The intro.htm page is fairly simple so I'll start there. Let me know if the 
following is the sort of thing you require and if you would like me to attempt 
to provide something similar to try and handle more complicated pages.

* Replace the comments <!--top jump start--> and <!--top jump end--> with <div 
id="Header"> and </div> respectively.

* Remove all &nbsp; tags from list of links. Add the desired space by adding 
this to the css:
#Header a,#Footer a {
  padding: 0 0.4em 0 0;
}

* Remove the <hr> tag. Add line and whitespace for the Header using the 
following css:
#Header {
  padding: 0.2em;
  border-bottom: solid medium #aaa;
}

* Enclose the body of actual the page content (every thing between the end of 
the Header div and the start of the Footer div) with <div id="Content"> and 
</div>. Add whitespace at the top and bottom using the following css:
#Content {
        padding:0.5em 0;
}

* Instead of <br>font size=+2><b>Introduction</b></font><br><br> do this: 
<h1>Introduction</h1>

* Paragraphs are currently visually separated by using <br><br>. Replace these 
with a <p> tag at the start of a paragraph and and </p> at the end.

* A table is currently used to provide an indented numeric list of features of 
J. The same visual appearance can be more cleanly represented by:
   - replacing the <table> and </table> tags with <ol> and </ol> respectively 
(ol=ordered list),
   - deleting all the <tr> and </tr> tags,
   - deleting the <td> and </td> tags and content (numbers) for the first 
column of the table.
   - relacing the <td> and </td> tags for the 2nd column with <li> and </li> 
respectively (li=list item) and delete the <br><br> tags from the end of each 
cell.
   - Add whitespace around list items using the following css:
li {padding-top:0.6em}

* Replace the comments <!--bottom jump start--> and <!--bottom jump end--> with 
<div id="Header"> and </div> respectively.

* Remove <hr>.

* Remove all &nbsp; tags from list of links. Add line and whitespace for the 
Footer using the following css:
#Footer {
  border-top: solid medium #aaa;
  padding: 0.2em;
}
