  Likely, ability to decipher html-ese text varies with the person and with
how heavily the text is loaded with html formatting and font-changing codes
and suchlike word-processor exhaust, plus the nuisance of each paragraph of
html-ese text being on one super-giga-terato-long line. Similarly, in reading
stuff that comes with the djgpp (Gnu) C/C++ compiler I have had a weariness of
having to read it in TEX-ese, until I finally wrote an EMACS macro to go
through it and convert e.g. "@code{@var{label}:}" into "`label'".
