Thanks for announcing this! I had been scratching my head, wondering "where
did the HTML stuff go?". Just goes to show, always subscribe to and read
the Lists.
It is conceivable (barely, at present) that I might take that one on at
some point. I like generating HTML when building the modules but figuring
out a general mechanism for deciding how to do so (with what options) and
where to put the files, is a bear, isn't it.
Best,
