Why not?

I think it would be easier for the users to find the manual if it were included in the main package, wouldn't it?

It seems to me that the Emacs package already contains the source code of the various help files and I don't think the Emacs developers intend to add other packages.
I just want the "Emacs Manual in ePub Format" package to be hosted on Savannah. Is this possible or are there difficulties?

There would be no problem inserting the package into Emacs 27. If desired, I could also prepare the ePub for the elisp ref. To do this I need the texi sources.

Registration Details


  • Name: Emacs Manual in ePub format
  • System Name:  emacs-epub
  • Type: non-GNU software and documentation
  • License: GNU Free Documentation License





Description:

It is the Emacs manual (17th ed. Emacs 26.3) in ePub 2.0 format. It is useful for storing and consulting the manual on the phone, tablet or ereader. It is not a simple automatic conversion from texi to epub but a craft work of organizing and adapting the files, rewriting the formatting and adding a cover with a "fascinating" flavor.


Other Software Required:

The cover image is taken from Internet, it's one of the free images from the Canva's (www.canva.com) archive.
