I've written a new version (5.8) of my html package for the XEmacs 
and the GNU Emacs 19. The name of the package is:

                 hm--html-menus-5.8.tar.gz

With this package it is very easy to write html pages for the World Wide 
Web (WWW). Eg: In most cases the user gets help to construct a specific 
link by examples or by a completition list with possible input strings.
It is also possible to insert links and images by just clicking on its
source and destination (drag and drop feature).
