Hi all, I found a nice comparison of python, R and matlab[1]. This type of comparison is available for other domains as well[2]. Now the sources for these are on github[3]. The markup looks, erhm, unpleasant, i.e. hard to edit, unless you use wikidot[4] - which is what the author uses. Now I was wondering how easy / hard it would be to translate (a subset) of these to org-mode, since it would be much more comfortable to edit. By this I mean e.g. links from row titles to a glossary at the end, table code cells as verbatim, notes typographically different (italic and grey) etc.
I do have crude macros and with a little manual tweaking, I can convert the tables to org-tables. This is tedious and I would appreciate any ideas on how you would automate the section linking and table-wide (or column-wide) typesetting instructions (see also my previous post[5]). Also, I am curious about whether someone already cooked up a home grown comparison framework in org-mode.
