Yes, indeed. But there are cases when one needs to show Smalltalk
code to people who don't have a browser, because they are not (yet)
Smalltalk users. In these cases, I have found Dandilion to be a
wonderful aid. It will produce nicely formatted and linked HTML
pages. See

Be warned: Dandelion is big, and it can produce many other things in
addition to HTML pages (like UML diagrams). But it will do what you
want. Look at the examples.
