I object. I think we should be conservative about removing stuff. Nobody is seriously complaining about the broken images on web-big-html, so let's just leave it alone for now. Note that if web-big-html lacks pictures, then presumably other manuals (like notation-big-html and contributor-big-html) will also lack pictures. Also note that fixing the pictures can probably be fixed by adding the right symlink somewhere, or by moving the -big-html manuals into a separate directory. If we really knew how the doc build system worked -- which we don't -- then fixing this would be a 120-second job. Just leave it alone until we understand stuff better. > I have discovered another reason for getting rid of it - it's almost > impossible to test any work done to change the way it's created (BTW > - this is not a bleat about an error I made earlier, it's something > I've realised as I documented make website). The command "make > website" doesn't really make the website. umm... That's no worse than fixing any other problem in the doc build. > lilypond.org has lots > more content on it - all the manuals, for example, the images, etc. > "make website" doesn't even create web-big-page.html. "make > website" really only makes the html pages in web.texi. Yes. I mean, nobody expected "make website" to produce all the binaries for download, right? > On my system, those things (manuals, pictures, > web-big-page.html) are only created by the much slower make doc. Yes. If it helps, think of "the website" as "stuff immediately available on lilypond.org/*.html", whereas "the web manual" as "one of the manuals produced by make doc" I couldn't think of any way to avoid the name clash.
