Is this for the LDP's wiki-like thing? I saw a note about it. I'll have
a play, but I think for this task I'm more comfortable maintain the
SGML with the logical markup (begin question... end question... begin
answer... end answer...) and converting it to layout-based markup like
HTML than the other way around. (I'm coming from a LaTeX background, I'm
used to working with document structure rather than layout :) )
