The web site contains a reference to the artifact I made of combining all the pages of documentation into one file.... This issue is to leave automating the conversion and assembly of the PDF files. see comment in https://gethub.com/Interlisp/Interlisp.github.io/pulls/195 see

https://github.com/Interlisp/Interlisp.github.io/documentation/All-*-PDFs.pdf which has a link from medley web site repo /content/en/sotware/using-medley/_index.md

There is no automation to build those linked PDFs. It isn't too hard, but combining the files into one required Adobe Acrobat feature to get a file that was small enough to meet GitHub size limit before incurring LFE extension.

It would be good to just qualify (periodically updated)

Generating the PDFs of all the the repo's TEDit files requires HCFILES from MEDLEY-UTILS which @rmkaplan is updating, as well as the TEdit round 4 which hasn't been merged yet.

This isn't quite complete.

the process isn't automated

[ ] naming the branch after the release and then
[ ] renaming vs changing the pages deployment?

The index files could be more useful

[ ] more like CHM PARC files filename (raw)
[ ] additional metadata (size and date)

there are some errors and calls to help running HCFILES

[ ] Display fonts, press or interpress but no postscript
[ ] 2 calls to help, one GETFN
[ ] package problems (esp CLTL2 folder)

INCOMPLETE

[ ] notecards
[ ] loops
[ ] test
[ ] envos
[ ] chm-parc

additional integrations

[ ] file system with wget in shell
[ ] via XNS to dodo
[ ] web site: style

PDF of combinations of file sets

[ ] lispcourse
[ ] lafite, tedit guides
[ ] lispusers
[ ] library
[ ] irm
[ ] primer
