(cc'ing list) Nicolas- The patch Jambunathan sent didn't really make much sense to me, as it didn't provide any added functionality over simply subclassing (deriving) from the current html exporter. Anyway, attached is a patch which parameterizes the html exporter in a way which is useful (for me :) in deriving new backends. It also make the exporter more capable of generating HTML5 compatible output instead of just XHTML. If you agree with it, i would be happy to apply it (or you can :). rick
