Before you do that, be sure to see the adalib_html tool at:

http://www.seas.gwu.edu/seas/eecs/Research/ada/adalib_html/

(this site was mentioned eariler in this thread). This tool is written
in Ada, and compiles nicely on Win95 with GNAT (by which I mean, all I
had to was type "gnatmake -O3"). I use it to publish the specs to
Windex - one of these days I'll compare it's output to that of the
Perl script that comes with GNAT.
