Should we switch to the roff2ps & ps2pdf approach for the Doc/Makefile? Then we won't ship the doubled PDF in the doc package. The website needs a4 and us-letter (and their PS versions), so maybe something like this: roff2ps -ms -P-pa4 < intro.ms > intro.a4.ps && ps2pdf intro.a4.ps roff2ps -ms -P-pletter < intro.ms > intro.us.ps && ps2pdf intro.us.ps >> Are the texinfo sources for intro.ms available (the link on the >> website doesn't work anymore) or is there another way to create >> HTML from intro.ms (roff2html doesn't really work)? > > I think intro.ms has been edited in that form.

It's outdated (at least missing recent changes to intro.ms - haven't really checked further). Should we just leave it there (maybe with a note) or remove the HTML version and only link the PDF/PS versions?

It's probably worth leaving there with a note until such time as someone gets a chance to turn intro.ms into Yodl, which shouldn't actually be that difficult as long as we aren't strict about formatting. The sentence at the end saying Bas is happy to get email about it good probably do with editing out. -- Peter Stephenson <p.w.stephenson@ntlworld.com> Web page now at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/p.w.stephenson/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
