One isolated example is the "remember" tutorials. These could, at the
least, be marked with a paragraph inset at the top of the file: a statement

Hi Carsten & all,
thanks for this good idea and the resulting discussion here!
my 2 cents about the tutorials page:
yes, I agree, that especially for absolute beginners (new to Emacs and new
to org-mode) it would be helpful to have a very basic step by step tutorial.

Hi,
A suggestion : it would be maybe useful , if it is not already done, to
transfer this activity of the list on a forum when one could put "closed"
on a topic, when a solution is done for a beginner like me.
for example, sometime I find very useful help on LaTeX here:

Yes, I completely agree with you. Apologies if my remarks were taken to
