Everything you say is right, but at least for now this is not that much of a problem. My workplace is quite small and teams are usually the size of about 5 people. We also don’t have any strict guidelines for anything and there isnt that much standardization. Two of my coworkers use Lyx for their documents and documentation, while me and another person prefer orgmode (he started using it after I showed him my documentation I worked out in orgmode). Since my other colleagues use Lyx (which is just a GUI for LaTeX), it actually is not that much of a problem, since they can simply include my files. Alternatively it would also be possible to add the rendered pdfs together, however thats kind of a dirty way.
Would it be better if we used a more standardised solution for writing documentation? Absolutely, but currently we dont have that and I am not in a position to change this (and I also like emacs enough, that I dont want to leave my ecosystem).














That is a great idea. Did you swap it on your entire machine or just for emacs?
