Hi,
I am making html links into the maxima manual from
another document. they look like this:
manual_path/maxima_5.html#IDX97
But if the manual changes (say adding a chapter or function)
then a lot of links can break. I wonder if there is a way
to avoid this, or is it just a feature of texinfo or
latex2html that can't be avoided.
The document I am writing is in latex, with latex2html
macros to make external html links. So here is an
idea:
There is a file called index.hhk in the maxima html manual
directory. It looks like xml or something, but it consists
of a simple map between index entries and html links. In a
master html page, I could put the links in as the index
entries. Then I could convert the index entries to html
links with a perl script, eg "doallmxops" --> maxima_25.html#IDX784
writing a new html document and then process that with
latex2html. It seems like a PITA but I can't come up
with anything else.
thanks,
John
