Just saying.
Oh I don't think it's about shortcomings, just about having a version that's tweaked specifically for writing Emacs manuals. I _really_ want my packages to have info manuals, and I _really_ don't want to learn how to write texinfo. I saw Rasmus' Org manual in org, and it looked like a lot of work. Then I noticed that the Magit manuals used this texinfo-plus thing, and it seemed good enough. I think what might be nice would be to have another exporter, derived from ox-texinfo, specifically for writing Emacs manuals, that helps authors conform to the Emacs manual conventions. The way texinfo-plus handles lists of keybindings/user options/etc is nice, and it appears to set up the indexes for you, you only have to add concept index entries manually. Does that sound feasible? It would be great if this was available out of the box. Eric
