Here is an example-based walkthrough of a subset of the format:
 http://steinar.bang.priv.no/2012/05/02/using-org-mode/

Basic document structure of a document is shown (the "memo" part), but I
didn't cover emphasis formatting, web links and cross references or
tables, all of which are essential for a Texinfo replacement.

Though it shows a C source code example.

The "memo" subtree can be exported as a document, in a variety of
formats ('C-c C-e' when standing on the node, and then browse the
alternatives)

(it might be of slight interest that the blog article itself was written
in Org, as were the rest of the articles on that blog)
