True. I didn't want to add yet another column. What could be done is a backends page similar to the manufacturers page. That means: backend name, version, new links: comment: manpage: table of supported models Maybe I will add this as --html-split-backends or similar. > Another feature request: Some manufactures change their name rather ofter or > get bought by other manufacturers (e.g. Vuego becomes Acer, Acer becomes > Benq).

I think it'd be better if no table at all is generated. That one was easy. > In html-backends mode the entry is lost completely. Yes. No models -> no entry. I will think about dispalying the manufacturers comment in this case. > In a perfect world it'd be possible to supply links within the page (i.e. > from > one entry (mfg, scanner) to another), but maybe that can wait until release > 2.0. That's already possible for manufacturers on the manufacturers page. E.g.: :mfg "aaabbb manufacturer" :comment "See <a href=\"#AAA-MANUFACTURER\">aaa manufacturer</a>" Bye, Henning
