I'd never used that, so I gave it a try, and it looks very good for some things, and would certainly be a good starting point, but I think some files could take a lot of cleanup to make them be truly Org. > I was originally wondering if anyone uses Emacs/Org to write their > initial document, export it to LaTeX, fix it up with Auctex or Lyx, then > regenerate the Org file for storage and possible later updates? And leave Emacs!?!? I bet most people here would work on the Org file, perhaps adding chunks of raw LaTeX, until it did just what they want.
