Because the text output of texinfo was pretty useless (all pre-formatted stuff was unformatted etc) and i could not fix it fast. This does not mean it is impossible - i am just pretty clueless about texinfo :-) I really want to have a usable text-only manual (i hate those big HTML manuals and i find info files really disgusting ;-), and lynx -dump was the solution that looked best and was fastest to implement. > Why don't we also simplify the Makefile.am a bit and use > > info_TEXINFOS = powersave.texi > all: html > > This would install a nice info file and we only needed to copy the html > pages to /usr/share/doc in an install-data-hook. This should be answered / decided by somebody more intimate with texinfo than me - i'm rather concentrating on the documentation contents. That's why we formerly had just a huge bunch of READMEs - which also of course was no really good solution ;) -- Stefan Seyfried \ "I didn't want to write for pay.
