I wouldn't mind seeing this, either. I've looked for a while at trying to input my wife's recipes into something for her that would be printable/exportable into perhaps a small binder or card box or something. I've played around with gourmet with varying success but not been entirely happy. It's been buggy for me when it comes to printing.[1] At the very least, someone can try it out for it's converting/unit suggestions, as they are fantastic. Most here may work directly from org, but if recipes *are* implemented, an exporter or two for half-page or index card sizes would be *phenomenal.* John --- [1] http://grecipe-manager.sourceforge.net/ > Cheers -- Eric > > -- > Eric Schulte > http://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte/ > >
