Hey guys,

I finally got an internet connection, and so I've been able to itch the
very scratchy xhtml importer. Thanks for the heads up from David Chart
- I hope you will be able to use the exporter to create the Abi Help
  docs. This should mend bug 1570, at least.

WRT bug 1572, which browser were you using which produced the grey
border? I have a suspicion that it's a browser bug, but I'll need more
info to look into it. Could you provide me with a sample *.abw doc?

I don't think 1318 should be hard to fix - I'll look into this later.

The other outstanding xhtml bugs are importer related, and I'm not as
familiar with that code, so I'll be looking at it further, later.

Another note about the xhtml exporter: Understandably, someone removed
my use of a hash table for styles from the exporter. But my reasoning
for having it in there in the first place was to avoid style collisions.
Style names may collide, because I remove whitespace from them before I
reference them (so that they are valid CSS). Should I even bother
worrying about this? Perhaps we could issue a gentle warning on export
about this? *shrugs*

Any other thoughts on xhtml export?

Take care,

        John
