Hi Jean-Michel,

all I want is to hack in the text and see the styles as expected. I
tried several tools, and found that OOo seemed to make the best for
wxhtmlhelp at first glance. Writing docs is really not the stuff I'm
particularly fond of, formatting even less, and formatting the
non-visible source is...
So if Dave and you agree on a tool to use, I don't mind (as long as it
is *not* vi). I just want to deliver content.

Regards,
Andreas
