I'm considering moving vile.hlp to html (and generating the vile.hlp
file used within the editor from that).  Here's a very first try at
converting it (no hyperlinks yet):

good idea.

clearly the html version needs a table of contents.  i think it would
be good for the text version too, since at least one could search for
the strings one finds there.

agreed.  Though (looking for feedback), it seems that if the contents is
at the beginning, it can take a lot of space and make it hard to start,
though on the other hand if it's at the end, it's less accessible).

If it's HTML you can surely have a link to the contents at the top of
the file.  For the text version maybe there's an introduction before
the contents.

yes... I was thinking that the content would be identical (though a head/foot can be added/replaced in the text version). To get the current header, looks like a script's needed since none of the browser dumps seem to supply the title line.
