I did make the dfn.js stuff work for the "Edition for Web Authors" subset of the spec: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-author-view/ Example: click on the phrase "space characters" here: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-author-view/common-microsyntaxes.html#space-character I did it by patching both anolis (to add a new filter) and the splitter code: http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/html5/spec-author-view/patch.anolis?rev=HEAD;content-type=text%2Fplain http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/html5/spec-author-view/patch.spec-splitter.1?rev=HEAD;content-type=text%2Fplain It works -- and would also work for the full spec -- but I suspect there probably has to be a better way to implement it than the way I did. Because the way I did it very slow; it adds several minutes to the anolis part of the document-building process. On the host I use for building the author view of the spec, I think it causes the build to take 6 minutes or so to run (compared to only a minute or two without it). --Mike -- Michael[tm] Smith http://people.w3.org/mike/+
