I found this in NEWS:
- Texinfo rules now support the `html' target.
Which was a welcome addition, since I have been adding
EXTRA_DIST = ... foo.html ...
info_TEXINFOS = foo.texi
foo.html: foo.texi
$(MAKEINFO) --html --no-split --number-sections foo.texi
for a while in a number of projects.
But the automake rule seem to output the HTML into a sub-directory
foo.html/. Any thoughts on making the automake HTML support a bit
more flexible? E.g., allowing single-file outputs (--no-split).
Defaulting to the --no-split mode of operation would make the HTML
target similar to PS, PDF and INFO targets, FWIW. But I guess
automake ideally should support both --no-split and generating many
files in a sub-directory too. In that case, there is a problem with
calling the sub-directory 'foo.html' since it prevents a file
'foo.html'. Rename the directory to 'foo-html'?
Looking at the generated Makefile rule I see:
.texi.html:
$(MAKEINFO) $(AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS) $(MAKEINFOFLAGS) --html -I $(srcdir) \
-o $@ $<
Is it possible to use '--no-split for HTML but not for Info?
Btw, the manual still contains a small section with:
For instance, until HTML support is part of Automake, you could use
this to install raw HTML documentation:
Thanks,
