Hello,
I was just reading a document in org mode that had some code written
like this:
: make
: make install
I wanted to know more about this syntax (colon at the start of the
line), so I went to the manual and searched for it. Unfortunately I
could not find it, nor could I find a summary of the syntax for org
files.
Is there a syntax reference card somewhere?
Thanks a lot,
Alan

Here it is.
,----[ (info "(org)Literal examples") ]
| For simplicity when using small examples, you can also start

| Here is an example

Thanks a lot (and thanks Jambunathan K as well).

This would be most useful: I don't think I could have found this by
myself, except knowing the name of what I was searching for. Maybe I
should do it (it would be a nice way to really learn the syntax).

Orthogonal question: what citing/quoting/formatting facility are you
using to create the above?

I'm pretty sure it's boxquote.el. The top of the file says:
