Are you saying that a TeX widget could be developed from the current
TeX source code? As I understand it, this would not be too easy, but
not _that_ hard either, as long one does not try to implement it as an
editable widget.

No. I'm saying that something can be ginned up to produce hypertext
documents from dvi files (with appropriate \special's). That would
keep the TeX/LaTeX community happy until something better could be
done.

Latex2html already has such a feature. see http://www.ELSEVIER.NL/WWW94/PrelimProcs.html

Might be best to get Nikos Drakos (nikos@cbl.leeds.ac.uk) into the loop.
