Use Org dynamic blocks

This section is about the external package denote-org (by Protesilaos). The code of denote-org used to be available as part of the main denote package, but we decided to keep each optional extension as a separate package to make things easier to maintain and to understand.

Denote can optionally integrate with Org mode’s “dynamic blocks” facility. This means that it can use special blocks that are evaluated with ‘C-c C-x C-u’ (org-dblock-update) to generate their contents.

Dynamic blocks are particularly useful for metanote entries that reflect on the status of earlier notes (Writing metanotes). The denote-org package defines many of these Org dynamic blocks.
