I would like to add a reference to the css file for
the non-generated pages. It probablly should be
a different stylesheet file that the antmanual.css as
that one should also be used by the generated pages.
Wouldn't it be cleaner to
(1) add that to antmanual.css (2) make the xdocs proposal reference antmanual.css (3) make the xdocs proposal not create any bgcolor attributes or <font> elements at all
?
I don't know enough about the inner workings of the xdocs proposal to
know how easy (2) and (3) would be, though.
Yes, it would be cleaner, but:
1) the generated docs use tables for positioning. Either this would need to change, or
one would need to place a large number of <divs> in the hand written manual pages.
2) the proposal uses velocity to generate the html files from the xml input files, and
after spending some time with trying to modify this
a while ago, I would not want to do this again.
In any case, a number of people have been looking at modifying the auto generation,
so this could be done when the new auto generation is done (i.e. the generated html
would use css to set attributes rather than having every thing in-line).
