suppose you export a subtree to ascii or html, and then a bunch of people want to help you edit it. obviously you want the changes back in org.
obviously the best would be if you could give them the source, complete with comments. but assume that they are not computer people, and not org people, and you don't want to give them your irrelevant comments. also assume you also don't want to give them your irrelevant tasks and you do not use org-export-with-tasks. it might be that i already know the answer: just do the best you can with diff, and request small sets of changes at a time, or request manual instructions for changes. but perhaps you have ideas? -- The Kafka Pandemic: <http://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com> The disease DOES progress.
