+# html2texi.pl -- Convert HTML documentation to Texinfo format
+# Michael Ernst <mernst@cs.washington.edu>
+# Time-stamp: <1998-09-10 12:52:38 mernst>
+
+# This program converts HTML documentation trees into Texinfo format.
+# Given the name of a main (or contents) HTML file, it processes that file,
+# and other files (transitively) referenced by it, into a Texinfo file
+# (whose name is chosen from the file or directory name of the argument).
+# For instance:
+#   html2texi.pl api/index.pl
+# produces file "api.texi".
+
+# Texinfo format can be easily converted to Info format (for browsing in
+# Emacs or the standalone Info browser), to a printed manual, or to HTML.
+# Thus, html2texi.pl permits conversion of HTML files to Info format, and
+# secondarily enables producing printed versions of Web page hierarchies.
+
+# Unlike HTML, Info format is searchable.  Since Info is integrated into
+# Emacs, one can read documentation without starting a separate Web
+# browser.  Additionally, Info browsers (including Emacs) contain
+# convenient features missing from Web browsers, such as easy index lookup
+# and mouse-free browsing.
+
+# Limitations:
+# html2texi.pl is currently tuned to latex2html output, but should be
+# extensible to arbitrary HTML documents.  It will be most useful for HTML
+# with a hierarchical structure and an index.  The HTML tree to be
+# traversed must be on local disk, rather than being accessed via HTTP.
+# This script requires the use of "checkargs.pm".  To eliminate that
+# dependence, replace calls to check_args* by @_ (which is always the last
+# argument to those functions).
+# Also see the "to do" section, below.
+# Comments, suggestions, bug fixes, and enhancements are welcome.
+

+### Typical usage for the Python documentation:
+###
+
+# (Actually, most of this is in a Makefile instead.)
+# The resulting Info format Python documentation is currently available at
+# ftp://ftp.cs.washington.edu/homes/mernst/python-info.tar.gz

+### Structure of the code
+###
+
+# To be written...
+
+
+###
+### Design decisions
+###
+
+# Source and destination languages
+# --------------------------------
+# 
+# The goal is Info files; I create Texinfo, so I don't have to worry about
+# the finer details of Info file creation.  (I'm not even sure of its exact
+# format.)
+# 
+# Why not start from LaTeX rather than HTML?
+# I could hack latex2html itself to produce Texinfo instead, or fix up
+# partparse.py (which already translates LaTeX to Teinfo).
+#  Pros:
+#   * has high-level information such as index entries, original formatting
+#  Cons:
+#   * those programs are complicated to read and understand
+#   * those programs try to handle arbitrary LaTeX input, track catcodes,
+#     and more:  I don't want to go to that effort.  HTML isn't as powerful
+#     as LaTeX, so there are fewer subtleties.
+#   * the result wouldn't work for arbitrary HTML documents; it would be
+#     nice to eventually extend this program to HTML produced from Docbook,
+#     Frame, and more.
+
+# Parsing
+# -------
+# 
+# I don't want to view the text as a linear stream; I'd rather parse the
+# whole thing and then do pattern matching over the parsed representation (to
+# find idioms such as indices, lists of child nodes, etc.).
+#  * Perl provides HTML::TreeBuilder, which does just what I want.
+#     * libwww-perl: http://www.linpro.no/lwp/
+#     * TreeBuilder: HTML-Tree-0.51.tar.gz
+#  * Python Parsers, Formatters, and Writers don't really provide the right
+#    interface (and the version in Grail doesn't correspond to another
+#    distributed version, so I'm confused about which to be using).  I could
+#    write something in Python that creates a parse tree, but why bother?
+
+# Other implementation language issues:
+#  * Python lacks variable declarations, reasonable scoping, and static
+#    checking tools.  I've written some of the latter for myself that make
+#    my Perl programming a lot safer than my Python programming will be until
+#    I have a similar suite for that language.

+### To do
+###
+
+# Section names:
+#   Fix the problem with multiple sections in a single file (eg, Abstract in
+#     Front Matter section).
+#   Deal with cross-references, as in /homes/fish/mernst/tmp/python-doc/html/ref/types.html:310
+# Index:
+#   Perhaps double-check that every tag mentioned in the index is found
+#     in the text.
+# Python:  email to python-docs@python.org, to get their feedback.
+#   Compare to existing lib/ Info manual
+#   Write the hooks into info-look; replace pyliblookup1-1.tar.gz.
+#   Postpass to remove extra quotation marks around typography already in
+#     a different font (to avoid double delimiters as in "`code'"); or
+#     perhaps consider using only font-based markup so that we don't get
+#     the extra *bold* and `code' markup in Info.
+
+## Perhaps don't rely on automatic means for adding up, next, prev; I have
+## all that info available to me already, so it's not so much trouble to
+## add it.  (Right?)  But it is *so* easy to use Emacs instead...
