21 debian have a similar and much nicer tool called dwww which merges
22 all html-doc, htmlized infopages, and htmlized manpages into one
23 uniform system. I think gentoo being better should have an equivelant.
24 But as of yet, no such equivelant exists, which I think is sad, as
25 in my experience, the documentation available to gentoo as a whole is
26 /much/ superior to that on competing distros I have encounted.
