That's ages ago ;-) Yep. But 4.0 is still the latest released version. :( > Anyway, there are versions of Texinfo on alpha.gnu.org which support > split by node.

(Did someone see what do @ifnothtml > and @ifnottex do in texi2html?) Oh, texi2html is a total mess. Code to handle -glossary is actually present in the code, but I couldn't follow the logic far enough to see why it didn't work. I'd much rather use makeinfo, if it behaves acceptably. If you know the folks maintaining texinfo, is there any chance you could prompt them to look over the patch I sent them last week?
