HTML-Export is a utility inspired by the AC#10 Suggestive Remarks 
column which proposed an HTML to ASCII converter capable of 
working as a CAB module.

Because Mark had already programmed GEMTrade to handle HTML tags 
intelligently and run as a CAB module it was possible to shuffle 
some code around and spin off the basic HTML to ASCII conversion 
engine. Development leading up to this first public release 
involved recoding in ObjectGEM and improving format and special 
character handling - and these improvements will feed back into 
GEMTrade development.

Although designed as a CAB module HTML-Export also runs as a stand 
alone application - simply run it from the desktop and select a 
HTML format file using the file selector or Drag&Drop a file onto 
its icon. The file is converted to ASCII and saved in the same 
path as the source file with the same filename but with a TXT file 
extender.

If there's enough feedback and interest, Mark may expand 
HTML-Export to export files in UDO format which, via UDO, could 
then be converted to any UDO supported syntax, including ST-Guide, 
which opens up the possibility of creating online help from web 
pages - now that could be useful.
