Hello Juan, I investigated further the Context engine for Skribilo: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=skribilo.git;a=tree;f=src/guile/skribilo/engine;h=9c6353eb7c6eae70de007c2f0a8f01092ae669a2;hb=HEAD While I cant comment on it's Context engine functionality or efficacy, it clearly has a

Re: How to reload org agenda files without restarting emacs...?

How to reload org agenda files without restarting emacs...?

Suppose I share agenda files with other computers on the network, and someone else changes an org agenda file that I use, how do I update the agenda view to see those changes reflected within emacs without having to restart emacs? Is there an org mode command for this?

Re: Microsoft Excel spreadsheet editing directly from within emacs.

Stefan, I agree with everything you said! For me, the fact that you have a full computer algebra system (in the form of Calc) *and* Lisp behind the scenes in org makes org tables incredibly more powerful than any spreadsheet calculator I have ever seen or used. The only issue is the possibly
