Excellent work.
My advice is to bite the bullet and table-convert the rest of the
document. If you need help on this, let me know.
What I'd like to see from this is perhaps to begin grafting in more
information into the guide. There is little need to preserve the integrity
of the original document anymore if the goal is just to use it to learn the
2600. It should be just part of a larger document, and once you get into
HTML, then it's quite easy to add stuff directly into this page or linked
from it.
For instance, you could the table of frequency and note values for the
sound registers, or the analysis of how the 2600 reacts to HMOVE at
particular clock counts that was done here on Stellalist.
You could also have a full color chart with best-guess swatches (table cell
background colors in RGB). This could be done for NTSC and PAL.
The guide also has no code samples. Links to code samples would be very
useful.
It would also be a good idea to split up the guide into chunks instead of
making it one big page.
stellaguide_toc.html
stellaguide_tia.html
stellaguide_pia.html
stellaguide_tia_tech.html
stellaguide_registers.html
You can still link internally to external links:
ala
href="stellaguide_registers.html#wsync"
And all the diagram images should probably be links to the full image or
thumbnails, not inline fullsize images.

I spent some time making a (hopefully) good HTML version of the Guide, if
anyone's interested. I think it'll be useful as a reference, since it has
internal hyperlinks, so if you're reading (say) the section on missile
graphics, you can click the word ENAM0 to go straight to the description
of that register...
It's at http://www.urchlay.com/stelladoc/
Let me know what you think. Especially let me know if you find something wrong
with it, or if you have suggestions for improving it.
