I need to create an on-line resource within an existing website. An idea is to use Brainstorm's web publishing feature ( http://www.brainstormsw.com/weblog/index.php?tag=publish_html ) but I was thinking of something more plain-text like that I could integrate in the existing structure.
Has anybody using Wikis done something similar? I can't use any database-driven application on the site so the output should be plain HTML that I can then format with style sheets etc.

Alexander,
Notebook Wiki (http://notebook.wjduquette.com does a nice job with exactly this. I just exported my information as a set of HTML files and it did it beautifully, maintaining all the links, and including the home page and an index page.
I have really grown fond of this little program. It isn't as sophisticated or powerfual as ConnectedText, but it is very handy for keeping useful information at hand wherever I go, because it runs as a single executable file, so I can keep it on a USB drive. It has some nice features, like a script for creating daily logs. It builds an index of all pages, which can be viewed in a side panel. Oh, yes. It is also free.
If you check out the web page, you'll find that it has been over a year since the last update -- version 2.13 is in beta, but I've found it works fine. I just got a note from the developer that he is working on version 3.0, but he would make no promises about when he'll be done.

I think both DogMelon Note Studio (paid) and wikidpad allow html export.

Thanks for the suggestions; I'm trying out the free alternatives first (Notebook and Wikidad) and then DogMelon Studio.

Alexander,
Do I need to say that I'll be looking forward to hearing about the results of your tests? Thank you.
