Some systems offer both html and pdf e.g. Vfx. There I go for the pdf
as it has a word index. There seem to be other differences e.g. f/p >suggesting they're maintained separately. In DX-Forth I just use a
text file doc. I considered providing html but as CP/M and DOS versions
are somewhat different, I figured it would become too much work.
Is there a PDF of the Gforth manual available?
https://gforth.org/manual/ has been down for a while

In ciforth I generate a separate html, as a quick reference, with
elaborate see also sections that you can click through. It starts with
an alphabetic glossary index.
Checking my glossary file I should be able to do something similar.
Key is identifying each entry (word). As these uniquely begin with a single >space there should be no false hits. From there it will be easy to bookmark >and generate an index. It seems I've found myself a new forth project :)
Gforth is using texinfo, so you can generate pdf, info and ps.
(like ciforth).
Gforth offers Info, HTML, PDF, Postscript, and plain text.

I've been using a package manager to grab Gforth and should have known
to check the tarball.
I don't see a PDF in the ./doc folder, but I can make it from the
PostScript file.
I could have also installed the gforth-pdf package which I was
previously unaware of:
$ sudo apt install gforth-pdf

the Makefile to include the .pdf rather than the .ps files in the

$ sudo apt install gforth-pdf
I am also unaware of that package. Where does it come from?

I was able to make the pdf in the source directory using tex, texinfo,
etc. The pdf is about 2.1MB. I could email it to you, or post it
online temporarily. This is for the current 0.7.9 snapshot, assuming
that's what you want.
I emailed you the pdf.
