| Norm,
|
| Any feedback on this patch? I've been using it successfully with 1.62,
| .63, and .64 of your stylesheets, and it does make the customisation a
| lot simpler.
Applied.

| I've got a fourth solution. Teach the gentext-* functions about another
| alist, local-<lang>-intra-label-sep (and the other *-sep alists), and
| get them to check this alist before checking the primary one.
|
| If there's an entry in the local-*-sep alist then use that in
| preference.
|
| Attached is a patch to version 1.62 of the stylesheets that does exactly
| that. With this patch in place, people writing customisation layers
| just have to write:
|
| (define (local-en-label-title-sep)
| (list
| (list (normalize "warning") ": ")
| (list (normalize "caution") ": ")
| ))
|
| or similar to override specific entries.
[...]
Be seeing you,
