The base manual (Master Document) is in a local markup.
. A local program formats it into ascii and into PostScript.
. Perl scripts handle the index and table of contents for ascii and PostScript.
. ps2pdf turns the PostScript into PDF.
. A Perl script converts the base into texinfo input.
. Another Perl script converts the base into HTML, including the index.
So far, I have not made the Master Document public, because few other
people can process it. This means there is no proper documentation of
the markup...
