For the others formats, HTML for example, in your implementation the images are copied many times in the doc tree (each time a doc needs the image) which is, as I said in my previous mail, a space eater. Well, nothing is easy, our .mk files are very "hairy" cause of multiples add-ons etc. All the thing should be rewritten from the beginning, but who would be enough "crazy" to take that task? :)) Marc --GRPZ8SYKNexpdSJ7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+zzQB81T1MWxkgcoRAkMzAJwLV9kcGRQFiX1GSrTwDxjV8+IkYACgoC57 bEKK841WgcFD9Rj0qeKEpts= =rup9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --GRPZ8SYKNexpdSJ7--
