I'd especially would love to be able to use Markdown to write
equations which -to me- is much more comfortable than writing latex
equations. Second I'd love to be able to export to MMD when I run into
problems with the latex exporter (I had plenty!). Third in my eyes it
would be nice to have as few markdown syntaxes as possible (I know
that is kind of a dream ;-)).

Feature suggestion

[York Zhao]

Hi,

May I suggest a feature that when the point is inside a TeX source block and
"C-c C-c" is pressed, instead of showing the error "No org-babel-execute
function for tex!", can we process the current tex block to output the dvi or
pdf file?

Thanks,

York

I'd rather define a org-babel-execute:tex function for that. 

Maybe look at org-babel-execute:* functions and suggest one?

Thanks!

Hi Bastien,

I think this is a good idea. By `org-babel-execute:tex' do you mean
`org-babel-execute-tex'?

No, I mean org-babel-execute:tex.

There is a whole family of Babel functions that let C-c C-c act 
upon a source block, with respect to the langage used.

Do `C-h f org-babel-execute: TAB' to see the list of available
function for your configuration.

Then you can pick up a langage you are familiar with in this 
list, jump to the Emacs lisp function and start getting familiar
with the code to write your own org-babel-execute:tex function.

But wait, there is already org-babel-execute:latex, so I think 
part of the problem is already solved.

Good exploration,

Dear community,

since I used Scrivener (Windows Beta) quite a while I'd love to have 
more of fletcher penny's multimarkdown (or MMD- like Syntax) integrated 
in orgmode to make it more versatile. Sadly I am not a lisp programmer 
at all...

What exactly are the features you're thinking about?

For example, I read this at the MMD site, but virtually all of these
are already implemented in Org-mode:
--------------------------------------------
MultiMarkdown adds these features to the basic Markdown syntax:

    footnotes
    tables
    citations and bibliography (works best in LaTeX using BibTeX)
    math support
    automatic cross-referencing ability
    smart typography, with support for multiple languages
    image attributes
    table and image captions
    definition lists
    glossary entries (LaTeX only)
    document metadata (e.g. title, author, etc.)
