I agree completely with Johan; despite the conveniences of HTML, we don't find it adequate to our needs. Apart from getting marginally attractive large characters on a projection screen, which can usually be achieved with some degree of effort on any computer platform, we also want the *printed notes* to look as good as possible, and HTML is just too simplistic to handle all the typeface/font changes and layout elements we like to use.
It's also nice to be able to be able to do "conditional inclusions" of sub-documents (for different versions), to manage styles conveniently, and have proofreader revisions show up in a different color, etc. And of course we like to automatically generate indices, cross-references and tables of contents too. So we use (brace yourselves) MS-Word, having standardized on it in the late 80s, when UNIX-based solutions were limited to troff (which we still use to print Lab Exercises). Then we render it in PDF for projection, which is a great tool that produces beautiful output from impressively tiny files. I personally view HTML-based approaches as a reasonable time-saver for conference presentations, but for corporate classes, where the extra development effort can be amortized over years rather than hours, that's the best way to go. -Tim *=========================================================================* | Dr. Tim Maher, CEO, Consultix (206) 781-UNIX/8649; ask for FAX# | | EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WEB: http://www.consultix-inc.com | | /etc/cotd: find /earth -follow -name bin_laden -print | xargs rm -rf | *=========================================================================*
