[New Language Request] : org

[slackline]

Language Name 🖊

Would be great if the .org files of Emacs' org-mode could be recognised.

Logo 📷

Orgmode has a unicorn as its logo....

Upstream support ✅

• Does tokei already support the language in question?

[o2sh]

Hi @slackline,
It is already supported; however, by default, we only display programming and markup languages, and org is considered a 'prose' language. You can modify this behavior by using the --type CLI option.

  -T, --type <TYPE>...
          Filters output by language type

          [default: programming markup]
          [possible values: programming, markup, prose, data]

[slackline]

Ah brilliant thanks for the pointer @o2sh and apologies for not clocking that.

@slackline This is frequent point of confusion. Ideas to make this behavior more obvious are welcome 🙂

@o2sh What do you think about adding a FAQ section to the wiki (or somewhere else)? We can add a "why isn't my language detected?" section, and ask users to consult the FAQ first in the issue form.

You're right, we should do that.
