Sorry Mats. I'm not subscribed to lilypond list, hence I guessed
my mail would bounce from there.



I'm not sure what operating system you are using, but on Linux,
for example, there's a program called wget that can download a
copy of a full web site in a single command. I guess you can do
the same with Explorer as well. The only problem is that the files
have automatically generated names which might make it hard to
associate the file names to the correct figure.

I'm on win2k at the moment, but I tried a command line ftp
and a win2k app. Neither showed a list of png files.




Regarding the format, the tool lilypond-book included in the
LilyPond distribution can handle both LaTeX, TeXinfo and HTML
documents with embedded LilyPond code. It shouldn't be hard
to extend the program to handle some other markup language
with embedded LilyPond code. However, any discussion about
document format should be kept on the mailing list.

Thinking about that.
And just the documentation.

I *think* we both need
1. A web feed, html based.
  You want embedded lilypond code
  I want embedded images.
3. We both need more than ASCII :-)

An idea for us to work together might be.
 XML source with both
   embedded or referenced lilypond code
   and referenced images.

E.g. docbook has
   <mediaobject>
    <imageobject fileref="cclef.png" format="PNG"/>
    <lilypondObject fileref="cclef.ly" format="LLY"/>
    <textobject><para> figure showing C clef ........</para>
     </textobject>
    </mediaobject>
I've invented the lilypondobject, but you get the idea.
  Norm Walsh provides docbook to html processing.
   It would be easy to add the output media parameter
  and the customisation to the stylesheets to generate your html + ly files,
  or my html + images.

Does that make sense? LDP, Xfree, Fedora all use docbook format
for documentation, so perhaps its not such a big step?
