Hi Marcelo, Marcelo de Moraes Serpa writes: > How was the process, from org file to tex to paper? Brian Gough might be the one to answer this. Brian worked on improving org.texi by submitting a lot of patches -- improving the syntax, etc. See Org's git history around november-december 2010 to see these patches. Then I guess Brian exported this to PDF (texi2pdf?) before printing it. But I don't know the details. -- Bastien

Well, back in the olden days the documentation was simple plain text inside of org.el which I eventually converted into a texinfo file. Texinfo has some very nice features which at the time org-mode did not even dream of having (it did not have an agenda and probably no exporters). -- Christian Egli Swiss Library for the Blind, Visually Impaired and Print Disabled Grubenstrasse 12, CH-8045 Zürich, Switzerland

The reason is that org is part of emacs. The project *requires* that documentation be provided in texinfo format. Nick

How was the process, from org file to tex to paper? I think it'd be nice if whoever did it (Carnsten?) documented that on Worg. Org is amazing as a publishing platform (for books and ebooks), but I feel the information is still scattered around. - Marcelo.

[O] The org paper manual - tools used
Hey list, The paper org manual was an exciting idea. I might buy one soon. I was wondering how was the editing work involved in turning it into paper-published book? What tools did you guys use? Cheers, - Marcelo.
