It's good to know that it's theoretically possible but it doesn't answer
my question. "Are there any sites that have HTML-formatted info pages".

Actually I suppose it does answer my question. Could I extend my
question slightly and say "and what are the URLs of those sites,
please?" :)

In my case, it's esentially the first reason. It is more convenient to
me to have all the information in one place using facilities and key
bindings that I am extremely familiar with and which provide external
indexing capabilities that I use extensively and continually. I hardly
ever use the man command and I never use *info.

Cheers, Dave

BTW, François, I don't need a second copy of your reply, thanks.
