I somehow cannot relate to it, Hyperbole and Org mode are quite different things. I have Hyperbole all the time here running, no matter if I use Org mode or what other lightweight markup language. Let's say there is region marked, I use sometimes Hyperbole to search Internet for marked term. That is not related and not comparable to Org mode which is meant to handle markup in a text file. Hyperbole is what it says, extravagant exaggeration. It is meta to Org. I have specific window setup with different buffers and I want to remember it, then I use Hyperbole {C-h h w n a} to remember it. One can understand it by running demo {C-h h d d}, it is not related to Org mode, it is to be used in Emacs over anything, regardless of modes. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
