I usually do it by hand too but I tend to end up with fairly bland looking 
results. I've tried Microsoft Office in the past and really didn't like the 
generated html. I recently loaded a copy of OpenOffice and I was planning to 
play around to see how that does at generating html with sophisticated 
layout.

When setting up the site we were asked to check that text format files only 
contained ASCII characters. I don't recall any real discussion over it at 
the time. I think there is some sense to it being ASCII though as UTF8 might 
imply that using extended character sets is encouraged.

ps. I'm not convinced that very many people monitor this newsgroup 
regularly, so you might want to add a little response to the existing thread 
in povray.binaries.images.
