This is on my TODO list! I should perhaps actually create one!

Quite straightforward. I think I will hack the code today so it
defaults to one-per-html-page. What I'll then do is to elaborate the
options as:
- mark up once per document
- mark up once per 'screen' - I'll have to guess this because
formatting, etc is variable
- mark up every one.
I will then add a form so that the author can select which one.
I also intend to provide a simple hack that 'translates' ASCII text
into kludged HTML. IF ANYONE KNOWS OF ONE ALREADY - UNIX-BASED AND PD -
PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Otherwise I'll hack something that guesses paragraphs.
I'm also wondering whether there is a chance of providing a communal
editor via forms - I have some ideas.
P.
The only problem is finding time and the problem of editing files at BBK
where the line transmission sometimes garbles things.
Please keep posting these ideas!
