Hi all, after some more work, I think I have resolved most details for generating LilyPond's HTML documentation with texi2any. The only minor detail I would like to call out (for transparency) is that we will again have "see section" when building with Texinfo 6.7, essentially reverting https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/merge_requests/1109 It is (in my opinion) a very minor cosmetic change and, as you can read up in that merge request, it already hit some objections when it was introduced one and a half years ago. With texi2any, we do not have the same customization hook and would have to format all references ourselves. Additionally, "see section" will again disappear with Texinfo 6.8 because of upstream changes, so I propose we just live with that for now.
There will certainly be other (hopefully smaller) problems, but I believe there aren't major blockers anymore. I would therefore like to propose that we switch to texi2any reasonably soon. Please note that the only really critical part is the website because it's generated from master, and that one should be in fairly good shape. Minor problems in the other manuals "only" affect the unstable releases and can probably be dealt with as they are discovered. For a possible timeline, we could wait for the release of LilyPond 2.25.8 (probably September 16/17 because I'm travelling next weekend, unless Jean wants to do it again) and then merge the changes right after. This would still allow us to maybe shake out some first problems and also clean up some workarounds remaining from texi2html. What do you think? Jonas
