OK, I had the time, to test the DSSSL fragment sent to the list by Jirka Kosek. It seems it works. I'll commit it. It adds the role="" attributes content as a class="" parameter in HTML, so it looks like: <pre class="php"> and not <pre class="programlisting"> for PHP files :) Nice for you as you can now highliht all PHP examples. This also added a new list for the new versions of the CHM manual. IMHO it is a very nice idea, to have all the examples colored (even it adds some more bytes to the files). Goba
