I think that we would begin by assembling a big mass of content (with a
simple CSS stylesheet that we can use for now for display and printer
output) and once we get a large body of text, we can do the conversion
on a single step, possibly with a nice conversion tool.

A mono tutorial module seems like the right place for placing these
things.
