Its the WYSIWYG capabilities that I find appealing of XyWin+HTML.

On a related note, HTML allows you to place graphics images in a
document from a variety of formats: GIF, JPG, BMP, TIF, etc. Is
there any discussion at TTG of expanding XyWin to recognize more
graphics file formats? I've never gotten the
Import Graphics feature to work very well, since something always
seems to get mucked up converting to/from TIFF or
BMP or PCX. Seeing as how GIF and JPG seem to be the emerging
standards for graphics files in the Internet, how about putting a
GIF or JPG filter into XyWin?

If we undertake this project it will be more than a printer
driver or filter-- we would have an HTML mode that would use
native HTML commands and present them in WYSIWYG editing mode.
If we do it, we will have to include GIF and JPG graphic support
as well.
