Hey list,
The paper org manual was an exciting idea. I might buy one soon. I was
wondering how was the editing work involved in turning it into
paper-published book? What tools did you guys use?
Cheers,
- Marcelo.

TeXinfo, I think.

How was the process, from org file to tex to paper? I think it'd be nice if
whoever did it (Carnsten?) documented that on Worg. Org is amazing as a
publishing platform (for books and ebooks), but I feel the information is
still scattered around.

Unfortunately, the org documentation is not an org file: org.texi is the
primary file and it has always been a texinfo file. makeinfo is used to
turn it into an info file, and texi2pdf is used to turn it into a PDF
file (and thence to paper): see the org Makefile.
The reason is that org is part of emacs. The project *requires*
that documentation be provided in texinfo format.

Well, back in the olden days the documentation was simple plain text
inside of org.el which I eventually converted into a texinfo file.
Texinfo has some very nice features which at the time org-mode did not
even dream of having (it did not have an agenda and probably no
exporters).

Hi Marcelo,

Brian Gough might be the one to answer this.
Brian worked on improving org.texi by submitting a lot of
patches -- improving the syntax, etc. See Org's git history
around november-december 2010 to see these patches.
Then I guess Brian exported this to PDF (texi2pdf?) before
printing it.
But I don't know the details.
