That's right. That's why I deprecated it. It's not "mine", of course, 
but I routinely get asked by clients who send me this stuff to "make it 
work"; by which they mean "index it as a play title and make it a link 
to a suitable web page"

Seriously, there are people out there just like the elderly professor 
who made important phrases in his paper blue and underlined, in the 
belief that this would automagically make them links.

Yes, I have a couple of them using DocUtils. It's good, but probably not 
as an archive format, as there's no guarantee that it won't get changed 
at some stage. And there are even a couple of twin-pane editors, but no 
synchronous typographic editor that I have seen (if you know of one I'd 
be very interested).
