#+cindex: summary
Org is a mode for keeping notes, maintaining TODO lists, and project
planning with a fast and effective plain-text markup language. It
also is an authoring system with unique support for literate
programming and reproducible research.
Org Mode is an authoring tool and a TODO lists manager for GNU Emacs.
It relies on a lightweight plain-text markup language used in files
with the =.org= extension.
Org is implemented on top of Outline mode, which makes it possible to
keep the content of large files well structured. Visibility cycling
and structure editing help to work with the tree. Tables are easily
created with a built-in table editor. Plain text URL-like links
connect to websites, emails, Usenet messages, BBDB entries, and any
files related to the projects.
As an authoring tool, Org helps you write structured documents and
provides exporting facilities. Org files can also be used for literate
programming and reproducible research. As a TODO lists manager, Org
helps you organize your tasks in a flexible way, from daily needs to
detailed project-planning, allowing logging, multiple views on your
tasks, exporting your agendas, etc.

Org develops organizational tasks around notes files that contain
lists or information about projects as plain text. Project planning
and task management make use of metadata which is part of an outline
node. Based on this data, specific entries can be extracted in
queries and create dynamic /agenda views/ that also integrate the
Emacs calendar and diary. Org can be used to implement many different
queries and create dynamic /agenda views/ that also integrate the Emacs
calendar and diary. Org can be used to implement many different
project planning schemes, such as David Allen's GTD system.
Org files can serve as a single source authoring system with export to
