You can do the same with a PDF File(search,find), and do more(bookmarks),
Plus it is less easy to be changed,

Don't need that stuff in a text file. Drop it in your favorite word
processor and use search. This has always worked for me in our local Met
Council rule book. When I was rules chair, I found I could respond to
questions very quickly by searching my text file.
Resorting the class designations in a spreadsheet became so popular that we
started printing them that way in the rule book.
>platform independence
How could anything be more platform-independent than plain text?
