Setting up a development system is a non-trivial investment.
This document captures the steps required and automates as much as possible. The project has other formats, too.
The Style Guide is a must read for the operator.
Org-Mode converted this manual, tedious, and error prone task to a semi-automated, nearly reproducible, and error-less process, for me. This document has never been beta tested; I am it’s only user.
I’m studying Noweb Refs. Here is something helping me make sense of it. I asked about it on-list, too, with more details. I’m still playing with it.
org-scraps are interesting because I have only used Org-Mode’s tangling functionality for my Emacs initialization file. They show off a lot of the literate stuff with concise examples. Things make a lot more sense how.
"/Users/gcr/tmp/scratch.org" org-export-current-backend now. Another example of Elisp configuring a header arg.sh, find, and dot.6 .DONE examples to verify identical result.:results configuration for source blocks. Replace table with scalar for in-line source blocks.org-sbe and #+TBLFM.TBLNAME are taggable, for example with :noexport:.sh SB generates a table with the captured output from echo, with 1 row for each call.org-babel-remove-result works no matter where the RESULT block is located. It doesn’t have to immediately follow the Source-Block.ob-scheme allows two sessions with the same name when they were started with different interpreters.+--------+ +-------+ +-------+

WordPress is a powerful and satisfying writing and publishing platform. After learning Org-Mode, I wanted to use Org-Mode for writing and WordPress for publishing. Org2Blog makes that easy.
WordPress easily exports your posts to XML. Org2Blog-Importers converts them to Org-Mode via Pandoc. Tonight I converted them here. Any future modifications belong in these documents with publishing to WordPress.
I tested both publishing new posts and modifying and re-publishing old posts and both worked correctly.

Why can't you use method (a) above, and then DOCX -> Org via pandoc (with --accept-all option)? I know pandoc introduce some of its own changes to the Org syntax but not the document itself. You can get around this. You can remove the pandoc-generated changes automagically so that only co-author changes appear in Org format, which you can then use with your (b) above and emacs ediff. Original: Your Org source A: Org -> DOCX for co-authors (using pandoc) B: Org -> DOCX -> Org (using pandoc). C: A -> Org (using pandoc and --accept-all-changes) D: B-Original The difference between B and Original are pandoc-introduced changes that you do not want. Ignore/remove these changes from C, call it D and then the difference between D and the Original are your co-author comments. Now your authors can edit DOCX with Track Changes and you can work on those edits with Emacs ediff. -k.
