org-mode
Org-mode is a mode for keeping notes, maintaining ToDo lists,
and doing project planning with a fast and effective plain-text system.
Org-mode develops organizational tasks around NOTES files that
contain
information about projects as plain text. Org-mode is implemented on
top of outline-mode, which makes it possible to keep the content of
large files well structured. Visibility cycling and structure editing
help to work with the tree. Tables are easily created with a built-in
table editor.
Org-mode supports ToDo items, deadlines, time stamps,
and scheduling. It dynamically compiles entries into an agenda. Plain
text URL-like links connect to websites, emails, Usenet messages,
BBDB entries, and any files related to the projects. For printing and
sharing of notes, an Org-mode file can be exported as a structured
ASCII file, HTML, and LaTeX.
Org mode contains the Org Babel environment which allows you
to work with embedded source code blocks in a file, to facilitate code
evaluation, documentation, and literate programming techniques.
Org's automatic, context-sensitive table editor with spreadsheet
capabilities can be integrated into any major mode by activating the
minor Orgtbl mode. Using a translation step, it can be used to maintain
tables in arbitrary file types, for example in LaTeX. The structure
editing and list creation capabilities can be used outside Org with the
minor Orgstruct mode.
Org keeps simple things simple.
