Hi =A0Andreas,

thanks for the rep= ly. I'm =A0a long time user of babel already.=A0
Thus, = I am pretty sure it will be part of the solution :)

Thanks again for confirmation

Hi Thorsten,

thanks for the links. I will look into them.

Actually the topic is not exactly OT, I'm looking for a "meta-syst= em" which
helps me to keep all those different things together. Hopefully, in a way which allows me to generate different kind of course material from the same=
sources.
I was wondering, can org-mode be such a "meta-system" e.g. could = I keep
materials of a certain topic within a single org-file and use (customized)<= br> exporters to create the desired outputs like a interactive HTML version, a<= br> printable PDF, exercises and questions for exams?

E.g. a file structure like this

* Theory
text text text

** Interactive example :HTML
Bable code

** more theory in detail
*** Images

** lecture slides :BEAMER

** Exercises
*** Solutions

** Exam questions
*** 1
*** 2
*** 3

This file should ideally run through different exporters to generate
interactive HTML for a website,
printable PDF version,
slides for a lecture,
exercises with and without solution,
exam questions,

One task which might require some more attention (and code) would be to
compile e.g. =A0the entire script from different source files. Same for an<= br> entire exam, a set of exercise, etc.
The benefit of an approach like above would be that I can keep all related<= br> infos close to each other. It would be much easier to make changes among all different outputs, create new material, etc.
Hope this makes my idea more clear.

Thanks for helping

Torsten

slightly OT, but you could have a look at LaTeX package

,----------------------------------
| http://ww= w.ctan.org/pkg/tcolorbox
`----------------------------------

and its manual

,------------------------------------------------------------= ---------
| http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contr= ib/tcolorbox/tcolorbox.pdf
`------------------------------------------------------------= ---------

its well suited for presenting source-code & output as well as
exercises & solutions.

Hi Thorsten,

from what I understand, org-mode is designed for this.
Probably org-babel is the point to start, exporting sections with different= kind of text/code.

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/index.html

Should you miss a part, assume there are good chances to get it written aft= er request.

Looking forward to see it grow,

Andreas
