Agreed - the urls were very helpful.

+1. I've spend more time than I care to think about tweaking the
sourceformat.txt file to get things the way I want them, and have finally
determined that it can't be done. It's the 'if first td in tr'... kind of
thing that's pretty important to me that DW can't apparently handle.

I just don't have the time to spend to do real extensibility work on DW - my
time needs to be spend on client work more than self-satisfying software
hacking! :)

Ah well, there's always DW5.
