Would it make sense? I doubt Org will become the de facto standard for Emacs documentation. Two co-existing formats imply maintenance burden. In any case, this should probably be discussed on Emacs-devel ML. > 2. Re: the style guide: why not ditch em-dashes altogether? Even though you're preaching to the choir, I think the main argument in favor of em-dashes is that GNU Emacs manual uses them. There should be some typographic consistency between GNU manuals.
