Till we end up with a WYSIWYG tool which we can use :
sgml, HTML, and of course typical documents that a user may use.

Not a problem they use kaffe and it compiles right up on FreeBSD .
Besides kaffe was developed on a FreeBSD box.

Worth investigating bear in mind that Lesstif has been developed for 
a while ....

I guess James Clark is the top gun in the sgml word. I compiled
jade over here with no problem and yet I have to go over the
distribution to see if I can interface it to doc, thot, whatever
visual tool.

thats the beauty there is lots of stuff so I think that we are not
that far off from getting whatever editor we want .

So lets build a web page with related links .
