So: add it :-) The UPS is probably that it can do ALL these things - in which task manager c= an you include and chain different code snippets together? I think org is th= e only one. =20 But this leads to the other point: org is a Swiss Army knife with integrated= power drill and tooling machines to build new tools you don't know you need= but without which you won't be able to love without afterwards. And did I m= ention the hidden gems? I just discovered the whole reference citation.=20 Again: which task manager can be used to write a publishable scientific pape= r? So the uniqueness of org is that it can do many things and you only have to l= earn one toolset for this.=20 Cheers, Rainer >=20 > --=20 > mail|git|SVN|photos|postings|SMS|phonecalls|RSS|CSV|XML to Org-mode: >> get Memacs from https://github.com/novoid/Memacs < >=20 > https://github.com/novoid/extract_pdf_annotations_to_orgmode + more on git= hub >=20 >=20
