I'd consider all documentation menu systems "experimental" at this point, so I wouldn't worry about it yet. Just support a particular menu style if you feel like playing with it. FWIW, the menu system I'm working on was going to be SGML/DSSSL based, so Marco's .dhelp menu format is perfect for that. I'll be able to use the .dhelp format as input. Short term (in the next few days), I'm also going to enhance the dwww menu-package based menus. I'll see if I can write a .dhelp to "menu" converter. That way, package authors can write a single .dhelp file, and support all the menu-building packages (dhelp, menu, and dwww-next-generation). The next dwww should be ready by Sunday, at least. Cheers, - Jim
