Thanks for the reference, I've been meaning to write a few myself when
bored. => (that's your cue to flee in terror) I generally suggest the
HTML version because of the hyperlinks.
Also a small webserver such as boa and dwww is a good idea. Fastest way to
get a uniform document format there is IMO, even if HTML is kinda a lowest
common denominator.
