Automatic HTML Indexer

[J. P. <J....@Qu...>]

I have been thinking of writing (or patching together) a script that
looks at all the available module files and from these makes an HTML index.

The index should give the name of the modules, a brief description
(i.e. module help xxx) and a list of all the available binaries and
man pages for each. Better still the names of the binaries should be
links to HTML versions of the respective man pages, if they exist.  I'm
way too busy at the moment to do justice to this so I'm throwing the
idea open to anyone that might like to implement it.  It should be a
couple of hours work provided an hour's thought goes into it.  Bear in
mind that man2html scripts are plentiful. Try to leave questions of
aesthetics to the user though - my preference is a for a single
page index, simple HTML (no Netscapisms), clear and easy to read.

The idea is that one can almost effortlessly set up a quick
user guide to all available modularised software and which is
easy to update. Maybe someone has done this already ?
