Was there a general consensus among the developers that anything with the word HAL in it should be removed from the Integrators Manual? I for one am against it for one reason, it leaves the integrator manual lacking vital information to build and set up a machine. Even with large screen monitors having to have two pdf's open along with your configs and jumping back and forth makes no sense to me. My original driving force to work on the manuals was because I never could remember what manual I had read something in. I have been working for years trying to reduce the HAL manual to only those things that pertain to running HAL standalone and making the Integrator Manual the place for all the information a machine integrator might need, but I guess that has been all been changed...
We do have two sets of documents the pdf and the html and I know of no reason they must match exactly in layout. They are two completely different ways of having the information with different navigation schemes.
