...in exactly the same way that the HTML stylesheets have nothing
whatsoever to do with the EMBOSS documentation.  The crucial phrase in
my last sentence is "our copy".

So, when they are hosting the pages, we can (if we so choose) have the
same colour scheme, say, as the rest of the local pages.  Just as, if
the documentation is hosted at NIH, those pages can inherit the NIH
house style from *their* HTML stylesheets. Or, at Lincoln's Inn
Fields, the Cancer Research UK stylesheet can apply, or at the
Pasteur, their stylesheets can apply.

As the Scousers would say: "Calm down. Calm down" :-) .  The point
I've been making (in the last three emails I have sent out on this
subject) is that the HTML stylesheets are independent of the XML
stylesheets and of the documentation itself.


all the best
