Hi Shaun, Well, as for myself I prefer html manuals for the simple fact they are cross-platform and can be read by any html web browser. That's why the manual for Mysteries of the Ancients is written in html. That said, my favorit for mat is xml docbook simply because xml was designed from the beginning to be a highly advanced markup language for documents like books, manuals, help files, etc that can produce formatted text as good as if not better than that of word processors like MS Word.
For those of you who don't know on Linux the Gnome help system is simply a docbook viewer, and the help files themselves are xml docbook files heavily tagged and linked. I personally find them superior to the chm format used by Windows, and since xml is similar to html everything is nicely formatted, linked, and browsing the Gnome help system is like browsing the web. Cheers!
