Texinfo in Org-Mode but with texinfo syntax highlighting

Texinfo in Org-Mode but with texinfo syntax highlighting

[Christopher Dimech]

Dear Compeers,

I am writing a document in texinfo, but I also have some commands in
Org-Mode so that if I change my Emacs Major Mode to Org-Mode
I get an easy way to traverse my texinfo code. However I would like
to keep the syntax highlighting as the use set for texinfo, rather than
that of org-mode. I share a way to do that?

There is some code out there to let you run multiple major modes in
Emacs, I would look into that:

See https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MultipleModes and perhaps check
for https://github.com/purcell/mmm-mode

2 cents,

Further 2 cents (now we're up to 4 cents ;-) ):

There is a folding minor mode on MELPA that seems to be what you want
instead of org-mode.  You just embed fold markers in a comment (what's a
comment for texinfo?) and fold away.

However, why not consider writing your document with Org and then export
to Texinfo?
