<pre wrap="">Depends...does it truncate or append when you start? If
append, you could pre-populate the required data, then use
the html stuff. I don't recommend it, I'm saying it might be
possible.

Well -I tried some things with variations on the fp HTML :cr
command, and I don't believe Marv can use it to start off his
output document.
I was not able to get anything other than one type of document
type specification by using the :dt option. But maybe there are
reserved codes that come after the :dt to set up for different doc
types. I couldn't find any documentation of such.
BUT, you can use:
html :cr [outdocpathandname] :tx [other stuff]
and that output (otherstuff) does appear *before*
the <HTML> tag. So I tried it with Marv's requirement and it
worked fine to handle the document type spec.
What I could not find a way to do is embed anything else within
the <HTML> tag as in <HTML xmlns="....">. I even tried using :zz
and that didn't help. (5.0.14).
And to answer your question Mark, I don't believe there is any
way to use fp's HTML commands to append to a file.
So back to saying 'just use open and writeline, for crying out loud..' :)
