So how does it happen, M-x ec RET ? "Conf" in EmacsConf to me sounds like configuration rather ... Con as in convention?

I know this commands well from my LaTeX projects,
but I'm gonna use LaTeX anyway, what's the use of
using org-mode?
Is this the org-mode that people have been praising
for like a decade or so? You get to do LaTeX
all over?
And even for the most basic tasks like configuring
how a paragraph will look?

Also, that doesn't work. Put it in the document, new
PDF, looks the same.

Yeah, but in LaTeX being left aligned is not some
property of the table, everything is left-aligned,
and if you want it otherwise, you put between
\begin{center} and \end{center} ...

In computers, but also in just any brand of engineering (and other areas as well), there are tons of cases when terminology is either outdated or just plain wrong. When there is a correct term, as in "chainwheel" or "sprocket" as opposed to "cog" (which is incorrect, as it isn't a cod), it is good to know about the correct terms and use them whenever, but it is equally necessary to know about the incorrect term. You will find respectable books when they refer to a sprocket as a "cog" without blinking! And know what, that book is healthy for you to read nonetheless! So in most cases it is better to use the correct term in parallel and if the technically incorrect one dies, good, if it survives, so be it. Another example: There were once a newsreader called GNUS. When a new newsreader came, and they thought of calling it "ding" as in "ding is not GNUS". Clever, but it didn't take. So now it is Gnus who isn't GNUS. But it is - only better :) As for the ttys they are also called "the console" or "the Linux virtual terminals" (the Linux VTs). All those are designations are fine and at least "tty" and "console" are also part of technology by now: e.g., I just mentioned the file /etc/console-setup/remap.inc in another post; as for "tty", do $ ls /dev/ | grep tty > I use the compact manual [...] Bigger always better :) -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
