copied!<p>I started out with <em>markdown</em>, but switched to <em>org-mode</em> after a few years of using markdown.</p> <p>I think that <em>Markdown</em> is more readable than <em>org-mode</em> - especially if you don’t use Emacs. You have the special headings with underline while org-mode uses a line starting with <code>#+title:</code> as title and <code>*</code>, <code>**</code>, … for chapter/section/… headings. Also markdown links are <code>[text](link)</code> instead of <code>[[link][text]]</code> and footnotes are <code>[^footnote]</code> instead of <code>[fn:footnote]</code>. </p> <p>On the other hand, org-mode can do about everything you might want to do with a plain-text list - from planning your work and scheduling your writing time to including code-fragments which actually can get executed on export, so an exported document always contains the output of the latest version of the code automatically.</p> <p>I switched to org-mode after starting to use it just for todo lists. Then I realized that I could also write nicely in it. And that the link syntax might be more complex than markdown, but <kbd>C-c C-l</kbd> generates it for me. And that exporting just works. </p> <p>If you use <a href="http://gnu.org/s/emacs" rel="nofollow noreferrer">emacs</a>, I would definitely suggest org-mode.</p> <p>I even write for my markdown-based website with org-mode, using the <a href="http://orgmode.org/org.html#Markdown-export" rel="nofollow noreferrer">markdown-export</a>, which for example adds support for convenient creation and editing of beautiful tables.</p>
