I always do it on my own pages. Readability to humans of the HTML source of generated web pages that will only be read by web browsers hardly seems useful. It might well make sense to run it to make the formatting of the source in CVS that is edited nicer, but there you need to avoid e.g. adding a DOCTYPE since the source in CVS doesn't include the DOCTYPE, it's added in preprocessing. > - in page onlinedocs/gcc-2.95.3/chill.html the DOCTYPE should be first I don't expect anything to be done about regenerating the older release manuals (3.0.x and earlier) generated with texi2html because those manuals weren't adapted for makeinfo --html. (Though Tidy could be run over the generated HTML for them, since they're not going to be regenerated later with more recent tool versions (to keep URLs stable).) The later (3.1, 3.1.1, 3.2, mainline) manuals can be regenerated with some subsequent makeinfo version that supports XHTML (since makeinfo --html now uses stable URLs based on node names). -- Joseph S.
