[Github-comments] [geany] Detect docutils availability automatically during configure (#863)

[Colomban Wendling]

It was by design so that everyone get an HTML version of the manual.  It's only an error if the manual isn't yet available as HTML, and as the HTML is packed in the release tarball, it's optional for release tarballs.  It is, however, not optional by default on Git clones, as they don't have the HTML checked in.

Maybe it'd be okay not to have an HTML manual, but the help menu item tries to access it, so it would result in a diminished version of Geany, and that's why it is as it currently is (optional by default unless you don't have any HTML version already)
