If you just need hyperlinking and searching, PDF would be sufficient.
You can even link between several documents and web URLs.  Plus you
get pretty good layouting options.  Plus you can generate it with
PDFWriter in Ruby.

Just an idea in case there is no more interactivity required beyond
what you mention.

Kind regards
