Apart from odt output, I'd be curious to know what reST can do that org-mode markup and export cannot. Footnotes, tables, hyperlinks, images---I've found org-mode to be a really great authoring tool for exporting both to xhtml, ascii, and LaTeX/pdf output. (And, of course, using latex2rtf, it's trivial to convert the tex files org-mode produces into files that can be edited in Open Office.) > (I'd use muse, but it's not so 'standard' as reST for non-Emacs > users.) I wonder if the ascii export from org would be difficult to convert to reST markup. Section headers and footnotes in the ascii export seem pretty close to the corresponding markup in reST. Just a thought.... - Matt
