Very good! Many thanks! I have gladly inserted your changes into
http://picolisp.com/tractatus

Currently the Accept-Language header is not observed, and instead the
language is set explicitly. As you know, inserting (locale "NO" "no") at
the beginning of the 'tractatus' function would do that (but then it
should better be user-controllable as e.g. in the demo "app/gui.l").

Hi Alex,

A very nice piece of lisp code! The only part I didn’t like very much, was the 
yellow color. As usual, I had to tweek the CSS. Here is my variant:

# CSS
(de tractatus.css ()
   (prinl "html {background-color: #eee;}")
   (prinl "body {margin: auto; max-width: 96ex; border: 1px solid #bbb; font: 
20px serif; background-color: #ffd; padding: 2em 5% 4em 5%;}")
   (prinl "ul {padding-left: 3ex; list-style: none;}")
   (prinl "li {padding: 0.3ex 0;}")
   (prinl "a {text-decoration: none}") )

As I noticed that the clickable lines in the  had tooltips (title), I got 
tempted to check if they were depending on the Accept-Language value 
(no,en-US;q=0.7,en;q=0.3) in my (Firefox) requests, but I didn’t see any 
Norwegian tooltips. Are there other PicoLisp demo apps where the displayed 
texts (or tooltips) are according to the Accept-Language value in the request 
header? I’m just curious. ;-)
