9.2 Document Authoring

Open or create a document in its normal Emacs mode. The mode supplies the format’s editing commands; Emacsvox presents movement, edits and structure through speech. Voice Lock can distinguish useful faces supplied by the mode. The following task writes a small Org note, then reviews it without relying on visual formatting. Org comes with Emacs; no mail account or additional speech engine is required.

For copying an existing document before editing, use Save a separate working copy. Outlines and template fields are covered under Structured editing and templates, and tables under Reading Markdown and Org tables.
