> 3. OBJAVI outputs one blank page
> 4. The PDF output has many errors. Whenever a word starts with f the

> My short term needs are access to the CSS so I can change the style.

> needs for precise formatting so we don't confuse the users.

> I am also hoping to find out about how to control the output of the
