CL Hyperspec in Emacs Info format

Sunday, April 11, 2004

I had previously mentioned how it is possible to get a copy of the CL Hyperspec in info format for use in Emacs. This is the format that I prefer to use rather than the more commonly used html version. One problem with using this version of the hyperspec is that it doesn't include the texi sources. Therefore, if you want to make any changes to it (provide additional links, supplemental information, etc), you are out of luck. However, Jesper Harder has now made available a utility (dpans2texi.el) that will convert the TeX sources of the draft ANSI Lisp standard to Texinfo format. This will allow people to more easily make their own custom Info (or HTML) versions of the CL Hyperspec.
