22.1 HTML Translation
makeinfo will include segments of Texinfo source between
@ifhtml and @end ifhtml in the HTML output (but not
any of the other conditionals, by default). Source between
@html and @end html is passed without change to the
output (i.e., suppressing the normal escaping of input ‘<’,
‘>’ and ‘&’ characters which have special significance in
HTML). See section Conditional Commands.
The ‘--footnote-style’ option is currently ignored for HTML output; footnotes are always linked to the end of the output file.
By default, a navigation bar is inserted at the start of each node,
analogous to Info output. The ‘--no-headers’ option suppresses
this if used with ‘--no-split’. Header <link> elements in
split output can support info-like navigation with browsers like Lynx
and Emacs W3 which implement this HTML 1.0 feature.
The HTML generated is mostly standard (i.e., HTML 2.0, RFC-1866).
One exception is that HTML 3.2 tables are generated from the
@multitable command, but tagged to degrade as well as possible
in browsers without table support. The HTML 4 ‘lang’
attribute on the ‘<html>’ attribute is also used. (Please report
output from an error-free run of makeinfo which has browser
portability problems as a bug.)
