orx section

There is some duplication between the orx sections of the guide and the orx readme's. The guide sections can have code blocks that execute and produce screenshots and videos. The readme's don't do that. We can have some kind of script to copy from one source to the other (guide -> orx repo, or orx repo -> guide).
