I agree on your point whole heartedly but I also think GNU will not convert their texinfo upstream contents to HTML/SGML/XML. Practical resolution seems to be autogeneration of HTML pages from the upstream texinfo pages. > My main arguments are detailed here: > http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2001/debian-user-200112/msg04038.html Your crusade will not be successful without patch to the info-page containing packages. With "texi2html", it may be quite possible to impliment either prior to packaging or as a part of install script. Or is it done alread and I just do not know where to find these info based web pages. -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ +++++ Osamu Aoki @ Cupertino CA USA See "User's Guide": http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/users-guide/ See "Debian reference": http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ "Debian reference" Project at: http://qref.sf.net I welcome your constructive criticisms and corrections. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
