Thank you very much, I thought I were looking in the wrong places and you
have explained better than any of my supposedly web developer friends.
Me thinks its a simple idea adding/changing/updating web content from a text
file using CSS to do the formatting. Create a standard display of readable
content, the lazy way of updating websites without the boring html and code
<tags>.
I know there is no simple solution, Markdown seems to be a step in the right
direction although I'm not sure about Perl.
Thx
