Hi Bob,
Thank you very much for your reply.It gives me more ideas which will
definitely help me when styling the generated HTML.

I examined some of the HTML outputs and saw divs with class
attributes.

I am willing to use the mode class.value and also the mode
class.attribute where necessary.As I got the idea both these modes can be
used to differentiate the elements in the generated HTML by applying class
names and attributes as we wish.

Now I'm trying to understand what is exactly done by make.clean.html
parameter as it's quite confusing to me.I will give a try to understand it
myself and ask when I'm unable to get the correct idea.
