Hello all,
Are there plans to have the orgmanual.org (
http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/tree/contrib/orgmanual.org)
completely replace the texinfo version at some point?
I believe that orgmanual.org was synchronized with the texinfo version when
it was checked in. But I fear that if this switching to org manual step is
delayed, there might not be enough motivation to keep orgmanual.org
maintained.

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.

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.

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{...}.

I must be missing something -- is there a SETUPFILE that's necessary to
make this work? Where are all the macros defined?
Thanks,
Eric

Everything is in the headlines tagged with :noexport: at the end of the document.
