A quick (prototype) exporter demoing Nicolas's proposal could be developed by using my new org-html.el in under few hours. Think of it this way: If something could be XML-ified it could be lispified. My exporter already has a common core that emits html and odt and it is a matter of altering few callbacks so that it generates a lispy list instead of XML. > Best, > Matt
