Oh I'll definitely post anything I get working properly -- I'm not shy! Just hampered by the fact that programming is a hobby only, and my elisp skills are barely passing from "beginner" into "intermediate". The two larger things I'm working on are work-related. One is a translation environment built on top of Orgmode, that stores translations in a TMX XML format, and provides a limited follow mode and automatic translation. My question in this thread isn't about that, exactly, but I'm hoping to learn some useful lessons from it. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm the only one who ever uses this package. The other is a major mode for creating and editing Epub ebooks. There aren't many good free Epub tools out there, and I think emacs could be a great environment for that. Both of these will take me a very long time! Both, incidentally, are currently bogged down in emacs' limited XML parsing/manipulation abilities. But I'll definitely post something on the wiki once I have some bits and pieces that work. I see my wiki profile is out of date, maybe I'll start with that. > Since you are a regular in Orgmode list, I am not sure how you will > treat a suggestion from me. I am reputation is plain questionable. > That said, do consider my suggestion, FWIW. Of course! It's a good suggestion, and you've been very helpful to me on several occasions in the past. It seems that, thankfully, the curtain is now drawn on the orgmode drama. Eric
