Yes, yes, yes, please. Python? Omigoddess! There is a www.el or maybe html.el for emacs: perhaps if someone did a little LISPing around... The only problem is the HTML DTD. An amended version was posted today to SGML-L, but I still have problems with the sturcture, which seems to have some weird concepts (eg <p> is defined EMPTY, because it's only use to _separate_ paragraphs, not to enclose them) which take it a bit off-track, IMHO. I wanted to get Author/Editor to use the HTML DTD so I could use a decent editor to prepare stuff, _and_ be able to convert it to TeXinfo, but I am still very unhappy with this DTD. ///Peter
