vim-orgmode VS org-reveal

orgmode

There's also vim-orgmode if you want to occasionally do basic org-mode things within vim.

__org-mode__ Honestly Org mode is pretty incredible. Beside it being the best tool for task management and time tracking it also enables you to do ["literate programming"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming) with its tangle/detangle features. As a vim user I'm seriously jealous. There are plugins trying to bring org-mode to vim https://github.com/nvim-orgmode/orgmode https://github.com/jceb/vim-orgmode (unmaintained) but they can't compare to the org-mode experience in emacs, as far as I know. Also there is a plugin trying to create an org-mode alternative for neovim https://github.com/nvim-neorg/neorg

Recently vim got a new package which try to implement org-mode https://github.com/jceb/vim-orgmode.

Vim Org-Mode: https://github.com/jceb/vim-orgmode

I can do stuff to my Org files in Vim, but it's not really the same as Org Mode in Emacs.

I haven't used it myself but there are projects out there that try to emulate Org-Mode for Vim, e.g. https://github.com/jceb/vim-orgmode.

I think that org-reveal is able to deal with most of your requirements. At least I've used background images multiple times. Overlapping non-background images and text probably is difficult.

Is there somebody who knows the differences between org-reveal.el and org-re-reveal.el?

I now use emacs and Org mode for notetaking (with zetteldeft) and for drafting articles. I can export them into Word and get pretty close to the formatting I want. But I also use it for writing lecture notes and making slideshows for my classes using org-reveal.

What are the main differences between org-reveal (the one that's still maintained) and org-re-reveal?

I think `emacs` with `org-mode` _is_ the life management software. Also there are all kinds of "apps" built on top of this, such as https://github.com/yjwen/org-reveal/. For desktop, maybe this just serves the target group well enough, and there isn't much incentive to create a new platform, native apps or similar built on top of the org format. It would be a lot of work as well, compared to create a module for `emacs`, probably. For mobile, this doesn't work, and there are some initiatives, I have used orgzly a bit, http://www.orgzly.com/, it uses org files exactly like you describe, where the user doesn't have to be aware of the underlying format.

Org mode is my documentation secret weapon. I write books, presentations, technical documentation, and even literate data migration scripts.

Some added tips: ditaa is cool but you can also integrate mermaid [0] well and display inline images. There's a well-done revealjs [1] exporter. And you can also use results blocks as input to other code blocks!

PDF export is excellent and integrates well with some scripts I wrote to publish them to my remarkable. Great for writing and then reviewing specs on the go.

People seem to like using reveal.js via ox-reveal.

Thanks! I write them in org-mode and use org-reveal to export it to reveal.js/HTML5 format. I have some custom tweaks in org to allow customizing style without having to use an external .css, but most of it is using org-reveal features out of the box. My next blog post will most likely be about covering this topic in more detail, and provide an org template for this kind of presentation, as many have asked about how I've created the slides. I can add a ping here for you once the post is up (late January/early February).
