Re: [O] html checkbox output

Bastien-

Top quoting to keep the history but save the search to the bottom
:)...

Yes, i will rework/simplify the patch (remove the free-form option and
the in-buffer setting), but I've been short on time the last week or
so.. Will fix it and push this week.

BTW, I've kept ascii output as the default mostly so I don't break the
regression test. Should I leave it alone or make utf-8 the default and
update the test?
