 Keiron,
 
 Thanks for clueing me up on the documentation.  I strongly accept you 
 recommendation, and I will gladly use it in future.  Btw, the heading 
 graphics from the the design documents seem to have been screwed up. 
 Have you noticed this?

Yes, I noticed. I figured that that it would be easier to way for the new 
website design than to delve into the outdated stylebook.
The new design will look quite different without all the images etc.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the work. Maybe this can go with the rest of the design.

I would strongly suggest that you do not write the html.
The apache web site is done from xml and all the images, layout etc. is 
done from a stylesheet. These will also be updated by others.
If you look at docs/xml-docs/fop/*.xml this is the xml format. It is 
converted by stylebook (will become cocoon soon) into the html.

Bernard,

Thanks for that.  I have just had a long day trying to make the html at 
least readable under Navigator 4.75.  Isn't html wonderful?

I have also tried the current Opera 5.0 release on linux, with 
reasonable results.  The problem with using CSS is that the actual font 
sizes on a particular browser are still unpredictable.

Hi Peter,
FYI, with Konqueror (modern yes, 100% finished maybe not), the PNG images 
(like in PropertyConsts.html) aren't displayed, but right-clicking them allow 
them to be opened in the image viewer. Maybe a mime-type problem?

The pages look fine with IE5.
