Indeed, TxText should provide live rendering.

In the meantime, we have Rubric and there is a reasonable support for live
rendering and linking:
http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/writing-pillar-books-with-the-gtinspector/

However, the current problem is the parser. In my solution, I used an
island parser based on PetitParser. That's because the main parser is not
flexible enough and, for example, does not preserve the locations of AST
nodes. So, I would suggest to build on top of the GTInspector extension for
now and focus on the Pillar parser. Once the parser will be usable for live
rendering, we can switch to the TxText.

Who would be interested in participating?

Cheers,
Doru

clickable links.

Kasper Østerbye did this some time ago

However I have no idea what is the current state of it (Pillar
repository shows only a single commit from April).

Ideally I want full html+css renderer, but that is hard.

If you want a wiki syntax use pillar because it is the syntax of Pier
and you will get for free all the instratucture and outputter and
editing support.

I'm using pandoc's markdown and trying to make pandoc to talk better
with Pharo. Pandoc has support for a lot of languages (see graph at
[1]), including html and LaTeX, but also a more plural community [2]
including plublishers [3] (the post is about using IPython notebook but
the supporting format is markdown). In my opinion this is a good example
of a place where we need to talk better with external libraries,
frameworks and communities.

Hi everyone,

(thread at http://forum.world.st/Personal-wiki-information-manager-td4839150i20.html, if it does not come across via email.. )


how did things go with the orgMode and GTD / PIM projects? It seems like the orgMode parser never was ported to Pharo 6 and later:  https://github.com/JurajKubelka/OrgMode

Also, was Trentor ever completed and published, Evan?

I'm interested in building and using a Pharo based GTD system and would like to use OrgMode files as the database so I can still use the OrgMode ecosystem with its how-tos and mobile apps etc. And then gradually transition to Pharo.

Is anyone else interested?

cheers,
Siemen

Great! I'm curious to hear what has happened to these older projects
discussed in the thread.

Hi Siemen,

While this is not related directly with OrgMode, it is with Personal
Knowledge Management (PKM) and data storytelling as a way to learn and
introduce novices to Pharo and an alternative path for such learning
beyond the usual one taken by developers / computer scientist.

With Grafoscopio[1], since late 2015 and early 2016, I have been
traversing a similar path into learning/using Pharo via outliners and
although OrgMode was in the radar, my main inspirations were Leo Editor,
Jypyter and TeXmacs (you can see more about the inspirations and
Grafoscopio place in the PKM / data storytelling ecosystems in [2]).
Now, with the release of Lepiter[3] in 2021, we are slowly porting the
lessons learned with Grafoscopio to Lepiter, with packages like
MiniDocs[4] and TiddlyWikiPharo[5].

So, while our tech stack doesn't include OrgMode, it used Pharo to
combine and connect HedgeDoc[6a] Markdeep[6], Lepiter and TiddlyWiki[7],
allowing us a wider range of audiences and devices, including mobile
tablets/phones. And, maybe that is in resonance with the multidevice PKM
approach that you're trying to inmerse yourself into Pharo.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Offray

Hi Offray,

that is very interesting material, and well described. No, it doesn't have
to be OrgMode per se, I just wanted to make use of something that already
can support a GTD workflow and implement something on top of it gradually.

I look deeper into this - thanks a lot!
