Ah, so it does: actually it could do with some work: the print preview in 
Firefox at least doesn't look that great :-(  No syntax highlights at all, 
and the code overflows the right side of the box rather often.

In any case I'd like a consistent look and feel between our PDF's and the 
web page if at all possible.

Here goes then: 
http://johnmaddock.co.uk/test/boost_bimap/one_minute_tutorial.html is 
lacking the new top banner, but has almost the same colors as your version, 
just a touch darker here and there.  I've also moved the callouts down to a 
0pt offset so that they line up with the right line :-)

For comparison, here's the same scheme rendered as a PDF: 
http://johnmaddock.co.uk/test/bimap.pdf albeit with all the images missing - 
I couldn't be bothered to fix those up, sorry!

John.
