Some mention of note taking and very > little of traditional outlining, it seems. I use the outlining heavily to outline and structure documents and projects with many parts. Few of my TODOs are first-level headings. headings... they're always two or three or four stars in. But I have a friend who makes big files with TODOs all as first-level headings. There are many ways to use org-mode :-) I also use Carsten's outline-magic.el (which feels like org-mode with its visibility cycling) to organize and get overviews of source code in my emacs lisp projects. Side question: Carsten, did you get a chance to integrate my bugfix into the version of outline-magic available on your site? I still use a locally fixed version, but i think others might like to have their source code cycle like orgmode buffers do. > Concept1 > | Link1 > | Concept2 > | | Link2 > | | Concept4 > | Concept3 > | | Link3 > | | Concept5 > | | Concept4 Interesting. Couldn't the links be modeled with org-mode tags and just make everything headings? Um, it'd be postfix notation but at least it could work I think... see below. This could possibly be processed and exported into a map, or even a diagram for GNU Pic or something. --------------------------------------- Concept1 Concept2 :link1: Concept 4 :link2: Concept3 :link1: Concept5 :link3: Concept4 :link3: --------------------------------------- -- David O'Toole dto@gnu.org http://dto.freeshell.org/notebook/
