In some users view, `org-mode` is itself reason enough to learn to use emacs, even if you don't use it for anything else (programming).

## Org mode for writing web documents

While Org-mode is used by many people as an organizer, TODO list tracker, journal etc., I'm interested in it as primarily as a markup language that can be extended. This is is primary area where I want to become good at vis-a-vis orgmode (Jan 2020).

## My notes

* the metadata tags at the top of the document start with `#+TAG: value` format. That is "hash plus tag colon value" format.
* use the `-` character for un numbered lists
* what are the keyboard shortcuts to type blocks like `EXAMPLE` and `CODE`. Typing `C-c C-,` brings up a menu using which i could select an `src` block or an `example` block.
