#### 25.10.2 Org as an authoring system

You may want to format your Org notes nicely and to prepare them for export and publication. To export the current buffer, type `C-c C-e` (`org-export`) anywhere in an Org buffer. This command prompts for an export format; currently supported formats include HTML, LaTeX, OpenDocument (`.odt`), and PDF. Some formats, such as PDF, require certain system tools to be installed.

To export several files at once to a specific directory, either locally or over the network, you must define a list of projects through the variable `org-publish-project-alist`. See its documentation for details.

Org supports a simple markup scheme for applying text formatting to exported documents:

    - This text is /emphasized/
    - This text is *in bold*
    - This text is _underlined_
    - This text uses =a teletype font=

    #+begin_quote
    ``This is a quote.''
    #+end_quote

    #+begin_example
    This is an example.
    #+end_example
