ledger and org-mode

ledger and org-mode

[Baldero Mendoza]

I have noticed that Emacs 25 no longer includes help ( using "C-h-i") for
"ledger" or "org-mode". Am I wrong in this, or was there a reorganization
that filed that stuff somewhere else, or what?

I do see "Org mode' in the top level Info menu.

As for "ledger", what is that?

Command line accounting tool by John Wiegley:

The only connection with emacs is that there is a ledger-mode:

  https://github.com/ledger/ledger-mode

and the documentation (of both ledger and ledger-mode) is available as
texi files, so it can be browsed with info (but of course, the user has
to add it: it was never distributed with emacs afaik).

Thanks.  But then its documentation never was part of the Emacs
distribution, so I'm not sure why the OP thought there was some change
in Emacs in this area.  The documentation of Org was and is part of
the distribution, as I wrote.
