Hello,
texi2html is basically integrated in texinfo. Right now I haven't
changed anything in what was installed, so the C-makeinfo and
texi2html are installed.
texi2html may be installed under 3 names: texi2html, makeinfo and
texi2any. As makeinfo, it is fully compatible with C-makeinfo,
as texi2any, the default output is raw text and it accepts more
options, it is meant to be output format independent. And as
texi2html, options are the same than texi2any, but not parsed
as gnu getopt, and, when generating html --- the default output
format --- there are some incompatibilities with makeinfo.
I think that texi2html should not be installed as long as
it is distributed in a separate tarball. Now there could be an
installation target that installs it as a link to the installed
script.
Here are the questions:
* should texi2any be installed? Or should makeinfo have the
texi2any options added and still be used as the converter
of choice?
* if texi2any is installed
- should the makeinfo perl replace the C-makeinfo? If
yes should C-makeinfo still be installed under a different
name?
- should texi2any be advertized as the tool to use instead
of makeinfo?
Opinions?
