Thank you.

It has some bugs in Opera as well. I developed it on Win2K IE. Did not
have time to look in other browsers.

Unfortunately not for the time being. It may be implemented with something like
clicking/unclicking actuates/activates/deactivates a node. After that
the style will be applied to all the selected nodes etc. etc.

This is another issue to be handled. Currently I do not handle nested
inline tags
like <strong><em>bold and italic text</em></strong>. I may address it
in the future as well. Or may be I can change the className of the
node to say
.boldItalic and assign the look n feel via css.
