The HTML documentation for Exim3 was prepared by turning the source into
a hacked version of Texinfo, then using texi2html to turn it into HTML,
and then hacking some more. This was expedient at the time, but has many
disadvantages.
For Exim 4, I have now written a new script that generates HTML directly
from the original marked up source. As well as avoiding the hackery,
this has other benefits, such as turning all the cross references into
proper hyperlinks.
I've put a new copy of the alpha HTML documentation in
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/Testing/exim-html-3.952.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/Testing/exim-html-3.952.tar.gz
Note the 3.952 (the original 3.951 was made in the old way).
This unpacks into the directory exim-html-3.952/doc/html, and inside
that directory, you can start from the index.html file.
The content of the documents is not altered in any substantive way. That
will happen when I do the next revision - after the next round of code
changes (which I hope will lead to the "final" testing release).
However, I'd like a few people to take a look at this set of HTML files
to see if they can spot any problems. Are there broken links? Does it
display sensibly in your browser? That kind of thing. Of course, if you
notice typos, I'd like to hear about them too.
Thanks,
Philip
