I see the same.

There are so many reasons not to switch to info, but what you illustrated 
is a very good one of those.

But yes, if you have the time, and it would be fun for you (before your 
battery runs flat), I'd appreciate a small script to do a 
quick-and-not-so-dirty conversion.  Heck, if you use some kind of object 
orientation, I might be talked into providing the html backend.

Ciao,
Dscho
