True, and I could do this from my editor if we had HTML files! :-)

As impressive as it would be to have an editor of that magnitude created
solely for my personal use, I must report that others use it as well. ;-)
I would not support it as the *default* format by any means either!
What I would like is to have that format added once all the universal ones
(PDF, HTML) have been created, or at least make the docs available in a
format that is amenable to conversion to that editor's format as well as
any others. I think we all agree that PDF is not the "source" format we
need to make these things possible.
