GAPDoc 1.6.3 added a "nopdf" option to MakeGAPDocDoc, which allows building only the HTML and text version of a manual, without the PDF. Since compiling the PDFs tends to be by far the slowest part, it would be very desirable to have a way to build the GAP manuals without the PDFs. E.g. when editing the manuals, it's usually necessary to rebuild them several times, which easily takes several minutes for each run.

My suggestion would be to add a new target to the Makefile.rules which does that. It could be make html or make doc-html or whatever.
