Thanks, Jens, for your comment!  I understand your point of view!  My point
is that Org mode is not ubiquitous and most people (esp. non-programmers)
do not use emacs.   But I do concur that Org mode is  great for
collaboration IF a team can agree to using it.

Thanks for your interesting references!  I am glad to learn about "single
source" and OER.  Your OER material looks fascinating: I don't know that
.org file can be rendered instantaneously as HTML on GitLab.
