[CLUE-Tech] many choices

[Match Grun]

Roger,

The best solution would probably be XML. Remember
that XML is not a replacement for HTML. It is a
self-describing, data transportation language.

You can create an XSL file (a stylesheet, not to be
confused with CSS) that can be used with an XSL
tranformation program to translate XML into other
file formats, such as HTML, text, etc.

Match.
