Until now I've taken notes and did extracts/abstracts of the books I had to read by hand, i.e. with pen & paper. Now I want to switch to the digital world... What could be more natural than using emacs, because I already use it with AucTeX to create my latex documents. What I basically need is ordering of the abstracts and full-text search for my notes. Printing the notes would be useful, too. Google brought up several modes; org-mode seems promising, but I never tried it before. How do you take notes? Any special suggestions? I thought it could be helpful to ask on this list before trying out several modes... Thanks & Regards, Fred -- Frederik freak.fred@gmail.com
