I wasn't planning on entering the documentation in HTML, what I thought I
would do would have auto-generation of a plain text file, let's say
gtk_container_add.txt, which would be web-editable, and CGI/server side
includes would be used to produce the web pages in a nice format.
It's not meant to be a final format.
