Excuse me gentlemen for breaking into this conversation, but I'm the person
who places the documenation (in tagged form) into Win32lib. Is there a
problem that I can help with?

I am currently displaying details taken directly from win32lib, eg:

As you can see, things could be improved for on-screen display.

I don't think it is terribly difficult to strip /i /b /code /endcode
/li /n /topic /proc /desc and whatever else I might have missed to
make the text a bit more legible when displayed in a window.

   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

My turn to be confused. You mean you are *NOT* saving the slash-tags
you are adding in the source file?
