I tried using @html within the header portion of the makeinfo file, and that
didn't work. I haven't looked at the sources.
What I think is desirable here is some means to introduce attributes of the
body tag (e.g. bgcolor, link colors, etc) and also some means to introduce
link tags in the html header.
A perfectly acceptable solution to the links issue would be a means to
inject raw html into the <head> portion of the document, which shouldn't
require a big departure from what is already there. The link color issue
probably wants either an HTML-oriented @htmlbody tag or a set of well-known
variables, as in
@set html-body-bgcolor red
Not having thought about it a lot, I'm partial to the well-known variables
approach.
