May I ask what problem(s) you are trying to solve? Not that I oppose
the idea, but if this point is clearer then it will be much easier to
evaluate the various suggestions.

For example:

(a) It's hard to scroll through the documentation on the web page
because it scrolls too fast.
(b) It's hard to edit the body of the module because mtags doesn't do
a great job of foreign code.
(c) It's hard for new users to get an overall picture of what the module does.

Cheers,
Mark.
