Erik told me a few weeks ago that he is planning to update the package.
Unfortunately I haven't heard from him in a while, so I assume he is away on
a trip or something (ICFP?).
Meanwhile I took his old version, updated it to H98, fixed some bugs, added
a few things to it myself ("ugly-printing", since the Pretty module is
unbearably slow under Hugs; support for preformatted text; support for
"unclosed" tags like HRULE), plus I folded in a little snippet of Jan's code
for escaping HTML characters. (In other words, I have mostly duplicated
Jan's work. ;) I kept Erik's file structure, though.
I will send it to anyone who's interested, pending Erik's re-release.
