Re: [Orgmode] Org mode manual written in? texinfo?

I guess there are two reasons for this then. The first being that there is no easy Org-mode to texinfo conversion. The second reason being that Org-mode still has less functionality than texinfo in terms of functionality for document writing.

The reason for my post was simple. My thought was that if a tool is created with the capability of doing a certain task, it would seem advantageous to also be using that capability for the needs of the tool itself. Maybe in some distant future there will be support for nice indexes (and appendices! My personal request) also in Org-mode leading to someone writing a org -> texinfo parser.

Aloha Gustav,

Theoretically, one could export from org to docbook, then output texinfo with docbook2x.  I tried this a while ago but couldn't get docbook2x to work with minimal effort and gave up.

I was just wondering... Is the manual written in texinfo markup, or is there some obscure .org file behind the manual still?

If it really is written in texinfo, is this not a shortcoming? Org mode is capable of generating html and pdf etc. Why not use it for the manual then to set the example and show its powers!?
