Use-package: Create a Texinfo doc page for use-package

[jtecca]

I usually have to refer back to the README page for the documentation on a keyword feature that I haven't used in a long time, but I think it would be useful to have a texinfo document for a quick lookup.

If you're willing to accept a PR, I could attempt to convert the README markdown into a texinfo doc (probably via pandoc and some manual cleanup). I'm not sure of how to best handle setting the Info-default-directory-list variable in order to pick up the new info doc, but I could look into this.

That would be such a good addition. I rely mainly on Emacs' Info system, and having use-package docs listed there would be really excellent.

This now becomes very important, if use-package is to be included as part of Emacs.

I know this has been a long time, but I started working on this a while ago. I converted the README into a texdoc format via pandoc, but the default conversion leaves a lot to be desired.

I looked at some of the info pages bundled with emacs, but it looks like there is a lot of extra metadata in those files than what pandoc would include in the conversion.

Does anyone know of any documentation for writing Info docs for emacs? Maybe there's already a package out there for converting existing files?

[jwiegley]

The documentation has begun, see use-package.org.

http://use-package.org is down. Is it intentional?

[jwiegley]

I meant the file of that name within the project.

The website is actually at https://jwiegley.github.io/use-package/. GitHub Pages does support custom domains but it would have to be purchased first.

@jwiegley it was stupid of me :/
@nickmccurdy thanks!

No worries, I was confused by it too
