: The Linux documentation project has produced some tool that allow one to
: annotate documents in something like SGML, and then convert that to
: plain text, or html, or other formats.
Perl5.0 contains an app called pod2html. It converts a simplified
mark-up language into HTML. (A Pythoner who objects to using Perl 5
could probably re-write it pretty easily; it's about 200 lines of
Perl 5 code.) I use lynx and that makes reading docs pretty easy, but
I wish I had better search facilities. (grepping files seems crude
somehow.)
