The talk was impressive, especially because it made me aware of the
org-mode web site and this mailing list. I've been using org-mode for
about 7 months after finding out about it through an article in Linux
Journal. I'm a mathematics professor and I use org-mode to keep track of
grades. I have things set up so that all I need to do is input scores
into a table and all calculations are done automatically. Very cool.
Every other system I've used for recording grades has either been a pain
to customize or required me to do hand calculations. Org-mode was the
solution to my grade recording problem.
I use org-mode for a few other tasks, but I'm still learning its
features. From the talk, I played around with the LaTeX preview feature,
but I don't think I'll use it much. The preview graphic was too small
for my bad eyes and I already have a relatively convenient system for
doing LaTeX work. However, I am intrigued by the publishing features of
org-mode when it comes to HTML. I use tables on my website because
certain unmentionable browsers don't work well with CSS unless one is
willing to maintain complicated code. I don't have time to maintain
complicated code for ridiculous browsers, so I still use tables. I
gather that org-mode will be enable me to simplify working with HTML
tables. I'll definitely look into this.
Emacs and org-mode are fantastic.
