	Not to my knowledge.. and some of the documentation is getting
outdated.

	This would be a good goal for the near future.  

	Maybe start with one of the C/C++ documentation generation
tools like Doxygen or DOC++?

	For now the best way to learn how the code executes is to use
XXGDB or DDD (visual debuggers) and spend some time following the
execution path.  There are some definite subtle things going on in htword
& htcommon.

A technical high level overview article would probably be eligible for
publishing in "Linux Journal" or "Dr Dobb's Journal".
