As Peter has pointed out, the CSS can handle a lot of it. It doesn't=20
have to be hardcoded into the SGML-to-HTML transformation. One option=20
would be to use colors as well (I'm not talking a rainbow of fruit=20
flavors here :). In particular, I find italics often difficult to read=20
on the web. I'll try to get a few styles worked up by tomorrow that=20
could just be added to the css file=97we can change the actual structure=20
of the HTML later.
