Actually nXML mode has made editing DocBook and other XML files a fun process. At least less "painful" than editing LaTeX files to many people. It is true that many open-source tools around DocBook are still not perfect, but they should be good enough for most of the work of most users. Some commercial tools exist and are better, but they are not free. (I have not used reST, however it does not seem to me that it has more tools than DocBook.) > That why I don't like AsciiDoc as well being based on Docbook tool-chain > and therefore decided to use reST markup which is much lighter, nicely > supported and it can export to many formats (e.g. xhtml, odt, pdf..) I just checked reST markup specifications, and they do look powerful (but not very lightweight). Maybe it *is* time to have a standard to unify all these plain-text based lightweight markup languages: Muse, Org, reST, asciidoc, all kinds of *wiki*, doxygen styles, etc. These languages won't be lightweight and easy to read once they become more powerful. At that point, I'd prefer to go back to LaTeX or DocBook. > Therefore I'm interested about any hint how could reST be used with > org-mode? That may require some code sharing/merging between rst.el and Org-mode, I guess. :-) Baoqiu _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
