Sort of... I was smilling because I consider HTML a great way to produce
formatted text++ output, not easily editable, though. Seems now I'll have to
prove that in practice :)

Hmmm... I'll have to do some googling on that, first time I hear it.

I'm not that kind of person :) I use (and have been using, for a couple of
decades now) computers because I like computers, not because I want to make
my life difficult! Besides, automatic creation of TOCs may be a useful
feature, but only, in my humble opinion, for texts of 100 pages plus.
Otherwise, for a not-so-long-a-text of a reasonable amount of sections,
well, I myself can do table of contents automatically, too :) :)))))

I totally agree with that! And because I consider content a valuable thing,
is why I want to use cvs, cvsnt, etc.


Thanx for your reply
