HTML definitely has its merits, but I find a PDF very much more<br>
convenient than a huge structure of HTML files for reading and<br>
searching the documentation.<br>
<br>
Could a "compromise" be to generate the PDF(s) as a separate<br>
process? We could then generate the PDFs less frequently<br>
(and provide a warning about that).<br>
