Pardon me for resurrecting an old thread, but I am sorry to report that I'm experiencing the issue described below today. Since I use eschulte's starter kit for my emacs initialization, it's not easy to start a fresh emacs and install org-mode from ELPA before calling any org-mode functions. P

Hello, Bernt. According to your famous org-mode.org document (thank you!) this file: http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.org.html ...should be a colorized version of the org source. Please take a look at it. The total filesize seems lower than I'd expect. ;) Thanks, cheers, --Dave

I might have converted someone this weekend. I had been babbling about Emacs, lisp, and the early 1980s to him for some time. I told him that Emacs was a 37 year old tree, that it had carefully tended for all that time by a community of folks that really cared about doing things the right way
