Also, it appears that generating the html blows away a changed css file. This is not good. There needs to be a way to configure a particular CSS file to be used for both html and chm generation.

wow, what a long post !
I'm agree with all your comments.
HTMl should not have any formatting tag, only CSS reference.
>>>Also, it appears that generating the html blows away a changed css file.
Yes, the next version will autorize you to add a custom CSS file.
The only issue with all that is time ... I'm don't have enought time to work on all things !
So, by now, I'm fixing bugs and refactoring the document generator.
But your help is heavily wanted !

for the moment, you can access the whole CVS in ReadOnly (as anonymous), and provide patch (difference) if you want to fix bugs or add features.
I will add you as member only if you show me something !
I'm doing this because I've been asked too many times access for a phantom developper !!!
sorry about that.

I actually see from another posting that there is supposed to be a DelphiCodeToDoc.css file in the output folder. This does not seem to be the case for chm files. Is there a way to change the formatting for all output targets (html and chm) so that it will be consistent?

Also, after looking at that css file and the generated html, it would be really tough to make it look right using the current generated files. Many tags have hardcoded values and no class attributes, therefore it's an all or nothing thing on the tag. I would recommend that each genearted section, like the link bar at the top and bottom as well as the content sections all have their own classes on the tables. This would make altering the look much simpler. Also, it would be cool if all formatting done currently in html were to be done in the css file so that knowing what to change would be much simpler.

Actually, even better would be if we could provide an html template along with a css file that would be used at time of generation. This would allow the highest customization options. Custom tags in the template could be replaced with the text from each applicable section.

The pastel colors used currently are really odd and look bad on my lcd monitors.

If you make me a developer on this project, I'll see if I can find some time to help.
