perhaps it is worth at least creating an option to enable this.
If you want html documentation in a graphical environment, which requires opening a browser, why not use the online documentation?
Failing that, have you tried `man -H git` (converts a manpage to HTML and opens it in $BROWSER) or one of the other graphical programs which can read any manpage, which are listed at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Man_page#Viewer_applications ?
GNOME Yelp or KDE's KHelpCenter are in fact likely on many users' machines already.
If this can satisfy your use case (and in a manner which is IMO superior to navigating to file:///usr/share/doc/git/ every time you wish to read a manual) then I don't see the utility in adding HTML to the package. :)
oh man -H thanks... I feel stupid.
thanks for the explanation. I am ashamed of this report. please close it.
