Newt's Cape uses HTML for markup and creates Newton books (like Press and
Bookmaker) -- which are different from Paperback format/reader.
typographic font changes <I>, <B>, <FONT> etc. as well as
idiomatic styles: <EM>, <STRONG>, etc. headings <H1>...<H6> map to table of
contents overview. links within/between books, tables, ...
you can change font (name,size) preferences for major tags <P>, <H1>,...
and re-create the book dynamically on Newton from the source.
