Agreed, but when you need documentation to look as professional as a PDF
file, HTML 5 could be useful.  I find the documentation, for example, for
Total Commander, to just be a little bit too Windows 3.1 looking. It's may
be good documentation filled with lots of good text, but it feels like
something from Windows 95 or windows 3.1.  For professional software apps
a windows 3.1 look may be just a bit too off putting.  In the case of
total commander, the folks who use total commander are they types of nerds
that don't care. But for modern professional capitalism sold apps, I think
help documents have to look more modern.  As much as I hate modern, just
for the sake of being modern. Like some kind of fashion show.
