I think as we're effectively just marking text with headings and such, we invent a
very lightweight markup such as I suggested earlier.
I'll convert one of my HLP files into that format by hand and you guys can have a
look, sound like an idea?
Then I'll write a bunch of converters to output Wiki markup, JSOM, YAML - whatever...

VMS Help content is/was written for display in fixed width font with tabs and spacing for
alignment of indentation and columns.
Agreeing on tags means picking a markup style to structure the text. Are you suggesting
to invent another light weight markup language, or would it make more sense to use an
existing one?
