My point was to DESIGN for html and the rich environment it offers, not to try to convert a Model T into a Mercedes.
I'm not wild about a wiki either, if its a free for all. If on the other hand, it is a submission platform that gets reviewed and edited by the developers then it's possibly of benefit, especially for examples. The best technical document I ever encountered was the DOS C compiler from Microsoft over 20 years ago. At about 1.5" thick, the book that came with it was excellent. I kept the book long after I ditched the compiler. Every item listed in the index had sample code associated with it that not only showed how to use the item, but also provided examples for the boundary conditions that reinforced what the documentation said. Absolutely excellent documentation. It used the K&R style but applied it to the entire subroutine library.
