Not sure if OP really wanted to do this, but such alternatives have always existed. Look at gopher for example. I would export 9p filetrees and mount them in acme. You can use text files and plumbing if you want hyperlinks. I very much enjoy reading 9fans that way. But I admit this not being beauty typesetting. > browsers like Mozilla Firefox have terrible default typographic style > and using text-mode browsers like links often seems to be only solution > when reading longer texts. I don't really get this: Where can we find real typographic style in links? Perhaps we need a combination of Troff's beauty and web browser's dynamics.
