Hi Carsten, Alan & Co,


sorry for not following this thread closely. If the idea here is deleted
from your list already or is not feasable, just ignore it.



Refcard as info file
====================

  How about maintaining the extended refcard as a second texinfo file?
  After the install, we would have two resulting info files: org and
  org-refcard.

  We could then bind a key to some `org-open-ref-card' function, that
  simply calls (info "(orgrefcard)").



Context help
============

  As for help in general:

  How about binding a key (e.g. `C-c h') to a function calling (info
  &optional file-or-node) to get context-help while in an org-file?

  (info "(org)tags")                      if on a tag,
  (info "(org)properties and columns")    if in `#+COLUMNS' line

  ...and so on.

  Often more than one section will match, so a mapping would be needed
  as well, as some sort of completion.



Best,

   Sebastian
