It's obvious when it's working. This way the user (maintainer) can estimate remaining time and clearly see that Emacs is busy working, not hung. Anyway, this is only my opinion. >> I'll also start to work on generating PDF and PostScript versions of >> doc/misc manuals as requested by Jambunathan K[fn:1] later. > > I would not bother if I were you.

Can't we just use the same method used by emacs/lispref/eintr for `(manual-misc-manuals)' and just press `M-x make-manuals'? >> I also have a question here: `manual-html-mono' does not generate the >> manual for lispref.

But why does `manual-html-mono' and `manual-html-node' only include (by "makeinfo -I") `doc/emacs' and `doc/misc'? I did't see lispref there. -- http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/
