Re: [Bug-gsl] Syntax highlighting for the site

[Patrick Alken]

The GSL manual is written in texinfo, which is nice since it allows us 
to easily make versions in html,ps,pdf,ascii and a few other formats 
from the same master file. Unfortunately as you note the html version 
isn't very advanced. I'd be open to explore converting the manual to 
some other system, but I don't know of any other documentation system 
which has all the capabilities of texinfo and also has better html support.
