For producing the plain text version. Basically, we make two HTML versions,
one that includes images (and uses the <phrase> as the alt attribute) and
one that doesn't use images, and uses ASCII art instead.
When you get the docproj stuff installed, try doing
cd doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/articles/vm-design/
make article.html
make article.txt
Then look at article.html, and admire the pretty pictures.
Then look at article.txt, and marvel at the ASCII art.
