Karl transmitted your mail, I forgot to say that you need the cvs version
of texi2html to be able to call texi2html as makeinfo, and you also need
to make a link makeinfo - texi2html.

I think that doing an init file along the following should do the trick
(untested), and then call texi2html as
makeinfo --init-file underscore_hex_to_underscore.init


# underscore_hex_to_underscore.init
# change underscore followed by an hex number (for special character)s to a
# simple underscore

$element_file_name = \underscore_hex_to_underscore_file_name;

sub underscore_hex_to_underscore_file_name($$$)
{
  my $element = shift;
  my $type = shift;
  my $docu_name = shift;

  my $orig_file = $element-{'file'};
  if ($orig_file =~ /_[0-9a-f]{4}/)
  {
 $orig_file =~ s/_[0-9a-f]{4}/_/g;
 return $orig_file;
  }
  retur nundef;
}

Hi Peter,

for the sake of backwards compatibility with older versions of the web
site I'd need those files to be called ax_have_epoll.html, i.e. I'd
like to disable the '_' to '_005f' transliteration.

Just to mention a not-very-appealing alternative that you've probably
already thought of, you could add redirects at one level or another in
your web setup so that the old names go to the new names.

Sorry,

[help-texinfo] How to disable '_' to '_005f' transliteration in file names?

[Peter Simons]

Hi,

I'm in the process of migrating the documentation for the Autoconf
Archive to Texinfo format. In the process, I've run into a (minor)
problem and wonder whether there's a simple solution to it.

The documentation has a node per macro. These nodes are called, say
ax_have_epoll. Now, when I use makeinfo --html to generate HTML pages,
the resulting pages are called ax_005fhave_005fepoll.html. However,
for the sake of backwards compatibility with older versions of the web
site I'd need those files to be called ax_have_epoll.html, i.e. I'd
like to disable the '_' to '_005f' transliteration.

Can that be done?

With kind regards,
Peter
