We'll see. I haven't heard much about setext lately. But I use it myself, mostly because I **hate** writing HTML directly. As far as I know, I have the sole copy of the latest version of the perl setext-to-HTML converter. I updated Tony Sanders' version, and then asked Ian Feldman (the creator of setext) to comment. All I've heard from him is "There are problems with it; please don't distribute it." I have yet to find out what those problems are. Since then, I've rewritten the script a few times, and I've also ping'd Ian a couple of times. I've also written a setext-to-LaTeX converter; I currently plan to merge these back together so that most of the code need not know about the target format. If anyone wants a peek at what I have, let me know. But I will ask that you not pass it on until I merge the two scripts. --Paul
