The addition of a single line:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
at in the <head> of the R HTML generated manuals would make them much easier to
read on mobile devices.
texi2any (which generates the HTML files) is based on long-working Perl code
that includes many modern HTML elements but does not include this one.
A Perl one-liner in the install-html: Makefile directive in Makefile.in:
install-html: installdirs
@for f in $(OBJECTS_HTML); do \
if test -f $${f} ; then \
$(INSTALL_DATA) $${f} "$(DESTDIR)$(rdocdir)/manual"; \
perl -pi -e 's/\<meta name="desc/<meta name="viewport"
content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">\n<meta name="desc/'
"$(DESTDIR)$(rdocdir)/manual/*.html"; \
fi \
done
would insert this (I still need to read Makefile.win to see where it should go
there) and I'd be glad to create a PR unless folks do not think better
accessibility on mobile is a good idea.
$(PERL) does not seem to be defined but Perl itself is a requirement for
texi2any so it is definitely something that would work in the current
installation process.
