Re: [orca-list] Notebook style apps

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

One day, I may try Tomboy again.  For my needs, though org-mode does
everything I could want.  I even use it for complex authoring projects
along with Muse-el all because of that awesome structured editing it
offers with the ability to fold headings out of the way so I can
concentrate on what I'm working on.  I understand you can do this with
Libreoffice somehow but I hear it's quite buggy for a11y right now.
The export features (html, docbook, pdf and LaTEx) are pretty darn
awesome too.
