I still have a desire to take this forward, although lack the time to do so on my own. Having org generate texinfo that plugs directly into existing manuals would be nice (as it would allow a piecemeal translation). Helping to define a new HTML based representation (with adding semantics) that would add the features of info to HTML (and the features of HTML to info!) would be the ultimate. org-info.js is some of the way there already. Then we could use any kind of source (besides org) to generate the HTML, and hopefully, have it all work together. Phil
