".htx" is a file type that Junko made up for her own purposes.
.htx files are a superset of HTML.
There's no documentation for it, other than her Euphoria code.
We use it to generate the Euphoria docs
in both .html and plain text forms, as well as the
Euphoria Archive pages on the Web site. 
One new "HTML" tag that she defined is called "_archive",
e.g.

<_archive
  color=blu
  href="euphoria23setup.exe"
  title="Euphoria Installer"
  size=1000
  date="Feb 15/02"
  name="Al Gonzales"
  description="The alpha release of a fancy Windows installer for Euphoria.
   It uses the free <a href=http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php>Inno Setup</a>
   utility. Al also provided his <a href=setup.zip>setup source files</a>."

When we update the Web site, we edit these _archive entries and
add new ones, then run her generator to produce proper HTML 
(and it also now produces an archive.edb database).

It's a handy way to do things. Feel free to invent your
own new "HTML" tags.
