Yes. We use that for the HTML we generate and bundle with Hyperbole. But that
is "missed" when ELPA generates the HTML since it does not use the CSS we
supply.

However, I understand that having the same CSS for all manuals is a good idea
and, as Bob pointed out in separate reply, the issues we had in the past seems
to have been solved in that CSS. So we are good without my suggestion.
