Thanks for the reply, though I guess I should have pointed out that this is
end-user documentation (of the About > Help type). It'll probably consist of a
user's guide, a couple tutorials, and a reference guide.
So far, HTML seems the best option, since it can then be turned into other
formats (.chm, .pdf, etc.)
