I'm trying to decide how to build the new website. In particular, I'd like to be able to create pdfs as well as the html.
I currently see four options: 1) Build the website with texinfo and texi2html. With sufficient stylesheets and texi2html hacking, I think this is /possible/, but I don't know how much appetite there is for this. I would only touch the content, not presentation, of course. 2) Continue writing in html, and use one of the html2latex scripts to make pdfs. So far I'm not impressed by the html2latex scripts I'm seeing, but I haven't spend very long looking. 3) Use one of these newfangled langauges like SGML or docbook or whatever to produce pdf and html. I really don't like the idea of adding another language to the project, though. 4) Abandon the "complete website as pdf" idea and just give people a tarball of the website for off-online browsing. Particular parts of the website I'd like to have available offline: - the crash course and short tour in Introduction. - the essay about typesetting in the About - the FAQ, publication list, acknowledgements - getting help That's over half the material. So far I'm leaning towards #4; interested readers can still print the HTML directly, although the pagination will suck. And to be honest, it's not like the pdfs that texinfo produces are fantastic examples of typesetting, either.
