Many of the problems people seem to be having with HTML are more a function of the limited functionality of the current viewers (and hardcopy options) than with HTML itself. Torgeir's next suggestion is by far the better solution: > If stylesheets where to become available in the future, I would like to see > that individual paragraph definitions could be specified somewhat in the same > way they are in FrameMakers MML. What is really needed is a good, flexible screen viewer and print output system that allows individual specification of the final formating of each HTML element at presentation time. That, after all, is what SGML is all about. Having brought this up, does anyone know of a nicely parameterized HTML-to- Postcript tool? -- Jack C.
