Michael Adams:
"Actually HTML is excellent for writers. Writing is about the content,
not the formatting or pretty setting out. In fact the only thing better
for writing than HTML is TXT!
------------------------------

plain text means that any structural elements other than linebreaks
are represented by the 'way it looks' ie: a return to the formatting
dilema. As someone who has tried to write a program that tries to
guess the structural semantics from plain text I can suggest that
either a decent full featured document format such as OpenDocument
(used properly with the appropriate styles) or even better a sparse
structural format such as DocBook XML or LaTek source is the format

HTML is an interchange format designed to be sloppy and imperfect so
as to reflect the tragedies of communicating accross the internet,
authoring or storing documents in it is IMHO asking for trouble.
