Everybody's file are made with 644 permissions, just need to change them
manaually I think.

That would be the extranious stuff.  I couldn't edit your files but I
could rename the directory then copy them to a new directory with the old
name!  They'll want deleteing now.

to use the KHelpCentre stylesheet.

Yes, that's an option, but I prefer to use nice modern HTML and not

worked out how to do it in nice modern HTML.

% umbrello --reverse

It's for right to left language users, but since we don't have an Arabic
or Hebrew translation it's just a good trick.  I wonder what top to bottom
languages end up with.
