Lists

As taken from the Org-mode manual:

My favorite scenes are (in this order)

The attack of the Rohirrim
Eowyn's fight with the witch king
- this was already my favorite scene in the book
- I really like Miranda Otto.
Peter Jackson being shot by Legolas
- on DVD only
He makes a really funny face when it happens.

But in the end, no individual scenes matter but the film as a whole. Important actors in this film are:

Elijah Wood: He plays Frodo
Sean Austin: He plays Sam, Frodo's friend. I still remember him very well from his role as Mikey Walsh in The Goonies.

Footnotes

The Org-mode homepage¹ now looks a lot better than it used to.

Emphasis and monospace

You can make words bold, italic, underlined, code and verbatim, and, if you must, ‘+strike-through+’. Text in the code and verbatim string is not processed for Org-mode specific syntax; it is exported verbatim.

Horizontal rules

A line consisting of only dashes, and at least 5 of them, will be exported as a horizontal line (‘<hr/>’ in HTML and \hrule in LaTeX).

As shown previously.

Comment lines

Lines starting with ‘#’ in column zero are treated as comments and will never be exported. If you want an indented line to be treated as a comment, start it with ‘#+ ’. Also, entire subtrees starting with the word ‘COMMENT’ will never be exported. Finally, regions surrounded by ‘#+BEGIN_COMMENT’ … ‘#+END_COMMENT’ will not be exported.

Literal examples

Some example from a text file.

Here is an example

Some example from a text file.

(defun org-xor (a b)
  "Exclusive or."
  (if a (not b) b))

1:  (save-excursion
2:     (goto-char (point-min)))

In line 1 we remember the current position. Line 2 jumps to point-min.

Special symbols

Angles are written as Greek letters α, β and γ.

Subscripts and superscripts

The mass of the sun is M_sun = 1.989 x 10³⁰ kg. The radius of the sun is R_sun = 6.96 x 10⁸ m.
