You can       also set the `title` attribute to set the hover text in the navigation bar.       The `rel` values for the "Document" menu in the navigation bar are       "toc" for a table of contents, "glossary", "index", "chapter",       "section", "subsection", and "appendix". Since "chapter", "section",       "subsection", and "appendix" all appear as folders, I'd recommend       setting the `title` attribute because otherwise they'll all be named the       same generic which isn't helpful for navigation.       Not sure about the items under the "More" or "Subscribe" menus, but the       following URLs pretty much cover the use cases as far as I can tell, so       checking in the tag for s would probably clear up       everything else.       https://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/slideshow.en       https://blog.seamonkey-project.org/2025/06/05/seamonkey-2-53-21-is-out/              --       JWKREID              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
