Hi Martin

I used TeX4ht too on OSX, but some of the .tex files gives errors and 
conversion is cancelled. I am investigating. I tried latex2html too, but 
this turned into something out of html.

I want to integrate the manuals into the application (a own FGx help 
browser, used for FGx help too), without editing any part, just want to 
integrate the latest version available and shipped with recent FG. (oh, 
I can see TeX4ht can also produce DocBooks ...).

I can integrate online help (wiki) too with URLs, but I don’t want to 
force users to have an online connection to read help, and the PDF in 
fgdata is a no-go here for the help system. Anyway, I will find a 
solution to make small junks available to get some sort of quick inline 
help.

Thanks, Yves
