html documentation for kde



Is there any use for the kde documentation in html format, that some packages 
generate?

kdeaddons-doc-html - KDE add-ons documentation in HTML format
kdeedu-doc-html - KDE edutainment documentation in HTML format
kdesdk-doc-html - docs in html format for the KDE Software Development Kit
kdetoys-doc-html - KDE toys documentation in HTML format
koffice-doc-html -  KDE Office Suite documentation in HTML format

It is not something that KDE is using, and all the documentation is available 
from within the programs and from the khelpcenter. It is just that you can 
also get the documentation through a web browser, over the web server or 
locally.

It might be useful for some, but is it useful enough to warrant separate 
packages for it? Right now only some of the kde modules have documentation in 
this way, and some have not. I think that either they should all have it, or 
these packages should all go.

If they are valuable, then it is the question if there should be localized 
versions of the documentation in html too?

I think these html files just clutter up the installations, and that someone 
might install them not knowing if they are needed or not, "just in case", so 
better get rid of them. Those few who want them can very easily generate 
them.

Or is it someone who think they should stay?
