The basic idea is that all remember notes live in a notes section, and you can make another location pretend that the note lives there. You build all or part of a document that way. If you know how stow works, it's like stow for outline items. Yes, it's a little bit like refiling a note, but: * Hopefully it's more convenient and natural to populate a whole document this way. * If you change your mind about a note later, you can just unstow it. It's at the proof of concept stage now. It stows notes, but doesn't yet unstow them. I used dblocks to mirror notes. They are automatically inserted by org-stow, and their dynamic contents is essentially copied from the notes. Any interest in trying this out? I can push it if anyone else wants to try it out.
