hi everybody, I am also a long time user of Latex (16 years). I use it mainly to author scientific papers.
i followed the discussion about trying to export org files to latex files. I am also currently drafting in org (using latex macros in my draft, but no latex structure) and then move to latex. Once I move to latex I still keep the org file for TODOs and notes. I think trying to get org todo full latex authoring is not an easy battle (for example, trying to make a figure with 2 minipage environments in it, each with a table). Debugging latex in org is a nightmare because there is are no pragma __LINE__ instructions in latex (as far as I know). I was wondering the other day if it would be possible to improve org into using % as the first character in its lines. For instance, in an org file we currently write: ** TODO Call my mother SCHEDULED: <2008-10-19 Sun> How about allowing org to prefix the lines as follows: %** TODO Call my mother % SCHEDULED: <2008-10-19 Sun> All org commands will take into account a prefix and add one if necessary (for example when the task is scheduled). Org can then be used as a minor mode (in conjunction with auctex for example) This would be even useful for programming in languages that allow comment prefixing: i.e # , or if any prefix is allowed, any // --daniel -- -- Daniel M.
