For a novel, you may be right, but for complex texts, like most teaching materials require something more than that: illustrations, tables, maybe formulas, etc. HTML is really the bottom line here. Also, since it is normally easier to throw something away than to add, I prefer to go to XML first, and then create HTML and Text from that. Jeroen.
