No problem, and I wouldn't say it was *that* obvious :) I found this document extremely helpful: - http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html I also started (and should really update again/maintain!) this as a landing place for documenting other things as they come up: - http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/ox-overview.html And have a blog post walking through setting things up here, if it helps: - http://jwhendy.blogspot.com/2013/03/migrating-to-new-org-mode-exporter-org.html Good luck! We're all learning here, so no worries on the mailing list. More things for Google to index for users stumbling on this after you! John > > Scott Randby
