On the laptop, which supports -f html, I get
c:\>ri -v
  invalid option -- v
  For help on options, try 'ri --help'

Likewise for ruby-doc.org.

They both respond to ri -h with

    --format, -f <name>
                   Format to use when displaying output:
                      plain, bs, ansi
                   Use 'bs' (backspace) with most pager programs.
                   To use ANSI, either also use the -T option, or
                   tell your pager to allow control characters
                   (for example using the -R option to less)



The Win2K PC tells me ri -v is 1.8a
but ri -h comes up as an invalid option.

Yes, that would seem so.  I'm likely going to run 1.8.2 on ruby-doc.org, 
and that appears to include the html formatter.  I may then add a new 
formatter to emit xhtml.

Thanks,
