In fact, HTML being a DTD of SGML, I guess it could be easier to handle this
format with the Sgml.pm module, which offers the whole mecanism to do what I
wanted from the HTML.pm...
You would only have to add the specific parts to HTML after the specific
parts of docbook and debiandoc, and provided that your documents start with
a line like
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
(as they should), it will work (I guess) !

J'admets que ces nouvelles technologies nous ouvrent d'autres perspectives,
mais je refuse que cela soit au détriment des possibilités anciennes comme
le livre. L'interaction ne doit pas être le tout de la communication. Car,
si elle le devenait, nous ne communiquerions plus qu'entre vivants, ce qui
serait barbare.
