Yes, it was the entire change of the plugin I wasn't kosher with as it changed entirely the css and markup and broke the theme work Bob did. I definitely want to maintain what Bob originally had because it is the first plugin I intend to swap out partially for the pure java version, the first phase being simply the xdoc -> xhtml transformation which is entirely doable as a first step. This is why I was highly hesitant on processing the massive set of changes. > > This approach is fine, I think > > asking the general populace of users if they wish to help > > maintain a plugin where they have no record of having done so > > before is not fine.
