Thanks for the contribution. I've only had time for a quick look at it, but I did notice at least one punctuation character in it (a hyphen) which htfuzzy doesn't strip out, but which htdig/htsearch do, so the synonyms file shouldn't have any punctuation. Could you tell me, so I don't have to check for myself, whether your synonyms file includes all the items in the original file? If so, yours could be a direct replacement. Otherwise, we may want to merge the two. In either case, we should also check to make sure no word appears more than once in the file, because htfuzzy synonyms doesn't properly handle duplicates. I believe the original synonyms file does contain a few duplicates, which cause some incomplete entries in the database, as the last occurrence of a word overrides previous ones. > I won't have a new version of Doc2html for you for some time, though the > present version does need improving, because I want to revise the > documentation and try out some alternative conversion utitlities.
