Personally I don't like info/emacs. No real >reasons, just don't, so I wouldn't have even thought about LFS in info. And therin lies the problem. First, please understand I do not wish to be offensive; I would just like to point out that I have noticed that all too often in the open source community developers tend to be more aware of themselves and other developers and not the end user. Providing BLFS in info format does not require dumbing down *LFS or making any other major changes to its content. All that's required is to put aside what one likes or dislikes and consider that Texinfo is a part of LFS so why not provide BLFS in info format? Again I want to emphasize I am not trying to be rude. I fully appreciate the efforts of the LFS team as I simply would not have been able to build a Linux system without guidance from the LFS book. >Anyhow, try this http://people.csail.mit.edu/mernst/software/#html2texi at >first glance it appears to be what you are looking for.
