To what extent does the new exporter differ from the features described in the documentation and the tutorial? Where is the new exporter described?

It feels easy and natural from the get go. So no more «C-c C-e d»? OK, you convinced me that it would be better to use the new method then. As you can see in my naive questions: I am not really familiar withe the old exporter and neither with the new one. So using the (good) documentation on the old one, I planned to contribute to this template as much as possible. But I am not sure whether I can contribute to the new one. 1. http://orgmode.org/Changes.html -- Karl Voit
