In org-mode, none of the headlines can contain newlines, so occasionaly they get a bit long. This is not a (big) issue in org, but when exorting to freemind, I would like to limit the names to a maximum length, as the mindmap display in freemind need reasonably short node names to give a clear overview. It would be great to be able to do this with the exporter by setting a variable / giving a prefix number. 2) Importing freemind to org (remove newlines?) For now, I have manually split some lines in freemind to get a good mindmap, but then the issue is that when re-importing to org, the headlines are including the newline, hence the org-mode headings are broken. This may be easily done by replacing all newlines in the node name when importing, but being Lisp challenged I cannot find where in org-freemind.el this replacement should be done. 3) Importing freemind to org (centered nodes) I noticed also that nodes in freemind that were centered broke the org import fairly bad by splitting the node name over several lines with blank lines in between. And none of the textual lines were actually displayed as a headline. I don't really have an issue with this, as I can do without changing from the default alignment in freeming, but thought I'd include it in this writeup. If anyone has an idea of how to solve this or could point me in the right direction that would be great! Thanks -- Johnny
