Why? There is no reason to do programming and/or tech writing outside Emacs, if Emacs is the place you normally do it. Also, Emacs - with Elisp - gives you the tools to setup the execution of such tasks. The shell CLI should be used for the batch tools - sed, units, those things - all typing, and editing, should be done in the editor. -- Emanuel Berg - programmer (hire me!
