Re: [O] Japanese popularity of orgmode

That's amazing! As others here have mentioned, it would be interesting and 
instructive to see a sample of the configuration  org markup that made 
something like that possible. In any case, I guess it makes sense to see more 
about orgmode if it was replacing LaTeX and Word as front-ends in demanding, 
peer-reviewed situations.

 Well, just my 2 cents.  I attended a Japanese university and wrote my
 PhD thesis in org-mode.

 Sounds interesting, by any chance is it on Github or somewhere publicly

 By the way I live in Tokyo, would be great to attend one of these Emacs+Org

  Dear Tory,
 
  Good point. I don’t know “taking off” is the correct word, but as you
 mentioned, it’s still growing. I can see several reasons why you think
 Japanese content has been increasing in the Web. First, some students
 use Emacs in their university because their teacher also uses Emacs.
 Then, the students use Emacs to write papers for graduation. I know a
 super student. He wrote his thesis using Emacs with org-mode! After
 graduation, they will be programmers, engineers, and researchers with
 high-level technical skills enough to distribute their knowledge through
 their blog and twitter. Second, We have several workshops related to
 Emacs and org-mode. At least, two workshops are held a few times a year
 at Kyoto and Tokyo. The participants of the workshops write blog entries
 and release some emacs-lisp actively. An Emacs advent calendar is a good
 example. Finally, we have many Japanese translated materials, manual,
 tutorial, org-web, and twitter bot, to know org-mode quickly and easily.
 And of course, the primary reason is that org-mode is very useful tool
 to do anything with Emacs :-)
