Second: See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-publish-html-tutorial.php#sec-7.1 That shows how you can share files between projects, simply by pulling them in through a special export project. I use this technique a lot. One advantage is that each project has a complete set of files. The drawbacks are minor for my use-case, but that might vary. But as linking was enough, this approach should be fine. Sebastian
