Re: ConLang Journal

I fear that a "lowest common denominator" needs to be
established somewhere, and it seems that plaintext is
awfully limiting in terms of format--simple font
distinctions can clarify interlinear translation or example
passages immensely. Assuming that the volume isn't
particularly high (and I can't imagine it would be!), I
could probably manage to do the basics for converting
plaintext to RTF or HTML (indents for examples, font
contrasts as needed, etc...) and pass the results on to
Christophe.
