[Maxima-discuss] A question on maxima-index-html.lisp

[Eduardo O. <edu...@gm...>]

Hi list,

a few days ago I tried to make the htmlized version of my messy notes
on Maxima -

  http://angg.twu.net/e/maxima.e.html

a bit better, and I started to work on a way to make sexp hyperlinks
like these

  (info "(Maxima)funmake")
  (find-maximanode "funmake")

point to:

  https://maxima.sourceforge.io/docs/manual/maxima_164.html#index-funmake

My first prototype parsed the file

  /usr/local/share/info/maxima-index-html.lisp

and sort of did the right thing. But then I tried to compile other
versions of Maxima - with "git checkout 5.46.0" and "git checkout
HEAD" - and I saw that the file maxima-index-html.lisp didn't exist in
those versions.

It seems that the code that used to generate and use
maxima-index-html.lisp is changing. Which files of the current version
of Maxima should I read to understand how it works now and where it is
heading to?

  Thanks in advance!
