This requires issue #571 to be completed first.\r\n\r\nWe currently generate docs files that need to be processed by an external tool to get nice features like side bars. We are planning to add support for other such tools soon. However, it would also be good to be able to output raw, simple html files, for people who don't want / can't setup external tools.\r\n\r\nThese files would be similar in format to the current docs post processing, but simpler. For example there wouldn't be a side bar, so we'd probably want an index page instead, and a link to the index page at the top of the other pages, etc.\r\n\r\nThe exact format to use is very much up to whoever develops this. Things you have to take out to make it work are OK and things you can add to make it better are OK.\r\n\r\nThe key requirements are:\r\n\r\n1. It should convey the documentation provided in the source code.\r\n1. It should only use very basic html so that it works on all browsers and OSes, without Flash, JavaScript, etc.\r\n"}}
