I am sorry Martin, but I don't understand. ALLPROSE does what
already? The problem referred to above is related to generating
HTML from Axiom pamphlet source that can be used on the Axiom
Wiki. Does Ralf have a version of ALLPROSE that can do that?
If so, could you add some example pages to wiki?

:) I have read the ALLPROSE documentation but it is not at
all clear to me how this could be done. Perhaps you can
elaborate on this idea? I think that in a open source project
saying "that it shouldn't be too difficult" can only be
interpreted as a "taunt" (i.e. trying to force someone to do
something) or a promise to actually do something yourself. :)
