As far as I understand generate_html just uses functions from octave- core to generate the help text. So, if something is wrong in this it is probably a bug in the octave help system that you may want to report to bug-oct...@octave.org > - Finally I think it may be helpful to know exactly what svn stuff > (like > .svnignore files etc) can be deleted from packages (or maybe this > can be > automated too). AFAICS it serves no purpose for installing in octave.
