It also +contains an amazing plain-text table editor with spreadsheet-like +capabilities. + +Org-mode develops organizational tasks around NOTES files that contain +information about projects as plain text. Org-mode 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. Org-mode supports ToDo items, deadlines, time stamps, +and scheduling. It dynamically compiles entries into an agenda that +utilizes and smoothly integrates much of the Emacs calendar and diary. +Plain text URL-like links connect to websites, emails, usenet +messages, BBDB entries, and any files related to the projects. For +printing and sharing of notes, an Org-mode file can be exported as a +structured ASCII file, or as HTML. + +Org-mode keeps simple things simple. Not every outline branch needs +to be an action item, not every action item needs to have priority or +scheduling information associated with it.

The highlight in the TOC +buffer stays when the focus moves to a different window. A dedicated +frame can show the TOC with the current section always automatically +highlighted. The frame is created and deleted from the toc buffer +with the `d' key. + +The new command `reftex-goto-label' jumps directly to a label +location. + +The toc window can be split off horizontally instead of vertically. +See new option `reftex-toc-split-windows-horizontally'. + +*** Changes related to citations + +Inserting citation commands now prompts for optional arguments when +called with a prefix argument. Related new options are +`reftex-cite-prompt-optional-args' and `reftex-cite-cleanup-optional-args'. + +The new command `reftex-create-bibtex-file' creates a BibTeX database +with all entries referenced in the current document. The keys "e" and +"E" allow to produce a BibTeX database file from entries marked in a +Citation selection buffer. + +`reftex-citation' uses the word before the cursor as a default search +string. + +The support for chapterbib has been improved. Different chapters can +now use BibTeX or an explicit `thebibliography' environment. + +The macros which specify the bibliography file (like \bibliography) +can be configured with the new option `reftex-bibliography-commands'. + +Support for jurabib has been added. + +*** Changes to the Index support + +During global indexing, a user function can verify an index match. +See new option `reftex-index-verify-function'. + +*** Miscellaneous changes + +The macros which input a file in LaTeX (like \input, \include) can be +configured in the new option `reftex-include-file-commands'. + +RefTeX supports global incremental search. + +Operating in a document with thousands of labels can be sped up +considerably by allowing RefTeX to derive the type of a lable directly +from the label prefix like `eq:' or `fig:'. The option +`reftex-trust-label-prefix' needs to be configured in order to enable +this feature. While the speed-up is significant, this may reduce the +quality of the context offered by RefTeX to describe a label. + ++++ ** Prolog mode has a new variable `prolog-font-lock-keywords' to support use of font-lock.
