The first step is to have orgmanual.org generate org.texi. We're not there yet because there is no 1:1 correspondence between constructs used in org.texi and Org syntax. > I believe that orgmanual.org was synchronized with the texinfo version > when it was checked in. No, it wasn't even compiling when it landed in contrib/. Now, it exports correctly. The process is slow, though, due to the sheer number of macros (900+) and some code blocks at the end that can be removed. > But I fear that if this switching to org manual step is > delayed, there might not be enough motivation to keep orgmanual.org > maintained. Note that orgmanual.org is not maintained so far. A starting point would be to try to update a small part of the manual and report what is missing in "ox-texinfo.el". As a side note, I think we could use some free (i.e., noop in "ox-texinfo.el") emphasis markers, e.g. "+...+", for additional syntax, e.g., @key{...}, or @kbd{...}. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
