In some users view, org-mode is itself reason enough to learn to use emacs, even if you don’t use it for anything else (programming).

Org mode for writing web documents

While Org-mode is used by many people as an organizer, TODO list tracker, journal etc., I’m interested in it as primarily as a markup language that can be extended. This is is primary area where I want to become good at vis-a-vis orgmode (Jan 2020).

My notes

• the metadata tags at the top of the document start with #+TAG: value format. That is “hash plus tag colon value” format.
• use the - character for un numbered lists
• what are the keyboard shortcuts to type blocks like EXAMPLE and CODE. Typing C-c C-, brings up a menu using which i could select an src block or an example block.
