If more is needed, I expect I'd make a docker container with emacs in it, so people can export the org-file to PDF themselves. + - The main problem I have is that effectively they end up branching it in order to use Word's change tracking, and there is no reverse path. + - Jan: That sounds more like a team thing. Most people I interact with are developers, and are OK reading/interpreting change tracking as a git diff, e.g. on github or azure devops. + - OK, thanks. I think that is the root of my problem I just thought I would ask in-case you had encountered the same. Thank you for the talk. + - Jan: I think in your case I'd either introduce them to a nice web-based git interface (org-mode looks fine usually), so they see it can do similar things as word change tracking. + - Jan: Thanks for your feedback :) feel free to reach out if you want to chat more. + - Unfortunately in this case they refuse to use anything that isn't a WYSIWYG interface. So even a Markdown editor in a split screen with a preview window is not accepted. + - Thanks! + - Jan: Hold their hands, be kind, small baby steps :) + +IRC: (nick: jan-ypma) - I use restclient everyday, but never thought about using it from code blocks, duh! Very interesting talk! - This is a good demo, I've found org-babel to be a really amazing glue language for stuff that's sort of annoying to automate otherwise. - Thanks! :) So the fonts of the current talk are: Fixed pitch (serif): New Heterodox Mono, Variable pitch (serif): ETBembo |
