Actually, looking at https://github.com/benweet/stackedit, one possible
workaround came to my mind, though it might be considered a bit heretical
on this list:
- Use Google Docs as a wide-spread online editor
- Write an Google Docs addon to support Org syntax (possible? easy?
hard? no idea ...)
- Download the html of the doc
- Use pandoc to convert the html to org
I read that quite a few research institutions go for the Google Docs
route to enable online collaboration between latex and non-latex users,
and there are several tools that export to latex.
