Bruce Perens: > The unification of Debian documentation will be carried out via HTML.
I assume the unification won't mean that the native formats aren't supported -- they _do_ have benefits. That said, I fully agree with choosing HTML. Debiandoc, supports on-line conversions to HTML from man and text, and info2www supports Info (it isn't really integrated, but it's not really visible). The converters are configurable. In addition, I think we should provide texi2html'd documentation in addition to Info files. texi2html seems to do a better job than info2www. > A keyword search facility and a unifying set of indices are a high > priority. I don't think we have free software packaged to do full text searches. We have glimpse and ferret, neither of which is free. There's something that is part of freeWais, but I haven't looked at it yet. Someone with the time should find and package one. It should be usable from the command line so that it can easily be integrated into Debiandoc. -- Lars Wirzenius <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.iki.fi/liw/> Please don't Cc: me when replying to my message on a mailing list.
