[O] Tracking Current Org Version

Good day! I am using 'git' to (I hope!) keep up to date on the latest Org distribution. For me, there is a little confusion on just which version I'm using ... I changed to the org-mode "git managed" directory, and entered: $ make update { Do I need to do more? I followed the

[O] Indentation Problem Using LaTeX Export
