As I said back then, doing this is straightforward, but we kind of need
more than one user who asks for it before we make it part of a regular
service, which comes with maintenance costs.
Hey, count me as another interested person in a single-file plain-text
doc output format.
Well, there are two separate things here:
* providing a Makefile target to build plain-text output.
* shipping prebuilt plain text docs in standard distributions.
I am for #1, not so much for #2, mainly on the grounds of size. But
given #1 it would be possible for packagers to make their own choices
about whether to include plain-text docs.
Wouldn't it suffice to make it downloadable, like the pdf doc?
And/or make the HTML version downloadable side by side with the PDF.
There are good reasons for wanting access to the complete document when
being offline. PDF is not such a bad format but it do have some
limitations as have been previously mentioned.
As for building the docs I don't think everyone, not even all
developers, has the tool chain installed (or even wants to).
