When it is suggested today modern planners and developers say it can't be done. What changed?
lol of course not.
I wrote some code that exports html to a Jekyll static site, but really it works with anything that expects html.
Markdown doesn’t require Vim.
org babel, which allows execution of code in blocks on the page and communication between them requires Emacs's comint (command interpreter) which would need to be ported to whatever application "displays" the text.
Folding and unfolding headlines requires the exact same display features that emacs has.
In general it seems the link is so tightly bound that it would be as well to simply embed Emacs in an application rather than extract org mode from it.
- 40 years experience with Emacs
- the ability to predict that 20 years from when we started we would fall in love with Emacs
- the fortitude of will to overcome the mountainous project that it is to turn Emacs, The text editor "toolkit", into the perfect text editor for you.
