While I consider zeal a really great idea, I would like to note that
plain-text access is essential. I don't know whether this is possible
if we ship documentation through zeal and even if it is possible: Is
it still readable? I don't know anything about the formats zeal uses.

The proposal I filed for compiling markdown sources from the nixpkgs
repository into pdf or html could be used for shipping documentation
with zeal, if zeal is able to include the html I generate with pandoc,
right?
