and makes it darn near impossible to print one page or function
if that's all that someone is interested in.

I'd prefer to leave the html output in separate files and use
pdf or ps output for printing entire files.  But that's just my take on it.

What is <\p> supposed to do?

Here's what I see in index.html (beginning lines of it):

Linux Kernel HTML Documentation
Kernel Version: 2.6.22-rc3

deviceiobookBus-Independent Device Accesses <\p>

filesystemsLinux Filesystems API <\p>

gadgetUSB Gadget API for Linux <\p>

genericirqLinux generic IRQ handling <\p>

kernel-apiThe Linux Kernel API <\p>

kernel-hackingUnreliable Guide To Hacking The Linux Kernel <\p>

kernel-lockingUnreliable Guide To Locking <\p>

so it looks like it could use a space after the short name/before
the long name/title, and fix the <\p>.
