Hi Denis,
all is in the title : running `texdoc l2tabu-fr`:
- opens .../l2tabu-french/README
- instead of .../l2tabu-french/l2tabufr.pdf
As I understand it, it happens because the README has a details= string
(content is irrelevant) and l2tabufr.pdf does not. (If I edit my
texlive.tlpdb to remove the details= string, it finds the pdf first.)
This is a bug in the l2tabu-french catalogue entry, which I can fix.
I think texdoc could ignore details= strings on README documents. They
are self-explanatory.
Also, the string here is "The document iself", which to my mind adds
nothing, but the verbiage is nevertheless useful in the presentation at,
e.g., http://ctan.org/pkg/voss-mathmode. Thus I think texdoc could also
ignore that particular string for priority purposes.
However, texdoc has not been updated since 2011. I believe Manuel is
busy with other projects. Would you like to work on it, Denis?
