David O'Toole Org tutorial First I entered a headline called "Tasks" to keep tasks under. This isn't necessary but is often convenient, especially when you want to keep tasks separate from the body of a document you're writing. First-level headlines begin with one star; second-level headlines begin with two stars, and so on. In org-mode, TODO items are always headlines. This is a bit silly, because we've already started a new file. Here is the result: Notice how org-mode uses a timestamp to record when a TODO item was closed. Let's add some more TODO items.
TiddlyWiki - a reusable non-linear personal web notebook Org-mode beginning at the basics List are great for brainstorming and to keep track of things. Also it helps keeping the big picture in mind when taking notes. The first thing we will do is folding. Especially when you have a long document, this is very useful. In our example document, go to the first headline (just use the arrow keys), Welcome to Org mode, end press TAB, and now press S-TAB. The basic idea of brainstorming is to write a list of items. Next we will promote and demote headings. Finally, to add a new headline, press M-RET. Besides headlines there are still other kind of lists, ordered and unordered lists. ** Lord of the Rings My favorite scenes are (in this order) 1. Unordered lists start with -,+,or \*. Further information: a short screencast presenting a few features of plain lists, also look at the manual.
Getting Things Done et org-mode d'Emacs - Mad's blog Getting Things Done (GTD) est une démarche d'organisation permettant d'atteindre un état de « productivité sans stress » selon le titre même du livre « Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity » (la version française « S'organiser pour réussir) de David Allen. Cela faisait quelques temps que je voulais tester cette démarche mais si possible sans avoir à changer d'outil. J'utilise depuis quelques années le module org-mode d'Emacs pour la gestion de mes tâches. J'ai donc commencé à implémenter GTD via le module org-mode et d'autres modules (comme le module remember). l'article de Charles Cave « How I use Emacs and Org-mode to implement GTD »quelques articles de Sacha Chuala liste Emacs-orgmode J'en suis encore aux débuts mais j'essayerai de faire un article expliquant ce que j'ai mis en place.

Outlining Your Notes with Org sacha chua :: living an awesome life Large documents are almost impossible to write without outlines. There’s just too much to fit in your head. Outlines help you work with a structure, so that you can see the big picture and how sections fit together. Outlines are also surprisingly useful when brainstorming. You can work with varying levels of detail, starting with a high-level overview and successively refining it, or starting with the details and then letting the structure emerge as you organize those details into groups. Emacs has one of the most powerful outline editors I’ve come across. In this section, you’ll learn how to outline a document using Org. Understanding Org Org is primarily a personal information manager that keeps track of your tasks and schedule, and you’ll learn more about those features in chapters 8 and 9. The structure of an Org file is simple: a plain text file with headlines, text, and some additional information such as tags and timestamps. GNU Emacs 22 includes Org. -*- mode: org -*- Hyperlinks
WikidPad - wiki notebook for Windows/Linux/Mac OS Easy Templates - The Org Manual This is the official manual for the latest Org-mode release. 15.2 Easy Templates Org mode supports insertion of empty structural elements (like #+BEGIN_SRC and #+END_SRC pairs) with just a few key strokes. This is achieved through a native template expansion mechanism. Note that Emacs has several other template mechanisms which could be used in a similar way, for example yasnippet. To insert a structural element, type a ‘<’, followed by a template selector and <TAB>. The following template selectors are currently supported. For example, on an empty line, typing "<e" and then pressing TAB, will expand into a complete EXAMPLE template. You can install additional templates by customizing the variable org-structure-template-alist.
PlannerMode Planner is a PersonalInformationManager (PIM) by JohnWiegley. You can use it to manage your tasks, schedule, notes, and anything else you want to store in a free-text richly-hyperlinked personal information manager integrated into Emacs. Because it’s in Emacs, it can easily be tweaked to support your particular way of planning, and it can draw upon the data and functions you already have in Emacs. It puts all of the Emacs PIM pieces together: BbdbMode (addresses), EmacsMuse (linking of notes and publishing), etc. This allows you to easily write notes, link to other notes, link to dates, link to addresses, link to – everything. If you’re new to Planner, here’s a good way to get started: There is a good intro on how to use the PlannerMode in the planner.el file.

Emacs Vs Vi Mapping function keys discussion moved to bottom of pageLast edit on 11/13/13GreatEmacsFeatures vs GreatVimFeatures (see also EmacsAndVi) - One of the first big HolyWars to take place on the internet. HEATHENS! EdIsTheStandardTextEditor!Vim Vim evolved from the original visual mode for the ed editor, BillJoy's Vi, and maintains full backward-compatibility with it. But it's scripted in any scripting language you like, it runs on any operating system you like, it has every text-editing feature known to man, it's clean, reliable, easy to use, symmetrical, and low on bullshit. Emacs I use emacs, which might be thought of as a thermonuclear word processor. from Neal Stephenson's "In the beginning was the command line" What makes Emacs so much better for writers? Just for those who would prefer something less drastic than editing pure LaTeX (nothing against those who love it), I would recommend LyX (LyEks) vi is cute
