So at Bitbucket  CPU cycles  are cheaper than  disk space.  Hmmm.  But I
think this is solvable by moving  this part of the code from "DocFix.sh"
to "HtmlMake.py", so this change never makes it into the "*.md" files.

Whoa!  You are right in that "cmake" and perhaps "you" are doing it that
way.  Buth the "cmake" approach has both,  advantages and disadvantages,
and in any case, it's still far from being anything that could be label-
ed "mainstream".  Just my two cents, offered solely under the "NRWP" (No
Religious Wars, Please :-) license.

Python is already installed when you use Mercurial.  An additional Pyth-
on package?  Well yes, if you (rightly) choose to provide your document-
ation in Markdown format rather than directly in HTML, then some product
must do  the conversion.   A Perl package would  require Perl,  a Python
package would  require Python,  but Python's  already there,  see above.
And a shell?  Ok, the current solution probably is for Unix/Linux/Cygwin
only,  but I'm  sure some  Windows freak  can easily  come up  with some
".cmd" file which processes all "*.md" files with "HtmlMake.py" yielding
the corresponding "*.html" files.  The other two scripts are already ap-
plied to the  source repository  and are not strictly  necessary for the
user.

And if you distribute the documentation  as "tar" ball or "zip" archive,
you could just distribute the "*.html" files only, without any ado.

Do you mean "Top"  (top of current page)?   This  normally  is a browser
shortcut key.   Or do you mean "Up"  (one level up)?   This currently is
the "Manual" link.  Or am I getting you totally wrong?

You're welcome :-)
