Chuckle. The basics of HTML (H1, H2, P, I etc) are Very Very closely based on the [nt]roff -mm macro set. Quite useable, actually, for the basics. The tag closing etc is a PITA, I agree. Of course, in nroff you'd be going: .H1 A Level One Heading paragraph blah blah ... No tedious closing tags there!
