Multimedia Documents under Unix

I am looking for a way to distribute hypertext documents between Unix
systems.  I would like to be able to retain the formatting in the
documents (e.g. typefaces, sizes, layout), and I would like to be able to
build hypertext links within the documents.

Options that I am aware of are:

FrameMaker: There is a Frame Reader, but there is a per copy licensing fee
for the reader which means that I would need to count and limit access to
the documents.  Aside from that drawback, Frame can handle graphics,
formatted text, etc., quite well.

Guide Reader: This hasn't shipped yet, and won't for another 6 months or
so.  Aside from that, it seems similar to Frame in capabilities.

Emacs: There is supposedly a set of macroes for emacs which allows one to
create hypertext links within documents.  There's no formatting to speak
of, but it's free and freely distributable.  If anyone can give me any
pointers here I would appreciate it.

Thanks!
