I never said it was a gret format for the end-user. I said the benifits of
using docbook for a distribution outway the spead the end-user gets from
viewing documentation.
It is easier to maintain a single file than 4 different versions of one.
that's not even talking about the size.
If you want to maintain html versions of the documentation be my guest. It's
a royal pain in the ass and I for one don't even use html. I prefer text. I
know people who prefer .pdf. Which format should we provide? All of them?
hmmm...let's calculate how much larger the distribution got by providing
at least 4 different versions of documentation.
