Re: LDP Manifesto Draft-4
I feel plain text or HTML as a standard....all others are lovely for
specific systems and should be able to be created from these formats
at least with plain text there is a gaurantee that all systems will be able
to use it......if HTML it should be basic HTML....like
HTML code here
under this line plain text only and NO HTML tags etc
==============
Document plain text here, including all seperators
===========
HTML code here
