Hi Simon,

    Would a tool to extract GTK-DOC comments and create Texinfo source be
    suitable for inclusion in texinfo?  What do you think of the approach?
    Is it a bad idea altogether?

I think it is a very nice idea, and I'd be happy to include such a
script in Texinfo.  Although it seems like a toss-up as to whether it is
better to include it in Texinfo or in GTK.

I'm cc-ing Alper Ersoy, who's done a lot of work with Texinfo and GTK,
to get his reaction and advice.  (Alper, I'll send you Simon's original
message separately.)

    For what it's worth, I might volunteer to clean up the perl hack or
    (more likely) rewrite it, to fit within the texinfo infrastructure, if

It's worth a lot :).  I wouldn't have a hope of finding time to
implement it myself.

Thanks,
karl
