That was basically my argument -- don't play with the standards. The  
wikitext files generate standard, clean, HTML 3.2 or 4.0 when you  
export back to HTML. I'm telling my students who will do the editing  
to alter nothing -- absolutely nothing -- unless there is a link name  
or other issue what causes wiki problems. (For example: no special  
characters or spaces can be used in most wiki systems so we are using  
underscores.)

Once the wiki is done, it can become the central repository for  
updates and for exporting the Apple Help HTML. I'll do all everything  
I can to make the process painless once the site is established.

The HTML didn't use headings, which is one step we are taking. Sub- 
topics, such as "Description" within a keyword, are being converted to  
low-level headings for indexing purposes (H3, H4, etc.). We're testing  
the results on both Wikibooks and on the Apple Help system.

Everything will be done by the end of this 15-week semester, I'm  
hoping! Updated all the way around, as wiki, HTML, and PDF.
