Yes. You can find out more on these pages:
- http://orgmode.org/worg/worg-setup.html
- http://orgmode.org/worg/worg-git.html
The first discusses how Worg is published, and the second features
instructions for cloning the whole Worg website (well, the .org files that
make it) to your computer so you can explore how it's all laid out.
Best regards,
John
