@mattiabunel @SReyCoyrehourcq @mc2 @lukascbossert @raphaellek Thanks for mentioning #orgdown. 馃檱

However, the org community still lacks a formal definition of the (whole) syntax.

From orgdown perspective, #od1 specification would be a promising low hanging fruit but as long as the #orgmode community does not embrace the "syntax separate from implementation" idea I tried to coin, this isn't going to happen, I'm afraid.

Maybe from outside of the #Emacs/org community because orgdown as a syntax has many advantages IMO: https://karl-voit.at/2025/08/17/Markdown-disaster/

@ramin_hal9001 @hyperreal @dozens I'd say that #OD1 is pretty minimal: https://gitlab.com/publicvoit/orgdown/-/blob/master/doc/Orgdown-Levels.org

ad embedded #elisp absolutely not. Not another JavaScript hell with a different scripting language. That would introduce the same issues we're facing with the current WWW. #orgdown
