hi everybody,
I am also a long time user of Latex (16 years). I use it mainly to
author scientific papers.
i followed the discussion about trying to export org files to latex
files. I am also currently drafting in org (using latex macros in my
draft, but no latex structure) and then move to latex. Once I move to
latex I still keep the org file for TODOs and notes. I think trying to
get org todo full latex authoring is not an easy battle (for example,
trying to make a figure with 2 minipage environments in it, each with
a table). Debugging latex in org is a nightmare because there is are
no pragma __LINE__ instructions in latex (as far as I know).
I was wondering the other day if it would be possible to improve org
into using % as the first character in its lines. For instance, in an
org file we currently write:
** TODO Call my mother
SCHEDULED: <2008-10-19 Sun>
How about allowing org to prefix the lines as follows:
%** TODO Call my mother
% SCHEDULED: <2008-10-19 Sun>
All org commands will take into account a prefix and add one if
necessary (for example when the task is scheduled). Org can then be
used as a minor mode (in conjunction with auctex for example)
This would be even useful for programming in languages that allow
comment prefixing: i.e # , or if any prefix is allowed, any //

This is way too complex and too hard to implement, so it will not
happen.
