I had a quick look through the Worg documentation, but I could not find any of the beautiful examples you have posted on the list over the last few months. It might be a nice idea to include the those example files and the output pdfs on Worg as a showcase (this could be a headline in the doc page). I believe the policy is, binary files go in Worg/images and the source files can be anywhere in the directory tree where it is contextually relevant; in this case it could be a org-e-groff-examples subdirectory in Worg/org-tutorials. Thanks for the great work; I'm pretty sure I'll be using the letter export a lot. :) > > Luis > -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
