Org mode is the Emacs ecosystem's plain-text format for notes, TODO lists, authoring and literate programming — asterisk headings, TODO keywords, #+begin_src blocks. Everything lives in one future-proof text file.
Typical use: Convert Org notes to Markdown, Word or EPUB to share with non-Emacs collaborators, or bring Markdown content into your Org workflow.
About the Org format
Org mode is the Emacs universe's answer to "what if everything was plain text": one .org file holds your outlines, TODO states with agendas, deadlines, tables and even runnable code blocks. Twenty years of personal knowledge management workflows are built on its asterisk-and-keyword syntax.
Its reach outside Emacs used to be the pain — now a converter bridges it. Markdown collaborators get .md, managers get .docx, readers get .epub, and LaTeX journals get .tex, all with the outline hierarchy intact. Bringing Markdown back into Org is equally one click.
