Re: generate_html package : texi2html and generate_html_manual functions

[Søren Hauberg]

The 'generate_html_manual' function used to generate a HTML version of 
the Octave manual :-) The Octave-Forge web site used to have a version 
of the manual which integrated nicely with the rest of the site (unlike 
the manual on the octave.org web site). This function generates such a 
collection of HTML files.

I guess the reason why the function has no documentation is lack of 
time, but I think the name of the function is fairly self-explanatory.

I don't remember the details of 'texi2html' vs 'html_help_text', my 
guess is that the manual required a slightly different set of hacks to 
generate than the function documentations, but I'm not sure.
