Ah! See? I told you so. BTW, the sample I sent you is XHTML. Though
it's an older 1.0 Transitional format. A rewrite would have to be done
in XHTML 1.0 Strict, at a minimum, with a preference for XHTML 1.1.

I wholeheartedly agree that there must be strict adherence to
conventions but I wouldn't agree that the current conventions are
suitable for a revamp.

Yes, but what about me? There's a whole lot more work for me.

Well, look on the plus side. If I write the pages in standards
complaint XHTML then you will be able to treat the help text as if it
were XML and I will be able to treat it as if it were a web page.

Win-win.

Like I said, keep the wiki. If the help text is written in XHTML then
you can write a simple converter.

Another win.
