BB>but _i_ have an answer -- i.e., a script like mine! Actually, I would respect BB's efforts if he would turn his scripts into a stand-alone tool that he would post on the web that volunteers could choose to download and use if they so choose, just like some volunteers might choose to use Sigil, or to use (god forbid) MS Word, or even (hypothetically) Adobe InDesign, and if BB's tools output standard conforming "txt70" and "html" just like the WW'ers expect the rest of us to make. Then we would have a true marketplace for ideas, and volunteers could simply pick the tool, for better or worse, which they personally believe (rightly or wrongly) works best *for them personally.* If a particular volunteer believes that ZML is the best format for their effort to write to -- then go for it -- because BB will provide you the tools you need to do the job in ZML! Mm, how about it BB? Where's the answer?
