>>Everyone has facilities to read plain text and html.

BTW... if you write the docs, I can do the html. I know people always 
say "it's not big deal because html is so basic". But I took a course on 
it and there *are* hints that make a page load faster (and other 
important things). There are tecniques that most people don't know about 
and aren't obvious or "common sense". I created a web page of my 
sister's wedding and (one) of the comments I got (a lot) was "the thing 
loads so fast".

I'm not familiar with the O'Reilly book that Dave mentioned, but I was 
so impressed with "HTML For The World Wide Web" (Elizabeth Castro) that 
I showed it to a couple of the students in the Web Site Management class 
and they ditched the book the instructors gave us. It is the best manual 
in *any* topic I've ever had. It is truely a "reference manual" in the 
actual spirit of the idea of a reference manual. Once you read it, you 
can *actually* go to the page on a particual part and never have to 
cross reference another page.

BTW... It's a book on HTML 4.0. There's probly many more advanced 
meathods of creating a page now. But I prefer HTML 4.0 because it's 
basic and all browers understand it. Some browers are old or just 
haven't caught up with the newer meathods.
