Your mileage definitely varies here. (e.g. how easy is it to regexp search a subtree of web pages? Essentially impossible without a lot of extra infrastructure, that's how easy.)

info schminfo Posted Mar 1, 2007 3:53 UTC (Thu) by roelofs (subscriber, #2599) [Link] Your mileage definitely varies here. (e.g. how easy is it to regexp search a subtree of web pages? Essentially impossible without a lot of extra infrastructure, that's how easy.)But that's just extra UI fluff. (I'm not saying it's not useful UI fluff...) Is there any particularly good reason at this point why the underlying file format couldn't be HTML (or XHTML)? The info client could still behave as you like, including multi-page regex grep. Meanwhile, those of us who favor portability could use a standard web browser as the client. Greg
