Agreed. -- Looking at the output from texi2html -menu -split_chapter seems to be our best bet for including the entire manual online in html form. Menus work, the file sizes are reasonable (without the -split_chapter we got a >1M html file for the docs... Which would take forever to download). The next problem is figuring out how to get a pointer into the news and bugs section. The labels inserted by texi2html are based on section number, not the name of the section. I suspect with a little perl work we can add an appropriate label that can be referenced from outside the document to get to the bugs & news sections. jeff
