How use emacs to organize idea for a presentation

How use emacs to organize idea for a presentation

[Giannandrea Castaldi]

Hi,
I'm using emacs for a while and now I'd like to use it for preparing a 
presentation. Usually I use mind manager, a graphic tool that allows to 
organize ideas as a tree map and easly move nodes.
Now I want to work in text mode with emacs with the possibility of:
* easly move nodes/chapters
* close/expand the content of the nodes

Any suggestion?

Thanks.

You can try outline-mode, which should be part of your emacs distribution.

Check out planner-mode - this is not a bad mode for setting out a
project plan etc. You also have outline-mode and there is e-point mode
(I think thats what its called) which is a presentation mode for
emacs. I've not used e-mode, but have read about it and it looks
interesting. I run Debian Linux and all these packages are available
as .deb packages, so you can install them easily with apt-get and try
them out (if your lucky enough to be running Debian that is!).
