For those unaware, I am a beta tester and the author of The Legacy Family. As Ron knows well, I tried to have the Legacy webpages updated to a fresher look back in November 2011. The results of which are still available on my site at http://www.easygensolutions.com/concept/index.html if anyone is still interested. Kathy Thompson's comment about spending 4 weeks to do the code was not far off the mark. I spent 2-3 mths tinkering with this just at a concept stage which still show all manner of bugs; but the purpose of it was to show the idea quickly.
This post is simply a reminder that not everything falls on deaf ears, some of us do try to help make Legacy that little bit better.

It is not too difficult to do, and I suspect a lot easier than dotting all the "i's" and crossing all the "t's" for the RTF report outputs. It seems to me that those of us who produce web pages are usually prepared to go the extra mile themselves to get the result which they require, and hence shout less than those who are into reports or books.

I once ran a webpage through one of the verifiers and it detested each and every one of my alt-img tags; the page passed verification ONLY after I changed all the alt-img tags to "eye candy". That was the last time I used a verifier.
