I guess I was thinking of "INSTALL" being a doc to read before Lynx
is running, so an HTML page would be premature. I will write my
stuff in troff macros, and run them through troff2html so that
text, man pages and HTML are available. I'm not so into GNU that
I will do info or texinfo, though.
People may wish to read this document at different times and
under different circumstances.
- to decide if it's worth the trouble to download it
- the first time you Make it
- when you upgrade, to reconstruct what you did the last time
- etc.
There will always be those you want to serve that have no access
to a functioning web browser, but they are probably a minority of
your customers, by now.
In suggesting that the HTML form be the "source" form I was assuming
that lynx -dump or something like that would be used to extract a
plain-text version. Probably also assuming that both the HTML and
text versions would be externalized at the distribution site, in
addition to including them in the .zip .
Sure, you should write in whatever environment you are most comfortable
in. Much appreciate whatever you chose to do.
