So, whereas before, you had to have the standard TXT or HTML versions because that was all that was available, now we can actually talk about making customised versions as people want them.
so every time a person wants to switch an option, they have to go and do the conversion over again?
do you really not see why that won't appeal to them?
As opposed to not having an option at all, like we have now? So, they can either have exactly what they have now... or if the want to, they can have more with a little extra effort. You're right, we shouldn't give them anything new. Oh, and don't tell me the reader program should do it. The reader program will never be the same for every reader, even if you do actually produce a working program. The only way to provide this information that is platform/reader program independent is to somehow put that into the source in a standard format that multiple reader programs will support. So far, XML is the *only* format anyone has suggested that will allow that. Josh
