I couldn’t get cross-referencing working. http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/texinfo.html#Cross-References The texinfo part of the Org manual could use a section on cross-referencing > The other thing I'd like to know is how to "inline" sections (ie output > several sections on a single page), but still have links to those > sections work correctly.

I would agree, but perhaps I’m biased since I don’t have much of a working knowledge of texinfo other than enough to add sections to an existing manual. You could look at the texinfo manual and see if we are missing something http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/texinfo.html On the top of my head it would be good to have a cross-referencing section, though I think that there may not be support for too sophisticated referencing, at least judging from ‘org-texinfo--@ref’. Another area that seems slightly lacking is support for all markings, so perhaps there could be a section on accessing your favorite via ‘org-texinfo-text-markup-alist’ (if ‘org-texinfo--text-markup’ supports it) and the rest via macros, if necessary. http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/texinfo.html#Marking-Text Thanks, Rasmus -- There are known knowns; there are things we know that we know
