Here's the deal, I cut slide making support out of TidyLib. It simply broke the overall I/O model of the library. That, and there are better tools for the job, namely XSLT. I really have no idea how many people use the -slides option. It has always looked excessively hard-coded to my eye. You really want to use external template files: one for the TOC and another for the individual slides. The templates would contain any needed scripts or stylesheets, etc. In C in TidyLib is a tricky and inflexible place to maintain that stuff. Any arguments in favor? If there are folks who still want to use it, Tidy "Classic" will still be available. In any case, it should be built as a utility based on the library. Comments? take it easy, Charlie
