Conversely no one wants to use docbook for itself but rather as a stepping stone to something else -- typically pdf/html but in principle any arbitrary 'end'-format. This means that docbook-exporter allowing for potential docbook errors is a smaller problem than making impossible something which a. can be/is already available in org b. is supported in the 'end'-format c. but is unavailable in the interim (docbook) One such thing which may not be meaningful in latex and html but is a lack in docbook is property exports. Maybe if you or Carsten feel this should not go into org then org-special-blocks is the place for it? _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
