Yeah org is a "some sort of markup system" * Html export and web publishing * Latex publishing * odt (libreoffice) export * Tables and spreadsheets Yeat but its a rather strange sort of markup system. Eg it supports * Brainstorming * My-own-private hyperlink system (aka wiki-like) * Time/project mgmt *** Agenda *** Time tracking *** Effort estimates *** GTD *** Journalling * Syncing with IOS/Android * Reproducible research and literate programming * Meta-programming system ... yeah a rather strange kind of markup system
