Hmm. Now I'm wondering if I had a half-built doc tree, with the remains of Jan's "@node lower-case" stuff. I cleared out Docuemtnation/out-www/, but I didn't think to touch out/xref-maps. > > (should we start casting dirty looks at Reinhold and Patrick? > > They were the people who wrote the original one, so they're in the > > best position to remove the unneeded code from the new one... but > > again, I don't believe in blaming / making demands on people > > because they helped out in the past) > > It will take me dozens of hours to understand Texi2thml init scripts > well and then a few extra hours to do the planned > changes/bugfixe/cleanups.

Oh, I definitely *have* been casting dirty looks. At pretty much everybody *apart from* the lilypond-texi2html people... I don't like perl, but they didn't have any choice about that.

Instead of doing texi2html init files, could you check that the translation infrastructure is working? In particular, - we now have web.texi - web.texi now goes into web/ - index.html.in just redirects to web/ This *should* make everything much easier -- all manuals are split, all manuals are in separate directories, etc. I *think* that I've un-hacked the relevant translation stuff, but I'm not certain about that. Could you check this stuff, maybe translate one sentence on half a dozen nodes inside Documentation/fr/web/*.itexi for testing, etc etc ? I don't really know where we stand on waf; I've spent 20 hours so far, and I'm not enthusiastic. But I definitely think we should get the stepmake system working again, with translations. waf isn't going to be ready before 2.14, and in any case I want people to be translating web.texi ASAP.
