What's that in English, please?

HTML can be browsed on any size of screen, or on no screen at all.

What's more, it's a rather simple markup format - not hard to
re-purpose to other input formats.

If you want a proprietary format, feel free to go and make it, but I'm
not sure that exim really benefits from a proliferation of different
output formats. Perl documentation (to take an example that I happen
to have noticed) is awash with anomalies created by enthusiastic
conversion of different documentation formats into each other.

If there's a problem with
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.50/doc/html/spec.html
it's the fact that it launches into frames. I'm no friend of frames
(it makes difficulties with bookmarking and citing URLs), but the
material is there anyway. If any work is called for, then that's
where I'd like to see it invested.
