That's the big advantage of having the source freely available. While
Gribnif may be in no hurry to add image support, others might jump to
the sources and add it. Similarly for sound support. If ST-Guide
doesn't have sound support, we have to rely on a single person (Holger)
to add it. This could take time, and Holger may not be very interested
in ading it [I'm assuming ST-G doesn't have sound support. If it does,
substitute some other feature, such as network support].
I think it's a necessity for any documentation system to provide at
least for XIMG support, and potentially Metafile support. Hypertext
is the preferred navigation model. Many applications have no use for
images in documentation, but for some, it is absolutely vital.
