HTML completely fell out of favor as a document format and is seen by too many as suitable only for structured web pages. It's possibly the best, most flexible, most widely accessible document format there is, with the caveat that there's absolutely no way to rights-protect it. As a companion to PDF — which has other, complementary strengths — HTML/CSS needs to be restored as a general long-form document format. Without, /*ahem* /the many strictures and stumbling blocks of its implementation within EPUB — mostly the disastrous and crippling lack of standardization in readers. HTML finally grew out of its "No, do it /my /way!" adolescence, and unless/until EPUB does the same, it will never be a truly competitive doc format. / —James Gifford / -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *NitroPress Communications* A Component of Nitrosyncretic LLC SW Aurora, Colorado 80013 USA +1 (303) 981-7115 m www.NitroPress.net
