Of course, even when installed from Melpa it is self-documenting in the sense that the source files are full of documentation. The lentic-org.el file contains a description of how to convert an existing file from being an normal el file to an "orgel" file (which is the name I have given to an el file that converts cleanly to an org file with lentic). I could translate these to info (via org-mode and texinfo). But melpa presents a challenge here, since it works on the source only, and I need to generate the texinfo from the source, at least as far as I know. So, unless, I can get MELPA to run arbitrary lisp during build, I do not know how this would work. Or I could denormalise my git repo and put the generated files in there; not ideal. > Or, why not install it en Elpa? It depends on dash.el which is not on ELPA. It's not that dependent on dash, though, so I could write dash.el out if I really needed to, but I am hoping that dash gets into ELPA before I reach 1.0. > BTW my interest in Lentic comes from that I recently started using > Litterate programming for my emacs init file (which works very well) > and also for some clojure/overtone code, where the literate paradigm is > pretty useful (because overtone is a music live coding environment) This was fairly similar to my driving use case, to be honest, where I am combining a Clojure based ontology development environment with documentation. I mentioned it to Sam Aaron last time I saw him, as I think he uses org-mode performance notes. I can't remember whether I had org-mode integration at that point, and it was slower then. I should ping him again. Phil
