Hi, yeah, org-mode is extremely flexible. I guess by time one can map all kind of different aspects of teaching to org-mode. I'm a bit concerned about the long-time support. Org-mode is a very active project. I guess I can't assume that I can generate my 5 year old export files without modification with a current release. However, my older colleagues taught me by example, it should be still better compared to any proprietary file.
Thanks for the input. Torsten On 11 March 2013 16:40, W.
