Hi, Jim,
That sounds like an awesome document. With the html version though,
why not present it in lists instead of tables. It's faster to
navigate that way as you can just hit i and go down each list item.
Each list could be separated by headings. Here's a list of some
things I use in EdSharp to make my life easier when writing html docs.
I use single chars and then search and replace them when I've done
with the document as a quick way to write:
For the start and stop h1 tags: use { as start and } is finish in EdSharp
For the ul start and stop tag, use [ and ] respectively
For li, use # and %
For paragraph, use & and *
Then, after you've written everything, just control replace everything
with the propper tags and, voi la! you have a web page.
That, or install yourself a copy of KompoZer, a wysiwyg html editor
that is decently accessible and just select blocks of text and apply
list formatting from the menu bar as you would in word or something.
Just a thought,
Alex M
