Subject: ox-texinfo: use an Org section as Info Top node
Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2018 00:33:09 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87lgbe0yga.fsf@bernoul.li> (raw)
Hello,
Congratulation on converting the Org manual to Org! (I haven't really
gotten around to adjusting magit.org and my other manuals yet though.)
Anyway, I have an only marginally related feature request:
Currently ox-texinfo uses the text before the first Org section as the
"Top" Info node. That is fine for manuals like org-manual.org where
that part of the document only consists of a few lines. In my manuals
there are up to 40 lines before the first heading, which makes it
desirable to make that part of the document collapsible.
As a side-note, the reasons why I put more than just
> #+title: The Org Manual
>
> #+texinfo: @insertcopying
at the beginning of the file is that (1) I like to set the variables
there, and (2) I put more information into the Info "Top" node (which is
not included in the pdf export) than what I would like to be displayed
on the copyright page when exporting to pdf. The latter should only
display the copyright information, while I want the former to display
e.g.:
> Borg User Manual
>
> The Borg assimilate Emacs packages as Git submodules. Borg is a
> bare-bones package manager for Emacs packages.
>
> This manual is for Borg version 2.0.0 (v2.0.0-59-g89a9394+1).
>
> Copyright (C) 2016-2018 Jonas Bernoulli <jonas@bernoul.li>
> ...
It is already possible to set the section whose content is to be used
on the copyright page (and which can be inserted elsewhere using
"#+texinfo: @insertcopying") using the COPYING property.
Could you please implement something similar for the "Top" node, using
a property such as TOP?
Cheers,
Jonas
