beorg writes files using the Org mode syntax. Whilst you can edit these files using any text editor a text editor which understands Org mode will work best. Org mode was written for the Emacs editor and if you want to use all of the many features supported by Org mode then you will want to use Emacs. However there are plugins for other editors including Visual Studio Code, ViM, Sublime Text and others. These will only support a small fraction of what Org mode is capable of, however beorg only supports a small fraction of the power of Emacs Org mode anyway.
Org mode is a very rich, capable system. If something supported by Org mode isn’t described in this user guide, or can’t be set in Scheme, then it is likely not currently supported by beorg.
To find out more about Org mode see orgmode.org.
