What about putting something like this on every node of|on the online html
manual:
You can evaluate this from within emacs itself for getting the right copy for
your emacs version:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(info "(emacs) File Variables")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Above is equivalent to:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/File-Variables.html
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
