After I did some hand merging of changes I made that were already in the 
Subversion repository, but not in the patch you sent me, I committed the 
FAQ patch.

I built the HTML help based on the jazz.tex patch, but noticed that 
Tex2RTF was using the wrong HTML tag for underlined text.  Tex2RTF 
inserted <UL></UL>, but this is used for indentation, not underlining.

I generated and committed new Tex2RTF Visual Studio projects and 
solutions for Visual Studio .NET 2005 and 2008.  When building Tex2RTF I 
noticed I didn't have wxUSE_STL set for the Visual Studio wxWidgets 
build, so I changed that along with the wxWidgets build instructions for 
wxWidgets on the web site.

Next I went looking for the proper HTML tag for underlining.  The 
deprecated version is <U></U>.  The modern replacement is <span 
style="text-decoration:underline;"></span>, so I put this in then 
Tex2RTF source.  Unfortunately, the wxWidgets HTML help controller 
doesn't understand this tag.  I may have to fall back to <U></U>.

I am looking at your patch, but this has caused a tangent development 
spiral.
