Well, HTML and txt contain continuous text, while PDF contains pages.
But, the documentation in Allegro is in the ._tx format anyway. All the
others HTML/PDF/... are generated out of it. So, there won't be any
additional bloat - we just provide a premade PDF version on the website
as a service to users who prefer PDF and don't have the tools necessary
to create it out of the ._tx themselves. The Allegro distribution itself
isn't affected by this.
