..And we shall continue to do so. I should have clarified that the
only thing I did was take some *existing single-file HTML HOWTOs*,
created with the current tools, and apply the <link> tag which references
David Horton's CSS. That's all that was done.
There are obviously a few bugs that could be ironed out by processing
with tailored XSL (or DSSSL) and *then* applying the CSS. For instance,
on code examples, you can see the nice (lighter) box and border around
the example (CSS specification), and then a darker area inside the
box (which was created by the normal process).
Using these samples of our docs as a point of reference might may help
us to further the discussion. We can then make further refinements.
Ideally, I'd like to apply this to the current processing, once we get
to some level of consensus.
