I don't know what you mean by "for the most part", but since it cannot
simply display a GNU manual converted to HTML by texi2any, I guess
something else is needed that a docset needs to provide that isn't
readily available.  So packages need to _want_ to provide this format,
otherwise their docs will not be viewable in Zeal.
