As a follow-on question, who is the wizard who wrote the code to parse  
all the DOCSTRINGS for Octave and Octave-forge into this HTML format?   
Do you know if there is way to convert the texinfo stuff to docbook?   
This would make the creation of the help browser with search  
capabilities infinitely easier.
