Re: Cannot generate eiffel docs after fresh install

[Raphael Mack]

Hi,

yea, clearly I'd say it's better to continoue. But we had already so
much trouble with eiffeldoc - you know that normally it runs on every
commit and generates the nightly docs, but that process also fails due
to memory issues. Also the size of the generated HTML is a nightmare
and maybe it would be best, to redesign the whole thing, starting with
better html output and than rework eiffeldoc as needed to do the job
properly. Ideas or PRs are warmly welcome!
