Re: A new online publishing tool for Texinfo documents.

   I just wanted to point out that there are divergent goals being discussed
   in this single thread.

Yes, good point.

   Indeed, I was wrong: even a remote Info file accessed via ange-ftp
   can be searched incrementally.

Are you sure it does this efficiently -- that is to say, will I be
able to navigate through a complete `Emacs Lisp Reference Manual' in
less than 17 seconds, or will it take me 17 minutes before my
`Info-search' expression has got to the last node?

My understanding is that ange-ftp/tramp downloads the file or files to
the client machine and the search is done by the client.


   If the goal is to make documentation available for web browsers,
   makeinfo --html already does that.  Right?

No, `makeinfo --html' does a poor job; you cannot move around a
document well.
