It uses a very light weight and human readable markup language.[1] > I gave a few examples earlier, what about letters? In Org-mode, one can publish a letter to LaTeX or pdf using the ox-koma-letter backend. > What about short documents containing tables and diagram? I often > write these at work to explain things to other people. For tables, Org-mode have a built in table editor (with a full menu). It is actually a spreadsheet with the full power of calc behind it. For even more complex table layouts, Org-mode supports table.el.[2] As for diagrams, Org-mode supports many methods such as artist-mode, ditaa[3], etc. > What about making a document that's just a set of photos or pictures? In Org-mode inline pictures are included using a very simple syntax like this: [[./img/a.jpg]] [[/some_path/b.png]] If one is running Emacs graphically, one can even display the pictures inline in the buffer.
