# The use of Org mode syntax outside of GNU/Emacs
Karl Voit

[[!inline pages="internal(2021/info/org-outside-schedule)" raw="yes"]]

With the rising interest in Org mode, the GNU/Emacs community gained
much momentum in the last decade. Being a nicely designed lightweight
markup language, Org mode does not only benefit users of GNU/Emacs.
There are many tools and services supporting Org mode syntax documents
that do have no direct connection to GNU/Emacs. I would like to
elaborate on the advantages on using Org mode syntax for arbitrary
text outside of GNU/Emacs for better typing usability and
collaboration tasks.



# Outline

- The term Org mode stands for different things
- The Org syntax is better than much more dominant lightweight markup languages
