Well, we have also txt version (it is in included dos archive) so there should
be no problem with the browser in that case ;-)

That's not the problem of the DocBook idea but problem of rendering process. I
had not much time to customize all features available in free XSL stylesheets
and templates at http://docbook.sourceforge.net/projects/xsl/index.html. Also
I choosed xhtml as target for output for documentation. It is possible to use
'traditional' html. Please, verify:

html chunked: http://megapov.inetart.net/manual/html/index.html
html long: http://megapov.inetart.net/manual/html/megapov01.html

xhtml chunked: http://megapov.inetart.net/manual/index.html
xhtml long: http://megapov.inetart.net/manual/megapov01.html

I have checked xhtml output in validators but noticed only report about missed
alt and unnecessary "xmlns" attribute. Now I rechecked this and it seems
during development there appeared some duplicated ids. I have to investigate
it more. I have already found some bugs in free XSL files and some were fixed
for our release.
