contraly, now that you have 2 locations for HTML, people may be
confused. I doubt this as driving reason to create single page.

This is very true. grep with plain text is not as useful.
But if you wish full searchable document, we have PDF.

Build script wise, they are created when making plain text so no extra
work needed.
