Just my 0.02 EUR:
The HTML for C-h i would not need to be “real” HTML, just something
which would look like HTML to a browser. What I mean is: It could be
like the text/enriched format (whitespace being significant, so that
you get a nice plain text when you just strip the markup), but with
tags borrowed from HTML:
<!-- [info file] -->
<html>
<h1>Defining Functions</h1>
<p> We usually give a name to a function when it is first created. This
is called "defining a function", and it is done with the `defun'
special form.</p>
<p> - Special Form: <b>defun</b> name argument-list body-forms
`defun' is the usual way to define new Lisp functions. It defines
the symbol NAME as a function that looks like this:</p>
<code class="example"><pre>
(lambda ARGUMENT-LIST . BODY-FORMS)
</pre></code>
[...]
<code class="lisp"><pre>
(defun capitalize-backwards ()
"Upcase the last letter of a word."
(interactive)
(backward-word 1)
(forward-word 1)
(backward-char 1)
(capitalize-word 1))
</pre></code>
[...]
</html>
In that case it should be simple to use either format.el or
`write-region-annotate-functions' to strip the markup and put faces or
other text properties on the text. Proof of concept (works with the
example above):
(defconst info-translations
'((face (Info-title-1-face "h1")
(variable-pitch "p")
(bold "b"))
(nil (nil "code"))
(nil (nil "pre"))))
(defun info-next-annotation ()
(let ((found nil))
(while (and (not found)
(search-forward "<" nil t))
(backward-char 1)
(cond ((looking-at "</\\([[:alnum:]]+\\)>")
(setq found (list (match-beginning 0)
(match-end 0)
(match-string 1)
nil)))
((looking-at "<\\([[:alnum:]]+\\)\\(?:.*?\\)>")
(setq found (list (match-beginning 0)
(match-end 0)
(match-string 1)
t)))
((looking-at "<!--")
(let ((beg (point)))
(when (search-forward "-->" nil t)
(skip-chars-forward "\n")
(delete-region beg (point)))))
(t (forward-char 1))))
found))
(defun info-deannotate-region (beg end)
(interactive "r")
(format-deannotate-region beg end info-translations
'info-next-annotation))
