Format Details
Org
Org-mode is a plain-text format used within GNU Emacs for organizing notes, managing tasks and projects, writing documents, and creating structured content. It supports rich headings, nested lists, tables, source code blocks, links, and a complete task-management system with priorities, deadlines, and agenda views. Org files can be exported directly to HTML, PDF, LaTeX, ODT, and other formats from within Emacs.
YAML
YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-friendly data serialization format designed to be more readable than JSON or XML for configuration files and structured data. It uses indentation and minimal punctuation to represent nested data structures, sequences, and mappings in a way that closely resembles natural language. YAML is the native configuration format for Kubernetes, Docker Compose, GitHub Actions, Ansible, and countless other modern developer tools.
