That would be nice. But I don't know how to set the <title> text in the generated html. I didn't know Moinmoin allowed it. If somebody knows how to do it then please tell me. I'm just about to do an automated bulk update and if it's a one-line addition -- that's something I can so-easily incorporate. On the topic of fancy effects with the NuVoc portal page -- I'm a content-generator, not a Moinmoin engineer. It's lowest priority for me. If somebody wants to produce a mashup to show us all, then I'll gratefully leave it all to them. On Wed, Jan 22, 2014 at 9:31 PM, Peter B.
