[PD] xeq documentation?

[Miller Puckette]

I've been wondering for years how I could make some sort of hypertext
document that could have links to actual Pd patches.  If anyone has
a cool idea about this I'd love to hear it.  For example, if there were
some sort of very simple HTML browsing library that worked cross-platform???

cheers
