Hi Sergey,
- No question that the current situation with cross-manual links is bad.
- It doesn't make sense to hardwire the www.gnu.org setup into makeinfo
IMHO. This is why Patrice and I worked out this external
configuration file thing. No, it's not implemented in makeinfo yet,
and I wasn't planning to attempt it for the next release (which has
already been delayed too long).
- Having Texinfo source commands for this doesn't seem right to me.
Where and how the references should link is related to the system on
which the manual is installed rather than the document.
- I believe that the current situation can be ameliorated by changing
gendocs.sh to assume a different structure, the one used in
gnu.org/manual/emacs (which goes back to having html_mono). .symlinks
can be used to find manuals for other packages. Not perfect, but
better. Perfection will have to come later ...
- The current structure written by gendocs was actually perpetrated by
me, fairly recently. It seemed unnecessary to me to have all those
subdirectories for each file format, and desirable to have each manual
in its directory, but I was wrong. I just haven't had time to delve
back into it since I was informed.
Best,
Karl
