Well, it suited my purposes and the platform that I use (which
is why I set about doing it), however, I'm more than willing to port the work
into whatever format suits the furtherance of ColdC best. :-)

It is -a- way to achive
this, but being tied to a single OS, very hard
to convert to anything else
(without major losses in markup) - in
particular very hard to convert to
CML - it's definitely not the
appropriate way. Docbook (SGML), LaTeX or
even texinfo are all
superior by the criteria above (both allow sections,
can be printed
and read offline, allow indexing and TOC... and are bloody
portable).
