I am probably over thinking, that happens a lot :-), but I think that the 
preamble should be made generic. There are several file formats that allow a 
preamble not just latex and html.

I say this because I am thinking that sooner or later it would be nice to 
support directly markdown or structured test. That is a common request and 
currently we suggest using pandoc but just like in the html case we have more 
information than an external converter.

The purpose of this message is just to put things into perspective and not to 
stall any plans.
