FUD -- Try tkinfo.  Or tell your users how to use Emacs (yes, I've done
this and it works); why do you thing Emacs' Info isn't userfriendly?
All clickable things are highlighted, though.  Conclusio: some prefer
HTML, others Info -- provide both.

The Emacs Info reader lacks graphics support (to be solved with version
21.1?).  Nevertheless it's useful.

There's more than just the GNOME Help Browser knowing about this
"trick".

Without external support, this simply doesn't work for HTML pages.
Using Info (stand alone or within Emacs) hit `sREGEX RET' and watch the
screen...
