I had the same worry because although I do use the time tracking (GTD) feature of org extensively, the majority of the time I am using org is for writing. Although there are some changes you will need to make to your documents, the number of changes will depend on the export target(s) and your use of figures and tables, say. Others in this thread have already pointed you to the docs that are available. You don't actually say what the export target(s) you use is/are. In my case, most of my export to latex/pdf documents required minimal changes and only to figure attributes basically. My beamer slides required more significant changes but, even here, the impact was much less dramatic than I had expected and worried about! And, quite importantly, the beamer exporter is now more logical, in my opinion. Don't panic (TM)! ;-) -- : Eric S Fraga, GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D : in Emacs 24.3.50.1 and Org 7.9.3e-1140-g272ca4
[O] [new exporter] Guides on what incompatibilities to watch for?
Hi, I'm not very specific in this mail, but am wondering… I have some nontrivial documents written in Org-mode. My main use case for Org is mostly to author texts, rather than using its time-tracking features. I fear that with the new exporter, several of my documents' features will no longer work or -worse- be interpretted differently, having a negative impact in my output. Is there a guide on what items should I mostly watch for (or even better, what syntax changes should I make) to get my results as similar as possible to what I had beforehand? I am not yet running with the new release; as I follow the Debian packaging, I'll rather wait until it lands in my system. Still, I want to prepare and not let this get me off-guard!

Take a look here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#new-exporter-switch Apart from that I know about the following changes in syntax (to the best of my knowledge): 1. Attribute lines now take plists : #+attr_latex :width 5cm : #+attr_beamer :options width=5cm 2. Beamer backend now interprets nested headline levels as blocks instead of lists. For some preliminary guidance you can look at this: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-beamer/org-e-beamer.html. Hope this helps, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

Aloha Gunnar, Please see http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#new-exporter-switch. Old documents will typically require some changes to work with the new exporter, but the changes are relatively few and that Nicolas has worked hard to preserve backward compatibility where possible. All the best, Tom -- Thomas S. Dye http://www.tsdye.com
