The easy way to maintain a parallel HTML version of your document is to
rely on the folks at Ohio State. They produce an HTML version of every
FAQ posted, automatically. The quality of the result varies, depending
on how much you're willing to conform to the formats they understand.

For some examples of their automatically processed FAQ's, use the
following URL:

http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/dec-faq/top.html

(and I wish that WWW systems were smart enough to avoid the need for
that final /top.html; gopher systems can automatically look for an index
in the final directory, and serve you with a hypertext version of that,
so why not WWW?)

Anyway, if you conform to USENET digest format, they'll break your FAQ
into sections and give you an index of the sections, and you can embed
URL's in the faq (in the format I just used above), and their system
will find them and make them hotlinks to whatever they reference. It's
halfway there, at least.
