No.  I use texi2html, which does work under windows.  It's quite adequate
for me to check that the section of the docs compiles with my changes, 
and to give me an idea of the effect of any formatting.  It's the way I've
done all my doc work, which amounts to getting on for half the NR
and rather more than half the LM.

AFAIK html doesn't have the concept of linewidth.
