I agree too. AmigaGuide has too many limits now and it's better to substitute it with html than to power it up. But a complete web browser is a bit too big.

Yes, this is the right choice. Online help needs less stuff than a browser.

The author of WebMaker is working on a html.mcc, this would be the right solution for Mui applications.
Just use a MUIA_Application_HTMLHelpFile!

Sorry, I don't know
But as it seems the whole datatype system (hypertext, amigaguide, man, htm=
l)
will be released as shareware after all theses datatypes are finished.

Hello Thomas,
in a message dated 13 Jun 96 you wrote:

Does a Texinfo-to-HTML converter exist? I was looking for that, but nobody
could tell me if it existed, let alone where.
TG> Oh, you cant use different font styles or pics with AmigaGuide or what=
?
Well, not so many. And pictures are not embedded in the document.
TG> Sure, lots of fonts are cool. But they totally confuse the reader and
TG> distract from the contents of the text.
That's a problem of the document writer. I certainly wouldn't use 32 fonts
in various sizes in the same page. But things like titles in a bigger font,
or proportional fonts for the "normal" text and fixed-width fonts for
source-code examples are things AmigaGuide can't do.

I know that the author of WebMaker is writing a HTML
datatype. But I don`t know when it will be ready. Watch out
