Org significantly expands the possibilities of Thanks, much better. Presumably that will filter into http://orgmode.org/org.pdf http://orgmode.org/manual/index.html as well? since those were what I was working from. (Because `make install-info-debian` did not work for me, but init.el > (add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list > ; current version of org, as of 19 Jul 09 > ; from http://orgmode.org/ > ; must be installed: see > ; http://orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html#Installation > ; and logfile.090719 > (concat MY-LOCAL-EMACS-LISP-DIR "/" ORG-VERSION "/doc") does now.) You might also link to section 9.1 from section 1.2 (Installation). (Is the top-level doc worg-able? An idle question at this point, since getting org-mode setup is a subtask of "organizing my life in plain text," and setting up git is farther down the priority list.)
