Re: [hypermail] tar file of pre-commit hypermail WAI enhancements

 I get a segfault with option linkquotes=1 (something needs to change with array indices around line 574 of finelink.c).

 I get a segfault with indextable=1.

 There's no default that does any equivalent of "body {color: black; background: #ffffff}". Something should be done about that.

 I'm not sure I like the phrase "More options". Maybe it should be "Index files"?

 Checking for the old text looks easy enough that I don't see any excuse for having it incompatible.

 I have no opinion on this.

 It segfaults when I specify another language. You need to put some sort of string for each entry - English or a guess at what's right in the target language.
