I have a similar use in mind. My current plan is to use nedit as an editor,
marking up the text with a wiki markup language as I write (initially TWiki,
sooner or later some variations), then feed portions of the document through
a TWiki to HTML filter then to a browser (or HTML rendering engine).
(Aside: the wiki/TWiki markup language is important in my application as
another end point for the content is a TWiki or clone.)
Just thought I'd mention this, and that I'll be paying attention to this
thread watching for suggestions that might be useful to me.
(If my approach sounds useful to you, there is the possibility of
collaboration. My current target is writing the TWiki to HTML filter in C
(for speed), although I may fall back to doing it in Ruby, possibly as a
prototype if speed is not satisfactory.)
