I keep my gear list up to date by using google docs spreadsheet. It doesn’t support images [yet], so I created a simple control that sources in the spreadsheet and the replaces the [[ ]] tags with proper html tags. The formating is still a little screwed up because I’m not stripping out the html tags. I haven’t thought of a good way to do this, because there are style references in there.
