"makeinfo --html --no-split --no-headers" is a little more appropriate.
(The node headers are a relic from terminal based 'info' and are useless
clutter when I'm viewing the document in a browser that has a scrollbar.)

But then there are still three points where texi2html's output is prettier
(when viewed in konqueror 3.1.0):

1) Block indentation is wrong by one space in the first line of the block.
(You might say that it's a konqueror problem, but it's a widely deployed
one, and I expect some interoperability between GNU programs and standard
browsers.)

2) Closing quotes are presented through an apostrophe, which according to
ISO-8859 and Unicode standards is a vertical apostrophe. texi2html does it
better: it uses an acute accent instead. (Remember that the acute accent
is the mirror symbol of the grave accent U+0060.)

3) Extra vertical white space when a section begins with an @example.

Find attached the unaesthetic makeinfo-4.8 output.
