I don't see any advantange in relying on advanced capabilities in the help browser. I agree however that shipping the HTML with the sources is not a perfect solution. Converting at installation time is an option, but then it adds a new requirement to the build environment and I doubt that a lot of people have a working featureful XSLT processor installed. It is probably a good idea to continue to do the conversion when packaging the help tarball (on 'make dist'). Salut, Sven
