It is even better, IMHO, to write it in Texinfo.  Then you could
easily produce the on-line docs in Info, HTML, plain text, PDF, and
get a nicely-printed copy, all from the same source.  The GNU Texinfo
package supports most of these conversions in the makeinfo program,
and the rest (PDF and printed copy) needs TeX and related programs to
be installed.

Note that Texinfo-to-HTML conversion is only supported beginning with
version 4.0 of Texinfo, whose DJGPP port wasn't released yet.  But the
official GNU distribution supports DJGPP out of the box, so if you
need it, you can download texinfo-4.0.tar.gz from ftp.gnu.org and
build it on your machine.
