do this type of formatting as well, but the problem being that .pdf is now a
defacto standard (plug ins for Netscape etc.) that it makes it difficult to

My 2 bits worth - stick to good ol' HTML. It's boring, inefficient, slow,
but anyone that accesses a web page already has a viewer! It's not a
"defacto" standard. You can make a decent job of it if you try. It's just
thousands of man-hours work, that's all ;).
