Re: [Firebird-docs] Do we need/want chunked HTML?
Hi Mark, I actually prefer chunky html, sorry. It loads quicker over single files. True, I can't search the whole file, but if I needed that I'd use the pdf. Having said that, I'm happy to lose the chunky version, if necessary. Cheers, Norm. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.

Re: [Firebird-docs] Do we need/want chunked HTML?
Hello, I think we don't need chuncked html.

The current options to produce chunked HTML output are: 1. Use separate asciidoc files per section 2.
