Hi!
I think there were some misunderstandings with the last mails and I will try to clear things up a bit: Astrid (and I) was (were) referring to the 'ancient' HTML files which aren't converted to XML up to now. We do not intend to drop neither the *resulting/generated* HTML files nor their content!
It's just a fact that we finally have to get rid of the old files to take full advantage of the new xml system. I'm thinking here of other formats (PDF, ...) and tree-cleaniness and so on...
So, no worry: HTML will still be alive. We definitely can't rely upon XML-only docs at this point of browser-development :-)
cheers, erik

I think, the html docs will disapear in future when the last html file has been converted to xml.
I missed a step somewhere. How are the html docs going to disappear? As long as we're putting these docs on the web site, and shipping them with a web server, it seems reasonable to have them in a web-viewable format. And, last I checked, that was HTML. Not all browsers can render XML, and not all of us are willing to switch to a browser that can. Yet several people seem to think that the HTML docs are going away. Can someone explain this to me? Thanks.
