Hi Vladimir, |

That look like a reasonable idea but we would have to change the way |
10 |
we do things before doing that. We made the current decision some |
11 |
time ago and it may be time to revisit it. |
12 |
It is compulsory now because it installs the help system for sage. |
13 |
The html and/or pdf files are just icing on the cake and you don't |
14 |
have to install them. The html come in handy with the notebook however, |
15 |
since you can access it directly. |
16 |
|
17 |
If you don't install sage-doc you cannot ask sage for help on any |
18 |
command using "?". For example if you do: |
19 |
integrate? |
20 |
you will get help on the syntax and some example. I think this is |
21 |
a fundamental part of sage. If you disagree I am ready to hear about your |
22 |
argument. |
