I think there are two separate issues.
(1) Update the CSS to make the web page visually more pleasing.
(2) Change the input syntax for the *web page* to something more
common and more flexible than texinfo, e.g., markdown + templates.
Both are reasonable IMHO, especially (1). The question is whether and
how much of (2) we want.
John, can you set up
http://jmroper.com/lilypond/
with `blended' together with a README so that we can inspect the
source code, CSS, etc., and the necessary steps to create it? I think
only a direct comparison can answer our questions.
