Could you post an example? Here's a sample of my second iteration. A poor man's database - still pure orgmode and still plain text, but easily parsable: - main word|subordinate word, subdivided into grammatical relations A, B, = C, &c. - identification - main form :: Abbacy - obsolete =E2=80=A0 :: no - non-naturalized =E2=80=96 :: no - pronunciation :: =C3=A6=E2=80=A2b=C4=83si - part of speech :: substantive - specification :: none - status :: default - spellings :: 5-6 abbasy, 6-7 abbacie - inflections :: none - [morphology] - derivation (etymology) :: A modification of the earlier ABBATIE, assimilated to forms like prelacy, mediaeval Latin -acia, -atia. - subsequent form-history ::=20 - miscellaneous facts ::=20 - TODO: significations & illustrative quotations > "Created, developed, and nurtured by Eric Weisstein at Wolfram > Research" [http://mathworld.wolfram.com/] > > Org-Mode makes it easy to do that with whatever document you are > nurturing. That describes most of my uses of orgmode - thanks! bw -- http://members.wolfram.com/billw
