In addition, is latex the right format? I would like html pages so I
can look things up in a browser. I'd also like the new reference
manual accessible from within maxima via describe.
I've not had very good luck with latex to html converters, and who
wants to rewrite maxima's describe that's tightly coupled to texinfo
to use something else? (However, perhaps it would be easy for maxima
to start up a browser to read documentation, as some of the clhs
packages do for lisp. This is fine for me.)
The manual itself looks fine. I would have separate installation
manual and a user/reference guide.
