I need many 'r'...
the doc, are normaly .doc text. Imean:
- formatting (text, tab, margin...etc)
- fonts
-etc.
I need to format in .rtf, because:
- it is well formatted text
- are plain text
- the parser can find e subsiuite variable
I cannot use other format, because the server side application, already use
this format (because, is text format, and can also support formatting).
So you tell me to look at org-mode?
wich package can I use in org mode?
TIA
