It looks great!

I haven't inspected how you did it but I guess it shouldn't be hard to apply it to other GNU manuals also, as all are very similar in the sense that they all are produced using the same tools.

Another idea: local search function similar to Sphinx's would be really nice.

Thats a great idea! This project was somewhat of a proof of concept. Maybe I will refine and apply it to other manual. Thanks!

PS: I couldn't find the local search function that you mentioned. Can you put a link so that I can see how it works?

Sure. Python documentation in https://docs.python.org/3/archives/python-3.4.3-docs-html.zi... is a good example. You can extract it anywhere and search just works without needing any server side components.
