Oh, this patch set grew quite quickly. ;-)

[PATCH v2 1/8] meson: rename html_help target to htmlhelp

This is obvious.

[PATCH v2 5/8] docs: html: copy images to output as part of xslt build

Making the XSLT stylesheets do the copying has some appeal. I think it
would only work for SVG (or other XML) files, which I guess is okay, but
maybe the templates should have a filter on format="SVG" or something.
Also, this copying actually modifies the files in some XML-equivalent
way. Also okay, I think, but worth noting.

Note sure why you removed this comment

-<!-- strip directory name from image filerefs -->

since the code still exists.

[PATCH v2 6/8] wip: docs: copy or inline css

This seems pretty complicated compared to just copying a file?
