Just realized the need for export to info.  So never mind.  And it was
obvious anyway.

Great idea.

If the manual were in org, then the tag, :basic:, would suffice. Just
export only that tag.  But maybe that is more work instead of less?

Dear all,

with the Org-mode manual moving toward 200 pages,  I am
starting to worry that people with stop in their tracks
when considering Org-mode, just because of the sheer size
of the manual.

So I did a little experiment.  I took the manual and stripped
everything which could be considered advanced material, but
keeping all features and all basic commands and customizations.

What remains are about 50 pages.  A document with the same
structure (even the same chapter numbers) as the manual.
I am wondering if it would be useful to have this as a beginners
document - or if the existence of this document would lead
to more confusion than relief.

    http://orgmode.org/orgguide.pdf

I don't see this a an alternative for the manual - just
as an additional, rather static document, with little need for
updates.  The manual would continue to be the comprehensive
and constantly updated document.

Comments are welcome.

Aloha all,

What is the shortest route from org to info? Is it possible to convert the org files that make Worg manual pages to texinfo?

Tom
