First, I followed the directions to add comented syntax. Then I created a `.dir-local.el` and it didn't seem to do anything at all. Then, I instead copied the `.dir-locals.el` from the source directory and at least now it would properly `C-c , c` and `C-c , b` but the resulting buffer, though it's called emacs.org, is still in emacs lisp mode. Does this have to do with the fact that the base file is \".emacs\" and not a .el file? And possibly that the file begins with \r\n\r\n    ; -*-emacs-lisp-*-\r\n\r\n? For the .emacs file, I'm guessing there are some natural configs that I'm missing. \r\n\r\n**MORE DETAILS**\r\nOkay, added details needed for the resolution: \r\n- my .emacs is a symlink to a folder monitored by my ownCloud so I can sink to multiple computers."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/phillord/lentic/issues/comments/215779822","html_url":"https://github.com/phillord/lentic/issues/46#issuecomment-215779822","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/phillord/lentic/issues/46","id":215779822,"user":{"login":"WorldsEndless","id":5042778,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5042778?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/WorldsEndless","html_url":"https://github.com/WorldsEndless","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/WorldsEndless/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/WorldsEndless/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/WorldsEndless/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/WorldsEndless/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/WorldsEndless/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/WorldsEndless/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/WorldsEndless/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/WorldsEndless/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/WorldsEndless/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-04-29T16:03:23Z","updated_at":"2016-04-29T16:03:23Z","body":"**FIXED**\r\n\r\nWith my setup, I had to make the following changes:\r\n- use .emacs.el rather than .emacs, and then strip out the mode-mandate from the first line of the file (remove `; -*-emacs-lisp-*-`).\r\n- Since .emacs.el is sym-linked to my home dir, I also need to symlink `.dir-locals.el` to the same place.
