I've updated a patch for adding the "wxhelp" in helpbook format to the
WXT and Qt terminal windows:
https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/patches/707/
https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/patches/_discuss/thread/5dca9423/7c9e/5833/attachment/gnuplot-htmlhelp-2015jul11.patch
It is a nice way to access the documentation--fast, search-able, can
freely navigate forward and back using scrollbar, plot examples.
Note that the patch does some reorganization because the documentation
serves as a basis for both terminals, e.g., rather "helpbook" takes the
place of "windows" in the source tree. There are docs/wx and docs/qt
subdirectories for the different bundles, and then when installed they
end up in help/wx and help/qt subdirectories of the install location.
On the matter of html version of the documentation, the recent changes
to the docs make file and usual mods occasionally finding their way into
code have resulted in
make html
make install-html
not working so well. Some issues:
1) Building html appears to put all sorts of PDF files in the docs
subdirectory. It might be better for that to be in some directory like
docs/pdf.
2) Building gnuplot/html from outside the install directory seems to
fail with a long, long stream of warnings about img3 (image003), img4
(image004), etc. not being found.
3) Building gnuplot/html from inside the install directory works better
but still has problems such as:
