I've fixed the table size problems, by giving html_header() an optional second argument that determines whether it's HTML 4.01 or XHTML. This allows html_header() to output the right doctype, decide whether or not to output the closing slashes on <link> and <meta> elements, and (hacky) output style for th,td to get the table size right but only for HTML 4.01 where the IE quirks apply. This is hacky, but cvsweb is the only one that is still HTML 4.01 (it previously had hacks to change the DOCTYPE that html_header() returned, fun!) so it's a limited scope hack. The only remaining barrier to claiming that it's ready is the mailing list archives - it looks like there is some special magic that's only on docs.freebsd.org and I'd have to test there, but docs.freebsd.org's web server doesn't execute CGIs in user directories. Anyone know how the mailing list archive stuff is set up well enough to help test how it'll work with my updated cgi-style.pl? Thanks, Bill
