Hi Bill,
at present this is not possible using grohtml. It is a nice idea
though, and in principle easy to implement. It would also fit nicely
with css (as you say). I guess one method to implement this would be
to make the www macro set initialise post-grohtml with the correct
set of tags for headings, titles, preformatted text etc.
Then make post-grohtml emit these appropriately. Alternatively
post-grohtml could look up the various definitions from another input
file (.grohtmlrc). I guess I favour the first, any thoughts, anyone?
regards,
Gaius
