When I first started using org-mode, I thought you prefixed every line with some number of *. Then, I discovered that the *** were headings, and actual items under those headings were prefixed with '-'. This is a simple thing, but WOW did it make a huge difference. * I kept wondering why exports to PDF or HTML looked like crud * Things like beamer wouldn't render my slides properly etc etc. I'm going to go over the documentation and ensure I wasn't just looking past something, but I wonder if others have had this problem. -Chris -- Christopher Patti - Geek At Large | GTalk: cpatti@gmail.com | AIM: chrisfeohpatti | P: (260) 54PATTI "Technology challenges art, art inspires technology." - John Lasseter, Pixar
