What is the "component parts"? I couldn't find the definition.

My issue is all the damn macros. While it displays the flexibility of
Org, it also makes Org-for-texinfo-manuals less appealing. I don’t want
to learn new mini documentation language for each manual I might send
patches to.
Maybe a "Library-of-Macros" would go some of the way of at least making it
feel less ad-hoc?
Another annoyance. When I see something like the an index right after a
headline, I really would like to put the index into the properties drawer:
** Installation
:PROPERTIES:
:DESCRIPTION: How to install a downloaded version of Org-mode
:END:
{{{cindex(installation)}}}
Aside: I’ve been wanting a drawer property for inserting text just before
headings (and maybe just after headings) for a while, e.g.
EXPORT_BACKEND_{BEFORE, AFTER}, or
INSERT_{BEFORE, AFTER}
It would also be useful for latex, e.g.
* Proofs
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_LATEX_BEFORE: \appendix
:INSERT_BEFORE: @@latex:\appendix@@
:END:
