This isn't sufficient reason to hate html-based documentation, since
anyone who frequently uses text-mode *should* have built lynx a long
time ago. What makes only-html based documentation (or only-info based
documentation for that matter) really obnoxious is that we're robbed
of functionality like apropos/man -k. Yes, I *could* go and
grep -i keyword /usr/local/info/*, but that's just *awkward*.
Anyone who calls html-based and info-based documentation a "step forward"
in the evolution of online documentation probably also thinks that stupid
Paper Clip assistant in Microsoft Office counts as "artificial intelligence".
