Re: [Orgmode] include an .org file and lower the level of all its headers

[Samuel Wales]

I have often wanted this, specified by org-id, to include a subtree.
I would not want it to be in a separate file, but that could be
arranged also, in principle.

I have also wanted to include the body text of a node without any
structure at all directly into some text.  Just insert those
paragraphs into the middle of the body text of a node using org-id to
specify the text to be included.

I don't know if we are all talking about the same thing.

If babel or links don't work adequately for this purpose the way they
are now, there is a specific proposal for a universal syntax that
might be useful.  It hasn't been implemented yet.  Search for
"extensible syntax" and "parsing risk" and "ID markers".  It's been
discussed for text color and link visitedness, among other things.
