You don't :-(.

Well, not easily, anyway.  The next release of Texinfo will support HTML 
generation from a Texinfo source, so one alternative is to wait ;-).

Another alternative is to install Perl, get hold of the `texi2html' Perl 
script, and use that.  (That's how the HTML versions of GNU docs are 
generated on DJ's server and for the v2gnu/*d.zip files.)

Yet another way is to download the DJGPP FAQ sources (v2/faq211s.zip) 
and use the tools in there.  (That's how the HTML version of the FAQ is 
created.)

Both `texi2html' and the tools developed for the FAQ have advantages and
disadvantages.  The former is probably the better alternative, unless the 
Texinfo sources use macros or the @multitable directive (which `texi2html' 
doesn't support).
