Indeeed, handling CSS would be a lot of additional work. Does HTML itself have any extensibility, any way to define (in effect) macros, so that `...' could translate into `*...*'? Also, > emacs' Info machinery would need some work to adapt it for HTML. If that approach is basically workable, I am sure we could do this programming job. What I can't tell is whether that approach is workable at all. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
