You lost me there. If you define a documentation task as a one-person effort, then it will indeed be work (not fun) to try to satisfy the desires of a bunch of other people. So, rather than expect everyone else to suppress their own desires, change the task so that it isn't a one-person effort. It isn't quite the same as instant gratification, but it feels better in the long run. For example, I doubt that anyone would object to changing the output so that it becomes easy to apply CSS skins. I mean, there will undoubtedly be some quibbles over small choices like which DOCTYPE to use, but technical items like that are relatively easy to resolve and don't require prior buy-in. I am willing to work on that because I like enabling parallel designs (and know how to tweak Anakia). Other people can have fun coming up with new skins, and we can either decide on a default or rotate a few of them. ....Roy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
