Valign.el is a single-file Emacs Lisp package that provides pixel-perfect visual alignment for tables in Org mode, Markdown, and table.el on GUI Emacs. It handles variable-pitch fonts, CJK characters, and images without altering the underlying text-based alignment. The core mechanism uses Emacs' display text properties and overlays to stretch spaces to calculated pixel positions, ensuring columns align correctly regardless of font metrics. The architecture is a self-contained module with generic methods (`cl-defmethod`) for different table types (Org, Markdown, table.el). The main entry point is the `valign-mode` minor mode, which hooks into `jit-lock-functions` to automatically realign tables during fontification. It also provides `valign-table` for manual alignment. The package advises several Org and Markdown functions to trigger realignment after edits, outline cycling, or text scaling. Key data flows: On fontification, `valign-region` scans for table delimiters, then for each table it calculates column widths by measuring pixel widths of cell contents, determines column alignment (left/right), and applies display properties to align cells. It also handles separator rows and fancy bar rendering. The package has no external dependencies beyond built-in Emacs libraries (`cl-lib`, `pcase`, `cl-generic`). The code demonstrates strong Emacs Lisp craftsmanship with clear separation of concerns, robust error handling, and performance considerations (e.g., skipping alignment after self-insert commands, limiting table size). It is a well-maintained, production-quality package available on GNU ELPA.

This repository contains a build toolchain for compiling tree-sitter grammar dynamic libraries (.so/.dylib/.dll) for use with Emacs 29+. The core is a Python CLI (`langman.py`) that wraps shell scripts (`build.sh` and `batch.sh`) to clone, compile, and install tree-sitter grammars from GitHub. It supports versioned builds (via git tags) with caching, cross-platform extended attribute versioning, and parallel builds. The architecture is a simple CLI application with separate commands for building, installing, and querying versions. The codebase is well-structured, includes unit and end-to-end tests, and demonstrates clean separation of concerns between the Python frontend and the shell-based build logic. The tool is practical for Emacs users who need a streamlined way to manage tree-sitter language grammars.
