Here is part of an IRC conversation that perhaps
clarifies what I mean... (the last sentence should
not be seen as a threat BTW :))
<rogim> incal: that "Outliner" feature (i.e.
collpasing and replacing things) is more
or less the core of org-mode. emacs being
emacs I bet you can disable it. but it
would be completely braindead. in the
true sense of the word. you would
lobotmoize emacs.
<incal> well, one can easily think of outliner
features for HTML, CSS, LaTeX, even
source code for every programming
language, and I never used it for
anything else
<incal> so I guess I have always been braindead :)
<rogim> I get what you mean, I don't use code
folding like this anywhere else.
it's just annoying with code.
but org-mode is really about organzing
information in a tree and collapsing
parts of it and maybe moving things
around. so if you don't need it, org-mode
might be the wrong tool there. then again
emacs can be adapt for everyone ofc
<incal> what I was looking for was a way to
typeset that had a less involved syntax
than LaTeX, to be able to create simple
PDFs, somewhere between plain text and
LaTeX. I asked on gmane.emacs.orgmode ,
if they cannot solve it I'll just
`require' org, apply the org-mode's
font-lock to a text-mode buffer, and use
`org-latex-export-to-pdf'
