Just put something like into every page and let emacs info reader -- or stand-alone info reader -- deal with that; should be damn trivial compared to XSLT or javascript or whatever. But by all means, add whatever javascript and XML etc to make it useful in a standard browser as well. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
