I have thus far resisted org mode for a few reasons one of which is that I have my own system for keeping a diary and journal and I like using it. However, I *would* like to be able to view my diary on my iPhone. Its not an org-mode file per se. Just a regular text file (actually a LaTeX file). Can mobileorg allow me to work with it? Thanks, Tom S.
