That single sentence really answers the question pretty effectively! The whole explanation does make perfect sense, though. I admit that the entire structure of the work-flow is not something I really understand - it seems to have developed over time in response to changing situations, and therefore has elements that one might not choose if one were starting from scratch. But (just throwing an additional idea out there) - the possibility of having a considerable apparatus for yourself in Org-mode, and your final step before sending to the editor being "export to plain text". (so that your editor has bare plain text with no markup of any kind.) -- David
