I agree. What you could do pretty easily is get the LaTeX part working,
and you could get nice printout, PS, and PDF from that. The HTML would
probably have to be generated on a Unix box, but that is handled by Fred
Drake anyway.

(wouldn't a LaTeX to html built with Python be a great thing!)

Keep your contributions coming!!
