Paul Falstad's "An Introduction to the Z Shell" was apparently processed into HTML in '95 and is in the Intro sub-directory. But it appears to have been created using texi2html from a texinfo version that someone created by hand.

The source is Doc/intro.ms, which has to be run through troff or similar.Apparently there was a texinfo version at some point that was used to generate the HTML version. But it has apparently been lost in the void.Are you talking about Peter's user-friendly user guide. That is in the zsh-web git repository in Guide/zshguide.tar.gz. That contains Yodl source files dated 17 May 2014. The current web site probably gives it too much prominence given it is unmaintained. There have been one or two occasions where someone has posted corrections to it to the list and they've either been ignored or applied direct to the HTML. Paul Falstad's "An Introduction to the Z Shell" is Doc/intro.ms in original source form for troff. It's not a bad document and processing it to HTML could be worthwhile. Oliver
