One of the reasons why I would like to get rid of HyperDoc is that it is legacy software that hinders us to go on more freely. If you are unaware of it ... HyperDoc contains a full copy of the FriCAS book (https://fricas.github.io/book.pdf). And basically the same information as is now at http://fricas.github.io/api/. The language for HyperDoc is called HyperTeX and is a small subset of TeX, with some extensions for creations of menus etc. Most of the sources for the Book is in .htex file. They are basically LaTeX files that can easily be translated to the .ht (hypertex) format. But these .htex files must follow a simple structure, because they are modified by simple looking awk scripts. Actually the book doesn't bother me too much, but I would really like to agree on a better format for the ++ docstrings. Who really knows how formatting is to be done for ++ docstrings? I cannot make http://fricas.github.io/api looking much better. It's not a question of "the API stuff needs online access", because if we would agree, we could also distribute that information for local access on the users computer, easily accessible with an ordinary browser. The only thing (in my eyes) that HyperDoc can do and http://fricas.github.io/api does not provide, is showing "which domain/package/category implements a certain function". Admittedly, that is a very useful feature, but that should/could rather be available from the FriCAS command line. I actually don't like to start an X programm (HyperDoc) only to find out about which domain implements some function. If this feature is provided in another way, then we could slowly let HyperDoc rest in peace.
