HTML formatting of keys

[Paul Kirk]

Susan,

Simplest way is to save the document as html and code in any links to
species pages (and the links to the next couplet if it's a long key)
manually OR put it in a database and render the contents using ASP or PHP -
see http://www.speciesfungorum.org/Names/Key.asp?KeyID=1 as an example

Because the key already exists; I need to make it available for the web
and at the moment, I have neither the time nor the inclination to
code up the key just so that I can make it interactive.

I agree -- I love interactive keys.  I have all of my Trillium
data in one.  This, however, is a different thing.  I've used Delta
since the early 90's
