Thank you Patrice, that was very useful. I have HTML output that looks
nice now, and I modified the texi so that the PDF looks good too.
Now, I have footnotes and they appear after a "Footnotes" title even
though I have:
@documentlanguage fr_FR
@documentencoding utf-8
in my headings.
Is there a way to fix that?
