I hope y'all will forgive the shameless plug, but if you're doing
docs in HTML, or if you're curious about it and want to know how, I've
written a book about it that is about to hit the stores. The book
covers not just the technical side of writing HTML documents, but also
provides hints on organization and design, and includes dozens of real
examples.
Email me (lemay -at- netcom -dot- com) for more info; I'm wandering
dangerously into advertising and I don't want to upset anyone on
this list.
