I'd like to export my latex files (and maybe other files) as rtf files, so that the syntax highlighting will be kept (that is - keep it 'plain text' with colors).
I tried using Org-mode to convert to HTML (thinking later to copy it into LibreOffice and hope for good results), but I couldn't make Org export it with the correct colors.
Is there a way to export buffer to rtf using the current font-lock ?
I think you're looking for M-x htmlfontify-buffer.

Is there a way to use org-mode TODO settings in another major mode? For example, is there a way to get a Markdown file I'm working on to have TODOs listed in it?
I'm not aware of org-mode logic being applied to other markup formats like markdown. It definitely is an intriguing possibility.
If you find markdown necessary, you could convert markdown to org-mode syntax and back. Pandoc can convert from markdown to org-mode.
pandoc -f markdown -t org project-notes.md
You can then export from org-mode to markdown using C-c C-e m. You would probably need to tweak the process heavily to avoid thrashing of artifacts between converters since the conversion back and forth is far from perfect.
Personally, I would choose to use an org-mode file as an authoritative copy and export from that as needed since it is more powerful.
I need to export a lot of documents written with Emacs-Orgto markdown. I am using the export via-pandoc. Everything works fine except for the multitude of special symbols written using org-syntax. Just an example the β character which in org is written \beta in the exported document I have \\beta instead of β . Is there a way to fix this instead of manually change few hundreds of symbols ?
To replace text in a single file, you simply type M-x replace-string. To replace strings for multiple files, follow the following instructions:
Assemble a list of files you want to operate on with either find-dired, find-name-dired or find-grep-dired.
Mark all files in the resulting Dired buffer using t.
Use Q to start a query-replace-regexp session on the marked files.
To accept all replacements in each file, hit !.
I don't use pandoc but with a similar problem exporting org-mode files to html I found I needed to enter the entities as '\beta{}' and not just as '\beta' (without the quotes)
In latex we can split a big document(paper.tex) into several tex files(abstract.tex,intro.tex ...) which can be inserted inline using \input{paper.tex}.
Is there a similar facility in org-mode?
Just use the include command i.e.
#+INCLUDE abstract.org
#+INCLUDE intro.org
This will inline abstract.org and intro.org in the current org file. See also the org-mode documentation on include files.
Without test, but I think you can just simply add the latex command \input{paper.tex} in any place of .org file you want. It will render the .tex file to final file.
PS: other option: Include-files which are mentioned in the comment.
I want to use imagemagick to create image files instead of MathJax when exporting to HTML.
How would I go about doing this?
I came across LaTeX Fragments from the manual, and it mentions org-format-latex-header variable, but I am unsure what to set this to in order to use imagemagick.
The documentation states you should be able to use the following option at the start of your buffer:
#+OPTIONS: tex:imagemagick
If this doesn't work you may also want to try the latex (not tex) key. i.e.:
#+OPTIONS: latex:imagemagick
I am trying to put the Microsoft Word document in emacs using org-mode. I have copied the Word Document and pasted in emacs. I like to achieve the headings like 7.1.2.4 in org-mode format.
and then link the TOC to appropriate headings. How I can do that? Any suggestions? Any programming language like Perl has done it?
Thanks.
There is ODT2ORG (https://bitbucket.org/josemaria.alkala/odt2org/wiki/Home) which lets you import odt files in org-mode.
Use Openoffice/Libreoffice to produce an .odt from your .doc.
Use odt2org to get an .org.
About the headings: I am not entirely sure I understand you.
there is org-toc.el included in org-mode that provides a seperate buffer with a TOC of your current document (like in Reftex). All the entries there are already links to the individual headings. Also, an exported document will have a TOC included by default without your intervention.
Orgmode does not support automatically numbered headings (yet). However, if you want to export your document to html, docbook, latex, or pdf, your headings will appear numbered and nested (you can tweak the settings quite a lot).
I doubt that you will get your intended result purely automatically but it should work 70% automatically, especially if you have latex installed and simply want to have a good-looking pdf in the end. Convert doc to odt, convert odt to org, open and type "C-c C-e d".
Another option: Save as an HTML file, then use Pandoc to convert the HTML to an .org file.
I've converted loads of Word documents into Org files. It takes minutes to do it by hand.
If you want cross-references, use internal links (4.2 in the current manual).
The * and ** style headings are always likely to be there in Org. Think of the use case where exports are compiled from #+INCLUDEd files, or you have done a selective export using tags. Any kind of single sourcing technology isn't going to display the numbering.
There is a ruby gem which converts doc to md. With pandoc you can convert to org.
