Org-mode is a mode for keeping notes, maintaining ToDo lists, and
doing project planning with a fast and effective plain-text system.
It also contains a plain-text table editor with spreadsheet-like
capabilities.
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 that
utilizes and smoothly integrates much of the Emacs calendar and diary.
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, or as HTML.
Org-mode keeps simple things simple. Not every outline branch needs
to be an action item, not every action item needs to have priority or
scheduling information associated with it. Org-mode can be used on
different levels and in different ways, for example as
* an outline extension with visibility cycling and structure editing
* an ASCII system and table editor to take structured notes
* an ASCII table editor with some spreadsheet-like capabilities
* a simple hypertext system, with HTML export
* a TODO list editor
* a full agenda and planner with deadlines and work scheduling
The Org-mode table editor can be integrated into any major mode by
activating the minor Orgtbl-mode.
