Hallo:
You might want to rethink the process. Whereas you have defined on-line
viewing as the only deliverable, you might want to add hardcopy as a
deliverable. If you do this, your choice of tools will change.
For those web pages that are specifically this kind of documentation,
consider using Word97, Ventura 8, FrameMaker 5.5, or some such tool, as
the source. This way you have output formatted for hardcopy. From this,
using one of the aforementioned tools, you can generate PDF and also
generate simple HTML files for posting on the web.
Because of the codes that HTML adds, I think it easier to go from
Word/Ventura/FrameMaker to HTML rather than trying to pull a Frontpage
site into one of these applications.
