Org-mode outside Org-mode

Hi List, 

there is a now a tutorial on Worg describing the recently announced new
libraries for using (concepts and functionality of) Org-mode when
outside Org-mode:

`-----------------------------------------------------------

Besides using the 'well-known' orgstruct-minor-mode, you can now:

- use outline-minor-mode with *outshine.el* extensions and structure
  your file with outshine-style headlines, giving your source-code files
  the look&feel of Org-mode files. Should work in any major-mode.

- use *outorg.el* to edit complete subtrees or the whole file as
  Org-mode in a temporary Org-mode edit-buffer. Depends on outshine.

- use *navi-mode.el* to open an occur-like indirect buffer for
  super-fast navigation and structure-editing (as well as other common
  actions on subtrees) in the associated original-buffer - all with
  one-key commands in a read-only buffer. A kind of customizable
  remote-control for the original-buffer with many views combining
  headline and keyword searches and easy switching between the
  associated buffers. Depends somehow on outshine too, but to a much
  lesser degree than outorg.el

And of course you have Francois Pinard's *poporg.el* and can (completely
independent from orgstruct or outshine):

- edit atomic comment-sections (anywhere in a source-code buffer, no
  matter what major-mode) in a temporary Org-mode edit-buffer. Thus,
  while *outorg* gives you a whole subtree with headline and source-code
  blocks in a temporary Org-mode edit-buffer, *poporg* gives you only
  the comment-string near point and nothing else, so that both libraries
  complement each other really well in their usage.

For more details see the tutorial on Worg.
