Dear Camm,

Did test your branch and since it didn't apply cleanly the first time I 
tried I created a "makeinfo" branch in maxima's git repository that 
contains all the changes.

The pdf and info files it creates look great. In fact the pdf files 
your script creates seem to be identical to the ones I am used to.

make html unfortunately results in an error message, though:

[...]
zn_005forder.html zn_005fpower_005ftable.html zn_005fprimroot.html 
zn_005fprimroot_005flimit.html zn_005fprimroot_005fp.html 
zn_005fprimroot_005fpretest.html zn_005fprimroot_005fverbose.html 
/home/gunter/src/maxima/doc/info
+ cd /home/gunter/src/maxima/doc/info
+ set +x
perl ./create_index
Can't open maxima_toc.html at ./create_index line 8.
Makefile:1181: recipe for target 'contents.hhc' failed

wxMaxima needs the contents.hhc file that tells it in which .html file 
the help for the current command can be found. Alternatively it could 
perhaps be modified to be able to deal with a single-page html file.
The documentation of texi2any 6.0 states that there is a 
--internal-links=file switch that creates a list of internal links that 
could be converted into a contents.hhc by means of an sed or an awk 
script. Andrej's version of texi2any didn't offer this switch, though. 
Don't know how common texi2any installs are that are too old to provide 
this switch.

On the plus side the .html files the new approach generate have changed 
their names (which was to be expected) and I assume we want to tweak 
the .css a little bit for the table of contents but the html docs 
created by your script do look fine, too.


Kind regards,

  Gunter.

The patch doesn't apply cleanly, but after a minor change I can
apply it. make html does seem to generate a lot of stuff but
eventually fails with:

  perl ./create_index
  Can't open maxima_toc.html at ./create_index line 8.
  make: *** [contents.hhc] Error 2

Looking at create_index, I guess it expects there to be a
maxima_toc.html with a certain structure. Poking around in
the stuff, that was produced, it looks like perhaps index.html has
the table of contents stuff? At any rate it seems like it will be
necessary to update create_index.

Also with this patch it looks there are 4000+ html files --
can they go into a subdirectory or temporary directory?

Thanks for working on this stuff.

I don't know how I overlooked that file and similar ones.
Thanks for the reminder. Hopefully fixed by commit a10a2d3.
