BTW, if you're thinking of syncing with the Mac, think hard about timezones. I have been in a world of hurt trying to sync my Palm and iCal because of their disagreements about time zones.... cheers, r ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I haven't gotten here yet with org-mode, but I understand they're pretty powerful -- and HTML is perfect for the iPhone. A robust HTML interface to your org-mode would be much more useful than a native iPhone app, IMHO, and without the landmines of interfacing with iCal et.al. My previous organization system (Python-based) had a simple CGI interface to parse my sources into HTML with CSS for the iPhone; it worked surprisingly well, including hyperlinks that sent me email noting that I'd "checked off" an item -- I didn't trust myself to actually change state from the iPhone, but sent a "check off the item manually" reminder. Once I've got my Emacs-native org-mode where I want it, I plan on tackling the iPhone display and sharing my code with the list. It should be pretty easy to write a mod_python handler to pull org-mode source from Git or Subversion and run that through the elisp interpreter...

I've been meaning to write this up for a while, and I think this sort of idea is exactly what could benefit from it... I think there should be a generic exporter that contains simple customization rules for how to do an export. Something like: (setq org-export-templates '(("mediawiki" :heading1-prefix "= " :heading1-suffix " =" :heading2-prefix "== " :heading2-suffix " ==" :bold-prefix "'''" :bold-suffix "'''" :link-format "[%{url} %{link-text}]" :numbered-list-prefix "#" :numbered-list-suffix "\n" ))) I'm making stuff up on the fly above, but I think you get the idea. Most of the exporting formats that are needed could really be simplified down to something minimal like the above. It'd be much easier than continually rewriting much of the export process when a lot of it is the same across multiple back-ends. I'm not sure it could be applied everywhere. Certainly there are some very tricky elements to deal with (and the default, if not defined, should be to fall back to a straight text conversion). IE, I'm not sure the latex backend could be easily rewritten using something like the above (but hey, you never know). There are a number of things I'd like to export to something "unusual", and the above would allow that flexibility. Unfortunately, I don't have much time, and more importantly don't have the org skill at all to make it happen.

Especially if it could still make use of the very refined set of options org mode has to include and prune subtrees, to include or exclude keywords, timestamps, and tags. I wonder if it could be made also to work with something like the Pandoc extensions to Markdown [http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/], which would then allow further export into the range of formats Pandoc supports (markdown, reStructuredText, HTML, ConTeXt, RTF, DocBook XML, OpenDocument XML, ODT, GNU Texinfo, MediaWiki markup, groff man pages, and S5 HTML slide shows). Of course, such flexibility probably doesn't come without it's struggles, but the ability to throw an org document in and get and ODF would have significant benefit. I'll have to think about how far a generic substitution-based exporter could get at such a conversion....
