Ah, I thought this probably /was/ the place to look. I'd missed that link 
somehow.  Too much on-screen reading makes my eyes go blurry. Still I printed 
out the important pages and I feel much more clued up now. Thanks!

I actually rather like the semi-randomness of html - the most important thing 
is that everyone is able to see the information in a reasonable layout. CSS 
also means I can show people how to basically mark up their documents etc. 
and be able to present them in a uniform style.

That was easy! next, designing and installing fonts. (Hehehe:-)
excuse me while I read the next few hundred pages of documentation.

cheers
