Hi,

With the pdf increasingly in readability-decline (more and more text 
parts fall off the (right) side of the page and quite a few tables 
contain unreable bits) I would like to have a single page html. (cf the 
bash scipting guide at http://tldp.org/guides.html  even if that is 
smaller than our html (2.3 MB vs 12 MB))

Simple concatenation is trivial but to keep the texts in the correct 
order, and to keep the links working is a bit more complicated.

Ideally I'd like a single file with chapter-headings either at the top 
or even (gulp) in a left-hand frame.

The goal is to make the text directly searchable, like one can do in the 
pdf.

It might even be good to include such a single-file html in the Makefile 
as an option.

I'll give it a try but has anyone done this work already, perhaps?

Thanks,

Erik Rijkers
