It is found here already. Just retitled the page Template & Fmt. Maybe
it will catch the eye better.

I'll think about making the switch.  You make a good point about the
bullets in the right sidebar. I did find this worked a bit:

#side li li { padding: 0px 25px 0px 25px; }

It pads it on both sides so you get the equivalent of a right indent
on the second level. Could do for three levels in I'm sure. Of course
it indents both sides so you lose some space...

I think this is in the core style sheet now. (Maybe I added it since
the last release).  Did you have a different suggestion?

Cheers,
Dan
