there are lots of websites that contain HTML-formatted man pages. Are there any sites that have HTML-formatted info pages (preferably all pages for one app on one HTML page :) ?
Yes. Info pages are one by-product of Texinfo format, which also can produce laser-printable manuals, and HTML pages. At the very beginning, some people were writing Info pages directly, but it did not last. The proper way is writing Texinfo, and deriving Info out of it. In the tool generating HTML out of Texinfo, there are options for selecting one bulky HTML page, instead of one HTML per node. I see two reasons for why one would want one bulky page (I'm curious to know if there are other reasons): either because HTML browsers cannot conveniently search at once through a bunch of related pages, or else to print a manual in a single browser print request. I would think the above reasons come with HTML format. I remember that "info" knows to search through all nodes (a bit like Vim knows how to search in all its documentation). For printing a manual, the Texinfo to DVI route produces a much nicer manual than the HTML browser route. -- François Pinard http://pinard.progiciels-bpi.ca -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
