Hello,
i want to make a docu for printing, just for private use, so i need to make
ONE huge html-file.
I saw, that there are some "headers" about a make-tool that did the
conversion to html.
So i think that there is a document that is converted to this pages by a
tool called "makedocs.pl". So there could be an easy way to make a
one-sided docu in html??

  Please wait for POV-Ray 3.51.
  As far as I know, a deeply-reworked version for printing is being developed,
so you should be patient.

Well, this period is some months old now, afaik end not in sight. Though i
just need a PRINTED docu for myself for studying complexer things, i don't
need "reworked" better doku, because this one is by far good enough for me.

I just need it now, not in some months. As far as i am the person, that does
the job, i don't understand what's so difficult to give me the complete
(old) docu-source....

It's not difficult to give you the source, it's just that you can't use 
it. It's not HTML. 

But if you are desperate, what you can do is download the UNIX version. It 
comes with the complete documentation in HTML files. With a tool like 
HTMLDOC you can turn that into a, rather crude, PDF file.

Ok, what is it? I am able to do tex, html, diverse Office...

Yes, i did, and saw that it is generated with a perl script, so i thought
that there must be a whole docu that was converted...

HTML with "extensions".  You cannot print meaningful docs from those files,
and makedocs.pl isn't going to be available.  The master docs aren't one
file, they are many.  And it will be many more files the docs are based on
in 3.5.1 as lots of things have changed.

Sadly the delay of 3.5.1 has not been under full control of the POV-Team.
However, 3.5.1 is closer than it ever was before, just enjoy the sun for the
next few days.

  This is a statement which is implicitly always true, no matter when
it is posted and when the actual release is. Kind of diplomatic. ;)

No. This statement fails immediately after release. ;-)

Not if you use signed math...   ;)
