Hi,
yeah, org-mode is extremely flexible. I guess by time one can map all kind
of different aspects of teaching to org-mode.
I'm a bit concerned about the long-time support. Org-mode is a very active
project. I guess I can't assume that I can generate my 5 year old export
files without modification with a current release.
However, my older colleagues taught me by example, it should be still
better compared to any proprietary file.
Thanks for the input.
Torsten
