Hi!

Section 12.4 says that we must include HTML documentation if possible.
As I understand, the HTML won't be compressed. (It won't, right?)
The problem is on the files needed by the HTML. If the HTML points to a
PDF, or some txt files, they don't need to be compressed too?
Or we must patch the HTML to something like this:

Original HTML:
"You can see an example at example.txt"

Modified:
"You can see an example at the compressed file example.txt.gz"

It's not clear (at least for me) what is the correct way. If we don't
compress the files needed by the HTML or if it's necessary to compress.

Thank you very much!
Nelson

        This is up to the maintainer. As long as the HTML
 documentation so packaged is usable, it should not matter how it was
 done.
