The Treelang manual isn't a great example of a front end manual. The
front end may not be a great example of a front end either - it certainly
doesn't follow the GNU Coding Standards particularly well - but your
resurrection was a reasonable example of how you can take something old
and bitrotten and clean it up, and should anyone wish to go further with
Treelang it could serve as a first stage of a gradual transition into a
great example.
