Nope, it suggest to use howm with markdown only, while when using emacs prop-line feature, you can use it with any markup.

- gwern 2y agoSo, because you disagree with one nitpicky detail, you believe a blog post laying out the history and features and uses of howm is inferior to a landing page which contains nothing but 2 links, which themselves contain nothing useful except perhaps 3 or 4 links deep there might finally be something which explains to a HNer what howm is and why they might ever care about it? Nope.
- artsi0m 2y agoSorry, of course no. But there is much better introduction blog posts on this topic in my opinion. I liked this one: https://baty.blog/2024/03/the-emacs-howm-package-for-notes https://baty.blog/2024/03/the-emacs-howm-package-for-notes
- viberations 2y agoartsi0m, is there a reason to use prop-line, when howm already supports org by adding a hook to it? the reason I'm asking is I've been trying to make org-mode automatically work in howm preview buffer howmC, but it still displays as plain text until I hit RET on the note... was wondering if you maybe found a way around it via prop-line somehow? I've seen your github, where you mention the "# -- mode: org --", but whether I use that or not in .org files - makes no difference to preview buffer
