Thanks to Alan's dot, Ive come up with something (attached).
Leave aside complete, its not even really work-in-progress :-)
Just a sense of the direction I was asking for.

Would such a doc be appropriate for worg?

this looks like a nice blog entry, but that's also fine on Worg: there
is a users directory where people are welcome to put writings of their
own like this one.

Thanks,

I don't know how worg's export is configured, but something like this
may work ...

--8---cut here---start-8---
# -*- org-confirm-babel-evaluate: nil -*-

#+name: mygraph
#+begin_src dot :file mygraph.png :exports results
digraph {
  9 - 4 [label=c];
  9 - 2 [label= n];
  9 - 9 [label= e];
  5 - 3 [label= e];
  2 - 4 [label= k];
  4 - 9 [label= j];
}
#+end_src

#+results: mygraph
--8---cut here---end---8---

You can, if you need, build the contents of the dot block from another
babel block.

Alan

  1. How to put a '=' into code

~=~

  2. How to start a line with a '*' -- (a) for headers (b) for
 ordinary lines?

*A line.

* A header

* * A header starting with a '*'

  3. How to enter a '|' into tables

IIRC this is a FAQ: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html

  4. Newlines -- \\ behaves inconsistently in latex and html [Same  as
 above because its about escaping newlines]

You mean it is visually inconsistent or functionally inconsistent?

(In HTML \\ will insert br/, which is the right thing to do IMO.)

  5. How to make normal (ie not radio) text like this some-text

Remove radio links from `org-activate-links'.

  6. How to make normal text that looks like  [fn::somestuff]

Mhhh... what do you mean by look like?

 Note all these may not have solutions, eg a C programmer cannot get a
 '*/' into a comment however he may try.  However he can get a '\'
 into a string or a quote mark itself with '\\' and '\'.  For getting
 a '%' into a printf format however, '\%' is not the way but '%%' Such
 things are documented (and taught to) C programmers.

 Just expressing a similar need of org-moders!

Hopefully you get enough to start a tutorial on Worg :)

[O] Request for worg page -- escaping questions

2014-04-01 Thread Rustom Mody
Over time in using org Ive come up with some issues.
Some have been solved. Some I was shown workarounds.
Some remain unsolved.

Many of these issues can be clubbed together under what computer folk call
'escaping'.

Can we have a worg page for such as the following?

   1. How to put a '=' into code
   2. How to start a line with a '*' -- (a) for headers (b) for ordinary
   lines?
   3. How to enter a '|' into tables
   4. Newlines -- \\ behaves inconsistently in latex and html [Same  as
   above because its about escaping newlines]
   5. How to make normal (ie not radio) text like this some-text
   6. How to make normal text that looks like  [fn::somestuff]

Note all these may not have solutions, eg a C programmer cannot get a '*/'
into a comment however he may try.  However he can get a '\' into a string
or a quote mark itself with '\\' and '\'.  For getting a '%' into a printf
