Perl (www.perl.com is a good starting place) uses a format it calls POD
(plain old documentation) and has converters from POD to hmtl, man pages,
and many other formats (I personally hate POD, but some people love it).
Speaking of perl, if you really want to provide a useful kermit extension,
provide an add-on perl XS module for talking kermit, or embed perl in kermit
as an alternative scripting language. (Not that I believe it will happen,
but you can always ask :-).
