It seems to require a LOT of time. Starting with basic outlining should get you started. Create a file test.org. In test.org type * First item Then type M-RET and you get something like this * First item * with the cursor positoned after the second "*". Type "Subitem" (without the quotes). Then do M-Rightarrow and you get this * First item ** Subitem Then just fill in some sample text, like eg. this. * First item This is /italics/ and this is *bold*. And this is a simple command line example: : ls -al ** Subitem Need some text down here as well. Then do `C-c C-e h RET' and your sample document should pop up in HTML formatted form in a web browser. Now you can try using TAB to open and close items (the lines with "*" at the left), and using M-rightarrow and M-leftarrow to move items up and down in the hierarchy. You can use M-uparrow and M-downarrow to move items and their children up and down in the document. Once the basics is in your fingers it's possible to explore the rest.
