Yota,
I will definitely have to have a close look at this, since I've attempted
the same thing in Python. But like the comment above, I gave up after
trying to deal with all the various syntactical rules. This might encourage
me to keep working at the effort, seeing you've gotten this far.
Jonathan - according to the script source, you can set the output style to
either Netherlands or Italian - but, as you noticed, the output default is
italian.
Thanks for this contribution Yota.
Neil
