Of course not. Style is CSS's job. If your HTML has style in it,  
you're doing it wrong.

Moreover, the hg book does not do anything fancy that I can see. There  
would be no great pain in styling it if it had good HTML. (I just  
looked at the HTML it has now. Brrr.)

Yeah, no kidding. The last time I had it installed, it was so slow  
that I gave up and removed it. Never viewed a PDF in my browser again  
until Safari came along—and how fast it is! It puts (or put, at  
least) Acrobat Reader's plug-in to shame.

I read on one webpage (I'm on a different computer now, so I can't  
look it up) that Adobe no longer makes its browser plug-in for the  
Mac. Good riddance, I say.
