Just not to be mistaken: with plain HTML I mostly meant text files, of
course including CSS etc.

Sure, but it makes life easier for us: this way all of R core can
modify the webpage, and access rights etc are easier to maintain if
all is done using the same system (in our case, SVN).

It is simply very convenient that I don't have learn and remember
different tools for different aspects of the R project. Most of us
have almost everything under version control (from source code to HTML
pages, to latex files, etc), it simply is the groupware we use.

Best,
Fritz
