The proposal I thought I was responding to is different from both of those. It was to make Org format an option for the source format for a whole GNU manual. One that could generate the same output formats that we now generate from Texinfo, and would be able to produce a well-formatted printed manual via TeX. This does not inherently require imply generating Texinfo format from Org format. Texinfo format is a source format, not an output format. However, generating Texinfo format as an intermediate format might be advantageous as a way to feed the Org-format manual through TeX to get a well-formatted printed manual. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
