Andreas,

Thanks for the vote of confidence.  I agree with you entirely, which may 
not come as a surprise to you.  I used XEmacs to generate the html, but 
there is a better way.  When I was working on it, Nicola Ken Barozzi was 
trying to integrate the SourceForge Javasrc project into Alexandria, but 
it was stalled due to licensing issues.

I think that has since been resolved, and Javasrc is available.  There 
was some talk about providing it for the automatic generation of the 
codebase in html.  The nice thing about Javasrc is that it provides 
targets for just about everything in the source files.  Combining such a 
html codebase with documentation, such as is done in alt-design is a 
powerful way to document code.  As long as the references into the code 
remain valid, the documentation is automatically updates with the latest 
version of the source.  If the source changes too much, the links break, 
and Forrest output could be used to flag such breakages.

Not having been there for a while, I'm not sure if there are new 
facilities in Forrest that mean I can re-organize the documentation.

The other issues I had were, as you have noted, browser-related.  I went 
for DOM support, but even so, I found that IE and Mozilla/Netscape 
differed in significant ways.  I even found that the behaviour of 
Mozilla differed between linux and windows.  Such issues should 
gradually clear up.

Peter
