I know one thing led to another back when I looked at this and I soon had a fairly big patch yet not a really complete. At that point I decided to cut losses and do a surgical fix for precisely the one thing the ticket was asking for, and leave the rest alone. If someone had the ambition to clean up the file – the whole mark-up could stand to be a lot cleaner, if memory serves. I seem to remember it produces pre-CSS era HTML3-style output (using a table for trivial layout, among others (just to set a background colour or some such)).
