Whatever colours I pick, *someone* is going to hate them. I'm just sorry
that it's you, Robin!

I'm not going to make any further changes to the 2.0 version, but I'm
planning to extensively revamp the whole document for the 2.1 version. At
very least, I'm going to get rid of nearly every <pre> tag, and to
externalise the formatting into a css. That would allow people download the
document and to muck about with the format to their heart's content.

But I'm actually thinking of going one step further, and keeping the master
document in XML format (possibly using DocBook?) and transforming to HTML as
required. And indeed into PDF using your own wonderful ReportLab tool.

But I don't know *anything* about this stuff - I've just bought 'XML in a
Nutshell', so we'll see how I get on. But if anyone has any advice, don't be
shy!

Yup, my bad. I should have changed the date. Sorry.
