        Good thought, indeed.  Some (many) years back when I was looking at
        preparing a book-length doc for the web with HTML I actually did
        use the style-sheet method.  IIRC, it worked well with HTML-2.0.
        But with my Jotting stuff it got a little fancier, bit-by-bit
        until I had at least two jpegs/*php plus very light blue <TABLE>
        formatting [15%, 70%, 15%], and a textured.jpg "paper" bg on the 
        70%.  That's 3 jpegs.   I don't know if you can do something like
        that with CSS.  I wound up creating *one* html/php template, and
        mouse cut-and-pasting my segue, then the <CENTER>meditation</CENTER>
        and after a few hours it was good enough... .  

        I'll check into the style sheets; thanks!

        PS:  I also checked out Don Knuth's TeX stuff, but that's waaaaay
             overkill :-)
