That looks pretty nice. Now that i know that PLaneT accepts HTML docs,
i'm more inclined to use tex2page, though---just because i'm a long
time TeX user and emacs provides excellent support for TeX editing.
But maybe the creation of indexes for HelpDesk will turn me back to
doc.txt. If you have the time, i think posting or packaging your
script is a great idea: i'm sure it'll be useful to many people here.

Thanks,
jao
