Re: [orca-list] Confidential diary/journaling with Orca and Ubuntu 18.04

Emacs is excellent, org-mode equally so in my opinion. I would definitely recommend taking the time to learn 
it.

    Personally, I use Org-mode in Emacs with Emacspeak for this, but I know 
    it may not be an option if you don't consider Emacs a graphical application.
    
    
    Another option, could be Libre office using heading tags and 
    hierarchical navigation with Orca. This will greatly reduce the number 
    of files you'll need. I do this with MS Word and JAWS on my work 
    machine. I think I've read though that there's a problem with Libre 
    Office and hierarchical navigation with Orca right now though.
    
    
    A mark down editor might also fit the bill, but I haven't gotten into 
    using one myself yet. Maybe someone else can provide some options or tips.
