It'd be nice of htmldoc could render a web page with style
sheets.

I don't understand what you're asking.  Be more specific.

It be nice if htmldoc could could render say http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/
into PDF and have it look at least close to what that page does under
Mozilla.

So, in other words, you want htmldoc to support CSS as much as possible.

Current htmldoc will render pages with stylesheets fine, although the
stylesheet will be ignored.  (This was why I was confused; you wanted
htmldoc to "render a web page with style sheets", which it already
does.)

From the FAQ at http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/faq0020.html:

"HTMLDOC does not currently support stylesheets. The initial
implementation of CSS1 and CSS2 will be provided in HTMLDOC 1.9 which is
expected to come out during the 4th quarter of this year."

That should give you an idea of what you can expect.

Yeah.

Pardon me while I kick myself for not reading their FAQ.  Yeah, I figured
it'd take awhile.  It's a big project, I'm not surprised it'd take a year,
or so.  Glad they are taking it on, I don't envy them.  ;-)
