Yes, id did a straightforward concatenation; and it's really not a
problem: it comes to a 15 MB file (12 MB when skipping the release
pages). Either size (in standard firefox) takes some time (seconds) but
scrolling and searching is no problem.
Maybe I wasn't clear: I wouldn't argue to make single-file the default
output, of course; just an option to choose if it's at all possible.
And even if such an option isn't deemed feasible I was hoping that
someone more xslt-knowledgeable than I am has some hints on how to
produce a single html file in the correct order and with link correctly
(self-)referencing.
I might figure it out myself - in that case will post here.
thanks,
