Holger, thanks very much for the pointer to the
org.openembedded.documentation branch!  I had no idea that this was
where the "user manual" (and nothing else apparently) lived.

It seems from reading the Makefile that what I want is the output of
"make html-nochunks".  However, when I tried that, the resulting file
"html-nochunks/index.html" was empty.  This is the screen output from
"make html-nochunks":

Clearly the document was being processed and something was happening,
but the output file was empty nonetheless.

Can someone please tell me what I did wrong?

(By the way, I haven't checked the BitBake manual yet.)
