Write a web-based lhtml viewer and editor #26

What about this? Because my friends are not going to install the lhtml editor anytime soon.

This is an interesting idea because, you're right, people aren't going to install the editor. (I'd like to research how PDFs became popular to try and repeat that). But in the meantime, it would be nice to have a web version.

I'm not sure how to accomplish this right now. Both the security and filesystem parts of LHTML documents rely on the <webview> tag which isn't available on normal websites. So a web-based viewer/editor would have to emulate that. I'll give it some thought, but would welcome ideas for how to technically achieve this.
