Very nice. An easy way to make this pretty would be to generate all the HTML
files with a reference to a CSS file, just like the online version of the manual
here:

http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/index.html

The key line is

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../octave.css">

You'd also have to include a copy of the octave.css, of course.

Thank you! You're right, it was my machine configured with a weird terminal 
type.

But is the info manual really working for you? Do 'doc', with no parameters,
then scroll down to * Strings::. I get "Strings: No such file or directory".
