OK, that's good to know that OpenOffice isn't to blame. I tried OpenOffice
3.2 (at work) today, and formatting looked just as bad as what I saw last
night at home. :)

Good to know. Obviously you wouldn't get the beautiful layout that LaTeX
can generate, but I don't think the average read know better. Most read
documents published on the web - and typography has taken a serious
nose-dive since the web became popular. Quite sad.

I definitely will. Last night was just me playing around and getting to
know RTF tags a bit more. As soon as I have something concrete, I'll submit
the patches.


PS:
Resolving links are still very broken in fpdoc. RTF and IPF output (just
two output formats that support links) using FPC's RTL & FCL docs or tiOPF
& fpGUI class docs show numerous unresolved/broken links. I tried to debug
the ResolveLink() method in fpdoc last night, but couldn't find an answer.
Some links work, some don't.
