Actually, now that I've looked at this more closely, I can't figure out why the alternate stylesheet is not underlining the links (both visited and unvisited) on Reinhold's server. On my page, they are underlined: http://uoregon.edu/~pmccarty/texi2html/lilypond-index.html Strange... but my current style *does* underline all links. Since they are not underlined with the alternate stylesheet, I *completely* agree with you; the links are indistinguishable from the main text, which is not good. -Patrick McCarty _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
