I believe you could publish muse files and bhdl files with org-publish, by just calling the appropriate functions or if necessary write a trivial wrapper around them. Maybe you could also publish Org-mode files with Muse, I am not sure. I myself don't see Org-mode primarily as a publishing tool at all. The motivation for writing Org-mode was twofold: - to get to a handle on the many things I need to do - to collect all ideas that I had for writing plain text notes in Emacs into a single mode. For me, Org-mode is vastly more convenient to use that any other text mode I know of. David's org-publish gave me a one-key way to get these files on a webpage, something I use mostly internally to share notes with collaborators. Importantly, I can let it take care of also updating any additional files like source code that might have changed and need updating. That is exactly what I need. About future development: I really like how basic and straight org-publish is. No need to create another monster. Maybe add a few more general publishing-functions (right now there are only two: org-to-html, and a plain copy for attachments) to save some users from writing their own. But the basic setup looks fine and complete to me. - Carsten On Jun 5, 2006, at 22:03, Xavier Maillard wrote: > Hi, > > I was looking on emacswiki searching for publish engines for Emacs. > Actually, I have found at least three of them: > > 1. muse > 2. emacs-wiki > 3. bhl > > Adding org-publish to this list, we got 4 engines that do merely the > same thing except for org-publish which offers less features.
