HTML function reference

[Søren Hauberg]

Hi Octave-Forgers (CC: maintainers list)

I've updated my package for generating HTML files from help texts. The
source is available at

http://hauberg.org/generate_html

The code requires a checkout of Octave that includes the
reimplementation of the help system as m-files. Using the package I've
generated HTML files for the Octave manual, and the 'image' and
'statistics' packages (these were the ones I happened to have
installed). See

http://hauberg.org/manual/chapter/preface.html

This is basically how I imagine the function reference will look in the
future. Some parts of it aren't as nice as the current function
reference, but I wanted to make it as easy as possible to release
packages independently (this meant I had to kill the alphabetical list
of functions, which is a shame).

Do you have any thoughts on this?

Søren

P.S. I'm CC'ing the maintainers list as I think we should have an
improved online manual at www.octave.org. The code in my package should
be able to provide this.
