I would like to stop changing the code and instead prepare for the
(pre)release. Is it ok?
Yes. I thought we were :). (Except I know I've been MIA for weeks
now due to other pressures.)
First thing, I think that it would be better to have a separate TODO
for tp and the main TODO.
Fine.
- HTML: different splits for different chapters?
What does it mean?
The idea, as I recall (years ago), was that a manual might have some
chapters that are very long and could benefit by being split at
sections, while other chapters are very short and don't need to be
split.
I don't think it's worth the trouble to think about. Let's skip it.
- HTML: make images of math, maybe.
Is it considered that support of tex4ht or latex2html for @tex and @math
closes this issue?
Yes.
- HTML: allow settable background color, table colors and spacing,
<head> meta tags, etc. A la http://texi2html.cvshome.org. In fact:
Is it done? The url does not seem to be correct anymore...
Clearly left over from before we had the texi2html -> texinfo merge idea
and I was contemplating adding HTML features to C makeinfo. Remove.
- XML: cannot be loaded directly in a browser; why not?
That does not seems strange to me... How could a browser understand a
random XML dialect and do something right with it?
Because it's supposed to be able to look up the DTD and do something.
But I don't really know, or care. Fine to remove. If some user runs
into it, we can research again.
- Docbook: € and other entities do not work; does anything work?
I have removed this one since I believe it is fixed by using unicode
codepoints encoded in utf-8 and using utf-8 as default output encoding.
Great.
Thanks,
