Regarding: Add a tool for converting HTML to 4gl
On SourceForge requested features list
It is a start. Not sure what they wanted, but this will do
that for
them.

FFW currently uses the e4gl-gen.p from POSSE. It's ugly but
it works. Could be cleaned up a bit though. Scott's code is
a good fresh start, but not totally WebSpeed compatible.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The original idea here is that if one is writing a
CGI-wrapper object, and needs to insert a snippet of HTML,
you could write the HTML in an editor, then copy and paste
it into a <textarea> in one of the webtools. Then click a
button and "presto-chango", it becomes 4gl "{&out}"
statements, with everything properly escaped.
I'm not sure whether this would need to support all of the
escapes and such that ESS does, such as <%, <!--wss, and all
that. Maybe just check for expressions in back-ticks.
Who wants to do this one?
