Well, it's not too hard: http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/sttp/ just 400 lines of javascript and 100 lines of css, plus your human-readable text. Have fun, it would be great if you could report how it works on fancy devices (iphone, ipad, androids...) as my testing platforms are limited to Firefox, IE and chrome (which unfortunately cannot save the edited file) cheers luigi
