Important

Browser CSS support varies from browser to browser. The shipped examples work well on IE6, Firefox 1.0 and up, Mozilla 1.7 and up, Opera 8 and Konqueror 3.4 but have not been tested on other browsers.

All browsers have CSS quirks, but Microsoft's IE6 has so many omissions and errors that in order to separate clean CSS from the IE6 workarounds a separate xhtml11-quirks.css stylesheet is used. If you're not viewing your documents with IE6 then the quirks stylesheet can be omitted using the —attribute=quirks! command-line option.

Default xhtml11 stylesheets:

./stylesheets/xhtml11.css

The main stylesheet.

./stylesheets/xhtml11-manpage.css

Tweaks for manpage document type generation.

./stylesheets/xhtml11-quirks.css

Stylesheet modifications to work around IE6 browser incompatibilities.

Use the theme attribute to select and alternative set of stylesheets. For example, the command-line option

-a theme=foo will use stylesheets foo.css, foo-manpage.css and foo-quirks.css.
