Org provides a full markup language which helps structuring the document, and is reflected as accurately as possible when exporting to other formats (like HTML or LaTeX).
#+TITLE: This is the title of the document
* First level
** Second level
Ordered list (items can also be numbered like '1)', with a perenthesis):
1. foo
2. bar
3. baz
Unordered list (items can also start with '+' or '*'):
- foo
- bar
- baz
Description
- lorem ipsum :: this is example text
- foo bar :: these are placeholder words
Every item in a plain list can be made into a checkbox by starting it with the string ‘[ ]’.
* TODO [2/4] (or [50%])
- [-] call people [1/3]
- [ ] Peter
- [X] Sarah
- [ ] Sam
- [X] order food
- [ ] think about what music to play
- [X] talk to the neighbors
