So if I understand, if your suggestion is accepted then your functions would have to be included into octave itself rather yhen OF? in this case I would suggest to have the HTML pages be built automatically by pkg.m at the time each package is installed or rebuilt so that an user could have a local hypertext with a list of installed packages and links to their html ovrview and function help pages, what do you think? > Søren c. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Octave-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/octave-dev
