For example, a cross-platform Palm DOC->text converter is now written (not put in yet though). There will probably need to be some soft of plugin architecture for converters so that people don't need to be installed if not used. These are more longer term things though. > 2.

However, for Plucker it is a bit different than some others (say Palm DOC files), since the Plucker bookmarks are user bookmarks: they aren't stored in the output document .pdb, but in a separate meta database on the Palm, with other user settings for that document. One option you can use is an authoring system that can autogenerate links to headings (like LaTex etc,) so you could have an index page of links to headings. Or perhaps you may wish to modify your parser in a way that it generates a html file with an indexed list of hyperlink headings, and include that page in the output.
