Yeah, I was kind of looking forward to seeing a few POV-Ray websites
that bragged about actually being written with POV-Ray itself. It can
certainly still be done, but the addition of a specific "file open"
option for html and related file extextensions,  would have made
things a little bit more convenient. 

What I had imagined was a single option in the file type menu, that
would show files of the following file extensions in the directory
listing:

*.asp, *.css, *.htm*, *.shtml, *.xml

However, it should be mentioned that the POV editor currently does not
offer color highlighting for CSS or SHTML files. I'm not sure how
practical is would have been to tell POV to treat CSS files as if they
were HTML, for the purpose of color coding. I guess it doesn't matter
now anyway.

Peter, have you thought of using "First Page" for web editting? It's
pretty good, and it's totally free. You should find it here:
