Your post shamed me into action, so...

In the latest CVS, you can say

   rdoc -1 something.rb | w3m -T text/html

and you get some of the ugliest output I've ever produced (including
bad links, I'm afraid). I just wanted to see how easy it would be to
add.

To be fair, it actually looks pretty good when formatting the README
file, but give it a load of .rb files and the overall structure seems
to get lost. I'd welcome any contributions to make it look nicer.


Cheers
