To get a feel for something completely different, I recommend looking at the org-mode docs <https://github.com/eschulte/org-mode-jss/blob/master/jss705.org>. Here is an extended quotes from that page: QQQQQ Org-mode provides facilities to create and modify metadata quickly and efficiently. It also provides facilities to search, sort, and filter headlines, to display a chronological summary of all headlines with date and time metadata, to display tabular views of properties at selected headlines, to clock in and out of headlines defined as tasks, and more. The outline structure of documents defines a hierarchy of metadata. Tags and properties of a node are inherited by its sub-nodes, and views of the document can be designed that sum or average the properties inherited by a node. Code blocks live in this hierarchy of content and metadata, all of which is accessible to and can be modified by the code blocks. QQQQQ Not light reading, but effective. When I read them, I realize that Leo's docs could be better, perhaps much better. Imo, they should be pitched at exactly the same audience. In my view, it is the *capabilities *described above that are the real challenge to Leo. These capabilities are what make org mode attractive to so many scientists. So my focus is going to remain on improving Leo itself. If you, or anyone else, wants to rewrite Leo's intro and tutorial, please do. No doubt *somebody* could do much better than I.
