Org mainly uses three types of keywords: TODO keywords, tags and property names. In this manual we use the following conventions:
TODO
WAITING
boss
ARCHIVE
Release
PRIORITY
Moreover, Org uses option keywords (like #+TITLE
to set the title)
and environment keywords (like #+BEGIN_HTML
to start a HTML
environment). They are written in uppercase in the manual to enhance its
readability, but you can use lowercase in your Org files1.
The manual suggests two global keybindings: C-c a for org-agenda
and C-c c for org-capture
. These are only suggestions, but the
rest of the manual assumes that you are using these keybindings.
Also, the manual lists both the keys and the corresponding commands for
accessing a functionality. Org mode often uses the same key for different
functions, depending on context. The command that is bound to such keys has
a generic name, like org-metaright
. In the manual we will, wherever
possible, give the function that is internally called by the generic command.
For example, in the chapter on document structure, M-<right> will
be listed to call org-do-demote
, while in the chapter on tables, it
will be listed to call org-table-move-column-right
. If you prefer,
you can compile the manual without the command names by unsetting the flag
cmdnames
in org.texi.
