I know that one firm in Italy finally decided to whip up an Interleaf to
HTML filter, so at least someone is seeing the light. We use Interleaf
here (on a limited basis, but Pratt and Whitney uses it exclusively), and
they'd kill for an ILeaf to HTML...unfortunately, this Italian company sold
the filter to Interleaf and they want sumthin like 15 grand for it! I
think there may be a big business for the first person to create an RTF to
HTML, so that people don't need to learn Emacs, vi, or LaTex.

Sigh. At least I have a Mac Hypercard HTML editor too bad its horrible.
