Hi all
Here: http://gnudoc.ferrier.me.uk/
is something that (I think) Bob Chassell challenged me to do 10 years
ago. A "modern" HTML based viewer for info/html.
This is only the Emacs Lisp manual because I wanted to use the real,
online documents, rather than regenerating them and the GNU docs site is
sadly a bit of a mess appearing to have no standard url for accessing
docs.
But it could easily be extended to all the other GNU doc manuals.
This is only an experiment but I am pretty confident that a JS based app
could emulate info in the browser almost exactly, with only the search
command being a little tricky to handle.
Anyway, it's a curiosity.
Possibly the most curious thing is that the backend is written with
Elnode, my Emacs webserver:
https://github.com/nicferrier/gnudoc-js/blob/master/gnudoc.el
for those who are interested.
I'm not sure I'll take this any further but I did want to show some of
the possibilities and fulfil a long standing request.
