Sounds like a job for AI.

Jonathan,
it is nice to see that others did fight the same windmills as I did. In
2014 or so I worked on REXXes to get at least the two chapters with
general instructions to HTML
with
-- one column only (who prints the 2240 pages anyway?)
-- each instruction separate and not a single part for a group of
instructions. Look for example at the ADD (with AR, AGR, AGFR, ARK,
AGRK, A, AY, AG, AGF, plus AFI, AGFI, AHIK, AGHIK, ASI, AGSI in one part
of the text and this text tries to describe each and all of these 15
different flavors)
- I failed -
The column stuff was easy (albeit tricky) but the generation of text for
each of the instructions from the "made for all" text failed and brought
the project to a grinding halt- to many different ways to describe the
variations for each of the "sub-instruction".PoP text is good for humans
but tricky for programs to interpret and create good results. What was
good for ADD already failed at the AND - To me it felt like to many
different humans (as opposed to a machine doing it) created the text.
