Subject: Re: [HELP] Fwd: Org format as a new standard source format for GNU manuals
Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2022 23:03:52 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <F150D664-B9B2-45EA-BEB8-610FD8A1E0E9@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <E1ohIOz-0007qi-Dl@fencepost.gnu.org>

I would just like to point out that anyone familiar with writing a Texinfo-format manual who wants to combine this with Org mode would likely just want to embed Org constructs, like Org tables in the manual; not to use Org as a formatter that exports individual source blocks to form a Texinfo manual (literate programming style).  This is because their focus while writing will be on the manual and its formatting, not on Org markup that exports to another markup.

I hope this is considered in your strategy.
