The problem is not that its an XML file format... the problem is that in
order to use it, I have to install and use a not-insignificant application
that I have no interest in using (though I'm sure its a great app).
So, that's why I suggest HTML. If formatting is essential, doesn't
OpenOffice have a WYSIWYG editor like FrontPage or something?
The current version of FrontPage is actually pretty good... not a lot of
garbage... surely OpenOffice has something like that?
