I'm a beginner, and I'm trying to imagine how I'd use org mode to
create a sort of running conversation with myself. That is, I'd
like to do a form of journaling where I could make notes to
myself, which would include the usual text as outlne-hierarchy,
hyperlinks too, but also babel code chunks, as well as any sort of
mathematical formulae I might want to include. It's this last
requirement that seems to be the hardest. As far as I can tell,
the readability of my raw org file would go out the window when I
started trying to put in math formulae. As I understand, you
basically do raw Tex markup for math stuff -- and you can only see
the results when you export to something external to Emacs like
html for a browser or PDF for a PDF viewer. Is this correct?
And for my title question, is there a native "in-house" i.e., the
final product is viewable in Emacs, export that would be rich
enough (text, images, and math symbols)? Besides the embedding of
a PDF viewer in a buffer trick, Emacs seems to have only Info.
Does Info allow images and fairly normal-looking math symbols? Or
is "final product" always an off-site, extra-Emacs business?
