Hi Mike,

    https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/index-full.html

It looks nice, but the plethora of versions becomes rather an
undifferentiated mass. Maybe make each major release its own
<table>, as in:

<p>Automake 1.16 releases:
<table>
1.16* versions
</table>

<p>Automake 1.15 releases:
<table>
1.15* versions
</table>

Just to break it up a little.

Also, some simple intro text seems desirable (edit as you see fit):

 <p>Below are links to the manual for all released versions
 of <a href="/software/automake/">GNU Automake</a>.
 The <a href="/software/automake/manual/">current manual</a>
 is also available separately.

And maybe an outro too:

 <p>Above are links to the manual for all released versions
 of <a href="/software/automake/">GNU Automake</a>.

Wdyt?

    i actually regenerated them from scratch rather than extract them 

Sounds good.

The copyright at the bottom says 2020. I don't know if that means
gendocs.sh needs updating, or the template, or something on the web
site, but something somewhere should be changed to 2022. Can you check?
--thanks, karl.
