The downside of putting everything in an HTML file is that, like a garden,
every so often you have to go through an area and tidy it up.

The upside is that I can put things in categories and even cross-reference
categories. And I can use text related tools like grep.

To make HTML checking easy, I put a hyperlink to
http://validator.w3.org/nu/#file at the bottom of my HTML pages. Keeps my
HTML clean.

For backups I use "tar" and for digging around for downloaded stuff in a
directory tree I use the "find" command.

HTH,


Ian
