No, once manual.org is the official source for org.texi, there shouldn't be any difficulty AFAICT. My concern is with the time between a working manual.org and when it becomes the official source. IIRC, I wasn't able to get a commitment to make manual.org the official source, so was looking at an open-ended future of what I considered arduous maintenance, without any real hope the project might succeed. Perhaps you have that wrinkle ironed out? BTW, I wasn't able to export manual.org using Org mode version 9.1.4 (9.1.4-elpaplus @ /Users/dk/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20171205/). It fails with this message: format: Symbol=E2=80=99s value as variable is void: M-x Does it depend on a more recent Org mode? All the best, Tom -- Thomas S. Dye http://www.tsdye.com
