Thank you *very* much for this pointer! Unfortunately, my Android Emacs segfaults now (can't test it) and while typing in a note taking app works quite fine, simple characters like «!» do not work in ConnectBot/vim :-( I have to invest some time in this tool. Probably I might be able to get it to work. -- mail|git|SVN|photos|postings|SMS|phonecalls|RSS|CSV|XML to Org-mode: > get Memacs from https://github.com/novoid/Memacs < https://github.com/novoid/extract_pdf_annotations_to_orgmode + more on github
