+Org mode extends Outline mode to turn Emacs into an organizer and an
+authoring system.
+
+When editing a file ending with the @file{.org} extension, Emacs
+automatically uses @code{org-mode} as the major mode.  In this mode,
+headlines start with one (or more) leading star(s) and comments start
+with the @code{#} character at the beginning of a line.
+
+@example
+* This is the first headline
+** This is a first sub-headline
+* This is the second headline
+
+Some content here.
+
+# Some comment here.
+@end example
+
+From here, you can use Org mode as a simple outliner: @key{TAB} on a
+headline will cycle through the various folding states of a subtree,
+and @key{S-TAB} anywhere in the buffer will (un)fold the whole
+structure.
+
+You can also manipulate the structure of your document by moving a
+headline up and down with @key{M-<up>} and @key{M-<down>}, or by
+promoting and demoting a headline with @key{M-<left>} and
+@key{M-<left>}.  If you want to act on the whole subtree (i.e. the
+headline and its content, including other headlines), simply add the
+@kbd{Shift} key and use @key{S-M-<up>}, @key{S-M-<down>},
+@key{S-M-<left>} and @key{S-M-<right>}.
+
+For further details, see @ref{Document Structure,,,org, The Org Manual}.

+
+Each headline can be turned into a TODO item calling @code{org-todo}
+with @key{C-c C-t} anywhere on it.  This will add the TODO keyword
+@code{TODO}.  Hit @key{C-c C-t} to cycle through the list of available
+TODO keywords: you can configure the variable @code{org-todo-keywords}
+to use your own list of keywords.
+
+Now that you have something to do, let's add a date to it: pressing
+@key{C-c C-s} on a headline will add @code{SCHEDULED} below it, and
+you will be prompted for a date through the calendar.  @key{C-c C-d}
+has the same effect, except that the item will have a @code{DEADLINE}
+instead.
+
+Now that some TODO items are planned in the current file, add it to
+the list of agenda files with @key{C-c [}.  Calling the interactive
+command @code{org-agenda} will prompt you for what you want to see: a
+list of things to do this week, a list of TODO items with specific
+keywords, etc.

+
+You may want to format your Org notes nicely and to prepare them for
+export and publication.  Org supports simple text formatting:
+
+@example
+- This text is /emphasized/
+- This item uses *a bold font*
+- This text is _underlined_
+- This text uses =a teletype font=
+@end example
+
+If a paragraph is a quote or an example, you can use specific
+environments:
+
+@example
+#+begin_quote
+``This is a quote.''
+#+end_quote
+
+#+begin_example
+This is an example.
+#+end_example
+@end example
+
+These environments will be displayed in a specific way with respect
+to the selected export/publish backend.
+
+To export the current buffer, press the @key{C-c C-e} key anywhere in
+an Org buffer.  Supported export formats include @code{HTML}, La@TeX{}
+and @file{.odt} (OpenDocument format.)  Depending on your system
+installation, you can also directly export to @code{pdf}.
+
+To export several files at once to a specific directory either locally
+or on the Internet, you will need to define a list of projects through
+the variable @code{org-publish-project-alist}.
