Generating html documentation with hlink to jump easily

[epanda]

Hi,

I know the html converter into Gvim but I would like to convert my
plugin help documentation into html that can take care about hlink.

Thank you

nb : maybe latex can help me?

Ages ago, I patched a perl script that runs the HTML converter in vim, and then add all the hyperlinks that make sense (plus a few other things).
I haven't run it for a long time, so I don't know how it will do with vim latest versions.

HTH,

I don't believe I've seen yours before, Luc. This is the one I
remember reading about:

Either of these look pretty interesting. I may need to see what they
can do.

Both you and Peter Odding should be sure to take a look at the options
described in :help :TOhtml if you haven't already, to see how they
interact with your scripts.

Some recent changes of note that I could envision affecting things
are:

1. Now defaults to using CSS rather than <font>, etc.
2. When the current buffer has 'diff' set, will default to creating a
side-by-side diff view instead of the usual single-buffer view.
3. Now supports the conceal feature, so if you're depending on the
concealed tokens for any of your hyperlink or keyword detection (e.g.
in :help documents), it could cause problems.

There may be others as well, or features you may want to turn off for
efficiency such as the progress bar.
