivetti is available through MELPA and MELPA-stable. I encourage installing the stable version.

Alternately, download the latest release and put it in your load-path.

Known Bugs

linum-mode currently has a bug that overwrites margin settings, making it incompatible with Olivetti. More information here: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=20674
